League of Legends is Removing the Level Cap

>League of Legends made a series of massive announcements on Friday that detailed plans to reimburse players for past rune purchases, remove the level cap, and merge IP with Blue Essence.

>Remember the level 30 cap?” the Riot Pls post read. “It’s gone, and it’s being replaced with a revamped rewards system that levels up with you. Instead of getting IP after every game, you’ll receive an unlocked chest—called a capsule—every time you level up. These capsules contain champ shards and blue essence, and if you hit special milestone levels, you’ll earn special rewards like gemstones or hella rare emotes.”

tl;dr League is making their level system like Overwatch's. You get lootboxes ever level now. Have mercy.

You mean like HotS.

No one plays Hots.

>2017
>ASSFAGGOTS
kys

No one plays League anymore

Does this mean they are removing Runes too? Runes are shit.

Lol

They're doing something, but it's so fucking weird.

If they weren't losing people, they wouldn't make a drastic change like they are

They're merging runes and masteries into a single free system

Keep telling yourself that while you cry over the corpse of your ded assfaggot

I dont care for LoL either, but no one plays Hots.

May I ask your basis for this claim?

Oh I could bet my ass it will end up being the same fucking "make sure this character has only 1 way to build it" bullshit LoL loves.

>My Ass

Hots is worst than league somehow..just a game for blizzdrones to jerk their micro-dicks over for giving them all their shekels through "content"

This has been in the works since two seasons ago when they introduced chests. What is it with you guys always claiming League is dying? It's literally a self-sustainable economy at this point.

The buzzwords count is astonishing. Can you please provide us more premade Sup Forums statements? Do the one about everything but DoTA2 being bad for reasons

um it isn't csgo or dota where valve literally double dips with the markeplace

>league
fuck off redit

I don't understand what that has to do with anything.

Runes are probably half the reason I jumped ship to Dota 2 as soon I possibly could. Even if you like the customisation they give you it's such a terrible implementation.

LITERALLY DOTA 2

League exists solely to make you spend money. The game itself is shallow and only serves as a means to make you spend more money. Everything in the game is made to make you feel like a wallet being squeezed. The gameplay is just themepark feel good shit to keep casuals from becoming frustrated and allowing to spend $30 on the next epic skin. It's insane how much of a skinner box games have become to where it's a perfected art. There's players who admit that they are addicted even though they should stop.

It actually makes it easier to spec champs into an off-meta role, as they're more impactful. Your role dictates what you spec into (and it can be changed at-will during champ select), and your champ will dictate how you play in that role.

However, it does widen the gap between meta and off-meta champions, as they're not impactful enough to do something like take Aatrox or Shyvanna into the game (unless you're low-elo and nothing matters). But it opens alot for neta champions to flex.

>Getting 24% back on my rune purchases
>losing 46k ip worth of value
>also losing rune pages and speedy specter rune

People who bought champions didn't lose 76% of their value. They even even got to utilize 1 ip tier 2s. People who bought tier 3 runes got fucked not once but twice when they didn't even have to.

FOR WHAT PURPOSE

>Have Mercy

Trust me I'd love to

This is them consolidating the entire system. Underneath, it's so they can remove Ip completely and put you in the random system that games like Dota and OW have. It's pretty much the new jew move to do. League was just steadily turning it on so there wouldnt be a large outcry. There's no reason to play this game. It's literally a casino game at this point, except you dont get money back,.

How the game is played is not dictated by how the shop functions. The only argument one might have is that new champions are intentionally busted so people spend money to get them and freelo, but look at Ornn. He's fucking trash, and he's not the first champ to be trash on release. Rito just sucks at balance until the champ has been around for a year, and even then they still kinda suck.

Riot not caring for balance is exactly why the game is made to spend money on. That's entirely Omn's purpose and any new champ's purpose. It's also why they raise Ip prices to 7200 during the first week to force players to spend money.

And here i thought it couldn't get any worse

>Still get IP after matches (as blue essence)
>But now you also get a small bonus from a champ shard every now and then
>Completely random

No ?

It's not that they don't care, they care alot. They just suck at it. And the IP is raised to make money (because it's a business, surprise surprise), but also because new players do not need to be playing brand new champs who were designed with the meta in mind. It mitigates not only poor match health by putting in the hands of people who want to invest alot into the new champ, or who have been playing for so long that IP doesn't matter, and they can fit the champ into the meta based on their experience, but also by lowering the amount of game breaking horseshit that can happen because Rito sucks at balance.

Seriously, dude. Take the tinfoil off.

>but also because new players do not need to be playing brand new champs who were designed with the meta in mind
I hate this argument especially since it ignores that players always have preferences regardless of what Mother Riot thinks.

He is not wrong though, riot is getting more greedy with every passing year. I remember when they used to give out free skins and RP on events and holidays but that changed over the years. Not to mention that they stopped to give you 2skins with every new hero but now give 1 insted.

