Beyond disappointed to hear Larian is using genAI, it really feels like a huge betrayal after BG3 won GOTY and their speech about creative respect.

I do not really play Riot's games but something I really enjoy about 2XKO is that the team is very obviously of the culture and FGC. It truly feels like a grassroots game that just happens to be attached to League of Legends.
