"Chronoshift" was a fan project made in 2020 to capture the old-school magic of "League of Legends." Developers used emulation techniques to create an experience with older graphics, outdated maps that haven't been seen in the game in years, and 65 champions, compared to the 155 champions now available in the live game. From small balance changes to massive overhauls to how champions work, these hundreds of changes have fundamentally altered the feel of the title. Over the last 11 years, the game has drastically changed, with developer Riot Games adding new content, called "patches," every two to three weeks. "League of Legends" has been going strong since October 2009, putting players into the roles of champions with unique powers who fight an enemy base. Riot Games, the developer of the hit video game "League of Legends," has issued a legal request to cease development on "Chronoshift," a fan-made game.
