Remember when League of Legends had an actual main theme?

I 'member. https://soundcloud.com/leagueoflegends/summoners-call Summoner's Call is an amazing piece of music. It's epic, catchy and beautiful, and it will never be forgotten by those who was playing before Season 3. Listening to it being performed by an orchestra when the finals of Season 2 took place was breathtaking, it was the moment I realized how big this game have gotten. But sadly, newer players probably have no idea that it even exists. Why has Riot dropped their own main theme?

I still think it's a shame that the music that actually plays on Rift is so... bleh.

Riot has made all of this great music, but none of it is taken advantage in game. Imagine the music transitioning to this once you start taking down the outer turrets of the enemy base, giving a sense of approaching conclusion and excitement?

Remember when you'd hear hints of this song in every loading screen? I miss that so much...

Why has Riot dropped their own main theme?

cuz Riot is looking to achieve EA levels of dumb.

Also this gave me goosebumps. The old ranked champ select music gave me an overwhelming sense of purpose lol.

I much preferred the orchestral opening to the more mainstream rock/edm they've transitioned to since. That was easily my favorite opening to Worlds that they've ever done. Sorry, Imagine Dragons.

to be honest, i don't know

the last we heard the main theme was during the Pool Party event back in 2013

I remember this theme alright. Would like it if Riot eventually gave the option to choose what theme you can have for your client/login. I would just leave Lulu's on :p

The current music in the game is so boring. I would much rather listen to this.

I was genuinely pissed off when they changes the ranked champion select music from this. I remember playing ranked with my brother, both of us (very loudly) humming along with it. Good ol days :c

I miss the little trumpet banning sound especially with old draft music. I remember getting goosebumps on my first ranked game and I heard the bans go through.

Old ranked draft music was amazing, they should bring it back.

The one from last year was fairly epic...without the singer tho.

I was thinking about this a couple months ago as I hadn't heard this theme being used since the Panda Annie login theme (which I believe was a remix of this theme as well). I had hoped the theme would return via some remix since then; however, it still has yet to appear officially.

It's a shame as it's a really iconic theme and since we've reached LoL's 10th anniversary, I think it's fair that it makes a great comeback. Sure, it has been overused in the past; however, bringing a theme like this would certainly put a smile on the veteran players while having the newer players become enchanted to such a theme much like the older players did back in the older days.

At least having it play somewhere in the updated client would be nice if it can't be added elsewhere.~

I've been there, from the very start. Warcraft: TFT-esque music, god damn.

Are you talking about the Classic theme in the Audio settings or something else?

Excuse you, but the theme for League of Legends is and will always be,_ Silver Scrapes_.

Summoner's Calls is great, don't get me wrong. But LoL is about the memes, and nothing outmemes the Scrapes.

I said to myself that I don't remember this song at all. But as soon as that first chord started to hum, all the memories came flooding back to me. This is a truly great piece of music.
