Returning player

I’m returning to the game after a long time, played from S1 to 2017.
Classic mode brought me back.
I used to main duelists like Trynd, Yi, Jax, and WW jungle.
I love split pushing and big crits. uwu.

How good is Trynd in today’s society and meta? Is split pushing and snowballing still a strong strategy?

I’m playing AP Trynd in classic lately and it’s hilarious

Returning player advice

Hey guys this may be long but I got a question for you all, I heard this was the best place to ask.

I started playing League around Season 1 and played heavily through 2017. I peaked at Diamond 5, so I’m not new to fundamentals, but I’m obviously rusty and modern League is substantially different from what I remember.
I tend to enjoy melee carries/duelists like Tryndamere, Jax, and Master Yi. What I really enjoy is having an independent win condition: winning my lane, creating split push pressure, forcing multiple people to respond, taking advantageous 1v1s, and converting that pressure into objectives. I also enjoy champions with multiple viable build paths and the ability to adapt to different team compositions.

The news of the Classic mode has drawn me back in, even if it’s not my intention to stay in that mode.
I’m using it as a training ground per se.

I have much less time to play now than I did as a teenager, somewhere between 4 to 10 hours a week I can play.
So I’m looking for a champion/playstyle I can get a lot of value out of focused practice rather than needing hundreds of hours to become functional.

I’m also considering champs like Riven and Yasuo because I was infatuated with their kit back in the day, I was somewhat successful with them even in ranked but I was never overly impressive with them.

If you were advising someone like me, what would you recommend? I’m intrigued in a OTP philosophy or maybe a 3TP philosophy.

Is my old knowledge and playstyle still relevant today?

I’ve joined the dark side

I played Marathon open mindedly from launch, had a good time until Season 2.
It became more and more obvious the game would die no matter what anyone does.
The main Reddit became more and more defensive and hostile, and the game became unbearably sweaty full of absolute no lifers.

I had one goal, to get the platinum before its delisted.
I slogged through unbearable misery in order to fulfill my morbid desire.

Now I’m here, not because I hate Marathon.
But because I’m free now.

And just because this is really funny.

Post Mortem

I’ve seen a lot of discourse since the announcement, and a lot of warranted hate towards Sony.
I’ve also seen lately the suggestion that GTA6 is the Trojan Horse per se of abandoning physical media and I think this is plausible.

However, I’ve not seen many people turn their attention towards Microsoft and Xbox as a whole.
I recall rumor that Helix would be digital only well before the announcement.

I think competition is the single most important thing in the gaming sphere, in my life time the greatest era in gaming was PS1/Xbox - PS3/360 and this is largely due to the competition between the two.

The first great failure towards consumers imo was when online service became a paid service lead by Xbox, and now I view GamePass as the original Trojan Horse of digital media and subscription style gaming.

If Xbox was a stronger competitor and had the consumer in mind, Sony could’ve never gotten away with this shit today.

If Xbox didn’t completely shoot themselves several times during Xbone era, maybe they would’ve had incentive to give the consumer what we want and deserve.

TLDR: If Xbox never fell off, Sony would’ve been forced to appeal to the consumer more.

Worth playing in 2026?

I played the game from its beta until the release of BattleGrounds which I absolutely loved at its inception.

Is the game worth returning to as a “new” player FTP?
I blew a lot of money on the game back in the day..

Question

I want to buy a copy of the game off of EBay and I’m just now seeing there’s a Lenticular Photo copy, how do you know which copy has it?
Are the standard $60 new copies going to have it?

First time playing the game and I want the best copy if possible!

SMTV V First Megaten

Im planning on playing SMTV V as my first Megaten game, never played Persona or any other.

I’m intrigued because of the “Pokémon” like mechanics, and the idea of a challenging turn based game.

I could never get into other creature catching games, and the only turn based games I’ve completed are Unicorn Overlord and E33.

I get the feeling this is going to be something special

Average playtime

Has anyone played this game for over 100 hours on one character?
There was so much hype at first and I just haven’t heard of anyone sticking with a play through on the remaster.

I’ve heard there’s long term issues where your saves get messed up

Aptive

I know Aptive gets a bad rep for their business/contract side, but is the service itself actually good? Is it effective? They said it was pet friendly, does anyone have experience actually using their service?

Or did I just get completely scammed

The next mainline FromSoft Game will have no physical copy

The next mainline FromSoft Game assuming post 2028 release which is most likely the case, will not have a physical copy.

As someone who’s collected all of their games since PS3, this is sad to think about :(
