Riot Games Recieves Backlash from Content Creators After Disappointing Season 13 Cinematic
Riot Games just released their League of Legends Season Cinematic for 2023, and fans were highly disappointed with what they saw. Now players, content creators, and even LoL casters have shared their unhappiness as well.
