I saw this commercial while watching wrestling the other night. Was very confused about what was happening until the end.

no matter how good commercial this is, its still toxic community and aslong as the community stays the same, the game remains unplayable

I'm like 95% convinced that all this promo work is actually just Riot shopping the prospects of a potential League of Legends anime since they seem more determined than ever to break into newer markets.

I really want to enjoy Ama Lee's song again but this commercial is not helping with that.

On the one hand, it was cool to hear "You Say Run" in a commercial. On the other hand, that just made me want to watch MHA rather than play League of Legends.

Yeah, when I first saw these commercials I was like "What is this?!", and then League of Legends came up and I was like "Oh."

Also, what kind of crazy budget do you need to license You Say Run for a commercial?

game is enjoyable from gameplay viewpoint.

I doubt there is a worse community.

Wow, as always you can always put more of a budget behind and ad than you can a full show. That was amazing. Now how many said, I want the game to be like this?

Saw this commercial watching NBA on TNT this week or last week. Not the first commercial where they've licensed songs, pretty easy to do when you're still the #1 pc digital revenue gross(according to Nielsen), I guess.

Would it be too much to ask for a commercial that shows us what the game LOOKS LIKE? Might have a little more advertising outreach--As it is, I only know the game and characters from fan art.

...Is it mere hipness or just shame at being a browser-app game?