But lets be honest, at this point they cant do anything to balance out the game, there are like +100 heroes at this point and its impossible to balance things out + every month or two a another new hero,

the 100+ heroes is another reason why being competitive at this game is a nightmare. Along with how they change shit every season so their playerbase cant get bored. I just play when my casual friends ask me and I just go into a game wrecking with King Mordekaiser.

They had a chance to make new players get characters and runes easier and they didint.

This is Tencent Riot. The Chinese Jews only see their players as bags of money. They can care less about some few people complaining cause they know they have an entire cult continuing to play it.

But it's still true. The reason LoL is so popular is because of it's strong, steady meta. The meta is more important than any one player. There's plenty of ASSFAGGOTS out there that reward individual preference, but LoL is not one for them. If you don't want to adhere to a strict but somewhat flexible meta, then the game is not for you.

I don't get it, weren't people complaining about the rune system being bad because it was gated behind money and experience? Why are people complaining now that they're making it free and available to everyone?

>because of it's strong, steady meta
There is no steady meta, especially since every patch fucks up a character or two, and every season fucks up the entire game. Thats why every patch in fighting games upsets the meta. League does it 20 times a year.

Wrong, they drastically change the game every year because they don't want the meta to get stagnant. SKT keeps winning because the meta is roughly the same. This time, it may not be the case next season.

>Along with how they change shit every season so their playerbase cant get bored.

not to mention patches every two weeks or so that make some heroes total trash and some OP for the next week days before this rotates again. The game is a mess to keep up

The refund is about 18% of what people paid for through IP. And BE is their new jew cash.

Think about this their isnt any lvl so that means scrubs who didnt even try to learn the game will be all piled up into ranked even harder.Bronze is gonna grow so much larger.

>weren't people complaining about the rune system being bad because it was gated behind money and experience?

The thing is that runers were not paid, you could not buy runes with real money. You had to grinds for months in order to buy thousands of runes for champ/role so you could be competitive. But people will get next to nothing in return

The meta basically shifts between glass cannons and tanks, with utility peppered here and there. It's pretty steady. Which glass cannon or tank is the most meta changes alot, but the root principle remains the same.

The root principle doesnt matter when the new meta means playing new champs, matchups, and teams. There's barely a staple amount of heroes for specific roles.

>buy thousands of runes
lol i've got 40 runes and 4 pages nigga wat

>not having most runes and 20 pages to be versatile across roles

I had to adapt when I use to play league competitively cause of casual kids who dont know how to play as a team

>And BE is their new jew cash.
It's just IP but renamed, nothing's changed in that front except now disenchanting loot shit gives you IP, which is an improvement.

I have like 7 pages full of runes + different ones for each set and hero which is close to like 100.

And this was around the time runes were insantly expensive and you were getting jack shit IP for wins. I spent more time grinding for runes than actual champions.

>all those 2K runes I spent time and IP on and I only get 100 of them

Yeah and it took months of grinding since 2009. Are you seriously defending the shitty rune system?

i was consider returning then this time i would be super casual about it


how do you play lee sin jungle in this new age faglords?

Because 18% the average isn't honest. 75-90% would be at least honest. It ought to be as close to 100% of average just because they actually can.

Cassiopea has never left the mid meta, nor has Viktor, LeBlanc, Anivia, etc. Shit, when So came out he was shitstomped everyone except Anivia because her troll-wall fucked his waveclear and so she cleared faster than he did, which gated his roam and his power spike. So what your saying is just flat wrong.

The same you always did. Desperately try to make plays early game before you become useless, fail, ragequit.

>Cassiopea has never left the mid meta, nor has Viktor, LeBlanc, Anivia

The exact same way. The only difference would be if you never played after they changed how smite works. Get red smite, build Black Cleaver, then get tanky as fuck and insec fuccbois.

Fuck up bronze 5, i bet you are brazilian/peruvian isn't ? disgusting creature.

What are you implying? That they have? Because they literally haven't. People still take Karthus mid in Challenger and carry games with him. Where are your sources from? Your ass?

Cassio lost being in meta since her first rework up until her most recent rework, Viktor's E change made him fall out of meta, Leblanc is the only one you've said that comes close to being meta and Anivia, holy fuck man she hasn't been good since s3.
1-3 people playing X champ in challenger != Meta

Your English is shit, Red. Go back to Dota.

Do the Blem strat.

Full cheese a kill and snowball. If it fails tilt bot lane so they can carry you.

so now you have to unlock characters through "booster packs" or "chests" this sounds like trash.

basically its just adding more grinding for the same thing while claiming its better.

this is pathetic.

I just hope it doesn't mean you can make ranked capable accounts in a day. That would make permabans pointless and would make the game's community even worse.

No you dumbfuck.
