As you would expect, League of Legends: Wild Rift is a mobile version of the PC MOBA. Riot says it’s built entirely from the ground up for mobile devices rather than a port, and because of the updated models and maps, Wild Rift is actually the ‘most true League of Legends experience’ on any device, including computers.Although there is no equality with the PC version, Riot says that there will be more than 70 champions on Wild Rift compared to the more than 150 on PC.
But Riot puts a lot of pressure on Wild Rift and calls it a version of League of Legends that can best fit into people’s lives. Whether they want to follow hardcore competitive ways or play a comfortable game during downtime. Riot estimates that games take an average of about 17 minutes, so this is possible for some commuters.
Riot makes it clear that this is not League of Legends “Lite” and that newcomers and veterans will find the same League of Legends experience with Wild Rift as on PC. Riot even plans competitions based solely on the mobile version.
And for years of League of Legends players, Wild Rift rewards your commitment to the series when you sign up for the mobile version. Wild Rift will reward veteran players with adequate ‘compensation’ once they link their Riot account, though the developers have not made clear what the rewards could entail.
