Either the champion is too clunky, has too many counters, or just an ultimately unsatisfying gameplay experience.
What's a champion you don't understand why anyone would one-trick/main it?
Rustiest Blitzcrank should be a reward if you own both: Rusty Blitzcrank + Rustier Blitzcrank.
As a result only obtainable by OGs with Rusty Blitzcrank that also had high engagement with League Classic
Seriously, the matchmaking in this gamemode is ridiculously wide.
In a lobby where nobody is premade with the wood players, you have:
>A Wood IV player with a 32% winrate across 50+ games being organically matched against
Ex-Rank 1 player who has 73% winrate across 700+ games
Shouldn't the MMR even out after that many games?
>"WOAHHH"
"O-WOAHHH"
"WOAHHH"
"AWOAHH"
- The laning with Tristana experience in League Classic
The titles that say something like: “Top Diff”, “Aram god”, “Arena god” etc…
Which is your favorite?
Back in 2011-2015, League was known as a game largely populated by teenagers and young adults. These days it’s matured into an aging playerbase where most users are mid 20s to early 30s.
While some games namely Roblox (or Minecraft) have been around for a similar amount of time. They still have a fresh stream of new players, to the point where despite being around for 15/20+ years… playerbase is active enough that a top place on Roblox reaches a peak concurrent playercount greater than every single League server combined, and the game as a whole is still largely being considered a youths game.
Why is League not a game that appeals to youth these days?
Vilemaw added player search, see history, winrate + by champ, games played, roles, trends, statistics on which players you win against, sterotypical elo rating, and more!
I used to find out about new ones by watching the Daily League Classic Clips YT channel, but they gave up on creating content for League Classic due to its dwindling playerbase and viewership.
For most of the clips on the YT channel, the content creators did maybe 1 or 2 videos on League Classic, trash talked it and then just went back to modern.
What’s your favorite League Classic Content Creator?
Basically the infamous $500 skin or the $250 sanctum skins.
How often do you actually see them in your games?
What advice would you give this player given his op gg, he has 1700 games played in season 16
I just wanted to playtest old Poppy and Fiora 😔
Pre-classic release on PBE (Mid-Late July) it was 15 seconds max for a queue...
This gamemode is dead after a month and unqueuable in 80% of regions…
A simple limited time run like ARAM Mayhem or Arena, where the queue comes back if it’s really popular over time. Would’ve exposed the playercount dropping like a rock after the first week.
Now we’re just stuck with this dead gamemode until it inevitably gets removed within a year due to lack of players.
At least on the bright side…
There will be a new ultra-rare icon for the people that won over 100+ games of classic and/or got legend rank when it was still around (RIP Dominion/Twisted Treeline)
Really it's ridiculous.
In every elo up until Masters in Ranked 5's you get +/- 40 to 60 LP for a win or loss.
Then the second after you get your first win in Masters (Which is normal LP gain), the system defaults everyone to +25 LP/-75LP from then on.
This explains why out of the 2100+ playerse that have hit masters, less then 100 have 225+ LP.
Getting out of Masters is a crapshoot where 1 loss cancels out every 3 wins, so you just have to hope you go on an 8-game winstreak to hit Grandmasters.
Statistics for NA (source)
League Classic launched on July 28th.
Currently around 87,000 people are ranked in the gamemode, which requires around 10+ games to get placed. The vast majority of the playerbase resides in Salt-Wood ranks, which is roughly equates to 10-30 games played.
As of late August: Around 3,000 to 4,000 games of League Classic take place a day in NA.
With the most popular days (unsurprisingly) being Saturday, followed by Sunday - Which receive roughly a 20% playrate boost compared to a typical weekday.
he's always banned 😭
(#1 most banned by %)
Basically a single champion that when added, would maximize the collective: “heIl no” consensus from the community and make the game as unappealing as possible.
It feels kind of weird that pre-orders on merch finally ship after development on the game is effectively dead...
