“The Battle of Baron” will be a bit different from how players usually fight Nashor in the base game, League of Legends, and Wild Rift. In the latter, the joystick controls are used to kill it, but in the YouTube event, players will have to type [1], [2], [3], and [4] in the chat to cast abilities.

Riot will be implementing a system where the attack with the most number of votes will be the ones used, and Baron Nashor will also be responding to those attacks accordingly.

There will be an empowerment system for the abilities as well, and that can only be used if players on the live chat vote for it before time runs out.

The celebration will be starting on 10th December from 4 AM CT/3:30 PM IST onwards.
