don't know if anyone has said this before, but your voice is so calming, Nicolai. :)

@@skysloth_ yeah it really is

@@skysloth_ facs he has a nice voice

Thanks for the uploads

I remember mastories

They removed it because people (in Korea mainly but it happened everywhere) used that function to indicate who were shit or inting. But yeah I miss it too.

@@phoenixflamegames1 They still do with the current honor system so by that logic why not remove this one as well?

@@Mercus65 but the opponents can’t honor you anymore. It is very unlikely that your teammates will honor you if you have been inting.

@@phoenixflamegames1 you are an adorably optimistic person.

@@phoenixflamegames1 it's so easily fixed by letting people hide their honour level but no, let's just delete the entire feature.

The problem with honor system was kinda the same with all other tools in the game, people using it in a negative way. I mean, we could strip literally all kind of interaction from the game, besides the actual champ control (moves + skills) and people would still find a way to be toxic.

This.

@@brunoboldt6336 i don't see how adding an enemy honor system would make it more toxic, i think it would actually make some people want to act nicer while just not affecting others (neither positively nor negativley)

@@z_xd_lol enemy honor was a thing back then, and was used in a toxic way. Like let's honor the inting troll for giving pdl or honoring someone who played poorly to sign other players that this was an easy pray. Unfortunately a good portion of lol community is far too toxic.

@@brunoboldt6336 a little toxicity can never hurt

the drake soul is really unconsistant like sion passive, when you die you deal like 0 damge and you live for 4 seconds and those seconds are rarely impactfull. I really don't understand why poeple think it's a strong dragon soul. I think the reason is the fog because people maybe can't play with it. But you can just place wards at fog entrance so you see the enemy walk in. Could you make it clear why you think chemtech is stronger than infernal and earth drake?

@@deojiii Sometimes in solo queue you get junglers not wanting drakes or hard losing bot lanes. When that happens the game shouldn't be fkn decided and unwinnable.

@@levilevilevi888 it has way higher winrate than other souls + its way better than sion passive since you have access to all abilities instead of just aa

@@zi9958 I mean you do 0 damage, i think the winrate has something to do with the fog and i think low elo people just don't know how to play against it. I'm convinced that in a month the winrate will balance by itsself.

@@zi9958 and btw it only has 1wr more than the other drakes so ppl are just boosting each other into believing it's op.

I had all 20 rune pages back in the day, since they were removed I have never been using more than one page which I adjust every single game (excluding preset rune pages ofc)

this is so true! and also if you didnt buy more rune pages with RP u could only have like 2 of them, so if you were a top or mid main and made your runes to match tank and mage for an example, if you got autofilled adc vs a someone with adc runes u were very behind. i hated this feature so much and im glad they changed it.

yeah back then i would have like 2 basic rune page one for AD and one for AP

@@PicesQ same

@@suzzzy it was pay to win to be honest. Such early adv was huge in right hands

isnt that literally on the thumbnail?Xd

@@pikuszkaful I think they mean make new ones

@@datguy5272 it’s.. difficult.. cafe cuties aren’t really Christmas skins and I the year before we didn’t got any Christmas skins or?

the "conspiracy theory" of riot no longer doing christmas themed skins/map seems to be more likely every year, since christmas skins essencialy got replaced by the lunar revel skins, celebrating chinese new year. Why not have both christmas and chinese new year skins? well lets just say winnie the pooh doesnt like santa at all

What's the point of removing them in the first place? Do they lose money for leaving them there?

@@lynarisevershadeshadowfall1684 If they left them in an official que, then yes. Because they'd need to dedicate server resources to those ques exclusively that could otherwise be dedicated to the vastly more popular Summoners Rift and Howling Abyss. However, the same can't be said to custom games; since the resources dedicated to those varies depending on how many there are. They just wanted to force people to play on Summoners Rift to be part of the larger community and feel pressured to spend money on skins and new champions.

​@@Thescott16 "they'd need to dedicate server resources to those ques exclusively" no? i don't see why a server could only host a certain map/gamemode, and even then, they could just adjust it accordingly, giving it way less resources than other gamemodes and it would still work great because of its lower playerbase. also, it doesn't really matter the amount of players for a gamemode as long as it works fine.

@@matiasaquino6213 There's a whole video somewhere on KZfaq about why Dominion got removed. Basically it was a nightmare to balance champs and the more champs that came out the more resources that had to be applied to it. I LOVED dominion. Played it everyday. Super fast paced and a great display of lightning fast fighting talent vs. CSing and dragons and whatnot. My prediction is that LOL will have to come out with something dominion-esque in the future to keep itself alive. Because the 15-45 min games where a good 5 minutes is just csing just really dampens everything.

