Exploring Old League of Legends (13 Years Later)

[@Sitback]

Corrections: I forgot Varus and Zyra are Champions released that got released in Seaosn 2. Also, Syndra has been updated recently to make her more powerful late game and give her two charges for her Q. 😗 Zed Ult did get quality of life buff and a season or two later removed 💀 SEJUANI ULT WAS AN AOE STUN Volibear didn't have the bump on his e until later on Zyra old passive was different Old rengar E was point and click 😭

[@shawnboyett6816]

Bro how could you even MENTION Sejuani and forget that... Her ultimate used to be a AOE STUN with the range of the CURRENT AOE SLOW OF HER ULT? It was LITERALLY the most broken part of a champion kit EVER released that took SEVERAL nerfs to get her back to a balanced state. Her win rate at her peak was 61%, still the highest winrate of any champ ever released. It was so bad that even a few years after nerfing her ult to the ground, they had to nerf it again because the slow they had nerfed her ultimate to was too strong and in pro environments, pros had figured out to intentionally miss her ult to use it as a setup to land the rest of their champion's abilities.

When a new champ was released, you had to log in 2 hours before playing because the servers were too full. but the login screen showed the new champion and their theme played. This made new champs much more exciting and added personality. Nowadays you just randomly log in after an update and realize 'oh, the new champion is out?' after seeing someone ban them. 💀

[@TimZoet]

I started playing League of Legends in season 3, and let me tell you: even though it might seem imbalanced and ugly, the game itself was far superior to what it is now. Back then, having fun was the biggest priority. And I actually had fun, even when you were losing. The runes and masteries + items gave you very creative options for every champion. Nobody was super competitive like they are now. The game looked and felt a lot more cozy and mysterious. I truly miss old LoL. I've quit the game for a while now, because it's not good for your health, but if they would make a seperate 'old school' version of it with only the old champs, old items and everything else that belonged in the game before the updated map and jungle camps... I would totally come back to League

[@TheHed94]

Agreed, they should totally make LoL Classic and go back from S2 or S3 and slowly progress further. They killed the game over the years with the anti social decisions and the champs they released, its just too many now and many of them are just slight copies of another.

[@Jrights1]

[@mekal177]

There was a fan project that was reviving s2 and it was coming along great sadly riot killed it Have quit LoL for a while now but like you if the brought back a classic s1-s3 version I would jump back in instantly

[@Sagjer]

Ok sorry bruv, but no, it was not creative, and no, it didn't have fun as its priority. That we ruined pretty early on. It was pretty much as toxic as it "ended up" being, and you should optimise as much as you do now, only in a more generic way. If a game didn't lose its mystique after 15 years that it's been out, it'd be kinda weird, donchu think? But, don't wear rose-tinted glasses in the name of nostalgia or inexcusable noobness. It was as awful and as beautiful as it is now. Only we got bored of it. That's just healthy.

[@sherth6397]

I miss the old client for many reasons, but the best part was the fact that it showed you how many people accepted the match when queueing - so many people would accept last second, and it was fun to watch the bar fill.

[@alexale5488]

I was one of those accepting as the last one :))) Old LoL was more fun....yeah, it was more toxic, more buggy, maybe there were more champions that were either completely trash or completely broken....but the funny thing is the game felt ALIVE. It wasn't that competitive like today, it didn't have a corporation feeling, it felt like this chaotic battleground where people can meet and interact. I mean, people were trying duo top and were succeeding, a lot of strategies used to work, like, troll strategies. Today, the game is built in such a way that if you don't play it exactly as intended, you lose.

[@anhkha8867]

My friends n me tried to replicate this in normal drafts. But instead of becoming a raidboss by ascending, we played 4 supports and one hyperscaling midlaner, usually Jax. I still remember fondly one of them playing Soraka jungle (the old one, with mana regen and healing to her teammates) and "reverse ganking" me when I was the raidboss. Basically filling up my HP/Mana so I could keep fighting forever. The jungle buffs were also not shared back in the day and for a really long time, the ability to jungle was determined whether or not you could sacrifice the second blue to your midlaner... God, I miss old League. People say it's nostalgia, but it really was a different game, while still sharing the same core mechanics, it doesn't play the same anymore. League allowed you to have fun back in the day, nowadays it's all about the competition. Same fate has struck CS and gaming as a whole. It's all about a stupid rank nobody gives a damn about.

[@laersonverissimo1715]

important details about draft that you missed. 1. There was no role calling in draft, that was only used on blind pick. In draft people choose their role in the order of the picks, and last pick always got support. People did not respect it at all, “mid or feed” was a recurring phrase, and since that was not enforced by Riot, people could refuse to play in a position without facing consequences. 2. The order was dictated by elo/mmr. The highest elo always got first pick. So one strategy was to duo queue with someone way below your elo and always get the first pick, since the other 3 players would have less elo than you.

