Every year I look back on this and I really do believe there's no way riot can ever top this. The production level, the amount of talented artists they had performing from a variety of genre's, the animation, lightning, the hype, it was all unmatched. Not to mention this year was on par with 2017 for the level of the songs. Rise, Legends never die, Phoenix & Giants are by far the best songs ever made by this company. I do hope that in the future they could top something as good as this, but I highly doubt it. Especially with the performances and production somehow declining each year. And so I'll come back every year to remember how truly special this ceremony was.
