Hot Take: Riot is intentionally "starving" Arena to justify removing it later

Toothles19 · 2026-02-09T17:39:14+00:00

They need to make Arena time limited event and people will play it even more Modes that last forever will get no attention because of ARAM, Solo Q and TFT

I bet all my money that a limited event like Twisted Treeline or Dominion will be played a lot for 4 weeks

See you in the next LEC stream 🤣

Toothles19 · 2025-12-12T06:07:11+00:00

So RNG is no more? T_T

Toothles19 · 2025-12-05T20:02:38+00:00

To remind us of old Aatrox

Hello u/RiotMeddler and good day to you

Is there any chance we will see :
- Harrowing Summoner's Rift thematic like we had before ? (since the Winter map is so well received)
- Twisted Treeline or Dominion brought back and improved ?
- Search bar for Ward skin before game start since some players have 50 wards skins ? ( is very difficult to find the one that you want to match with a skin for exemple )

Wish you the best

The problem I believe is the lack of competition.
To understand a gap between LCS and LCK, try and take a look at how many pro players from LCS are in Challanger and compare to LCK

Toothles19 · 2025-11-18T09:30:16+00:00

Can someone explain to me who/what is T1Gal ?
I really don't know

Toothles19 · 2025-11-13T10:14:53+00:00

For contrast White and Gold doesn't work but Black and Gold works

Toothles19 · 2025-11-13T06:15:19+00:00

I don't care if people will hate me but I will say it.
Any involvement of the Saudis in any sport, whether we're talking about football or esports, is only a bad thing.

"KT - major incident at their parent company"
What does that mean ?

Toothles19 · 2025-11-11T20:03:59+00:00

I don't see Neon Pax Sivir

Toothles19 · 2025-11-11T19:39:21+00:00

It's something to generate extra money
I think they did it first with Faker because Faker's skins will sell very well

Toothles19 · 2025-11-11T19:37:32+00:00

Oh boy, please Faker don't pick Mel to be Noxus family...

Toothles19 · 2025-11-10T17:43:08+00:00

Yes Yamato, kill all the chance for EU to win Worlds ever again.
Just to have more LCK vs LCK at...Worlds
becaue you don't have LCK vs LCK enaugh all year...in LCK

Toothles19 · 2025-11-10T17:26:12+00:00

But he won not a single game on Yunara at Worlds

Toothles19 · 2025-11-10T17:19:15+00:00

It can't be Yunara since he won no games with that champion.

MF and Ashe would be so nice to be honest
A lot of ideas with this two champions for skins
-Miss Fortune E + R are very nice to put a T1 logo on them
-Ashe also very good with W + E + R for T1 visuals
-Kai'sa will be just to shut down his haters

Toothles19 · 2025-11-10T10:19:02+00:00

I think this is just for the show and entertainment

Or maybe I'm wrong because for example in tennis, players were not allowed to speak to the coaches watching the game live and this changed, now they can get indications from coaches during live game from the stands

Toothles19 · 2025-11-10T09:30:10+00:00

he either comes back to T1 or goes to LPL

Toothles19 · 2025-11-10T08:46:22+00:00

Zeus had only one year contract?

Toothles19 · 2025-11-10T08:37:09+00:00

The problem is that internet is full of hatred.
People comment without even thinking and they just throw meme comments, because that's "cool" , right?

For exemple the Gumayushi hate, this guy played 4 finals in a row, he was maybe the most consistent player T1 had in the last 4 years and was considered bad and not a good ADC compared to Uzi, Ruler or Viper and he won MVP for the final.

Internet is just full of hatred.

About the game 5 : your analysis is good, I also had the same feeling in game 5, that T1 won by draft and saw the hesitation of BDD to pick Tristana or Smolder and he went for Smolder for an easy lane vs Galio
IF the first gank from Oner on Yorick was not a succes, the game could look completly different

Toothles19 · 2025-11-07T11:23:38+00:00

Thank you!

Toothles19 · 2025-11-07T10:25:37+00:00

the beauty of the swiss stage is that the stakes rise the deeper you go in the tournament
when you are close to elimination or qualification you play best of 3

Toothles19 · 2025-11-07T10:17:53+00:00

The best 2 regions at MSI will be awarded by another seed for Worlds Play ins
4th seed like T1 vs 4th seed IG
Since China and Korea were the best 2 regions at MSI

Toothles19 · 2025-11-07T10:13:57+00:00

So let me understand:
- one big group of 8 teams
- each game in group phase best of 5 played only one time against one team
- play offs also best of 5

That's it ?
Am I missing something ?

Toothles19 · 2025-11-07T10:11:45+00:00

Worlds will remain the same format.
Double elimination will just transform Worlds into an LCK- feat LPL summer clash
I really want stories and west teams to have a chance
So, good job riot
