The top 16 however was some of the best LoR we’ve ever witnessed. Not to mention they didn’t stream said Open Rounds, which was a huge missed opportunity. While the lead-up was a disaster – culminating with my friend and teammate Kevor and one other player not being entered into the open rounds because of miscommunication between Riot and the company they hired to run the Open Rounds.
The stakes were high, and the competition was fierce as we headed towards crowning our first ever Legends of Runeterra World Champion! It seemed like the game was starting to hit its stride, and the qualifier season was probably the most fun that I have ever had playing the game. Looking back, the qualifying period leading up to Worlds was a bit of a golden age for LoR. Things started to take a turn for the worst/weird around Worlds last year. It’s important to note that we can be critical of something and still be supportive of it.īefore we can discuss where we are and where we are headed, though, we first have to look back at how we got here and who/what has changed along the way. Our community is truly second to none, and it’s the reason I think many of us have stayed around despite the game not always going in a direction that we agreed with. I have spent thousands of hours and thousands more dollars trying to help grow the game and the community around it.
The short answer is we don’t really know, but through some investigative journalism we can attempt to peek behind the curtain to see what can be learned.īefore I begin, I felt the need to once again express how much I love the game and want to see it succeed. This year has seen more twists, turns and rugpulls than an afternoon soap opera. Now it's as much a “is the game dying” as it is a “what the hell is actually going on" article. I have been trying to write this article since the beginning of the year and every time I was almost done Riot decided to throw us another curve ball.
