"Retro" mode???

Hey guys, this is my first post ever I think. I've been playing league of legends since like 2009 I think. Anyways, really a long time. I've seen everything and I've been with this game since early days of development. I've been through all the bugs, cheats, abuses etc. One thing I will always miss, that's the old league, the one back in the days when graphics were pretty much sh** compared to new one. When minions and camps looked funny, when you could get instakilled by blue buff, when you could pull the baron out of it's area. Nowadays graphics look kinda boring and unoriginal. Also there is couple of more stuff worth mentioning, remember all the pentas with AP YI? Remember when Shaco would be permainvisible? Damn I miss that funny sh**.

My suggestion/idea is to (since I pressume they still have early builds) try to introduce it as a mode, at least for a brief period.. like some OLD RETRO league mode, where all new players would see the old league and even play it for a short duration. Yeah some may say it's buggy, it's unplayable etc, but hell, isn't urf unplayable? Isn't urf all about getting the most OP champ and just spam everything? Pretty much it would be fun to play for at least few days.

I think there is at least few percent of old players who would choose OLD league over new one in a heartbeat.

Looking forward hearing back from the world's most toxic community! <3

I remember this was an "Ask Riot" post where having a retro/previous patch/etc kind of mode was a popularly suggested idea.

Long story short, they have to do a LOT of replacement files and adjustments, and that it's not really that possible to adjust even game modes to "past states". Or in other words... technical limitations.

Now I do think and have always thought it's not an at all bad idea.

Ok sure but why3 votes

ive been asking for this for years

but riot won't do it, because they can't advertise their skins off of it

It's because it's technically impossible to do it without it being a mess..

Name the last NEW game mode they released that didn't advertise a skin

Unless they made dedicated 'retro' servers that run previous patches, I can't imagine it being doable.
