Riot changes LoL emote after fans raise concerns over unintended George Floyd connection

In the wake of one League of Legends emote being changed due to toxic connotations, Riot Games has made more changes to another emote’s name after its original title was perceived to be an unintended reference to a major event in American history.

The new emote featured K’Sante wearing a breathing mask with his eyes closed, which isn’t too suggestive on its own. The original name of the emote, however, caused a firestorm of complaints from the League player base, forcing the developers to change the name.
