We should have the "Old League" game mode

Guest Host·9/18/2016, 4:47:49 PM·39 votes·3,356 views

League is a rather old game now, and I feel like a lot of the players would really like it if we have a game mode where we bring back certain old elements of the game. We could do this in a number of ways. I think it would be really cool to be able to play champions before their rework. This includes relatively new reworks like Yorick Graves Ryze Taric Fiora GangplankShen Malzahar Poppy as well as older ones like Sion Soraka MasterYi Gragas Nidalee TwistedFate . We could also bring back old items, spells, and even jungle monsters.

By no means am I saying that the old users are dissatisfied with the current state of the game or that the changes it went through were negative. The point is that old users miss the old game and would highly appreciate it if we could have access to some of it.

While I'd love to enjoy AP Yi and DFGaren one more time, it's unlikely that they'll actually create a legacy server. Now if you're talking a legacy rotating game mode, that actually sounds like a good idea. Give some of the newbies a chance to experience some of the older memes firsthand. They'd have to make some kind of a decision on when they go back to, but I'm sure they could pick one of a couple arbitrary points, assuming they've still got all the old code/stats/kits available.

I'm an old user and I think this.

But yeah, a legacy mode would be pretty great.

I'm OK with old league, but what I REALLY want is old twisted treeline.

Is that time of week where someone suggests this idea thinking they are original?

So people can whine about not picking meta like they do already? Kidding.

I do think that some of the reworks were rather successful. I still want to play them the way they were before sometimes.

I think they should just use a season 1 patch for this (if possible)

Old map, only the launch champs (make them all free, revert all reworks), bring back the old items, revert all patched numerical changes, etc. Let us take a trip down memory lane to when league was smaller, simpler.

This is really only feasible if they have the older patches stored somewhere, the old map resources, etc. But it would be really cool.

Season-specific queues for the maps, or just one, either way would be pretty cool. I think it'd have to be season specific though, it would just be the easiest frame of reference.
