But no pool party, at least not now. Instead of the announced summer event, there is currently the High Noon 2020 event in League of Legends. Here you can get the two promised skins and complete some missions to get rewards.

“Ouuuuu Ouuuuu…”, that’s how the wolf is howling at the moon in League of Legends right now. Because the High Noon 2020 event has started and offers all kinds of romantic Western atmosphere. Whether you ride with Senna on her undead horse through the LoL prairie, or rain knives on her opponents with Irelia – the event has one thing above all: Wild Wild West Feeling!

High Noon Senna and Irelia Skins

Do we hear a saloon door creak open? The swirling of dust in the desolate steppes? And then Senna breaks the supposed silence, with her glowing gun hands she sets off in search of prey… The best way to do this is on a western horse, which also looks undead scary. If that’s not scary. Irelia is also glowing, probably also with gold fever – only differently than back then in the Wild West… With her High Noon skin, she can make any opponent scared and anxious.

So for High Noon 2020, Irelia and Senna join the popular High Noon skin line – the former with a matching mount, the latter with a special Legendary skin that matches her partner Lucian. If you love these skins, you should also check out the store, right now the other High Noon skins are on sale: from June 16 to 23, the Darius, Hecarim, Jhin, Thresh, and Urgot skins are 50% off.

Is there a High Noon Battle Pass?

No. Unlike previous events of this type, anyone can participate without purchasing a Battle Pass. Points can be earned with special missions and eventually redeemed for High Noon rewards.

Champion skin

Champion skin (or skin for short) refers to the color scheme or appearance of a champion. Most champion skins can be purchased in the Riot Shop with Riot Points, while others are/were only available for special events/promotions. However, some selected chroma skins (color-changed skins)can be purchased at special events for Blue Essence. Some champion skins bring new particles for visual effects, quotes and sound effects. Each skin has its own splash art, which is displayed in the champion selection and loading screen. Since patch 7.16, the custom champion image is also matched to the skin in the game itself.

What is actually… “League of Legends”?

“League of Legends is one of the most successful esports titles in the world. But what is it actually about? And what makes the game so popular? An explanation for beginners.

What is League of Legends (“LoL”) about?

In a classic game of “League of Legends,” two teams each have five characters called champions, each with individual characteristics. The main goal of each team is to destroy the opponent’s Nexus (a main building). Before this can be attacked, however, several defenses must be torn down on at least one of the three central level routes (lanes). Similar to “Dota 2”, the heroes receive continuous support on their campaign from AI-controlled units called minions. They storm the battlefield at regular intervals and independently attack enemies or enemy buildings – but only on the three main paths of the map. Those who roam around in the surrounding jungle will have to do without minion help. As usual in the MOBA genre, the champions reach higher levels by collecting experience points. In the course of the match, they learn numerous new abilities. Provided they have enough gold, the player can also strengthen himself with new equipment. Each of the 141 hero characters that the player can currently choose from is assigned to one of six classes. Warriors can deal out a lot of damage, tanks take a lot of punishment, mages have powerful special abilities, and supporters can, among other things, replenish the mana energy of allies or heal their comrades-in-arms.
