riot, please, stop defaulting to the season 8 login screen so often

both aatrox and akali got cheated out by the login screen of whatever event was going on alongside their release. instead of going to their login screen until the next big thing, it just defaults to the season 8 login screen. aatrox had a single day where his login screen was used. one. day. akali only had a few. i want to hear these wonderful new login screens! i don't want to see the same one every two weeks, please!

I usually don't pay that much attention to the music of loading screens, but the one from Cho had such a nice tune to it

The buildup was almost like his stacking

the thing is the season 8 login is not even that good nor representing the game...

A lot of players actually do, You just live under a rock

A playrate of 2% is close too nothing.

She's not popular and not played.

Idk I mean just cause she isnt played this meta doesn't mean she was never played and she is played a lot in diamond and challenger rank also played in the lcs, so I wouldn't call her "not popular" just underrated.

If every champion was played the exact same amount as every other champion, each one would have a 7.14% playrate. So 2% while small is not 'close too nothing' once you start falling under 1% or not showing up on op.gg (rip mordakaiser) then you can start using close to nothing to describe how many people are playing them.

Some do some don't but the thing is what they did they showed characters faces that you can't even see in game...Also If I saw that login theme I would have never guessed that the game I'm about the play is a MOBA. I imagine if champions stood as the captain america civil war airport scene would be more fitting. It would give an expressing that a battle is about to start...

Why are there 3 ADCs?! Get rid of Jinx and Lucian, use Thresh and Brand instead.

It'd be nice if we had the option of choosing which login screens we'd like to see being displayed.

I wish i we could have had that feature during the arcade login screen... dumb champions i hate making smug smiles into my face, well, at least it motivated me to type in my PW twice as fast

Yeah I'm tired of seeing some champions just slowly staring at something over and over again.

PaladinNO8 votes

Aye, bring back the old feature where we could pick the login screen of choice!

There are so many good login screens, ranging back, the effort spent on their creation wasted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoTIspKDls0&list=PLbAFXJC0J5GZHUtGea_zQR0OyD3UBuw9s

Me, personally, defaulted to Quinn's login whenever possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ61j3SxQPA

Loving the music there. "Came for the bird (either of them), but stayed for the music". <3

Let us customize our login screens once again! I got tons of them on cold storage, just waiting to be converted into whatever format the new client accepts.

I enjoyed staring at Poppy's face while logging in when she was reworked, now it has gotten obnoxious seeing her every single time I login.

Let's be real , jinx is ugly in the loading screen and what's worse it's the game's cover pic on twitch

Please, Riot! I am so tired of the season 8 login screen :(

yea, no one even likes season 8 anyway.

Everytime I see the Season 8 login screen I'm reminded of how much of a failure Season 8 is.

That might change with the Nunu rework.

The Nunu rework is not going to make up for the shitshow one shot fest we've been stuck in for the past 6 months.

I agree. I'd rather events didn't get login screens at all since they override champion logins who deserve it - AND they also bogard the main page of the client as well, so it's not particularly fair that they get to steal the new champ's/VGU's while also bombarding you with their existence on the client main page as well.

I support this even though I have never looked at the login screen since junk release. (like I swear, I don't even know what's on it ever)

Couldn't agree more.

Inb4 riot makes login skins.. Wait, Id actually buy that.

Seeing it again and again always remind me how weird it was for 5 champion login screen to pick 2 tank and 3 marksmen instead of going with the top/jgl/mid/supp/bot rotation

I don't even really like the 2018 Season login screen...

it'd be better if they gave an option to choose which login screen you saw unless it was new

I loved the stormchaser janna one just for the music

and some of them had excellent animation sequences

Some people might like the default screens b/c they think jinx is cute :3

TheGreatRasputin1 votes

RIGHT?! I am so SICK of Anticipation! They better not do that to Nunu!

Why is riot even doing this? What's the point?

EdgeLady1 votes

Looks like the Akali login screen is back now. Maybe a Rioter saw this.
