Eric Trump Threatens to Primary Republicans Who Won’t Help His Dad Overthrow Election
couple of years ago, I decided to open Twitch and watch some professional League of Legends. I had never played the MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) but wanted to learn about the broader esports industry and suspected the experience would unearth a few interesting stories for Engadget. Fast-forward to 2020 and I’m a religious watcher of the game’s domestic leagues in the US, Europe, China and Korea. I’ve still never played League of Legends, though, because I don’t own a PC and prefer to keep my Mac video game-free. But that’s all changed with Wild Rift, a mobile-friendly port that’s currently being beta tested in select regions around the world, including Europe, Russia and the Middle East.
Before we go any further, I should probably explain how a game of League works. In each match, two teams of five fight across a map with three wide paths, known as lanes, and various jungle sections in between. One player traditionally goes to the top lane, while another walks down the middle path and a pair, called the support and ADC (Attack Damage Carry), take responsibility for the bottom route. The final player is a ‘jungler’ that roams the map and launches surprise attacks on enemy players. The goal is to destroy the opposing team’s towers, which line the three lanes, and then siege their base, which contains the game-winning nexus.

The original League of Legends demands a mouse and keyboard. In Wild Rift, though, everything is handled by touchscreen controls. (For now, there’s no option to play with a wireless controller.) Movement is handled with a digital nub on the bottom left corner of the screen. The opposite side, meanwhile, is littered with icons that let you launch basic attacks and a range of special abilities that differ depending on the character, or ‘champion,’ that you’ve chosen to play during the match.
I normally despise this kind of control scheme. They’re awkward, take up precious pixels, and easy to lose because there’s nothing physical — the edge of an analog stick, for instance, or the rounded surface of a face button — underneath your fingers. But to my great surprise, Wild Rift doesn’t have this problem. That’s partly because the action moves a little slower than the average third and first-person shooter. There’s no verticality, either. So unlike Fortnite, you don’t have to worry about timed jumps or constructing the perfect timber tower. The raised camera angle also makes it easier to prepare an ambush or plot a safe route through the game’s fictional arena.
Attacking is just as simple. Tapping the large button once will automatically target the nearest champion or, if multiple enemies are within range, the one with the lowest health. You can also select targets manually by dragging your thumb across the attack button. When you do this, the button becomes a digital nub that moves a yellow on-screen reticle. I expected this system, which exaggerates your thumb’s tiny movements, to be infuriating. After all, my hands are shaky enough when I’m using a mouse with low sensitivity.
But somehow it works. The reticule glides smoothly across the map and highlights whatever enemy is closest. That means you can release your thumb before the reticule is actually hovering over the desired target. It sounds small, but this system gives back a few precious seconds over the course of a 10 to 20-minute match.
Somehow it works.
There are times when you need more precision, though. You might be tackling a tower, for instance, and then find yourself swarmed by an enemy champion and computer-controlled minions, which you can quickly dispatch to level up and buy items that slowly make your character stronger. Fortunately, the attack button is flanked by two smaller buttons that force your champion to prioritize minions or turrets. They add to the game’s on-screen clutter but ensure that you’re never stuck targeting the wrong enemy type.

Managing abilities is a little more complicated. At the start of the game, you’re given a single skill point that unlocks one of three basic abilities. If you’re successful in combat, your champion will level up and slowly accrue more skill points, which can be spent on new abilities or improving ones you’ve already unlocked. A fourth ‘ultimate’ ability will also become available partway through the match. Some of these skills are passive and don’t require any digital button presses. Others fire in a straight line or deal damage to enemies standing inside a small area.
Complicated, for better and worse
And this is where Wild Rift gets complicated. To be successful, you have to memorize every ability and understand when it’s best to use them. Ahri’s Charm, for instance, deals a moderate amount of damage and forces the target to briefly walk towards you. It also makes them more vulnerable to Ahri’s other abilities for five seconds. Clearly, it works best as a ‘knock up’ before unleashing everything else in the champion’s arsenal. Other champions aren’t so straight forward, though. To master even a handful of characters, you’ll need to spend a bunch of time practicing in the game’s various training modes, which include a couple of co-op versus AI options.
On top of that, each champion has a couple of spells. Flash lets you teleport a short distance, for example, while Ignite burns your opponent for a short period, leaving them with wounds that make healing items and spells less effective.
Finally, there’s gold, which you earn by destroying towers and killing everything in your path, such as champions, minions and special monsters which include the Blue Sentinel and Red Brambleback. Every time you return to the fountain — a safe area tucked behind your base’s nexus — you can buy items from the shop. Wild Rift will present the items you can currently afford as small squares on screen. That means you can quickly mash through purchases before heading back out into the field. Alternatively, you can long-press on each of the items to see their exact benefits and, if you’re a beginner like me, immediately forget them and choose whatever is most expensive.
