How League of Legends could be more interesting

tsuaf·Aug 29, 2016·19 votes·1,084 views

League of Legends has been in my life ever since my friend introduced me to it. For the whole time being I've liked the game, but over time it seems it feels less interesting and less innovative than before.

Today I had a conversation with my friend on the topic and we talked about things we miss about League. One of those things was the old map changes during halloween and Christmas. Why were these things dismissed during these last few years? I understand that making new maps could be expensive and that it doesn't do much to the gameplay but some decorations wouldn't hurt (e.g. decorated turrets, new music).

This would be very healthy for the game because it makes the game fresh every once in a while. And I would realy like those features to be back.

They can't even bother improving new players experience either. This game might attract a lot more new players, but it's sure as hell not gonna keep those new players.

Right now nearly every effort is being put into designing and finishing the new client. This will be an immense help to new players and also will benefit old players significantly. Due to this until it is launched, do not expect any changes to systems outside of balance, new champion releases, or lore

Really? The entire new player guide is reworked (and quite in depth, it makes the actual tutorial seem simple). The client is being reworked and I think they are also going to be working on redoing the tutorial soon (and it's needed since Ryze isn't good as a starting champ anymore).

Tutorial is great, but when you have to grind for years to get champions and runes to catch up to older players that's not very fun.

I have to agree with the champions, but it's also not unreasonable to pay for some RP and buy champions. No need to buy everything, but the game is free. There's no subscription cost, there's no initial cost, nothing but that RP. Sure people say they are greedy (Riot's income is pretty high) but they need things to cost real money so they have some form of consistent income.

even if you ignore champion cost. Tier 3 runes is so expensive and you need multiple pages if you dont want to be at a disadvantage.

Which is why after nearly a full year of playing... I have now 20ish champions (only like 6 I enjoy) and not even a quarter of the runes I would like. At 20-60 minutes a game the IP takes quite a while to earn, I think ramping it up or lowering IP costs would be nice.

the easiest way to make league a serious skill matched competetive and interesting game is very simple actually - stop fucking giving unnecesary buffs to champs to try to bring them to the level of OP champs and nerf more but riot cant do that simply because favoritism factor and the fact that they sell skins :/ its kinda fcked

The sad thing is that the beginning of the season felt a lot better because there was a lot more diversity in champion selects. There needs to be a serious amount of changes that either buff the weaker ones or nerfs the stronger ones.
