I just found out about this custom skin and holy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHCIUbjbin4
Just imagine the tons of cool things they could do with his stacks upgrades changing his forms, its absolutely insane that instead of that he barely even get anything and whe he does, it just kinda slop skins.
Its gotten to the point where even Extreme person (one of the last few high mmr classic players that still streams) is on the verge of quitting it.
Can we get alteast a riot aknowledgement that they're looking at the issue? Dynamic queue doesnt work and we already know what happened last time they tried it on the live server, less than 1 year of dynamic queue almost killed the entire game, and on classic, where we dont have the luxury of a massive playerbase, so it certainly will kill the game if left as it is.
u/PhreakRiot please find a solution to this, limit premade sizes above diamond to 2, or make it so 5 man premades can ONLY be matched vs other 5 mans, then remove 4 stacks aswell s
At this point i think its obvious the game is about to be dead, bots running wild in low mmr, nobody is playing in high mmr, nobody is streaming it anymore as there is no competitive play so nobody is interested without ranked or anything to play for, queue times are long so matchmaking is completely fked, and its not a couple new champs every 2 weeks or a month that will solve any of this.
Personally i think the only thing they can do is close down classic for some months, then re-launch it as the season 3 worlds patch that phreak said he has, with every single thing that was in the game at that point, no modern skins or any of that bullshit in it, ranked and normal games available, no
And before you go its a bad time or whatever, its freaking 4 pm on my server...
Like yeah, tried to get some games in to finally level my main, and look at that! in salt 3 btw LMAO and i already have these queue times because my mmr is high from retail, and if i get matched into a game its probably going to be vs a full premade anyways while im queing solo with some first timers on my team.
Love to see it, but classic needs no changes am i right now i need to stop whining! Having to create new accounts with no mmr to even have playable queue times is fine guys, and then
They didnt even add any champs... Lux is still there with her modern VFX and VO (seriously, shes been due to get this ever since the INITIAL PBE PATCH, its been that + 2 entire patches of nothing), janna trynd ashe sivir all with their updated classic skins, sona and tons of other champs still with their modern VO...
This is not even mentioning on how no old model skins were added either (or any skin really), no new runes added either while we still have tons of missing runes.
I hate to be a downer, but are they just giving up on the mode or what? Playerbase dropping with each week, queue times increasing and we just get a patch full of basically nothing? All the rioters that used to post
Like for starters, you can climb to legend wit ha NEGATIVE WIN RATE by playing enough games... This is not a ranked system where your gains are directly correlated to your mmr, the entire system just catapults you foward until you hit the highest rank (with it slowing a bit in diamond, but you still gain more than you lose in diamond so you WILL climb as long as you play games).
That in itself makes the entire premise of having some kind of competitive enviroment completely null, now something else which is just as bad, there are NO LEADERBOARDS IN THE GAME OR ANYWHERE, you literally cannot tell whos legend or whos what, not even outside the game on sites such op gg, how are ppl going to wa
Its not really a bug but it seems like a big oversight... Because as it is you know, whenever you die the optimal way to play the game is to buy as much gp10s you can while you're dead (you can even sell your items for that), and as you respawn you undo them and basically just get free gold.
Its cool at first but its kinda boring having to do that every time, they should probably address this sooner than later.
I know its not the oldest item, but its from season 5... Playing lux on classic it really feels you have not a single good item to rush and old ludens was great for long range poke champs like her, who cant use dfg or other good rush items (like abyssal) very well.
From what im seeing, the biggest issue with classic atm seems to be matchmaking, which is just putting ppl who have never played the mode with ppl that has played more than 100 games together (just because someone is emerald in retail doesnt mean they have an idea wtf to do on classic, i see those players looking like bronze in classic games, doing everything wrong and being completely lost).
Then you add with the fact most streamers and other ppl are starting to lose interest since just playing normals with horrible matchmaking is only tolerable for so long, having to deal with 4~5 premades, and the multitude of issues that comes with, it seems clear to be that a ranked queue is the #1 thi
Yeah her state is a bit abysmal on classic, shes not that great early game because her mana costs are high and base damages are rather low, and then she basically doesnt scale either since all her ap ratios as so low...
Ive tried support but she falls off way too hard, you can just build utility/aura items but then you're just a worse janna, lulu or sona, and mid she kinda gets outlaned and outscaled by almost everything.
Hopefully she'll get some buffs on the first balance patch.
Like seriously, give us the right OG model, this one!
