I haven't played league in a month, but I just watched a dunkey video from 3 years ago

And I went from having an absolute disgust for the game, to actually wanting to play league of legends again. He actually looks like he's having fun and genuinely enjoying the game. It really reminded me of how I felt when I first started picking up the game in late 2016. So I went on Twitch to watch some more, and I immediately became disgusted with the game again when I saw that only 50,000 people were watching it, in 3rd place behind IRL.

IN 3RD PLACE, BEHIND IRL

Come on Riot, you used to dominate this stuff, "NOTHING COULD KILL LEAGUE", do you remember that? I remember, league was literally untouchable. Even when I didn't play league I understood the meme, why does it seem like it's now just hanging off the edge of a cliff praying that it's fingers won't slip.

And believe me, if League loses in the long run to FORTNITE's battle royale (a gamemode with an expiration date just ticking down to minutes until people just up and get bored of the dumb trend) it will be embarrassing. Not just embarrassing, but, well, do you remember the Titanic? Yeah, like that.

I understand it's an old game and it can't stay in the #1 spot forever, but I really think some changes that definitely drove me out of the game for good (Scuttler changes just for starters) are what's really driving other people away from this game. Maybe it's time to change direction in terms of game design, balance, and so on.

but what do I know, I haven't even touched the game in a month.

If it made you want to play league why did you go to twitch to watch league and not just play league? Lol

Yeah, and surprisingly enough in that version of the game he doesn't die in one shot to everything; it actually takes 10 seconds to kill something level 3 because damage wasn't yet absurd in the early game.
