League of Legends subreddit hits one million subscribers
The League of Legends subreddit has long been the center of the LoLcommunity. And on Monday, r/leagueoflegends hit one million subscribers.
With that landmark, it cements itself as the first game-specific subreddit to hit seven digits. Its one million subscribers makes it the 61st most popular section of Reddit, according to Reddit Metrics. Fittingly, it’s flanked by amateur pornography sub r/gonewild at 60th and marijuana sub r/trees at 62nd. (No, I will not be linking to those. I am a professional.)
The second most popular esports game subreddit is r/Overwatch, with over 850,000 subscribers. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive subreddit r/GlobalOffensive sits at just over 500,000 subs, r/hearthstone at 450,000, and r/Dota2 at 341,000.
