Necrit is the reason swarm exists. This is completely true.

[kuufromspace]

my favourite things in swarm has been the fact that even i noticed theyve used things like, (in addition to tibbers) pix, belveths maggoty babies, jungle creeps, etc, as the bases. and it works so bloody well

Seeing all of this developpment is really heartwarming...
It's kind of weird but seeing a passion project becoming an anctual mod in league is making me emotional

[SteveArxx]

Halloween version would be so good with that zed shadow and redlight green light

[iiCassie-uoxb]

i really hope that zed mechanic comes in some time its super cool! I think swarm has the potential to stay around like TFT and just get reskinned / stat reset with new bosses and playable characters / builds. Changing that up every few months would do well and I honestly think people would pay to play old characters in whichever the current swarm was just as the purchasable fund sink that riot requires everything to have.

i was just watching a Swarm vid, then I went to the home page to find this uploaded 1 minute ago

This is the most fun and refreshing event I've experienced since Ascension and Dark Star game modes. Actually, I hope to have Swarm return at Harrowing, Christmas, Lunar Revel or even April Fools events. Literally any theme can fit with the right champs and items. Bilgewater, Piltover, Freljord, Shadow Isles, you name it.

That explains why i saw a Garen in Swarm during PBE 3:41 😂

This was beautiful, as an ex graphic designer, watching something blocky become something so detailed through a time lapse sparks JOY 🤩

[Rjayyy]

9:30 nobody going to mention that necrit forgot about one of the most annoying enemies in swarm being the totally not suicidal bombs that deal way too much damage?

[vladislavkaras]

A somewhat indie project in Riot company :D
Great respect to the Sirhaian for both the mod and for the documenting everything!
Thanks for the video!

[Urfcannon]

funny how you can play an entire game of swarm while this video plays in the background

[itssammeh]

I am literally heartbroken that swarm is gone now. That small game mode had a mighty impact!

[ridori]

ARES!!! GIVE ME A SWARM VOID EVENT AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!

[sneakydaddyman]

Crazy that passions projects are some of the most successful games/gamemodes. Riot will 100% learn something from this!!

[thejoe]

Remember when Necrit was puffing a lot of copium during the Star Guardian Event? 😂 It all paid off buddy, it all paid off. 😂

[JJBeauregard]

What's most important to me is that it's finally a game mode that's not PvP. I love League's universe but its "competitive" community, not so much.

[igorporfiirio]

They could do an entire nocturne game mode based on that shadow mechanic.
