Champion Spotlight

The Champion spotlight was created by an intern at Riot Games named David "Phreak" Turley. It began as a short video and narration by Phreak in which he discusses and demonstrates skills, tactics, and strategies. The videos were well received by the community, and many players asked for more to be created.

He focuses on a single hero for each video, usually showing times where people are unusually likely to succeed or fail. He reviews each skill and the passive, demonstrates where they are useful, and why he uses them in the manner he displays. More recent videos usually include one of the character developers to explain more in-depth about how they designed the character to be used

While the videos have been an initial success, there has been come complaints about old videos kept on site or on youtube. Many of the characters reviewed by Phreak have undergone buffs, nerfs, or complete character overhauls. This makes some of the videos misleading as to the powers of the heroes.
