In recent years, we must be familiar with the awards of the gaming industry such as The Game Awards or Esports Awards. These awards are born to honor the best games, game makers every year as well as top athletes and content creators.
The League of Legends community also organized an award to honor Riot’s games called Necrit Awards
For gamers who love League of Legends in particular and Riot Games’ games in general, this year they also organized an award of their own. This award is named after its creator – Necrit when this is a YouTuber who is extremely passionate about the plot of LoL and has been with this game for a long time. The results of the Necret Awards 2021 include:
Best Champion Design of the Year: Vex.
Vex is the champion with the best design as voted by League of Legends gamers
Best soundtrack: Gwen.
Outfit of the year: Blitz forever with Crank.
Hero with the best storyline: Sona.
The champion with the best story in progress: Yasuo.
Yasuo’s next journey after the game Ruined King is really looking forward to
Best Supporting Character: Von Yip.
Best Short Story: Last Chapter Soates, author – Matt Dunn.
Best New Story Revealed: Shimmer.
Best New Creative Content: Tactics’ hextech upgrade system.
Best Riot Game: Ruined King.
Not League of Legends, Ruined King is the game voted by gamers as the best Riot game
As mentioned above, this award is extremely “coffee” in nature. The reason is because although it was created to honor Riot’s games, League of Legends was completely empty-handed in the game categories. Especially in the two awards “Newly created content” and “Best Riot Game”, the Ultimate Spellbook mode and League of Legends itself failed.
Even at the “Best Short Story” award, it was awarded to writer Matt Dunn’s work The Last Chapter Soates. If you remember, it was Riot Games who cut the contract with this guy despite knowing that Matt Dunn was in an extremely difficult situation. This award is nothing more than a mockery aimed directly at Riot when they fired their best writer.
The last chapter of Soates was voted this year’s best short story, but Riot fired its author
To be fair, the failure of a League of Legends player-organized award is relatively understandable. This game itself has been facing a lot of problems with balancing champions, equipment, auxiliary gems… and making the gamer’s experience worse and worse.
The imbalance and series of errors that League of Legends encounters makes this game lose a lot of points in the eyes of gamers
Meanwhile, with other Riot games, they do much better in the above factors. For example, Tactics’ hextech upgrade system has been appreciated by many gamers for creating unique and extremely interesting gameplay. Or like Ruined King brings a very new experience and helps gamers understand more about familiar characters like Yasuo, Ahri…
The hextech upgrade system is highly appreciated by many gamers
Or the gameplay and revealed stories of Ruined King are also much more attractive than League of Legends
Of course, the above award is just for fun and it has no value in terms of achievements for Riot. However, it also shows that League of Legends is having a lot of problems with gameplay, balance and gamers are not satisfied at all.
