Wild Rift fans are curious about why Jinx is always the only champion featured in these graffiti artworks. Perhaps it’s a reference to Jinx’s lore where she always makes herself known to everyone in her city by writing her name in graffiti that glows in the dark. There are a lot of posts and discussions about this in Wild Rift gaming communities. Some players say that they need more of these advertisements because it looks amazing.
Marketing ideas like these are not only good at promoting the game, but also showing what talented artists can do if given enough resources to work their magic. Riot Games have got their game advertised while pedestrians also get eye candy visuals to look at.
