i used to be in the early alpha for the Client, back then when it was still in the early phases it looked alot similar to this, the animations were close to this and they were amazing to look at. Halfway through the Alpha all up to near release, things were adjusted for performance purposes, because the client relied too much on the GPU, and there were people who would have constant crashes or a laggy experience with certain systems. not to mention having it run in the background would mean the in game frame rate would be affected. Basically. We had this, but to make the game more accessible for people they cut down animations for the sake of resource management for users on low end hardware.

[@braeden5118]

The lack of animations is due to laziness and corner cutting. I just about threw up when i realised that not only is the client years old, but is just HTML wrapped in a client window. HTML is incredibly diverse and lightweight. But there is a reason why when developing heftier websites people use a number of languages each specialising in a particular aspect. The reason the shop, inventory and profile screens always mess up is that you are basically loading a website inside the client everytime you open that tab. It is slow, buggy, and tempermental compared to normal selection screens. Animations cant be integrated because that would require a rewrite of the entire client into a more stable and robust environment. That costs money, Riot gains nothing from remaking the client since people begrudgingly use it none the less. Riot-monetary-gains gets no immediate income from doing it, so they wont. Not until the point where fixing it would cost more than making a new one.

[@tptcx]

the client actually bugs less on my laptop from 7 years ago compared to my pc that i built 2 years ago, which is funny because league runs horribly on that laptop(40-60fps medium on laptop, above 140fps maxed out on pc). a rewrite of the code for the client would probably be better for optimization across all kinds of devices but lets face it they're not gonna do shit about it

There's still a place for eye candy though, I love your transition from accepting the game into champion select.

Been playing League since Vi's release, so many client iterations have passed, and this concept looks amazing btw!

These animations are great and all but i like it more simple, don't want to get a seizure before the match even starts.

[@An_Average_Idiot]

Every time I see wild rift get mentioned, my brain just starts chanting the words "exclusive skins" which tunes out everything else.

[@jeppeboe96]

These animations should be added after the client is stable.

[@tobidobidu1129]

I remember the uproar when they remade the client a couple of years ago. As per usual, people were upset at stuff changing. But the prospect of having a working client with good animations was able to contain the fanbase a bit. Looking back, Riot made a damn lot of false promises with the client we now have.

[@kamenzhelyazkov8575]

but rather, you open profile tab - collection tab opens instead, you try to open a box or capsule, it asks you to open another one then notifies you with error message, try to purchase a champion - unexpected error occurred...

[@sadvec6328]

The client barely works as it should, this is asking a lemon tree for a fried chicken and a big coke

[@willl5659]

Yep, it's honestly just the old code holding it back. League of Legends 2 needs to happen due to how archaic the systems are, but that's not coming for like another 25 years, then we need a new one at that point.

[@catanothercat7200]

i agree put the shit the not careness not fucking anything. to the league of legends 2. make all the shit rito corporation wants in that game. so we can seperate 2009-2019 from the shit that now is

[@sicaontwitch6084]

I think this would be nice, but in my opinion, instead of updating or "improving" the client we already have, why not do it good but from scratch, and potentially avoiding a lot of problems you have right now or the new fixes encountering issues with already extisting features. And maybe in the way of building the client that appears on the video or simply just a better one, they might think of new things to add. I guess the thing with riot is that they're trying to fix up a blanket with patches and at last, they ended up with a blanket solely made up of patches.

[@DDilacerante]

That actually looks really cool and would be great to have it, but honestly all we want is a stable client that actually works.

[@eagle5818]

0:39 bro the old aatrox and galio... damn

[@Cydonia.]

Honestly I prefer the one that we have now, I'm sick of overstimulation. The way you designed it is super cool and creative but it's really too much information, I like things simple

[@spinninglotus7252]

Agreed, it's way too much

[@KidGamingFTW]

@@spinninglotus7252 turn off animations then? Tf? We all gotta suffer because some of you losers are overstimulated?

[@Astrobytes_]

it looks so nice :(

[@MisterMusicArchive]

75 years ago with that 200 years experience

[@Maxiiee]

Everything with the banking phase was amazing love the music

[@biged7415]

Looks really cool, except for the 3d characters in champ select.

[@RemusNeo]

That's from wild rift. :D

[@tostupidforname]

I hate the way wild rift looks

[@ptbro3334]

It's just mobile game,nobody takes it seriously

[@christianprevost8455]

wild rift look better than pc tought

[@tostupidforname]

@@christianprevost8455 Does it though? It has better animations for sure but the asthetics really put me off. Its a bit hard to describe

[@Smirving]

@@christianprevost8455 yeah but pc still is more fun to play and pc players are not entitled as wr players they are toxic af tho :D

[@christianprevost8455]

@@Smirving pc are toxic as fuck

[@Branch_2000]

I think the entire purpose for their current setup is for players with computers that don't run very well. League was meant to run on a potato, so we need potato animations.

