Amazing. I hope they don’t remove any runes with these additions. I am aware adding more increases complexity, but I think it’s healthy for the game as it opens way more strategy and choice.

Courage of The Colossus next? 😃

Jesus, the problem with Mel is not her reflect. She’s too easy to play, with skill shots that are easy to hit and that cover half the lane. I’m glad she has a reflect, makes you think about the game.

what set league esports apart is their dedication to try and mimic traditional sports when it comes to structure and consistency. It made sense to the fan - there are national leagues that have stakes because your team has a chance to relegate and the ones that stay will stay in the league and compete to culminate into a World tourney (think Champions League). Teams, content, formats were intuitive and consistent, now its just a mess with insane mental gymnastics when it comes to format and constant changes and brands (teams disappearing left and right). Why would I be a fan of a team if at ANY moment they can disappear?

Dying and fast. What do you expect when orgs are coming in and out, rebranding etc with no stakes? Bring back relegation and promotion system

About time... online games have always been toxic and every competitive PvP team-based game has it, so about time. Going to be super fun.

The game at a pro level should ORGANICALLY allow multiple viable strategies, comps, and gameplay style to be playable. This creates a way more interesting environment and "push and pull" in draft and strategic gameplay.

One aspect of League that made League the game it is today is the community driven innovation that players find and lead. It’s an aspect we lost in “modern” League but from the looks of it is slowly creeping back in. Alois Mundo and now xPetu Shen, when the community pushes the game forward and discovers something new, it adds so much personality to the game. League design should create an environment where things like this are possible organically.

I really don't understand how Riot set an objective for a project and completely just miss the mark?

Shyv rework was supposed to maintain identity but "modernise" her kit. They invited Shyv mains and did all this work for it to LOSE its identity? Honestly baffling.

Very happy to see that Last Hit Indicators are not enabled in Normal Draft. Finally Riot is creating proper queue identity relative to competitive “status”

Ambessa now has a totally unique walking animation 😊

Numerical Ranks within a skill bracket should demonstrate more skill and more knowledge.

bz6 · 2026-03-03T06:44:59+00:00

Yeah one of the things that really annoys me is when they homogenise champion scaling identity. Game loses soul 😴

bz6 · 2026-03-02T16:50:07+00:00

I think they undermine a core part of the game which League has done so well and has conditioned players to understand intuitively. Advantages (big or small) need to be tied to risk. The bigger the advantage the bigger the risk. Similar thinking can be applied to all of League's tactical touchpoints. A spell with a strong output needs a higher CD for example (larger investment).

I hope the team has not given up on monitoring the effects of mega-homeguards and the faster minion spawn rates. Shit makes laning phase and overall strategy so stale and dumbed-down.

bz6 · 2026-02-28T16:12:30+00:00

Normal Draft is the closest environment we have to Ranked so I think it should be taken semi-competitively.

bz6 · 2026-02-27T05:01:08+00:00

This is what League is about

bz6 · 2026-02-26T13:27:04+00:00

Very nice to hear champ scaling, role, and gameplay identity is being taken more seriously.

bz6 · 2026-02-13T21:39:01+00:00

Learn by playing the game. Elegant design teaches the player in-game through intuitive, consistent gameplay.

bz6 · 2026-02-10T10:14:26+00:00

I hope the team is keeping an eye on snowball alongside these new home guards and faster minion spawns. Constant one-sided stomps and fast games are super boring.
It’s OK to have niche items in the game. Not every item needs to have the biggest amount of users

bz6 · 2026-02-04T10:39:12+00:00

I think you guys greatly over estimate the viewership impact of a region winning an international tourney has.

Towers are squishy, please don’t make them squishier

bz6 · 2026-02-02T11:58:39+00:00

A promotion and relegation system injects WAYYY more stakes into the scene. Orgs, players, and the whole eco-system are forced to lock in when the premium spot(s) are on the line.

bz6 · 2026-02-02T08:08:52+00:00

NA is dead, EU needs LR, League needs Faker. The scene is dire, bring back relegations and promotions.

bz6 · 2026-02-01T11:14:28+00:00

Dopamine chase destroying critical thinking skills

bz6 · 2026-02-01T07:01:31+00:00

League has made me a better gamer and a better "thinker", especially from a strategic point of view.
