Centralizing the Conversation

Nexus means being at the center of it all. Paying homage to a central element in the game, we created the crystal logo to represent the multi-faceted and revealing nature of the blog.
We developed a content system that would allow for special posts to be pinned to the top to highlight an article, while the cascading tiles filter in chronological order.
The bottom nav is full of useful tools: a built-in toggle lets users chose to view the blog in dark or light settings.
And we give fans immediate access to Rioters with a specially developed Q&A forum called "Ask Riot".
Staggeringly Good Engagement
Our infinite scroll keeps the reader on-page for the next article while a clever CSS animation indicates the type of article.
