A fan war between Harry Styles stans and League of Legends wasn’t on my 2026 bingo card, but it made for a funny twist.

Fan wars usually mean pop stars or football teams, not Harry Styles with League of Legends (LoL). So why are Styles fans beefing with the game? Let’s dive into one of the weirdest modern fan wars, which has already given us plenty of fun content for the 2026 season.

Harry Styles vs. League of Legends

Before going into the fight's motive, it is important to give you some context. In 2026, Harry Styles will be releasing his fourth solo album, "Kiss All the Time, Disco, Occasionally." But before revealing it to the public, some posters appeared in various cities promoting his comeback. “We Belong Together” was the promotional slogan for the new album.

However, in New York City, this big poster ended up being covered with the League of Legends promotions of the 2026 season, and the Harry Styles fans were not happy with it. A young girl on TikTok posted a video showing the posters covered and the fans' efforts to remove them.

It reached a point where even Riot Games officials started to make jokes about the topic. Drew Levin was one of them, describing it as the "ongoing gang war between Harry Styles fans and Demacia fans." Some people online even called it a "one-sided beef" with League of Legends since the game's fan base does not care about the posters.
