League of Legends/Trivia


  • Banned in China: Similar to the issue with the Forsaken in World of Warcraft, Karthus was redesigned from a skull-faced lich to a withered, shadow-wrapped figure for the Chinese art, due to taboos about representations of skeletons in media.
  • Development Gag: According to Phreak, Swain's ability that ensnares enemies with raven claws was supposed to be called Nevermore. Developers called it Nevermove and forgot to correct the name before launch.
  • Dueling Games: With Demigod, Heroes of Newerth and, of course, Defense of the Ancients. Heroes of Newerth unquestionably the most.
  • Fan Nickname: Numerous.
    • All champions with more than five symbols in their names have shorter nicknames for typing. Usually just first letters of the name, but any short name that clearly identifies the champion in question will do. Veigar is sometimes called Vivi, Gangplank is Pirate, and Alistar is Cow.
    • Certain champs get their perceived overpoweredness reflected with a spin on their name. For example, Win Nao the Senechal of Demacia, Free Win the Blind Monk, Gankplank and Feed-lesticks.
    • Second accounts are called "smurfs" (more or less officially, as Pendragon himself has one and calls it a smurf too).
      • This one extends outside of LoL.
    • Ezreal is sometimes called 'EZ-Real'.
    • A Yordle support? Suppordle.
    • Master Yi's sword (in the Chosen Yi skin) is referred to as "popsicle". He is also called "Master Right Click".
    • Swain's Decrepify skill is usually referred as Lazer Bird.
  • Flip-Flop of God:
    • Karma's Sakura skin was originally referred to alternately as either "Sakura" or "Lotus" in different parts of the game until Riot settled on "Sakura".
    • Nunu's a boy. No, a girl. No, a boy!
  • Hey, It's That Voice!:
    • Some players have noted Garen's English voice sounds just like the English voice for Iron Tager. Or Algol.
    • Faye seems to have put on some clothes for once, or perhaps Xianghua got tired of having to block with her sword.
    • It would seem Noel is no longer using dual guns.
    • Rumble sounds like Billy and Daggett.
  • Jossed: Popular fan theory that Lee Sin's been remade into another, already released champion.
  • Name's the Same:
    • Ahri's passive, Essense Theft, was originally called Soul Eater... the same as Nasus'. The community wasted no time in pointing this out to the devs.

Ezreal: Whoops
