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.
- Ok
