Discussion What happened to League Next?

0 Upvotes

Remember when those reports came out about "League Next" coming in 2027? At the time, it felt like Riot was slowing down regular content and saving everything for this huge engine overhaul.

​We were hoping for some kind of tease or update by now, but there's literally nothing. No dev blogs, no announcements, just total silence while the game feels like it's running on fumes.

​Did they quietly scrap it, delay it, or what? Has anyone heard anything about what's going on with this project?

Esports Double-elim tournaments should do Bo7 finals, where the upper bracket team starts with one win

0 Upvotes

Since there's no bracket reset, there is no advantage for the teams that go undefeated until finals. The lower bracket team, meanwhile, gets a free second chance. Adding an extra game would give the upper bracket team a decent advantage without requiring an extra scheduling day or a significant increase in streaming time.

Plus, game 6 fearless drafts would be insane.

Discussion Hit 30 last week and had my first genuine "my hands just can't do this anymore" moment

0 Upvotes

I used to laugh when people in this sub posted about their reflexes falling off a cliff with age, but holy hell, it finally happened to me.

I’ve played this damn game on and off since Season 3. Peaked around mid-Diamond back during college when I had zero responsibilities and could grind eight hours a night. Took a break, came back recently just to play some casual ranked, and decided to lock in Lee Sin like old times.

I literally knew exactly what play to make. My brain visualized the Ward-Hop InSec perfectly. But my fingers just… stuttered on the keys like an unplugged controller. I ended up warding empty dirt, flashing in place, and kicking teh enemy tank directly into my 15-kill ADC.

My midlaner didn't even flame me. He just typed: "bro are you okay?" That hurt worse than getting told to uninstall. i sat there staring at my screen realizing that whatever wiring used to connect my brain to my wrists is just gone. Is this the exact moment you swallow your pride and become a Malphite/Maokai main for the rest of your life, or do you just quit?

Discussion Without saying directly - what is the oldest thing / oldest item or patch that you can describe that you've played on league?

7 Upvotes

I'm relatively an oldhead in League but here are some funny things I've been able to witness myself:

  1. I witnessed the old Brand icon
  2. I witnessed the release of Thresh - he was the recently released champion when I started playing.
  3. I remember playing with old Sivir
  4. I was able to play the version of Mordekaiser with a diff. Icon
  5. I actually played the game before the white camp was introduced
  6. I played at a time where there was no bronze/silver/gold/diamond yet - they haven't even introduced challenger yet at the time.

  7. I was able to witness AP Master Yi and the whole giga ban Kassadin meta or you lose.

God, it feels like a lifetime already.

I've been planning it for 4 years now, and also it's been nearly 10 YEARS since I first came across this character.

What a masterpiece of a champion. To me, he means a lot more than what he may represent in game :D
I'll update soon :0

Educational Attitude is just as important as Micro and Macro

7 Upvotes

This is something so simple that a lot of people overlook. People give top players a pass when they start acting disrespectful because "they know what they're talking about" and have the rank to talk shit.

Some people, especially in low elo see this and adopt this attitude. Let me tell you something:

Your chances of winning go up higher when everyone in the team is motivated to win, not when you're putting them down.

Is it gonna magically make everyone's macro and micro better when you're being nice in the comms? Of course not.

But I'd rather have a motivated and eager-to-win teammate rather one who:

  1. Will sabotage the game out of spite

  2. Has lost the energy to win because what does it matter anymore.

And that's all because you decided to be an asshole, and now, everyone loses.

It doesn't matter if you have the superior micro and macro in your elo; if your team doesn't feel like winning anymore because you are constantly putting them down then the team's loss is on you. Because you turned what could've been a potential victory / comeback into an inevitable defeat.

It's free to be a good person. The wins feel better and the losses don't seem to matter as much, and you get to learn much more clearly because you're not constantly viewing things through the it's their fault not mine lens.

You want to improve your winrate in ranked? Don't just take into account micro and macro, think about attitude too, and believe it or not, a positive mindset is much more healthier for you.

Esports A funny thing about the TSW vs FURIA debate Spoiler

36 Upvotes

Fun fact: Since MSI, I've seen some Brazilian fans constantly putting FURIA on the same level as TSW, or even above them. Even after TSW beat TES 3-1, some were still arguing that FURIA could've beaten TES too. The funny part is that TSW and FURIA never got to face each other for months, so we never had a direct answer to that debate.

