Old Patches Game Mode

Lightspawn·May 15, 2016·1 votes·763 views

So I was thinking about all the patches I've played and that's quite a few. I got to thinking and had the idea that one of riots game modes should be an "old patches game mod" where not all but most of the changes that were made in a certain patch could be reintroduced in that game mode. Now there are some patches people hated but there are some that people LOVED. And it doesn't really have to be everything, it could be just champions with their old visuals and abilities but with an updated look so it can fit into the game. Just an idea that could really be something awesome one day. Post ideas branched off this or formed from this below! This would give older lol players a chance to reminisce and new ones to experience everything the old ones did!

Most changes are because the game balance shifted due to code changes, new champion mechanics, item changes, or Koreans breaking perfectly good champion kits. The few that are not would barely be appreciated in a game mode like this.

Do you mean the few champions that are not or patches? And the changes are the point because it's for people who want to see what the game was like and for people to experience it again. Also what do you mean code changes? Like updates in the software to develop the game?

I meant the few champions they changed because the felt like it, not because they really needed changed. Every update for the past 6+ years they have had reasons for every change they made. not always good ones or reasons we understand, but every code change they made was for a reason.

I see what you mean. Do you think an idea could come from this or anything to make it better? I just want new LoL players to experience old things and old LoL players to experience old things again. Like what if they brought back items like dfg (rip adc's) or heart of gold.

It would be really hard. They could do a small list of champs maybe, like old sion, cass, poppy, taric, etc. champs where they did full reworks. then give only season 1 or season 2 item sets. it would not have much replay value sadly, but could be fun for a few games. especially if people rotated what champs they used and if they are used to the reworked versions.

Hmm that's true when i really think about it, it would be extremely hard. Me personally, I would play every champ that got reworked but who knows how it would go. Honestly even visuals would be super satisfying too. Thanks for your feedback!
