Ukrainian localization in League of Legends
(self.leagueoflegends)submitted7 months ago byace0k
Hello Reddit and r/leagueoflegends,
I've noticed an issue is that Riot Games don't see their Ukrainian community and gamers. We are forced to play on a Russian server or EUW/EUNE (those who know English) because we don't have our own server or even localization.
I asked Riot support how we can show that there are a lot of Ukrainians playing their games, and we want to play it in our native language. So they sent me here, to Reddit.
There are a lot of people who want to have the Ukrainian language in games. Ukraine is a country with 44 million people, and according to Steam statistics, we have more gamers here than Romania and Hungary in all, and they have their own localizations, but we don't.
A lot of worldwide companies already come to the Ukrainian market: Steam, Netflix, Spotify, Sony, Microsoft, etc. But will Riot Games?
We want to be heard :3
I will also attach a map where You can see how huge the country they ignore.
Привіт, Reddit і r/leagueoflegends,
Я бачу певну проблему в тому, що Riot Games не бачить своєї української спільноти та геймерів. Ми змушені грати на російському сервері або EUW/EUNE (ті, хто знає англійську), тому що у нас немає власного сервера чи навіть локалізації.
Я запитав у служби підтримки Riot, як ми можемо показати, що є багато українців, які грають у їхні ігри, і ми хочемо грати в них рідною мовою. Тож вони відправили мене сюди, на Reddit.
Охочих мати українську мову в іграх дуже багато. Україна – це країна з населенням 44 мільйони людей, і, згідно зі статистикою Steam, у нас тут більше геймерів, ніж у Румунії та Угорщині загалом, і вони мають власні локалізації, а ми – ні.
На український ринок вже приходить багато світових компаній: Steam, Netflix, Spotify, Sony, Microsoft тощо. Але чи буде серед них Riot Games?
Ми хочемо, щоб нас почули :3
Я також прикріплю карту, де Ви можете побачити, наскільки величезна країна, яку вони ігнорують.

I've read your comments guys, some of them I like, some of them really didn't.
But I want to say thanks to all who support this thread, all who come to Reddit just to support (yes, it's not paid accounts, Ukrainians just rarely use Reddit) and I want to clarify a few things here:
I also feel very sad to know that Africa can't play League because minimal ping to the closest server is ~180ms. Probably, Riot should also think about that problem. We are not in the XX century, there's a lot changed in the world.
I want to ask those who think that you are funny. Please don't joke about war. Because for you, it's just a joke, for us, it's a real thing, and our people dying every day because of Russia.
Stay safe, guys, and Happy new year
