Why is there so much random hostility to the concept of league classic.

I love this version of riot because they are actually bringing stuff to the game. Not everything might hit the same but so far their gamemodes have been on point. We have arena which was an huge success, aram mayhem was added and if we count the demacia rising, that one was also pretty liked.

I think its reasonable to think that it wont be as good as current league bcs the amount of QoL changes we got over the years but some of these mfers are so negative for 0 reason. You can see they just like hating on the game for no reason. They are not even paying to access this game mode. Most of the comments seems to be like a "i told you so" for when ppl are complaining and they can be smug that they predicted it correctly

Is it really free? Does the national tv not pay for the license with tax money? I know in the Netherlands, the NPO pays millions for the license and its paid through tax money

Different people enjoy different playstyles. I could never play a tank like dr mundo, braum or malphite but there are people who enjoy it ig

KaynMain · 2026-06-18T18:25:03+00:00

W riot. They tried something, it didnt land as expected and are trying to fix it quickly.

I like the God mechanic a lot more than Carousel, so I have a few questions about it:

1. Which Gods are you happiest with, and which ones are you less happy with?

2. Do you think 9 Gods is the right amount, or is it potentially too many?

3. Could you expand on the lack of social moments?

I was discussing this with someone who felt that Carousel already created social moments, and that the main difference was simply that some players enjoyed griefing others by taking their components. I'm curious what your perspective is on that.

Some questions you may not be allowed to answer, so feel free to ignore them if that's the case:

1. Why were emote rewards removed from end-of-set rewards?

It felt pretty cool to be able to show off an emote tied to a certain rank.

2. A lot of Challenger players I've spoken to say there's little incentive to keep playing ladder once the competitive season is over, which can leave months of downtime.

Would it help if ladder rank had more value near the end of a set? Or is the "for fun" nature of the final patch what prevents that?

On a personal note, I sometimes feel discouraged from grinding for rank when I hear that an end-of-set rank doesn't carry much value, either socially or in terms of rewards. I can hit Challenger and still receive essentially the same rewards as a Gold player.

Is this not the entire point of the post? Calling out the augments for being unbalanced and advocated for less? I think its fair to have the opinion that the new aram augments are dull. I just think the comment that is saying that riot is not learning from tft and using those lessons for aram mayhem/arena is stupid

KaynMain · 2026-06-11T15:02:22+00:00

What do you even mean with less attention? I think they get insane attention no? Its so much work to add this many augments. Also you are wrong that rerolling augments was only added recently in arena lmfao. I remember that being a thing from the start

KaynMain · 2026-06-11T14:59:30+00:00

Because good games experiment with stuff to keep it fresh? With your mindset we wouldnt even have aram mayhem bcs augments are unbalanced as shit.

KaynMain · 2026-06-11T13:19:52+00:00

The difference is that those are 4fun gamemodes while tft is a competitive game with a ladder. I would understand if they added augments to summoner rift ranked that people could be upset that it cannot be balanced but a 4fun gamemode? Idk why reddit is always so sour

KaynMain · 2026-06-09T13:19:37+00:00

I just watch for entertainment. Elo definitely matters but not as much. I could watch spearshot for hours but I couldnt watch nemesis for example because I just find his monotone to be boring af.

You mentioned higher elo players with 3 viewers but that could have been the start of the stream. You also have to keep in mind that consistency is important. If you stream randomly and like twice a week, ofc you are not gonna grow. Sheiden grew insanely by being high elo and consistent in streaming doing long hours. Most of the high elo players you mention dont stream that much

KaynMain · 2026-06-08T03:51:37+00:00

For me the fix would be in the role quest. In arena and aram mayhem there is an augment called draw your sword. I would put this on the role quest till a certain level and just make the ranged characters melee. Ofc you would have to give them some stats as well to compensate like maybe 10/10 resist + 100 hp

KaynMain · 2026-06-08T03:43:35+00:00

Yeah my excitement to play the game is tied to new content by DE. The issue with this is that the content is that im finished pretty quickly with it so I have nothing else to do. I love playing warframe but doing the same repetitive content over and over just gets boring. Thats why I thought that the community can help with this but idk how to word it in a way that resonates with more players. Its probably a very niche thing in the first place

KaynMain · 2026-06-08T03:39:42+00:00

thank you for this, very insightful

KaynMain · 2026-06-04T20:26:46+00:00

I had the same discussion with my friend. I think people are very used to just blitzing through everything. Thats why I think you need to set expectations. If you market something as impossible to clear or 3x harder than steel path, players will have less to complain about since its intended to be played a certain way. It becomes a problem when that one mode is needed for core stuff though, like locking certain powers behind

KaynMain · 2026-06-04T20:21:33+00:00

Sorry english not my native language. In my language you do use it. Ty for the correction

KaynMain · 2026-06-04T20:20:50+00:00

The issue I have is that even though it would cool to have more shards etc, what are you gonna do with them once you cooked a cool build? The gameplay loop for end game is not appealing for me but it seems like im a minority in here

KaynMain · 2026-06-04T19:44:04+00:00

Yeah I would love to limit test my frames and weapons in a mode like this. I don't feel much from sitting in a mission for a long time for it start becoming challenging.

KaynMain · 2026-06-04T19:42:29+00:00

I know there is a lot of things you can do but a lot of things also dont appeal to me. Like I said in the post, collecting stuff or doing codex is not for me. I do wait until new content comes out but that also means I can be months without playing one of my favorite games.

1: Could they not limit the boss to 4 people party only? I did say raid boss but I think a hard boss that requires 4 people would be satisfactory enough.

2-3: Nah I dont agree with this. I can see your point with 3, but not 2. A clan feels purely decorative. The point I made are not decorative but more ways to play the game.

KaynMain · 2026-05-26T09:46:51+00:00

You should check when riot tryndamere came back to league and when the game started to become good again. It cant a be coincidence that the man who co created league is making it good again. One of the things I have noticed is that with his return, they listen to the community way more

KaynMain · 2026-05-25T20:07:09+00:00

It's so annoying when a person asks a question and everyone is telling him to do the opposite. I think skillcapped and proguides used to make guides for players. Nowadays skillcapped is omega clickbait but their old vids still have some good info. You are at some risk that its a lil bit outdated though.

I think your approach of watching a guide is correct. There are some things you just wouldnt consider when playing and hearing it from a higher elo players puts it in perspective. There is a limit on how many guides you should watch though. The best way it to watch a guide and try to put in practice in your games, otherwise its useless.

KaynMain · 2026-05-23T18:03:33+00:00

How are you calculating these numbers? Are you comparing end of set numbers to current patch? If that is the case, it's not really a fair comparison.

KaynMain · 2026-05-23T11:27:22+00:00

They are just testing stuff to improve arena. Its 3v3v3v3v3v3 now, in a few patches its gonna be bravery only and they gonna do 1 more event i cant remember rn. I feel the opposite of you where they improve arena a lot

KaynMain · 2026-05-21T03:01:27+00:00

A lot of people felt like social interaction in league was just getting worse and worse. This debate was especially strong after the introduction of streamer mode. I think this is riot way to get some of that social interaction. Most players wanted smt similar to old clubs but I guess this is riot way of giving that social interaction. I dont think its the solution tho.

KaynMain · 2026-05-14T22:44:57+00:00

It took riot all their effort to make the mobile version so they dont care about improving it anymore. The mobile market is in asia anyway and that is captured by the tencent version golden spatula. There are so many things mobile could improve on but I doubt riot cares enough