But now, MVK, a team that TSW has been absolutely dominating all year in the LCP, just swept FURIA 3-0 at Worlds. And for those who don't know, MVK is basically the successor to the old Buffalo org. Yes, THAT Buffalo team that used to terrorize G2 at MSI.

I know esports isn't perfectly transitive, but at this point, does TSW really need to beat FURIA themselves to prove anything? Looks like MVK settled that debate for them.

Discussion Should Arena only players have a pathway to Honor Level 5?

28 Upvotes

I rarely post on Reddit, but I really wanted to see what the community's opinions are regarding the standard Honor system for players who primarily stick to Arena.

As a League player since Season 1, I personally only play Arena now because I believe it is one of the best modes to ever happen to the game. For years, I consistently held Honor Level 5 by playing ARAM. However, since shifting entirely to Arena, my Honor has dropped from level 5 down to level 3. Because Arena utilizes the Fame system instead of the standard post game voting screen, there is currently no way to maintain or grow your standard Honor level.

My question for the community is: should there be some kind of adapted Honor system integrated into Arena? This would ensure that players who dedicate themselves to this mode still have a fair chance to reach Level 5 and earn the end of season rewards. I am not angry or complaining about this, just genuinely curious if other Arena mains are experiencing the same issue and what your thoughts are on potential solutions.

Classic League Classic needed the S3-S6 champions more than it needed the S1 experience

570 Upvotes

Most people were not asking to go all the way back so S1.

They wanted the versions of League they actually spent years playing:old Swain draining a fight, old Udyr running at people with four stances, old Graves playing like a short-range bruiser.

A Classic queue misses the point if the champion you came back for is not even in the roster

Would you rather have one stable S3-S6-style patch built around heavily reworked champions, or rotating patches with the full roster from each era?

Recently, he reached GM 1776 LP with Kog, playing him jg only. He is #1, #2 and #9 on this list.

This guy in general is cracked playing off meta picks, he was known for being also #1 on Kayle, Kassadin and Nasus, making also Nasus JG a viable pick in Chall elo.

Discussion new player immediately pushed to Bronze 3 in around 30 games. And then slowly tanked to Iron 3. Is this normal?

• Upvotes

I did play more supp (sera/leona) than jg (shyv) going up to Bronze 3. Then the 2nd I started locking in jungle I tanked so hard it wasn't even funny. It went from all my teammates giving me honors and thumbs upping me to question marking me, flaming me in chat, and reporting me for "not ganking their lane". But I've noticed it is always the players that are 0-10 and losing their lanes that are question marking me/flaming, while I am ganking the lanes that are winning and these players are dead silent and just play with me.

Either way I am clearly not doing something right while on supp I felt like I was just getting carried.

Like I know I am bad but damn is this normal?

Every year it’s the same thing for every competition (msi, ewc, worlds) there is always the same lame excuse for when their favorite team losing games « nah x match doesn’t count they were jet lagged »

lol esport is the only esport I follow where people constantly complain/make excuses for taking a damn plane. Hell there is a competition every 2/3 weeks for counter strike in a different part of the world and if zywoo or Donk don’t perform I never see people on reddit bring it up.

Me and my friend only play draft all the time and he always go pick the most random character mid or jng and that put the team in a big disadvantage and often lose lane because of that which lead to us losing the game sometimes

He always gets flamed because of that and i tried to ask him why dont u play these characters in their perspective roles and he always go off by saying he doesn't care what strangers think or if they enjoy their games

My question is what hes doing bannable? Is he valid for playing whatever he wants and where?

Esports LoL Esports Power Rankings update mid gameday and not after all matches have concluded

12 Upvotes

EDIT: it was updated 1 hour before second day matches started, it never was this late before. Its fine if they remove the other mid series update.

Power rankings usually update once a day and always after all matches for the day have concluded, but yesterday the update came during KC vs C9 series and there hasn't been an update since.

I know most people won't care, but I like playing with data and working with LoL Esports Power Rankings scores. Until now, every year you could get the Power Score changes between days allowing to get metrics and data for each separate round.

This isn't the case this year. They did the last update sometime during the matches. Probably they do it at 00:00 UTC which was mid series KC vs C9. This is also supported by the fact that both LEC, LCS, KC and C9 Power Scores have changed, but the score didn't update and is still 0-0 for both, which could mean they were still mid series.

I'd like to somehow notify them so they can fix it which is probably as easy as moving the update time (it already changed in past years).