That sounds so wholesome. I wasn’t playing when they had that map, but you can download a custom map and put it in your game :) it doesn’t break any rules

Lunar new year is not religion evebt

@@HadirUntukAnda it is, for China

of course , because christmas is banned in china and they only celebrate lunar nee year , ohhh guess what , tencent bought riot and tencent is chinese company , what a fcking coincidence!

@@carwithknIfe in conclusion fuck riot

@@pupijimm8870 no fuck tencent

literally noone played that mode and when it got removed everyone was like "yeah whyd they remove it it was my favourite mode" if they added it in right now peoople would play it for a week and never again

@Super Z but when you get one it was worth it

Why should they keep a gamemode that is barely played by anyone? You gotta understand that every company wants to make as much profit as possible without wasting too much resources and money on things.

Nah updating 3v3 was worst thing, old 3v3 on old map

@@laflame___ it might have something to do with the fact that they didnt update it for like 5 years .. but whatever

Yeah I have a feeling they'll stick with it for the upcoming season at the least. Maybe some sort of nerfs and changes eventually though, because sometimes it feels so demoralizing for your opponents to get that soul.

I do not understand why people think it's a strong dragon soul, when you die you deal 0 damage and you live like 4 seconds. it's like sion passive; really unconsistant. If you look others u just get plus X damage or X shield or X hpregen. Why do you think chemtech is strong and why do you think it has any impact?

@@levilevilevi888 Nice bait

@@roberthgraffe2214 I mean ur prob gold4 8k games thinking everything is op

But for real, u dont get extra damage or skills when reviving, and the decay is actually very fast, i feel like, you kill one and then go away, u wont get a second bounty anyway why face someone whos destined to die... I think is busted but it could have a place in the future season...

As someone who played Onslaught. (The star guardian mode) Im extremely depressed when they said they would never bring those pve mode backs

Ikr!!! Also it was super hard XD it was an archievement to finish it aswell!!

@@seventeenaddictxoxo4237 Being able to beat the hardest difficulty at the time with my friends was our crowning achievement

@@heavenzrevenge yes! Same

@@heavenzrevenge I still have the Symbol from beating Onslaught S+ in my account as player symbol as "Advertisment" to this day. and also the note that the mode has to return. Sadly, it may not be too soon..

You can use a custom skin to have it

Loved ascension :/

Bro, Kled on Ascension was such a busted thing and I loved it

Doombots was so fun

Ascension was awesome! Rammus was so fun on Crystal Scar.

@@Phantasmguy old mundo. Rampaging through their team if they treid to cap a point or kill xerath lmao

Or like a gamemode where you can choose your teams like Sentials vs Ruination :D id def choose the ruination team haha , i still like ultimate spellbook its not bad

And like each team get different perks or whatnot and idk yeah final boss viego wouldve been cool

I liked the visual novel thing they did for the Spirit event, but I agree - the Ruination event should've been a game mode like Blood Moon and Odyssey.

this reminds me of the star guardian map that came out for a short time! i agree, those events were super fun, but now they're all about buying passes and crap for money grabs :/

@@cahilton000 I remember watching a video and someone was saying, "not to add to the fire but the reason why we don't get seasonal or event maps and pve game modes any more (yes, a tiny part is because of the new map/dragons and they'd have to rework the maps) but the team that worked on it is now the TFT team." So... we can kinda thank tft as to why we don't have new game modes or maps. (its the video by Exil, "League of Legends Had Fun Modes But They're Gone Forever...") Just so sad. I'm not a hardcore ranked or summoners rift player at all. I dont event like ARURF or regular urf. I loved twisted treeline, odssey, invasion onslaught, hunt of the blood moon, even just the winter map. I also vaguely remember like an arcade "event" and the turrets, minions, inhibs, and base was all arcade themed. Also a summer event and the minions either had hawaiian leis or sun hats. I loved those little details and things. I wish Riot would care more about the casual, "for fun" aram players like me and many others.

i prefer being able to see karthus q's honestly

@@HQwalkingdead Get a skin with a diffrent color and you'll still see it lmao

@@HQwalkingdead Option to turn it off? There was an option iirc

@@wasw That's the thing but Riot is Ass to do that.

