Line 50:
* [[Art Evolution]]:
** In-game art became much better post-release.
** Chinese in-game art. Compare [http://data-cube.org/images/lolitems/Morgana.jpg this]{{Dead link}} to [http://a.imageshack.us/img180/3821/fallenangelsplash0.jpg this].
** Summoner's Rift recently had a Graphics update, complete with a new Yordle Shopkeeper.
** Some of the older champion portraits are being redone. Morgana above has a new portrait, as does Sivir, Veigar, Kayle, Tryndamere, and others. You can really see a difference between the old style of art and the new ones.
Line 320:
'''Akali:''' So many noobs. Will matchmaking ever find true balance? }}
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20110628163303/http://www.leagueoflegends.com/story/issue-7-12-october-20-cle The 7th issue of the Journal of Justice] has an interview of Mundo, in which he says he has opened a business, amongst other things. "Corporate businessman one of the many skins Mundo wear. Mundo also bodybuilder." Those sentences are interpretable literally, since those are skins you can buy to use for him.
** “Come on, Orianna. Time to learn how to tower dive."
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: This is both the worst kind of feeding and the best way to [[The Millstone|lose the game for your team]].
Line 431:
* [[Rocket Jump]]: Tristana's Rocket Jump skill. [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]].
** Ziggs can use his Satchel Charge to leap over map geometry.
* [[Rule of Three]]: [http://blog.leagueoflegends.com/?p=215 Explicitly played straight]{{Dead link}} with the three ninja champions of Kinkou.
* [[Rule 34]]: Compared to every MOBA Game out there, League Of Legends is well known for it's rule 34 and a doujin dedicated to it...god help us when Japan properly gets League of Legends with their own seiyuus voicing the game.
* [[Running Gag]]: Tamat, Lead Community Manager at Riot Games, is well-known for his favourite champion being Pantheon. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se2_mp3hX3g This patch preview featured him looking slightly unhappy hearing about upcoming changes that would reduce Pantheon's power]. A later patch preview had him say he took a break from Pantheon to play Nocturne, and asked how he would be buffed. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkdP-Xp0N6o Morello holds in laughter and tells him Nocturne would be nerfed]. Tamat is again, displeased.
Line 451:
* [[Songs in the Key of Panic]]: In Dominion, when a team's nexus drops below 50% health, the music gets a little more intense.
* [[Spin Attack]]: Katarina's Death Lotus. Rammus' Powerball. Renekton's Cull the Meek. Tryndamere's [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Spinning Slash]]. Wukong's Cyclone. Now who could I be forgetting...
** [http://lol-turkiye.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Garen_4.jpg DEMACIAAAAAAAAAA!]{{Dead link}}
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: To ''[[Defense of the Ancients]]'', but at the same time, it tries to be different and even diversifies the MOBA Genre with adding a Capture-and-Hold mode.
** A number of individual champions are also Spiritual Successors to their DotA predecessors; Ashe to Drow Ranger, Blitzcrank to Pudge, Twitch to Clinkz, Hecarim to Spirit Breaker, Varus to Windrunner, Shyvana to Dragon Knight, Twisted Fate to Nature's Prophet, Karthus to Zeus, Nidalee to Enchantress, Nocturne to Spectre, Corki to Gyrocopter, and so forth.
Line 475:
** Ashe and her basic outfit which is similar to Sivir with slightly more clothing (and she lives in the coldest part of Runeterra). Woad and Sherwood Ashe justs amps up the fanservice.
** Akali anyone? Epic [[Sideboob]].
** There's even [https://web.archive.org/web/20130708124652/http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=363215&d=1326615594 a tier list] now.
* [[Teeth-Clenched Teamwork]]: When you really really hate your teammates during a match for some reason, but are close to winning your team becomes this.
** This also happens if you get in a team whose strategy is to faceroll the opponents' team so hard they surrender, and the other team is ''very'' stubborn and refuses to surrender. And if you're doing this in a bot game? This will ascend beyond [[Teeth-Clenched Teamwork]] and go into [[And I Must Scream]]. Unlike players, bots don't surrender and get items for free, so really, you shouldn't just decide "I'll farm kills cause it's a bot game" Because they ''will'' outgear you if you let the game go on too long. There is a light at the end of the tunnel though; if the players who turtled the game decide enough is enough they can always turn 'em around and fight Baron or backdoor them.