As a support main i barely had any problems in champ select during the early seasons but i still remember watching the chaos unfold every single game

[@Poifix]

Old league is goated. I'd honestly wish for a retro gamemode or retro client to experience that time again. Old > New

[@BlubberBuddha]

it is so much better when some1 can play all roles cause so you understand things better than just doing the same thing over and over again

[@Shelbert88]

I remember exactly when I joined because it was just as Malzahar got his first rework in 2012. I got Annie by default and was constantly grinding to get this cool purple wizard just to find out I was complete ass with him 😭 I loved the old dominion game! You brought back memories my guy!

[@Richi0h]

Me going into old champ select and saying "fill" i.e. Support.

[@m8_981]

Started Season 2 and actually had fun. We grinded our account to level 30 (cap that time) in like 2 weeks holidays. Quit in season 6 and a few more times but im happy to completely quit.

[@zaronatic]

Man old volibear, old akali made me sad man I miss them so much

[@tastefullynerdy1161]

Old League was something special. Nuking noobs with Karma's mantra'd shield in 3v3 or Dominion gave me so much endorphine

[@cattysplat]

Old LoL has that DotA DNA running deep, especially in the art style of the old client. Everyone wanted to be carry to just auto attack to victory, nobody wanted to be support because you'd be poor all game. Every season has made it easier and more fun to play support since. Rune pages were terrible pay to win/grindfest just to be on equal footing with others.

[@LoLbeautifulsorrowx]

I miss Twister Treeline, fuck man. Legit made me sad. I loved ranked.

[@dbldunk]

RIP twisted treeline. That shit was so fun

[@TheSuperMonkeyman141]

Hide and seek was peak league of legends experience for me. Still chasing that high I got from playing it with a large group of friends

[@hubuucs]

Such a nostalgic trip of a video, only two minutes in but subbed and liked, awesome work man. Sitback and enjoy type shi

[@prok3jpeg]

I started playing League in season 2. I love the shlllt out of this game.

[@LH_Vagrant]

Can we please have a S1-S2 classic version tho? The game felt so much better back then, and not just because of nostalgia. It was the weaknesses. Every champ sucked in most everything and you had to play around their 1 or 2 strengths. That made the team dynamic so much more interesting. This insane assassin? Yeah, they can't farm to save their life and need to be babysat for quite a bit. That amazing support? Yeah, they deal absolutely no damage whatsoever and have no concept of movement. Overcoming those weaknesses as a team was great. If it clicked in terms of composition and plays, it felt amazing. If something was off, you'd damn well feel it.

[@CosmicXenor]

I'm so fcking sad that they removed Twisted Treeline and Dominion. I played these modes so much often and I really miss them. And they were PERMANENT. In normal 5v5 also nobody cared about what you're playing. It was much more chilled than these days.

[@raininheart9967]

seeing this in a sunday night hurts, but god now how happy i was and i will be in near future

[@fipeke]

This has made me realise that I started playing in season 1 when i was like 10 years old and didn't know shit. I've since quit League because it changed way too much. Rip old Twisted Treeline.

[@acurite6905]

Idk if anyone mentioned this yet but old Diana also restored mana on her passive cleave which as a Diana main was a painful change 🥲

[@allanagh1023]

I wish they had a mode where you could play old champions before they all had reworks 😫

[@Kavou]

S1 veteran here. I stopped at S5 but damn LoL was surely beyond fun back then, you could connect with anyone at work or school.

[@BrandonMart1011]

I started playing when Varus got released, crazy the days where youd type "ADC" to a friend to copy and paste it and then spam paste once you got to champ select lmao what a time to game

[@zfxsky9359]

you did NOT miss with this video. Twas indeed like falling in love. i miss s3 and on forth so much

[@ActuallyAlasar]

Man old league looks so much more fun. I love the style actually.

[@cimyjr]

I miss the old LoL so much 😢😢😢

[@crimsonblood01]

I'd love to see a rotating "vanilla" league game mode

[@audiandc2295]

ay man thanks for reminding me how precious the game was back in the day. This game saved me alot when i was bored. Funny how you started too when you was about to go in highschool.

[@Tk_destroyer139]

Old ryze was the most spectacular investment in history

[@therealjay5731]

In so lucky to be the few who experienced league during its hay days. Started playing around 11-12 and i was the same age. Good times😂

[@beelor3111]

Loved this video man! Definitely laughed at the humor you brought into this vid with the nostalgia! Keep up the great work!
