Sometimes it's good to be forced out of your gaming comfort zone.
This diary first appeared in PC Gamer magazine issue 378 in December 2022. We do one every month, taking on new challenges and approaching our favourite games from entirely new angles—and letting you know how we got on.
The rules are mostly predetermined by the challenges themselves. First, we have to play as a group of five. That shouldn't be difficult, but as my group of gaming buddies gets older, real life is starting to make it a little harder to pull the whole gang together. Traditionally, the League of Legends meta is fairly rigid; some kind of fighter usually dwells in the topmost of the game's three 'lanes'; a mage occupies the middle; the bottom lane is shared between a ranged DPS and a support . The team is rounded out by a floating 'jungler', a much more flexible role that helps provide what your team might be lacking. For Bandle City, however, we throw the meta out the window.
That's where our third rule comes into play. To dial up the challenge, we can't move to a new region until we win. Assuming a traditional 50/50 win/loss ratio, that would be tricky, but we're using slapdash teams with champions we don't often play. Playing a champion for the first time is known to drop your win rate by 10% or more. The stats don't mention what to expect if an entire team is experimenting with something new.
Three more regions completed, we moved on to Targon. One of the more difficult propositions, its only-eight-strong roster is filled with three supports and three of the game's most notoriously tricky champions. Avoiding those seemed key to success, so we opted instead for a stun-heavy composition that was easy to play but would eventually cease to function against the enemy's late-game team.
