As teased a couple of weeks ago, Riot Games will continue its tradition of celebrating diversity with new content coming to League of Legends and its various off-shoots as the company and game's celebrate Pride month.
This time, and with so many successful launches in the last year with titles like Valorant, Legends of Runeterra, and Teamfight Tactics, new cosmetics have arrived along with special quests to unlock everything we will see below for free.
League of Legends
Starting with their main game, players are now able to collect many rainbow poro icons representing the different identities from the LGBT+ communities, which will activate a limited-time homeguard trail featuring the colours of the chosen icon.
