Whether you’re buying a gift for the avid LoL player in your life or treating yourself to celebrate your promotion out of Bronze, you’ve come to the right place. Below, I’ll share some of the best gift ideas for League of Legends players.
I’ve included a range to accommodate various preferences and budgets. From adorable plush toys to esports gear that’ll level up your gameplay, you’re sure to find a gift idea that’s worth the splurge. So, get your wallet at the ready and let’s dive in!
Look. There’s no denying that Poros are the most adorable creatures in the whole darn game (sorry Shelly). It would be blasphemous not to feature them here. While you can easily find Poro-themed apparel and peripherals online — and those are definitely great gifts too — I feel a Poro plush trumps ‘em all. The gift is adorable and will keep you (or your partner) snug after a long ranked grind.
The official Riot Games store sells a variety of LoL merch, so it’s definitely worth a browse! Many of the items can make excellent gifts and are perfect for diehard collectors. You can splurge on a figure of your OTP champion, update your wardrobe with a Lil’ Devil Teemo tee, or decorate your home with some eye-catching game artwork.
And if you want a hilarious gag gift? Feel free to splurge on the Beemo Onesie. It’s pure comedy genius.
FYI, you don’t just have the option of giving your friend an IRL gift. League of Legends has a virtual gifting center that allows you to send your friends RP, Summoner Icons, Hextech Chests, Champion Skins, Ward Skins, and a whole lot more.
Be mindful that to access the in-game gift store, you’ll need to have a Riot Games account. You also need the gift recipient’s account added to your friend's list.
Here’s how to access the in-game store:
Don’t have a Riot Games account but still want to give your friend a virtual gift? Then you can’t go wrong with a prepaid RP Gift card. They come in 4 amounts — $10, $25, $50, or $100 — and can be purchased directly from Amazon or other major retailers like Walmart Target, and GameStop.
LoL-themed board games will let you and your friends experience all the Rift has to offer in a way that’s… slightly more socially acceptable. Plus, it’s a great way to get that friend who has been vehemently opposed to installing League hooked on the Riot universe.
There are plenty of solid options out there, but my personal favorite is King’s Gambit — it’s all about strategy and puts your poker face to the ultimate test!
Buying a gift for a gamer who already has everything? Get creative by purchasing some swanky LoL-themed keycaps. They’re practical and stylish, and you can find them in a wide array of styles, so you’re sure to find something that suits your friend’s setup.
The ranked climb is grueling — and not just on your mind. It can have a serious toll on your body and leave you with poor posture, aches, and sores. So, why not pamper your friend (or yourself) with an ergonomic gaming chair? While expensive, it’s well worth the investment; it’ll ensure you’re comfortable and can unleash your full potential!
The “best” gaming chair will ultimately depend on preferences and factors like your budget, but be sure to check out Noblechairs, who have a great collection.
Let’s be real: Runeterra is packed full of gripping tales, fascinating regions, and interesting characters — just look at what a success Arcane is! If your friend is a sucker for lore, then the Realms of Runeterra lore book will make an excellent gift. Each page is packed with gorgeous artwork and will take them on an adventure throughout the Runeterra universe.
Feeling generous? Then consider upgrading your friend’s keyboard and mouse. They’re sure to appreciate it, especially if their current peripherals are clunky and slowing them down in their ranked games.
There are a few factors to consider when investing in peripherals. For a keyboard, you’ll want to mainly look at build quality, switch style, and size layout, while for a mouse you need to consider factors like size, weight, grip style, and DPI.
It’s best to sneakily ask your friend questions about their current peripherals before purchasing. This will give you better insight into the style they prefer.
I mean, we can’t not toot our own horn, right? Honor your love for esports (and hopefully us!), with some Dignitas-themed merch.
Our store has something for everyone, from ergonomic gamer gloves that’ll ensure you never miss your aim (well.. probably) to large desk mats to keep wrist aches at bay. You can even channel your inner Challenger with a Dignitas Pro Jersey.
No matter who you’re buying the gift for, our list has hopefully given you some great gift ideas (or at least got your inspiration flowing).
