If league looses its base players (old or high rank) common and casus players will follow

What make a games famous is :

• when your friends talk to you about it (those are old players)
• when youtubers and streamers say its a good game
• when the playerbase (the veterans) say the game is good

All those bring new players if they arent happy or disappear the propaganda will stop

Those will disappear if people will stop refering lol as a good game :

• some of them are common players
• some of them are casuals
