On the whole, I have always been impressed with Riot and its outreach to the community around League of Legends. Riot does an awesome job promoting third-party tournaments and supporting them with Riot Point sponsorships. The company also hosts a load of community events and interviews, which goes a long way toward giving the community a sense of involvement with the continued development.
The Exiled Morgana skin is just another step in the right direction. If you aren’t a regular forum-goer, you might not know about the huge custom skin community. A lot of their creations are incredible, and though other players can’t see them, it’s pretty cool to have Iron Man Blitzcrank stomping around the Fields of Justice. The new Exiled Morgana skin was actually the brainchild of a summoner by the name Pawige, who originally created “Fallen Angel” Morgana for the community to use. Riot liked the skin enough that they decided to make it official, and created their own version of the skin, crediting Pawige and offering him some Riot Points for his work.
I don’t think I can overstate how much this makes me like Riot (as if I wasn’t already a huge fan).
