VIDEO: the Chinese nicknames for almost every League of Legends champion, translated

League of Legends is the most popular PC game in China. And while League‘s 118 champions have official, transliterated Chinese names, those names are just a series of quasi-random Chinese sounds that are similar to the champions’ English names. That makes them difficult to remember. So instead of using the official names, Chinese LoL players tend to refer to champions by unofficial, community-generated nicknames.

Some of them are funny, some of them are obvious, and a few of them are somewhat offensive. Check out what your favorite champions are nicknamed in Chinese.
