Season 2025 is a DISASTER

I’m part of the official League Partner Program with Riot Games. You can read about the program here:

Riot might actually overwork Vandiril to death this year

[EzoKare]

Man I can't believe that I started playing League back on 2009 during the beta, now it's 2025 and the game is still in beta. Actually fitting for an indie company.

Riot: Arcane didn’t get enough people to sign up for our game

The game in question:

[strakk]

Don't worry guys the QA team is tackling the most important issues first, like if the gacha system will have any bugs/problems

[htlchtlc]

what a 50% work force reduction does to a poorly coded game

Between the awful changes to the battlepass, the new gatcha system, removal of mastery chests, awful skin lines and this, it might be the worst season of league so far. Jesus christ this game turned into a complete joke

[Artemesis]

And so it begins, a new year of league of legends 🎉🎉🎉

[TheBeziko]

It's getting even worse if you think about all the changes for rewards as f2p player. Literally unplayable game for new players since you have to grind forever now for champs to buy 💀

[Tom-rezo]

it's almost like turret range was the same for over a decade and the entire game was balanced around that for the last 10 years, so making it shorter undid the most basic foundation of balance in the game.

Worst part is that they removed hextech chests and now you can’t get skins for free

[frigozika]

I love how they just removed mastery chests from the game and now you have no way to earn them without paying for them truly disgusting

[pagogordei]

and not to mention the lack of free chests. this is kind of insane

[P_____---]

They removed champion capsules after level 30 and awakening missions for beginners. They didn't even mention it on the patch notes, so we found out through the Chinese patch notes. Riot doesn't want new players, I guess.

"Riot began 2024 by laying off 530 employees in a move it insisted was a "necessity", saying its costs had "grown to the point where they're unsustainable... [leaving] no room for experimentation or failure"."
Thanks google, now I understand why the new season looks like that.

[shinarau]

give them a break, at least we are getting awesome new gacha system and amazing new battle pass rewards that are changing league forever

[Snow-Man]

I love how Riot completely remove free chests and capsules on new levels from the game and didn't even mention it anywhere😅

Riot's treatment of its players is typical of someone who is tired of the relationship and has settled down. They don't think they need to make an effort, after all, they are a billion-dollar company. Now all that matters is the numbers. But numbers don't keep players active. League was once a great game to play, but Riot's complacency + the company's shift in a direction that ONLY cares about profit are slowly killing the game, which is very, very sad.

[darkenyuki]

Remove daily reward and capsule from leveling up is the wildest thing you could've ever done in a video game, since this game is EXTREMELY unfriendly for beginners, now it takes even harder for them to get in line.

[Harlton]

Honestly this is why we had a month to play test the new season changes in the past on live servers. Give us preseason back!!!

Riot's finest spaghetti to date. This is even better than the previous spaghetti known as Viego, Sylas, and K'Sante. A wonderful dish Riot. I applaud you *tips hat*
