That's just the beginning, though. Unlike LoL, where matches can last up to an hour (or more), Wild Rift aims to cut down a lot of complexity and bloat for matches that maybe last 20 minutes.

Sometimes it's the children themselves that need reminding: "You don't need books with pictures in- remember?"
