League of Legends has added a new Showdown mode for 1v1 and 2v2 clashes, available until January 2nd, as part of their Snowdown winter celebrations.
Developers Riot Games also released a trailer featuring some small-scale smackdowns.
So now when someone tells you you’re rubbish and that he could wipe the floor with you one-on-one, he has an actual arena to do it in. Brilliant!
From the game’s website:
Showdown is live! Queue up for 1v1 and 2v2 duels on Howling Abyss. With three ways to claim victory, it’s up to you to decide how you’ll defeat your opponents. You can score first blood (or two kills in 2v2 mode), waveclear your way to 100 CS, or demolish the enemy turret before they take down yours.
Showdown’s available from December 19 through January 2, so head to the Howling Abyss to show off your dueling skills and duo-ing prowess now!
