Rotating Game Mode Idea: League of Legacy

DylanTheSniper·8/20/2017, 12:48:53 AM·14 votes·975 views

Ever since my beautiful Yorick Mori was replaced with the one we have now, I've been thinking of ways to make it possible to play as him again. There is only one way (besides a way to revert to previous patches). A rotating game mode! League of Legacy is a way for people to reconnect with the champions that they loved or a way for newer players to see what champions used to be first hand! I'm not claiming something similar has not been pitched before, I have not looked much into it. I just want to spread this idea out there. I'd say that two thirds of the friends I have that play League miss at least one champion who was reworked. I realize that some champions were outrageously stupid or broken, but think about the other rotating game modes out there. Have you played Yasuo in URF? Unplayable. Brand in One For All? Broken. The game mode would not be fair in some cases, but it would be nostalgic and fun.

Notable questions or gimmicks:

  1. Where to draw the line on how old a rework can be?

  2. Champs like Ryze who have had three reworks, which would be playable?

  3. Would old items before they were reworked make appearances?

     I think that this is an interesting topic I wanted to share and would like to hear some opinions that don't tell me "Suck it up, champs are reworked for a reason." or anything of the like. Of course they are, but it would be fun to relive some old memories as Yorick the Gravedigger.  Be sure to answer on the poll, and maybe talk about what champs you miss or voice your opinion on the topic.

OTP'd old Sion for a while and I truly miss the dude. That ultimate is still something I hope will be brought back on a champion as it could make for a very strong and unique playstyle if something was built around it.

Riot has stated that it likely wouldn't be worth the effort to do this type of gamemode here http://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/2017/05/ask-riot-classic-mode/

Make all (released) versions of all champions playable. Then we could see if things were really broken, or just broken for their time. It'd be not only fun, but interesting.

i would LOVE LOVE LOVE if they did this, but riot has addressed this (in relation to doing it as a way to test current vs old league and see what has improved or gotten worse) and said its extreeeeemely unlikely because of the sheer size of the task/update it would require along with some other significant hurdles. so as much as i would love to be able to play season 3 again, its not very likely

......I too thought yorick was a beautiful creature, and game me s+ after s+ every game, but now he has lost what made him the ghoul guy. At this point he's pretty much annie if she was an old half-dead monk

Thanks for all your comments guys! Although it is extremely unlikely any of this will ever be anything more than a dream, it's nice to hear so many other people missing their old champs. Maybe someday we'll get something like this when Riot finally runs out of ideas.
