New LOLPlay benchmark tests AI agents in League of Legends

A new benchmark called LOLPlay has been developed to evaluate real-time visual agents within the game League of Legends. The benchmark includes 36 champion-specific tasks focusing on resource management, combat, cooperation, and objectives. Initial evaluations using GPT-6 Astra showed that while it achieved a 25.0% task success rate at low and medium reasoning efforts, increasing the effort did not improve performance and could even reduce interaction time, suggesting a trade-off between reasoning depth and real-time responsiveness.
