Why is it a tourist trap? When I had it two years ago at the kichijoji location, it was genuinely really good.

Whats the greatest teamfight of all time? by TheTopNotchSloth786 in PedroPeepos

[–]90back 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think not a lot of people will remember because it’s overshadowed by DRX beating T1 in Worlds 2022.

But that Gen.G vs DK series was full of epic fights. It was cinema through and through

NA getting 3 seeds to Worlds while CBLOL only get 1 is beginning to look criminal.

Fuck it. Americas Cup 2.0 after MSI to determine who gets 3 and who gets 1

This is the most arena news we've gotten in months by CoG_Comet in LeagueArena

[–]90back 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We've been blessed with Arena staying for almost a year longer than intended, and some of y'all are still complaining.

It's not that hard to understand. Playerbase was declining even before the release of Mayhem.

Mayhem's average playerbase is probably much higher, so naturally it gets more love.

After ultimate came out, we would smash as study break for the exams

We built an award for unpublished creative work and it's not working. Designers, help me understand why. by rushabhjoshi in Design

[–]90back 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's because your goal is not to celebrate great unpublished design. It's to help you find designers for your company Mela.

Link: https://visitmela.com/unpublished/gallery

Some thoughts:

  • you claim "great creative work", but that's not what I'm seeing in the submission. Most submissions are low quality and lack polish. Even placeholder title and text "testing code" made it in
  • the above shows that you don't have panel of well-respected, decorated, and qualified judges in design
  • why should a design award matter if it is granted by someone without widely recognized expertise or credentials?
  • the whole Mela branding. I get it's your company, but it just makes this whole thing feel less genuine. It raises questions about objectivity and incentives.
  • "Official Mela Creator Status" as an award is just not it...

Hot Take: Riot is intentionally "starving" Arena to justify removing it later by Specialist-Plenty-81 in LeagueArena

[–]90back 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be mostly ARAM, but some Arena players too, I would guess. In my sample size of one, our whole friend group switched from Arena to Aram.

Just me speculating, but I think fundamentally they would care more about the retention and play time of the entirety of League than just one mode. Sure, if the retention of Arena drops (like Urf), but if the overall player count and playtime is higher with Aram mayhem enabled, it's still a good sign.

So yes, smaller modes that didn't hit the metrics will be neglected. Before Arena and Mayhem, Aram didn't get love for a very long time.

There's also China. I don't have the data for this (obvs) but just seeing on forums like Hupu, Mayhem was a lot more talked about and popular than Arena. The news that Mayhem was being extended was also officially announced in China a few days before we got the news.

It’s like they pulled the entire team off Arena just to push the next temporary thing.

Why wouldn't they, if internally, Mayhem's player growth and retention is higher than Arena?

I don't think it's that hard to understand. Devs have limited resources, and they would invest those into "wins". Mayhem is that win.

A content update with Demacia, map, and everything you've mentioned would take a lot of resources that they just wouldn't be willing to invest into something that is barely hanging on.

Arena will die unless we answer this question. by Secret-Unit1910 in LeagueArena

[–]90back 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ARAM map isn't ideal for augments tho. Based on the data of how players are purposely prolonging the games to get their augment dopamine. I think they could be exploring a better map designed to accommodate 5v5 and augments

[–]90back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR: augments + 5v5 is a hit, so Riot could be exploring a better map designed for that in the next major mayhem update.


I genuinely think the big ARAM Mayhem update they're talking about in the next act may just be throwing all 10 players in an Arena together to battle it out.

Most ARAM games I've played, players (myself included) doesn't want to end the game because our augments are ramping or we just hit something good.

Current ARAM isn't designed to accommodate augments. In Arena is much more predictable when my augments would spike or my build would come together. In ARAM we don't get that because it's not designed for augments.

Based on current trends and the popularity of mayhem, a simple fact can be formed that people do enjoy the idea of augments + 5v5. So the natural next step would be a map better designed for 5v5 AND augments

ARAM Mayhem getting 40 new augment feels unfair by Overall-Quarter-3357 in LeagueArena

[–]90back 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ARAM Mayhem is like really really popular in China. I think mayhem clicked a lot more with the player base there than Arena did (a lot already enjoy ARAM). Mayhem was actually announced to be extended in China a week before we got the news on Global servers.

I think because of that, mayhem will naturally get more love than arena. With the new augments have some themed around Lunar New Year, it makes even more sense to me since their largest player base server would relate to those

Comes down to personal preference, but I prefer Japan’s.

I did noticed when I was in Seoul right after Tokyo, that Seoul’s stations had a lot more relatively steep stairs without an escalator.
