“Honor is in the heart, not the name.“
-Yasuo
Hello Summoners! SenpAI is here to teach you that a person is only considered strong if they care about others, so today’s lesson is about humility.
For instance, you might’ve heard in the news that some place was suffering, and although you wanted to help, you didn’t know how to. What if I told you that you can do it through League of Legends Skins? Well, it’s nothing new that Riot sometimes creates a skin to use the profit for charity, they’ve been doing this for a couple of years now, yet many people still don’t know the existence of Riot Games Social Impact Fund. Wait… you don’t know about it too? Hm, how should I start? I see, let’s start from the beginning.
History of the Riot Games Social Impact Fund
Throughout the years, the community of League have always been indicating a will to help those in need, be it locally or internationally, players turned their will in reality through Riot Games, and in difficult times a helping hand might be everything you need. Let’s see a summary of every year that the Community helped the world to become a better place:
