A Korean commercial showcases the beautiful experiences in League of Legends – while somehow forgetting that the medal has two sides as well.

Anyone who has spent some rounds in League of Legends, the currently undisputed market leader of MOBAs, knows how things can get there. Nothing is more satisfying than finally destroying the opponent’s core after a long match and having shown the enemy team their limits with teamwork, diligence, and skill. And exactly these beautiful experiences are highlighted in the Korean commercial. In comic-like drawings, the successes and moments of happiness are portrayed, highlighting sportsmanship and focusing on the nice aspects of the game.
However, reality looks a bit different. LoL still has an incredibly bad reputation regarding the community. While Riot takes numerous measures to rein in unfriendly players, the number of gamers who have turned their backs on the game due to the toxic behavior of some teammates remains high (and I bet each of you has at least one of those in your circle of friends).
Nonetheless, it is a nice commercial that diverts attention from the negative news that occasionally pops up.
