What is League of Legends about?

The game takes place on Runeterra, a planet shaped by the remnants of an ancient conflict between cosmic forces. Originally, players were cast as "Summoners" commanding champions on the Fields of Justice, but in 2014 the lore was rebooted, removing summoners entirely and establishing Runeterra as a standalone world. The setting spans diverse regions, from the technologically advanced city of Piltover to the oppressed underground of Zaun, and encompasses genres ranging from Lovecraftian horror to traditional sword and sorcery. While the game itself has no linear campaign, its expanding universe of champions, factions, and conflicts forms the foundation for spin-off media including the animated series Arcane, comics, and narrative-driven spin-off games.

Should I stream League of Legends on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 206 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. League of Legends has 535 streamers live, so you would open around #497 of 536 — far enough down the category that almost nobody browsing it would scroll to you, however many viewers it has.

About 18,876 of the 28,719 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 112 each if you split it with the 168 other English streams below them. You would start around #497, too far down for anyone browsing to find you.

Only 28,719 of the 110,115 viewers here (26%) are watching in English. 170 of the 535 live streams are in English.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.
