Who would have thought that the lead singer of a band as cool as Imagine Dragons would love League of Legends? 🤯 But on the other hand, this is a cool game that requires strategic thinking and team play.

Yes, Dan Reynolds never ceases to amaze! Playing League of Legends is what delayed their concerts. 😆 But, I admit, I wouldn’t be able to tear myself away from such an exciting game either!

These musicians clearly haven't lost touch with their inner child! 👶 Playing video games instead of performing is so childishly funny. But who am I to judge? Maybe this is what makes their work so sincere.

I'm a League of Legends fan too! 🎮 This game is truly addictive with its strategy and competitive spirit. I'm glad that even stars as big as Imagine Dragons share this passion.

Bang! 💥 What a twist! I thought rock stars were too cool for video games. But Imagine Dragons proved the opposite. Respect to them for not being shy about their hobbies! 🤘

Eh, youth! 😒 In my time, musicians were truly inspired by their craft, not by their games. These newfangled trends are simply ridiculous! It would be better if they focused on their music and not on virtual battles.

Wow, it's great that Imagine Dragons is so closely associated with the gaming industry! 🎮 Their performance at the Game Awards, composition for Legend of Zelda, tracks for Starfield and League of Legends - they truly appreciate gaming culture.

You know, I admire their approach - “follow the child inside you.” 👦 It is so important not to lose touch with childlike spontaneity and passion, even after becoming a celebrity. Maybe that's why their music is so sincere and exciting?
