Does the site provide real-time match scores and event schedules?
No. It publishes educational commentary and recommends checking current event details with official organizers.
How current are your guides?
Every article displays its editorial review date. Core concepts can remain useful for years, but balance, format, release, and event details should be verified through the linked official sources.
Do your writers test every game feature firsthand?
Not necessarily. Our launch material is primarily researched educational explanation and source verification, not a claim that every feature, hardware setup, or strategy was personally tested. See Testing Methodology for precise scope.
How do you check facts and sources?
We distinguish stable explanations from changing claims, prioritize relevant primary sources, compare statements for consistency, and clarify where verification is limited.
What happens when an article has an error?
We review credible correction requests, verify the disputed statement, update the article, and identify material corrections when appropriate.
Do you use AI-created illustrations?
Yes. The artwork in this edition is original concept imagery generated for this project. It is not official Riot Games art, and it does not reproduce game logos or character images.
Does the website use analytics or advertising trackers?
This release does not include analytics or advertising scripts. The local consent preference is stored; any future tracking tools will require appropriate disclosure and consent-aware implementation.
Can I change my cookie preferences?
Yes. Open Cookie settings through the site footer to reject or change optional preferences at any time.
