WHO MADE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS!

[quote=XDotaIsBetterX]Can anyone tell me who Made or the creator of League of Legends is? Its not riot games..[/quote]

[quote=lifebaka]Actually, it is Riot Games. The basic chonology is: [list] [*]The original DotA map is made. [*]Guinsoo takes the original DotA versions and makes DotA Allstars, which I believe is still the reigning DotA franchise on WC3. [*]Some guys get the idea to make a stand-alone game that's the spiritual successor to DotA. [*]These guys get Guinsoo to join them and make Riot Games. [*]Riot makes LoL. [/list] I could get specific dates for a lot of these things, but the order is what's relevant here.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]One of the main devs is Icefrog. He also was one of the main devs on DotA as well.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Nice find :D[/quote]

[quote=xIchi]The only thing I head about RIOT and LoL is that LoL was bought by Riot for tons of money.[/quote]

[quote=Darcurse]You mean the name/abbreviation or sth. ? If you actually mean the game your source is quite off...[/quote]

[quote=Klausenheim]I think xIchi is referencing the company that bought Riot. IIRC They are owned by some Chinese company now? http://www.riotgames.com/company/investors Backed, not owned, but Tencent owns a majority stake. So they certainly aren't fully independent ala Valve.[/quote]
