Typically when companies are planning new products, one of the first things they’d do is register a ton of domain names – after all, nothing can suck more than when the perfect domain name is taken and the owner who’s doing nothing with it wants $100,000 for it.
So, when an internet brand protection company like Markmonitor purchases a slew of domain names that hints at a League of Legends expansion or at least something League of Legends related, you’d want to pay attention. Especially since Markmonitor is the primary domain manager for Riot Games, along with a lot of other popular and well known companies such as Time Warner, Levi Strauss, and Nokia.
Beginning on 04/17/2012, Markmonitor purchased 15 (or possibly more) domains that consist of names like lolsupremecy.com, leagueoflegendssupremacy.com, leagueoflegendssupremacy.net, supremacy.com, supremacy.net, and much more. They’ve also purchased various type-o’s editions of those domains as well.
While not definitive, this this would suggest that Riot is planning on releasing new League of Legends content – whether it be a game mode, map, or even a whole new game. Previously with League of Legends Dominion, Markmonitor purchased domains for it 5 months prior to its release, so our best guess is that Supremacy will be announced around late June or early August.
