I have played this game since the beginning and it has changed so much I thought I would share what the game was like. In no particular order, here we go:

Blitzcrank’s grab use to be a targeted spell Running to lane bush as fast as possible for that lvl 1 skirmish/kill Ashe vs Ashe mid lane Having a duo top because no one had bought Warwick or Fiddlesticks yet Morde was unkillable with warmogs/force of nature/thornmail Triple stack item Akali ADC Twisted Fate APC Tristana Fortify use to be a summoner spell that made towers invulnerable for a short time Ghost was sometimes preferable to Flash Atmas Impaler Kennen and Kogmaw were the only 6300 champs BTW Kennen is a champion in LoL and use to not suck New release champs weren’t all 6300 All skins were recolors Mercenary Katarina was originally the base skin Tiamat worked on ranged champs Sunfire Evelyn Evelyn had a stun and actual stealth instead of this “I’m invisible when you aren’t looking” BS Every champ had a Dodge stat and base dodge chance Dodge tank Jax Dying in your fountain because the laser didn’t kill fast enough or go through things like dodge/invulnerable WAY LESS MOBILITY Hard engages forced team fights Zed didn’t exist Lore Jarvan was actually LeBlanc Old forums Dragon Master Swain skin concept Zhonya’s and Rabadon’s were one item Sivir’s bouncing glaives were a toggle Twisted Fates ult was a basic ability Olaf was super strong %health true damage didn’t exist Death recap didn’t exist No one bought boots because need dat damage Release Xin was a terror Teemo mushrooms lasted 10 minutes Ranked was purely MR based, no promotion series Bronze league had to be earned, everything below that was unranked Leagues were: Bronze(top 25%) Silver(top 10%) Gold(Top 3%) Platinum(top .2%) Ranked was for lvl 20 and up You had to buy every ward No limit on potions in inventory Madred's Razors for jungling Seasonal map skins Morgana was a mid lane terror Ezreal use to heal allies The first place prize for Season 1 Championship was $50k

Fortify use to be a summoner spell that made towers invulnerable for a short time Ghost was sometimes preferable to Flash Atmas Impaler

Stop reminding me of the good times

Edit: Also back when Revive was in the game and Karthus was actually fun to play because of it. RIP Phantoml0rd senpai.

Gangplank could actually deny the enemy CS with his Raise Morale.

Don't forget Shaco's 6 month reign over all things living and pure.

Urgot was reworked both before & after he existed. Several items could be stacked since their passives were not 'unique'; such as ranged physical carries having 120% lifesteal, & bruisers could do true damage with multiple black cleavers. The gunblade had higher attack damage & ability power; and used to be the only item with lifesteal & spellvamp that wasn't conditional. You could also block minions from reaching the lane since they wouldn't go around. There was a lot more bushes & the oracles elixir could be bought in the rift.
