Nostalgia Mode

I really liked the way the old client looked. It felt more personal than this modernized version. The new map is good but I have fond memories of the old one. It would be cool to have a "Nostalgia Mode" where we can play on old patches and maps. I'd really want to play Season 4 League.

This was inspired by watching some old vids of League. This one in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMgDKcUKGJI

I really want this to happen. I want to play old urgot before they reworked him. I loved old urgot. He was my favorite champ ever. Why did they rework him. WEPFNC[oweifnOWEN[weignOGN[orignroigndfkjbalkdjfnbadjfknbakjfnUrgot

RIP season 3, back when this game was good.

And to remind ourselves what it looked like back then, when content mostly were what we paid for, without change and no refunds: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AuFMZD__7mN2gVYXOGVx4DsebjAH https://1drv.ms/u/s!AuFMZD__7mN2gxZzbDc2kFvFFevC https://1drv.ms/u/s!AuFMZD__7mN2gXEqOtdjDFXp6uKr

Oh wow that HUD takes up so much SPACE! Much lower visibility. Color variation is also a lot less too.

Same and also I would like to play pre-midseason 5 again.

I recommend you check out a YouTube video by Extra Creditz titled "Legacy Play". By all means, a "classic LoL" is athing Riot could support, but it comes with its own risks, and given the culture surrounding League (specifically, e-sports are playing a recent build of the game), having players using an outdated version can leave the fanbase fractured. The other challenge is where do we draw the line? Where is the end-ppint of "classic"? Because anything between that line and right now still won't be available to play (I really want to play the visual-update Soraka, but before the gameplay update. Will this version serve me?)

Tl;dr it's not necessarily a good business practice but it could be quite successful.

I would spam nostalgia mode if it was created

The thing is : this is a great idea , but , riot will never do that because its like admitting their game was better before ( witch is objectively true ) .

They know their game was better before , look all the reverts they make : reworked champs reverted , gold bounties are reverted , 10 bans because they know top tiers are unbalanced , they removed DYNAMIC Q ( lol ,that shit was rly bad ) , they will soon buff turret gold for the one who take them ... And i hope they do more to a point where this game won't be the coin flip it is right now .

Wow, Evelynn mid, Lee Sin top. Heart of Gold + Philo. Those clips are from season 2 no doubt. It has its charms, but getting stuck support was no fun at all compared to how it is now.

I dont wanna old client come back as a mode i want to back as a main client. I also like old client style.

Look, if they instituted this, no one would be playing the current patch. I like to refer to season 4 as the "golden years" of league. Long gone are those days now.

I still think old SR looked better. It was colorful and vibrant. The new one is brown.

Even if they did this they probably wouldn't bring the old client back unfortunately just the game itself.

As much as we all love nostalgia for the old game, one thing we don't like on the Boards is old threads that have been brought back to life. That's not nostalgia, that's necromancy. Please do not bump old threads and instead make new ones to discuss topics like this one. I'm locking it down now.

They have said before that they would like to do something like that but actually trying to do it is a monstrous task that isn't one of their priorities now.
