During the Pre-Season, the replay system is set to be activated in League of Legends.
Fans have been waiting for years for a feature in the MOBA League of Legends that allows players to watch past matches again. A replay feature exists in many online games and is used by players to learn or showcase highlights. In the past, developers at Riot Games stated that League of Legends would not receive a replay system. This stance has since changed, and the developers announce that the replay system will be integrated into League of Legends during the Pre-Season.
This is how the replay system works in LoL
You can download the videos of your games and save them to your hard drive. There is also a “highlight” feature that allows you to capture specific moments from a game.
- You can download the replay of a game after its conclusion via the end-game display or afterwards through your match history.
- You can watch replays from the current patch with the new replay mode. The features in this mode are already known from the spectator mode.
- In the timeline, you can see special events like kills, destroyed towers or inhibitors, as well as kills of the dragon or the baron.
- Record clips of your highlights with the built-in recording feature.
- These highlights are saved on your hard drive as a .webm video file. These files can be opened in any browser that supports HTML5.
This is just the first excerpt of the replay system. In the coming months, developers plan to reveal more details about the functionality of this system.
