A dedicated League of Legends content creator has recently brought to light a fascinating piece of the game’s developmental history: its original investor pitch. This significant discovery offers a rare glimpse into the early vision for the popular MOBA, dating back to a time when it was known by the entirely different title, “Onslaught: War of the Immortals.” Such foundational documents often reveal how much a project can evolve from its initial concept.

The unearthed pitch details several striking differences from the League of Legends players know today. Early concepts suggest the game might have been developed as a 6v6 experience, a contrast to its eventual 5v5 format. Character designs also appear to have evolved significantly, with the champion Sion notably depicted with a beard in these initial stages. Furthermore, the original narrative for “Onslaught” seemingly revolved around a central antagonist figure possessing dark, apocalyptic characteristics, indicating a much grittier thematic direction for the game’s core story.

This historical find provides a compelling look at the foundational ideas behind one of the world’s most popular games, illustrating just how much a title can change during its development cycle. This information is based on recent reporting by PCGamer.
