      they talk about seasonal content, you see, they grab a lot of money now with gacha and batle pass, but you will get every season a new map design, new objectives, customized items, and the fact that they reworked honor system to give some better bonuses for having a lvl 4 or 5 is cool, i personally love to gain more battle pass xp, cause usually i farm about 4000 tokens in a pass and always wish to get more. we'll also get a more consistent battle pass that's going to be active every month, and cut a lot of middleware essentially getting the rewards straight of the pass, no more chest + key = chest + key + essence, then you open that chest and it's 10 me, then you have to spend it on a skin shard and then open that shard and so on. it's everything simplified now

      The ratio about what you pay / what you get (so you want that) is really worse with gacha. Previous system you pick what you want, and if you have not f2p option, buy it.

So If it was the average outcome for everyone I'd say it's bad but not SUPER bad as it's almost 100€ in RP if you had bought said skins. However of course if you're only interested in Jinx skin it's still really bad.

    • @XoIoRouge
      @XoIoRouge 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      15 year old code can't just be "updated" - I'm sure you're aware of how small that word is for how much work has to actually be done.
      At this point in time though, I think "fixing" and "updating" the code is going to be significantly more challenging than rebuilding it. I think they should spend time and money on actually recreating the entire engine using more modern libraries.

      @@XoIoRouge The game is SO OLD at this point that the game engine is COMPLETELY outdated and has been for QUITE some time now, while the game isn't very resource intensive to begin with (by design ofc) modern hardware STILL struggles to see high FPS due to this limitation. Now you include the YEARS AND YEARS of spaghetti code (code that doesn't make sense BUT has to be in there for the game to function at all) this only exacerbates the issues. They'll have to completely rewrite the entire game in a new game engine, figure out how to port peoples accounts over, all while still maintaining and even updating the game on it's current game engine...this will/does (there are rumors of them doing this) put a LOT of stress on the employees and the money situation as a whole. Riot is just stupid (GREEDY AS HELL) and has seen COUNTLESS other companies and games implementing this kind of "Loot Box" strategy with getting away with it or at the very worst get hit with a fine for like 10% OF WHAT THEY MADE DOING THIS (and removing said loot boxes)....meaning they'll pocket MOST of the money they made and have no real consequences IF anything happens at all.
      TLDR: Another games company sees another company in their industry getting away with shady a** s*** and say WHY DON'T WE DO IT TOO MORE PROFIT and the people who complain while kind of loud will be no issue since we are RAKING IN THE CASH BABY

    Also i've seen that a lot of people are missing a major point. In basically all gacha games (like Genshin or anything similar), yes they have this thing, BUT if you want you can spend nothing and accumulate pulls by just playing the game with missions, daily rewards etc etc. So you can still pull while being completely free to play. Here Riot doesn't do it, if you want to pull you'll have to spend money. That's a vert big difference

    • @benji-menji
      @benji-menji 10 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      The possibility of playing to get stuff for free is a terrible excuse that I still don't understand. It costs people's time to play these games after all. I can also presume that there at least a couple games where the time playing is less cost effective than what most paychecks can offer.
      Even then, no game is entitled to give players the big thing. If the game suspects a possible customer, it will do everything it can to ensure the purchase which can cause it to fudge rolls to make that happen regardless of the consequences.

      @manuelbonelli3690 10 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      @@benji-menji I am not really sure what is your point. Mine was that in gacha games you can both enjoy the game and get access to the limited content without spending money. With Riot you can't do it unless you pay. That's the difference. Maybe I didn't explain it well

    • @benji-menji
      @benji-menji 10 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +1

      @manuelbonelli3690 That limited content often requires playing the games for a variable but usually long amount of time. It may not seem like it, but time is a real cost that everyone spends without thinking if it was a good trade. There are many more games that give more for your time and money than mobile games.
      For example, I have given a good amount of my time understanding Cortex Command Community Project and have been rewarded with a really fun sandbox and PvE experience for PC. Kartrider: Drift on the other hand I only get some arguably mid karts and character skins for a $5 pass a friend bought. The game would later add predatory mechanics from previous live service Kartriders Nexon killed that I was hoping wasn't returning. This isn't even considering that the game shutdown overseas later anyway. I could have spent that time playing SRB2Kart or Ring Racers instead.

    • @drunkshinx
      @drunkshinx 8 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      it's also that gacha games are just that, gacha games. People know going into the game that it is designed around gambling for in-game rewards and can choose to not play if they don't want that. League isn't a gacha game so people don't know that there is going to be gambling real money in it. Then there is also people who have been playing already and maybe even spent money on (non gambling) skins who are less likely to leave because of the time and money they put in.

      I bet this is a similar issue to the current Mojang lawsuit idea.
      No idea if you followed it but the guy first wanted to go through the countries legal system, where a private person could get up to 100h or legal assistance payed by their country.
      100h of legal council though are not nearly enough needed to enforce laws onto those large companies.
      Also a lot of lawyers won't take these cases, because they get payed maybe a third of their usual salary. So only inexperienced lawyers will take the case and they will most likely loose to the experienced ones paid by huge companies.
      So if a country were to hire the necessary personell to try and take those bad practices down and actually enforce their laws, they'd have to either pay much more than tax money available or get inexperienced lawyers to represent the state.

