Harry Styles vs. League of Legends: The weirdest modern fan war

by

I never expected to see Harry Styles fans battling it out with League of Legends players, but it was a surprisingly amusing turn of events.

Fan disagreements typically happen between supporters of pop stars or sports teams, but lately, Harry Styles fans are unexpectedly clashing with the League of Legends gaming community. What sparked this unusual feud? Let’s explore this strange fan war, which is already providing some entertaining moments leading up to the 2026 season.

Harry Styles vs. League of Legends

Let me give you some background before we get into why people are excited. Harry Styles is releasing his fourth solo album, titled “Kiss All the Time, Disco, Occasionally,” in 2026. Before the official announcement, posters started appearing in cities hinting at his return, using the phrase “We Belong Together” to promote the new album.

In New York City, a large poster was unexpectedly covered with advertisements for the 2026 League of Legends season, which upset Harry Styles fans. A TikTok video showed fans trying to uncover the original poster, documenting their frustration.

The situation became so well-known that even people at Riot Games started making light of it. Drew Levin, for example, jokingly referred to it as a continuing rivalry between fans of Harry Styles and fans of the League of Legends city, Demacia. Many online commenters described it as a one-sided conflict, pointing out that League of Legends players weren’t interested in the posters at the center of the issue.
