LilNasX releases new song for the upcoming league of legends world championship and it's ... shit as might be expected - he's seething about the reaction of the community on twitter

Riot started the campaign by introducing LilNasX as the new president of League to hype up the new song:

This was... a little boring tbh.

Yeah, pretty underwhelming. Also I don't feel the energy, so I don't see it grow on me like Worlds Collide or Pheonix after hearing it 20 times. I feel like they could've mixed it better to feel more hype. They have the possibility of carrying that chorus, it has some good vibes.

Didn't feel the hype.

Holy, the video feels so soulless. It's lacking in so many ways. [...]

The overall sentiment seems to be the following - it's a decent (although generic) song that lacks the necessary hype previous songs composed for the event created. The entire thread and mostly the entire league community agrees on this.

Further threads about the song:

Star Walkin' is actually completely revolutionary

A quick fix to the 2022 Anthem so you can hype once again

A couple of people have made the meme to listen to the song at 1,25 speed so it becomes better:

Which of course is quite memeable:

Guys put the Worlds Song at 2x speed trust me.

It still sucks but at least its over faster

However, LilNasX doesn't like what the league community is doing to him at all and seethes about it - on tiktok and twitter pretending to play along with the meme :

if you don’t like star walkin try listening to it at 1.25x speed, with an octave up, and drums filtered, on an nintendo 3ds, at 3am, while your parents are arguing in the background because things just keep getting worse and you say it’s not your fault but you know it is and you