      10 Lux could be fine, 5 Luxes changing their elemental at the same time may cause issues. 10 Lux could be fine, some other random "true," ultimate skin coupled with others may cause issues.

      That being said, if that is an issue, they should just allow you to have an option setting to turn off skin particles and effects.

    Edit: Welp... You said it later, so... GG, *_BUT..._* It does not matter if its "internal currency" or whatever BS. If you have to go through 1000 steps of buying something through, you HAVE to declare the price on *_every single thing that can be bought,_* being it in RL money, RP, BE, heaps of shid, blood, Tears of Yasuo players, sticks or Minecraft Dirt Blocks

    Hi from Belgium here.
    I have actually been in contact before with the people that were in charge of making those lootboxes illegal in our country. The sad reality is that, while it's a law now, the government doesn't want to spend any more money towards this group to continue it's efforts. Hence why no other games have been affected by this, apart from the very few games that simply pull their game from being playable in Belgium. For Instance Pokemon Unite will shut down in Belgium and the Netherlands in 2025, or previously for instance Animal Crossing Pocket Camp in 2019.
    TL;DR: It comes down to the developers and/or publishers to follow the law, as this law exists, but sadly enough is not enforced.

    The problem with ultimate skins being hard on memory and the engine is mainly because of Elementalist Lux. When you pick Elementalist Lux the engine has to load all the skins meaning you're "playing" 10 champions and thus doubling the amount of champions in a match. This is why two people picking the Elementalist Lux skin in One for All was crashing games and why Riot said they wouldn't make another skin like Elementalist Lux.

If you don't like new stuff, buy the old one. If you don't like ANYTHING, then don't buy anything. They don't care about complains, they care about the amount of money they get. If complaints result in them making less money, they will stop. But since this is definetely NOT happening, there is your answer.

      People who say this is optional won't buy a 10$ skin nor a 1000$ skin - they're choosing to not buy skins.

Now they will change that again and combine with pass but in rewards there is no mentioning how will we acquire chest, not to mention that they will "remove" reroll system and skin shards for F2P.

    In Belgium, loot boxes in games like League of Legends could be illegal because they are seen as a form of gambling. Players spend money for a random chance to get in-game items, which can be similar to betting. Belgian laws protect players, especially minors, from gambling, and loot boxes could violate these rules. The Belgian Gaming Commission has already said that loot boxes in other games were illegal, and if they work the same way, League of Legends could face the same issue.

    Valve's Dota2 is famous/infamous for its creation of Battlepass/Compendium and profiting huge number each year from it. However, they chose to abandon the model this year, citing the fact that it mainly caters to Whale, who make up only a fraction of the playerbase, and they want more players to have access to cosmetic items. This resulted in a plummeting prizepool for The International and anxiety over the game's fate for players.
    Then they put together the Crownfall event, which is amazing and offers something for all players. Free players can win cosmetic just by playing, premium players can buy expansions and receive high tier cosmetics with no gacha, and whales can buy every expansion in every act to unlock the event's finale style of unique prestige items tied to the event.
    Unlike Battlepass, which allows you to top up to receive lootboxes indefinitely (our Saudi prince is renowned for purchasing $10,000+ Battlepass each year), expansion may only be purchased once each act.
    Dota2 sale in this event does not contribute to the prize pool like Battlepass, hence the exact amount is unknown. However, I hope more games adopt it because it is far superior and more fair business model.

  • @makimoke

    I used to play League very sporadically from Season 3, then a lot more at Season 7 when I had some friends to play it with. I kept playing it for quite a while, and even though I'm not that good at it, I still had fun, and the game had a fairly reasonably priced structure once runes weren't a paying thing anymore. So I paid for a few rune pages and a few skins and kept playing for years.
    However the more of those "250$" skins came about, the more the game started to break. I started to play less and less. And when they announced the Faker Ahri skin, I uninstalled the game, and I have not touched it ever since. While I kinda miss playing at times, every single time that I look into "new content", all that is available is now gacha, less rewarding mechanics for actually playing the game, more problems and yet no fixing some issues that have been there since I starting playing it seriously in Season 7 (maybe longer than that for those that played for longer than I did), I keep thinking to myself "This was the right decision".
    Every time whenever a ridiculously expensive skin appears, the matter of "This is a luxury item, if you don't like the price tag it's not for you" has always irked me. I go into League playing it for its honestly pretty fun controls, unique characters and gameplay, that quite a few have tried to copy, but failed. I go into League to play a game. I'm not going into League to buy Louis Vuitton-priced digital "merch" that is being shoved on my eyes every time I go into the loot tab to fuse my inexorable amount of key fragments. Heck, even LV would be a better luxury buy because I'd at least get a physical bag outta that and way better "street cred" than "I have a new 250$ skin on League".
    When they announced the PVE/Survivors-like mode a while back now, I even considered reinstalling to give it a try, because I wanted to support that kind of initiative, but a few weeks later, more gacha, more 250$ skins, and more predatory practices just deterred me from even trying. I'll still keep an eye on the whole scene, because there's still some funny things to be witnessed, but League has lost my trust and my interest overall, and I don't think that's coming back, unless they MAJORLY course correct. Which is a shame, because part of me still wanted to try and keep some of that trust in. But not anymore.
    Thank you though for always sharing your opinions and your insights, Vandiril, as well as your hilarious spaghetti edits as usual. Been lurking here and there for years, and will continue to do so. Keep up the good work.

