Legends of Runeterra has been nominated in The Game Awards!

Our favourite free-to-play friendly card slinger is up for the title of "Best Mobile Game" and it needs our help to secure the win!

  • Login with Twitter, Facebook, or Google to participate in voting.
  • Find the "Best Mobile Game" category and vote for Legends of Runeterra.

As you can see, we're up in a very difficult category with the continued popularity of games like Among Us, and the recently launched and highly successful Genshin Impact. The winners will end up being selected through a blended vote (90% jury, 10% public fan voting) so any bit of extra push from us can help Runeterra.

The Game Awards show takes place on December 10 at 7 pm ET / 4 pm PT / 12 am CET.

HOW ARE NOMINEES SELECTED FOR THE GAME AWARDS?

Nominees for most categories of The Game Awards are chosen by an international jury of over 95 global media and influencer outlets, selected for their history of critical evaluation of video games. The full list of outlets is available here.

Specialized juries also convene for other categories including esports and accessibility.

Each voting outlet completes a confidential, unranked ballot based on the collective and diverse opinion of its entire editorial staff, listing out its top five choices in each category.

Ballots are tabulated, and the five games that appear on the most ballots are put forth as nominees. In the event of a tie, six (or more) nominees will be announced in a category.

Game Awards producer Geoff Keighley is not a member of the jury and does not vote on the nominees or winners.

WHY DO YOU USE THIS JURY TO SELECT THE NOMINEES?

Given the sheer number of games released each year, as well as the extended time required to fully evaluate products, a “voting outlet” approach allows for the widest possible critical assessment. A ballot submitted to The Game Awards represents the collective opinion of an entire outlet, not one individual’s point of view.

WHO SELECTS THE WINNERS?

Winners are determined by a blended vote between the voting jury (90%) and public fan voting (10%). Fans can vote for their favorite games on TheGameAwards.com and also via social media platforms in select categories. In China fans can vote on the winners via Bilibili. Fan voting closes on Wednesday, December 9 at 6 pm PT.

WHY DON’T FANS COMPLETELY CHOSE THE WINNERS?

Creating a 100% fan vote presents several challenges. First, given that some games are exclusive to one platform, a public vote puts single-platform games at an inherent disadvantage over multi-platform titles. In addition, it is important that winners cannot be “socially engineered” in any way. We find that a blended vote is the most credible and authentic way to select winners.
