1-Competition

Several elite Korean players have moved to China, US and Europe. Dandy and Pawn, the jungler and top of Samsung White may be joining China's iG. Curse gaming has recently acquired Piglet, the ADC of Season 3 World champ. The competition should be more leveled in Season 5.

2-More Strategic Gameplay

The game is getting pretty significant changes this off season - the most dramatic in League history. These changes are very much eSports focused and will create more strategic options for teams. For one, the dragon will now be a significant late game objective.

3-Better graphics

When your team is losing, at least now you have something to admire!

i got 3 reason not to be excited

1: no east coast server

2: biased balance towards ap and female champ (fighter project never forget)

3: Bigger lc$ = more greed from riot

While this may balance things out somewhat, I admit I actually have some concerns regarding this. Is this really the best solution to better balance out the regions? Just take good players from other regions and shuffle them around? Wouldn't it be better to just work to bring the quality of actual NA players (at least at the pro level) up to the same level as in Korea?

If, theoretically, NA was able to actually take the fight to Korea next year and give them a real challenge, but was only able to do it because they have korean players themselves, isn't that still just the same as if Korea was continuing to dominate the whole scene on their own?

All valid reasons to be excited about 2015. I'm just as ecstatic and probably even more now that you are too ^_-!

Did Riot pay them to leave their countries to play for other teams in hopes to balance finals? I say who cares let 'em play. If korea dominates they dominate. If there's enough money and pride in it, i'm sure ppl will attempt to get better. That's like while USA dominates mens basketball we'd force LeBron to play for uganda to even things out.

I mostly play/follow dota2 and China pretty regularly dominates that scene, but there has been no movement or outcry to shuffle team nationality. Tho EG reps for US pretty hard and Navi is always a Euro fav. Those players mad their own switches in hopes to capture a title and a 5million dollar pay day (if TI5 will be that big this year)

Reason to be excited about 2015: Maybe they'll acknowledge they fucked up Azir and bugfix him without causing more bugs.
