Veteran players, what do u have in-game to show you're veterans?

So I've been thinking... Played the game since beta... like who cares rite? Riot certainly doesn't.

Because what have we to show that we've supported this game for a long time?

Rare summoner skins? PAX TF?... Rare icons? Maybe Season 1 Plat icon and above? Or full champion pool? Or remarkable skills- your current rank... Maybe u made some friends along the way. Friendships are fleeting for me in this game. If only we had Clubs since start...

I feel it is still lacking. Albeit this is a f2p game, you can't have pay2win aspects, there is more that can be done by Riot to give back to players that have played your game for so long. The community. Veteran WoW/Eve players have rare achievement pets they ride to show off or endless ISK/gold they can tap into, enormous skill-pools for Eve players.

What have u to show that u've been supporting the game since the beginning? I know fun should be derived from playing the game itself. The other day I went back into my old WoW account of 5 years (I quit after Lich King). The account still holds a number of rarities and boosts some crazy achievements/titles. My old guild was still around. Leadership passed from one hand to another. I don't recognize any guild member but it was a refreshing feeling to revisit the game.

Then I looked at this LoL account of similar 5years... so I have full champ pool, about 3accounts, couple rare skins/icons... but that's about it.

I still remember when I started out... my first champs were Warwick, followed by Tristana. It was a fun ride those early years. Much less elitism and genuine fun games. LoL has changed a lot obviously. But look at the state of Warwick after 5 years. Anyway, my thoughts on Riot always have been- More could have been done for the community/players (esp. players who supported u from the start) of this game.

Pardon my English.

I have the knowledge of me being stound since mid / late S2. I don't need to have anything to prove it. I can talk about past experiences that happened in game as well, like league of BC, or the initial twitch eve updates.

I know you can't compare them like that coz obviously 2 very different games. But is King Rammus... Judgment Kayle etc enough? I carried a lot of good experiences of the game with me... but intangible stuff.. It still feels kinda "lackluster" to me... I don't know.

Use king rammus, and act like I'm bowser all game.

Because everything is Rammus- Ok

Also I have skins that you cant get anymore, and some rare icons.

I have some of the special Harrowing Runes, along with the santa Baron Summoner Icon... other than that, I don't have much to show that I've been playing since S1.

EDIT: I DO HAVE JUDGMENT KAYLE, THAT"S A THING!

But on the other hand, you want something to show how long you've been playing?

Who knows? Achievers care for stuff like that. I'd assume it'd help player retention too. To give achievements/awards for sticking with the game. That's why Blizzard has anniversary sales/awards and stuff like that.

Played since ryze release, who the fuck cares?

Goodest Gamer2 votes

didnt ryze come out as the original 10?

Ahristocats1 votes

He was the first i think, that's why i lied, i played since season 1, irelia release or something like that. i didn't know that new champs were release until renekton.