[@Daiyuki117]

That Wild Rift animated champ preview must be inspired from Heroes of the Storm's QM queue

[@Ardkun00]

I wish they ran the same code, we could still have game modes on different maps. But they changed how custom games work since the client update.

[@OnlyOneElton]

Lmao I felt like the ekko line was an attack on the current client "you used to be cool"

[@ArtXploud]

back in 2016, just before the full rework of the client, we had a version for the pick/ban where the champion's images were like cards instead of full background images. That was actually the smoothest version we ever had and I loved it, but only lasted like for one season until the Rework.

[@SlowedOutOfExistence]

Guys the problem with the client is not the animations. It is the server. Animations lag are due to a potato computer

[@aspynkong]

i actually like the wild rift one bc we get to see the skins i think that'd be cool to have in the pc version

[@Furious321]

Ah, that Worlds 2016 music. Still the single best official theme from Riot, in my opinion.

[@ZennyTheMama]

Seeing old galio, old splash art darius and old fiddle makes me feel old

[@LegendJim]

I find it funny how heimerdinger is written in greek for whatever reason

[@yammoto148]

I would like the login screens from the old client, and the ability to choose the champion displayed and the music played.

[@reapii666]

Honestly they could make it an option if they made it. So low performance PC's can run the launcher and those who would potentially wanna turn the animations off could do so.

[@RIFLABACONBBX]

damn that transition from the match found screen to champion select was sick

[@mitchellthomas3359]

Client we have now: “challenges are now available”

[@Klaww_lol]

When a few guys in their rooms are more creative than entire company.

[@mariannapapikyan4123]

There should be on/off button to disable the effects and animations for people who don't like it, this will fix the issue while everyone else would get they cool animated client

[@PlzDuntCensorME]

You know it's old when you see the mastery pages, aatrox's icon, and evelynn's icon.

[@berksaglam876]

I played wild rift only few times but the way the game starts after the client counts down is so ccol. The charecters dissepearing one by one and teleporting to the rift gives you the feeling you as the player are on the rift to fight now

[@CAT-ko4kc]

Damn the nostalgia hits harder than the rock that killed the dinos

[@kilo69ify]

The only thing I wish they would’ve kept from the old client was the original ranked music god if that wasn’t the most intense soundtrack

[@jalionencarton]

0:10 omfg this is so clean

[@Osjey]

honestly in League you just want to get to the next game, fancy animations just slow down the whole pick and ban phase and get annoying after a while. I just don't want to DC in the middle of picking my champ, and right before hitting enter, randomly get another champ selected.

[@pawewaz1356]

imagine hearing this song in champ select goosebumps

[@horsethehorse3969]

Meanwhile in the alternate universe where that client was implemented: Bugs bugs bugs, more bugs, those are bugs, bugs everywhere

[@mauinisikawa1808]

I need nothing but a client that I can see my match history, change my runes, select my champion and all those basic stuff without getting into a bug

[@marcosmauricio7805]

Damn, man. I miss old draft, really made you feel like you were playing a serious game.

[@JOZUWE]

the best thing is the epic music

[@dogownerjr]

I can only hope that they're already working on a new client in the background in secret. But this is Riot Games I'm talking about...

[@yugiohfan54321]

Don't we all just love how League's progressing backwards. :')

[@Sudascai]

riot's fr going off the ideology of: "if it's not broken, don't fix it"

[@victor-oh]

I mean, it's really easy to render animations not on real time. But they really need to crack down on the real-time aspects of this client just bugging out frequently

[@cceilai]

i think it's very nice but pretty dramatic at the same time but having it as the champ selection for clash doesn't seem too bad

[@brezilianpope]

Love how the champions are juste there physically

[@xNFR]

i want that wild rift feature where every skin has a animation in the client....

[@puffcap_]

i dont know how they havent just jumped ship. I know its easy to say just do it, but they have the resources to do it. Gather the data for accounts and make sure it loads and updates, and then pump it into a modern launcher made from the ground up

[@KuroiShiAnimu]

I'm still waiting for them to instantly cancel the Match Found pop up when someone declines

[@alexdewhurst2064]

I have a modern laptop and every time the game ends my entire computer freezes for 15 seconds while the client loads back up.

[@cyrene03]

man these animations look so mesmerizing
