Summoners!

We've put a lot of hard work into developing our upcoming game mode - League of Legends: Dominion . Our artists and sound designers have gone to the well to bring you a Field of Justice that really captures the fast-paced, dynamic gameplay of our new capture-and-hold game mode.

Unlike the mirrored design of Summoner's Rift, Crystal Scar features five capture points for players to capture and control, each with its own unique landmarks and style. We've also taken the overall environment detail to the next level, helping to create a greater sense of depth than we've ever attempted in the past. Combined with ambitious new particles, animations and brand new music that changes based on how your team is performing against your opponents, Crystal Scar is sure to provide a compelling new setting for the fast-paced, visceral combat in store for this coming update to League of Legends.

Here's an inside look at the construction of this brand new Field of Justice, and be sure to listen close for a sneak peek at the new music. Watch as some of Riot's gifted artists verbally illustrate what goes into building a new battlefield for the League of Legends: Dominion game mode!

It’s been really busy here at Riot Games lately, with E3 having just passed and the Season One Championship on the horizon. And after enough graveyard shifts, it can be easy to feel buried in work. Which is why, on days like today when you’re feeling really in the hole, it’s important to have a good team to back you up. Luckily for us, our very own Wes Keil is always ready to help us dig deep and finish strong.

Please enjoy this high speed rendition of Wes as he lays the splash art for Yorick, the Gravedigger, to rest.

There are some rare artisans who can truly bridge the gap between art and engineering. It is this rare breed of genius that has brought us some of the most fascinating masterpieces on record, such as the Mona Lisa and the Pyramids. And as long as we’re on the subject of genius, our very own Wes Keil is here to reinforce that a great artist isn’t just another cog in the machine!
