 This diary first appeared in PC Gamer magazine issue 378 in December 2022. We do one every month, taking on new challenges and approaching our favourite games from entirely new angles—and letting you know how we got on. 

After 11 years, League of Legends is anything but stale. Strategies shift and evolve with new characters, new features, and a community full of prolific theory-crafters. But after all that time, most players have found a groove, sticking to a handful of comfort zone champions in a way that makes it harder to keep things feeling fresh. 

Last year, however, the game’s developers cooked up a means to try to break players out of their ruts. Challenges are League of Legends’ take on achievements, rewarding players for anything from scoring kills to buying skins. Hidden within them are the ‘Globetrotter’ challenges—and our aim is to complete all 13 of them.
