I'll admit I've never been a fan of League of Legends. I gave it the old college try after a group of friends convinced me to play about six years ago, but that's as far as my experience goes. My partner on the other hand is an avid fan. Having spent over a decade playing, with his first ranked season being season two, he's been trying to get me back in the saddle to no avail—until now. But that's thanks to its new game mode and my partner convincing me it's pretty much Vampire Survivors.
Swarm, the game mode in question, has you facing a constant onslaught of enemies with auto-firing weapons and seeing how long you can survive. As you take down enemies, you'll earn power-ups which you'll need for when a boss rears its head to shake things up. If you've played any amount of Vampire Survivors, you'll instantly note the similarities between the two. It's the exact same formula with a League of Legends reskin. From an outsider's perspective, Swarm also looks like a breath of fresh air compared to the hellscape of ranked matches.
