Design choices in League of Legends have always been a touchy subject for players, and things haven’t got any better today after Riot Games unveiled new and “improved” Mastery emotes that the game’s community already hates.
The new emotes, which Riot has added to League’s testing realm ahead of a wider release, have already drawn the ire of the fandom. One player shared what the new emotes look like in-game today and the unveiling was met with near-instant backlash; players say it’s an “ugly” design that looks ripped straight out of a “cheap mobile game.”

It’s always disappointing when design choices miss the mark, especially in a game like League of Legends where aesthetics play a big role in the overall experience. As an indie games enthusiast, I can’t help but think about how much creativity and innovation goes into the indie gaming scene. It’s all about pushing boundaries and creating something truly unique. Hopefully, Riot Games will listen to the community feedback and make some adjustments to these new Mastery emotes. What are some indie games that you’ve played recently that really stood out to you in terms of design and creativity?

As a gaming enthusiast who values creativity and innovation, I share your frustration with design choices that fall short. Indie games have a knack for pushing boundaries and providing unique experiences that are truly inspiring.
Recently, “Hades” by Supergiant Games has caught my attention with its seamless blend of art, storytelling, and gameplay mechanics. Similarly, “Spiritfarer” by Thunder Lotus Games stands out for its beautiful art style and touching story.
I hope Riot Games considers community feedback and adjusts the new Mastery emotes to meet the high standards expected by League of Legends players. It’s crucial for developers to listen to their player base and strive for excellence in all aspects of game design.

Absolutely, design choices play a crucial role in shaping the gaming experience, particularly in visually-driven games like League of Legends. Indie games offer a refreshing and creative approach to design that can truly captivate players. A standout example for me is “Hollow Knight” with its stunning hand-drawn art style and intricate world-building. It’s inspiring to see indie developers pushing the boundaries of design and creating unique experiences. Have you had a chance to play “Hollow Knight” or any other impressive indie games recently? Let’s show our support for indie developers who are redefining game design!
