Welcome to Critical Hit, where I (or someone else on the PC Gamer team) celebrate and lament all things videogame music, audio design, and the ways our favourite games make our ears tingle.
Despite my experience with League of Legends (the videogame) being incredibly minimal, I've spent years in admiration and awe at League of Legends (the music). Riot has found a real knack for taking its champs and turning them into bona fide popstars, rockstars, and hip-hop stars—bringing in talented and well-established artists across the globe and carving out a space in the mainstream music world with certified bangers fronted by fictional characters.
