I find league of legends to be a really beautifully designed visual game, especially earlier versions of the game.

  • the game has a vibrant, cartoon-ish feel like distinct color-grading toward the middle of the screen to help orient the user and to help the user focus.
  • little easter eggs of detail that help complement and immerse the player but don’t distract against the more important details of gameplay
  • visually distinct abilities and colors to help users orient what is happening on the screen