@@GrumpoDaggles i will remember to tell the enemy to use a different skin next time

came to the comment section to check if some1 already mentioned the 1% crit before I do :D are you AD? AP? Tank? who cares? just grab that 1% crit :D

I LIVED for that 1% crit shit! My god did it feel ever so good getting that one off.

iirc you could only buy them with IP (now blue essence)

@@wasw I checked it and yes, you could not runes for RP. The only way to convert RP to IP was through leveling with an XP boost(This is even true today). They stated directly converting RP to IP would mean selling power and they didn't want that. Which is fair but having to pay 388K IP for a full set of runes is ridiculous.

@@wasw It still meant you couldnt buy champions which where way more exciting to unlock.

lord having to buy the runes was a nightmare plus needing to get to level 30 in order to even have a full page

Hey! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

For real though. Aatrox' rework was literally the farthest thing from a rework. His entire essence was changed. He was an on hit based champ that heavily relied on some attack speed to be good. Now aatrox is a combo champ like riven, it's insane how far off they are from one another, they could be two completely different champs and actually coexist with one another without issues....

That was the one thing his ult could not recover from....

i remember getting my rank 7 aatrox on full ap with protobelt. was beautiful.

@@Origami_Anivia remember when he had a revive and was the most meta shit in pro play

i remember building attack speed on aatrox. good times

Just type! I received some myself and it felt good. Also did it to other lanes. Or on really close games

Uhh.. u mean IP aka the free ingame currency bcs u couldn’t buy runes with rp but only the pages ?

I definitely miss that from the old system for sure!

@@NicolaiLol When 1%crit procs twice in a row, the gods clearly favor you in that matchup.

20% crit rune gang.

Choas 😂😂

40v40? How would that even work?!

@@ashurakusanaga5917 bigger rift map,Destructible environment

Money makes moves.

@@FlyingAce369 No other way to say it.

This. I dont remember ever seeing an option for them to be bought with RP. Heck even the video in the background clearly shows that you could only use ONE form of currency (IP) to buy them.. They were in fact very not p2w but you had to decide between broadening your champ pool & buying new champs OR getting runes..

Nah they are gonna nerf it tho

@@harakoni2135 yea, they are going to nerf it to the ground and nobody will build it anyome Riot will realise that this item is unbalancable so its gonna be removed

@@vlad_lol1635 you see future

Family would send me subway cards all the time. I hate subway. Cashed em all in for RP. Wouldnt of spent my own money on it otherwise.

its "ip" not blue essence tho but still hard to buy nonetheless. grind.

Except for the 1% crit.

Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you as well! Thank you for watching!

Legit I have a friend who doesnt even buy skins he plays woth a mod that has every skin for free x3

The fact that they costed ip and growing several good pages took away from your ability to grow good champion pools, that and it bein by level, was probably the only bad thing about it imo, at least from a newpoaster's perspective. That and it bein wholly separate from masteries, many of which served the same purpose, I do like that they integrated that system. It's still a mess with certain keystones and they didnt even have that much waybackwhen but I think somethin in between a little better could be cool.

Let me guess ur a yone main

@@Ntwinzz probably not. just cause i started playing when X champion was released doesnt mean i main X champion

I never thought they were complicated. and 2 or 3 rune pages were enough for 99% of champions. for casual players who played for fun the old rune pages were better imo. full armor or full ad malphite were more exciting that way imo. full health regen garen/mundo was also fun.

I totally agree! 52 ad @ lvl 18 for old malphite was amazing, full armor aswell. 20% crit chance lvl 1 with yasuo or gangplank were also nice. full health regen garen and mundo because of- why not?

@@elinavance3476 Right?! I know why it had to be changed somehow, but the old stuff was just great in its own way.

You are what's wrong with this community. Where's your sense of compassion? Your sense of sportsmanship? It's only a game - why do you people have to make it so toxic?

It's quite literally insane how often they prove how detached they are from the game and community. Their balancing team literally doesn't play the game at all, and it's very evident.

No.

it is a little bit, because you could buy IP boosts with differing multipliers (I think) and you can get more IP with winning, in turn buying you more runes faster

@@MagnaDrake yes and no. You could buy IP boosts, but you got IP for every game. In addition to that you needed to get to level 30, before you were able to even fill the whole rune page. So with IP boosts you were at worst able, to buy more runes, but the highest class runes werent that expensive, so if you had enough IP for a expensive champion, you could buy almost a full rune page. Other times,other systems. You couldn't buy smith with money to put yourself in favor. U simply were a bit faster, which is totally fine, since you could buy everything relevant by simply playing the game. Pay to win would be if you could buy stuff, which you couldn't by playing
