[@KiyanPocket]

Late game champions have been getting stronger and stronger anyway, too many teams just pick the late game champion and never get punished for sitting back & playing safe because they scale. Most people don't play League to just farm minions and jungle, otherwise they would just go into practice tool or against bots. The boot upgrades and the new River Monster will encourage more fighting.

Hi riot. Just a suggestion "season" Has been tied to your yearly update since LoL first launched in 2010. To avoid confusion you might wanna go with another word for your "quadrimester update".

Multiplayer practice tool is a great Idea, not necessarily for „getting better“ but simply for trying out interactions. Just a few weeks ago, I was in a Ranked game with a friend, and I didn’t know the exact interaction between my and an enemies ult. So I was hesitant to use mine. After that, I would have loved to jump into practice tool with my friend, just to check out this interaction. But we were not going into a custom game, to farm for 5 minutes to get level 6, fumble the timing and wait another 2 minutes for our ults to come back.

As a long term player of League of Legends, the clarity of communication, vision, and consistency of message across multiple formats is awesome. Regardless of how players feel about changes, it's clear that we feel informed enough to debate and discuss the game we love. That being said, I am incredibly excited for themed seasons, additional team objectives around the map to further increase map pressure and control as a core element.

[@Thatcoolvietkid]

All of these changes sound good and I think we’re headed in the right direction

[@RiotGGMattB]

Glad to hear it! We're always out there listening for feedback, and the team is really excited for Season 1!

​@@RiotGGMattB it's been 2 years since I last played league and this is making me excited again lol

[@MilanDmm]

@@Thatcoolvietkid only thing I disagree with is respawning nexus towers. Backdooring has been a core part of the game since launch I don’t see any reason to get rid of. In the rare games in esports where a backdoor happens its also the most hype thing ever.

[@LT_I_AM]

​@RiotGGMattB I was frustrated with only the same champions getting content over and over like Caitlyn VS Alistar with 1000 days without anything. Every change on the video seems really good, only thing I would add is a bit more focus to champions that are forsaken like a Singed ASU for example

I actually really like these changes.

[@sr_yang549]

Dear designer, can we keep the Bridge of Progress, along with the previous Butcher's Bridge by Bill Gwater? There are a total of three random maps, with only one big brawl on the interface. When a person is matched, they will randomly enter one of the big brawl maps. This is cool, isn't it? It also adds a lot of fun, making the game more possible, with each having its own advantages, but overall it is still the same line. We hope you can seriously consider this issue, not just take a look, and let those fun modes be buried,

[@KrazyCouch2]

The fact that quickplay is the only mode you can play before you've unlocked enough to play draft means that swiftplay is such a stupid decision unless you can also give another option for people who haven't unlocked draft because then players aren't even allowed to play proper SR except co-op vs AI.

LoL Dev Team really change my view toward the game itself, they really bring new theme maps with noticeable changes aka fresh air for players. Moreover, Multi-player Practice Tool is a great thing, I mean that can you imagine the amount of contents that YTB or content creators will make from it. LoL is being revived! Exciting to Dive in 2025 League of Legends!!! Thanks

Winter map when?

[@isaaclong4819]

I don’t understand how snowballing will be reduced when we are adding a new epic monster spawning early and new boots that are tied to early game

[@fishpig003]

Baron buff is absent for an additional 25% of the game and early game goals provide for more direction for player to tink about working for the goal rather than inting into a fight every 1.5 mins. Now there is far more to do pre-10 mins than League 2 years ago and their changes with grubbies was great

8:12 a buff that seems good on paper but won't be taken by any team that knows what they're doing. They'll use the time it takes to take it to gain a way bigger lead than a GA buff that they can just proc a little later, one by one. It'll be a bait in low elo.
