RAZER LAUNCHES LEAGUE
OF LEGENDS SCOUTER FOR RAZER COMMS

New Razer Comms add-on brings detailed
in-game player information and crystal-clear voice chat to League of Legends

CARLSBAD, Calif. – Razer™, a world leader in connected
devices and software for gamers, has announced the launch of League of Legends
(LoL) Scouter, the VoIP messenger add-on for the popular multiplayer online
battle arena (MOBA) video game. The latest version of the software has a new
URL feature that provides Razer Comms users with an alternative method to
invite teammates into calls. The update was redesigned in line with LoL
developer Riot’s third-party app guidelines and was available on June 30.

LoL Scouter enables
communication via voice chat for match-made teams and gives detailed
information about opponent skill levels to players of LoL, which has 70 million
monthly active players worldwide.

Enabling
voice chat in LoL coordinates teamwork and communication when paired up with
friends or even strangers. Players will be able to join the ad-hoc voice call by
pasting the URL link into their LoL Scouter window. The quick and easy voice
chat linking can make the difference between winning and losing on the
Summoner’s Rift.

On top of
the voice chat capabilities, the full list of LoL Scouter features will include
the following information for both teammates and opponents:

“When a game is so good that more than nearly 30
million people log-on to it daily, enhancing Razer Comms to give players an
advantage over opponents was something that we were excited to tackle,” says
Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO. “With Razer Comms LoL Scouter, teams
can now quickly invite teammates into their VoIP channel, which adds new
dimension to the concept of ‘teamwork’ in-game. Additionally, critical
information about opponent experience and history provided by LoL Scouter helps
users make quicker, more informed tactical decisions before engaging with the
enemy. Considering that communication, resource management and timing are
everything in League of Legends, those are some serious benefits.”