    It's sad to see. Unfortunately the game is 15 years old. The playerbase is mostly people that have been playing for a while, new accounts are mostly smurf accounts of experienced players.
    Riot is not interested in growing the game anymore. League of Legends has already peaked in terms of playerbase and now Riot is focused on milking it for as much money as they can while it lasts. They would not have done this 10 years ago because it would hurt the size of the playerbase too much while the game was still growing.
    Also unfortunately but honestly, the League of Legends playerbase is too dumb that this is working for Riot. If people didn't buy into this bullshit Riot wouldn't be able to get away with this. But whoever came up with this is getting promoted and the people that weren't doing this before are getting fired.

    Because in this way you are not exempt from being able to get the skins (or characters) for free, but it's still not as easy as paying for them. And since you can spend nothing and get the loot it isn't really gambling

    I'm sure this is amoral and might be illegal in some country.
    I wrote the support about this and asked them to do the skin shard token swap manually, and they answered they wont do this becase I should have known about it before since because it was written in the 14.24 patch notes that it will be removed in the 14.24 patch. I complained that it is not fair, the extra options were announced weeks before and this is only on the same patch notes they do remove the option? They said to me it is fair since I should have read that 24 hours before the patch comes live.

    Speaking as a game dev myself, I'm willing to give Riot a pass on only doing new "Ultimates" now as that original statement is from 2020.
    - Elementalist Lux is effectively 10 separate skins. That's 10 distinct sets of models and textures for both the character and its VFX. All of that needs to be loaded into memory since the player can dynamically swap between forms, and it's unknown what form the player will select. If Elementalist-like skins became standard, a worst case scenario game could have each player loading 10 distinct skins into memory. That's 100 skins worth of resources, with only 10% actually being used. Obviously it's not this simple, and there's countless techniques to alleviate an issue like this, but it's a valid concern for Riot to have.
    - Modern Legendary/Exalted skins, while more impressive than old Ultimates on a technical level, are likely not as memory demanding as Elementalist Lux. Along with the modelers/tech artists just producing higher quality assets (which don't necessarily take more resources), the form changes we've seen from Jinx/Sett aren't as extreme as with the Ultimates. Models, textures, particles etc are shared between the forms. If stuff is reused, then it saves on memory.
    - It's been 4 years and the tech needle has moved, both for Riot and the players. The average user has more powerful devices, and Riot has cut support for lower end hardware. I have no doubt that they've also improved their engine over the years.

    Few corrections that need to be address.
    Late 2020 you could play League on Windows 7 on minimum graphic setup. Now since Vanguard has been live, Riot is requiring everyone to be on Windows 10 which has it's own requirements.
    Comparing a comment from 2020 & now doesn't make sense because League Of Legends minimum requirements were much less than they are now.
    As for why they are making $250 skins, it's a no brainer people are idiots. Have you seen how much people dump into Honkai Star Rail, Genshin Impact and other Gatchas?
    League is doing it with skins, and since it's cosmetic it doesn't matter, it would be nice if they bring these skins to the Loot Chests so we have a chance to get them for free though.

      Technically they aren't. According to the terms and conditions, your account is their property, which you have a non-transferrable license to use. All skins and currency on that account is their property, which you are licensed use in game according to their rules and exchange rates.

    It's just sad man. For over a decade I've put my time into League care-free, because Riot was the only big studio head and shoulders above everyone else. Quality always came first, there was no loot boxes at the time, no gacha, we had new rotating game modes and events all the time. Now if you put Bobby Kotick in charge of Riot I don't think much would change at all. They're indistinguishable from the worst.

    This decline has been coming for years, starting with Chromas where it's obvious the reason is not to "enable players to live out their fantasy of the champion they love", but to be able generate 10 "new" skins for the development cost of 1, + 9 cheap spins on a color randomizer.
    I remember how Riot used to push surveys where one of the questions was "I trust Riot to give me valuable in-game content for my money" which I always used to respond with "I fully agree" in earlier times. Recently I downgraded my answer to "I somewhat agree". In the future, I will change it to "Absolutely disagree". I will also from now on refrain from ever purchasing RP again. Did it twice in the past to buy a skin that I liked and once to gift a skin to a good friend, but unless they remove gambling from the client, I will never purchase any RP again.
