Sometimes, the best way to find out if something has an audience is just to put out what you have and see if people care. That’s sort of the approach that the
League of Legends team took with recent editorial content, posting articles about the behind-the-scenes elements of various design changes. The team is taking it to the next level with
the introduction of the Nexus, an entire site dedicated to exactly that sort of content.
The inaugural post covers the differences between casual and deeper design and how the team balances a need for both, while future articles will delve into different aspects of the design process. It’s not the site to visit if you need the latest news on what’s being changed in LoL, but it’s exactly the site to check if you want to understand why these changes are being made.
