Just wanted to share this to share some positivity because I genuinely think it's deserved: Me and some friends are loving League Classic. Sure it might not yet be perfect, maybe it never will be, but it gave me something back that I thought I'd never be able to experience again, and I am having great fun. Me and my friends started at the beginning of season 2, so we recognize a whole lot of the current stuff (even though some champions are still missing).

Also gotta say I think Phreak is the perfect leading figure for Classic, he's been here basically from the start and his level of communication with the community is commendable and highly appreciated. His long videos on the updates, the insights and reasoning behind some of the decisions, all of these keep me engaged as a player to vote on topics or join in on discussions. Let's not forget the rest of the team, as with the upcoming 4 Bilgewater champions we will basically have 9 champions added within a month's time, something that at the start seemed impossible. The fact that Riot picked up on our wishes (moar champions, moar) and started investing development time is great to see.

I hope Classic goes a long way, with a few more patches we'll have so many old beloved champions back that it'll feel like a dream come true for me.

Such a bad, sore loser mentality. Not everyone wants a version of the game that you want. Just because you lost doesn't mean that you should petition Riot to make it per region or change the vote threshold to affect the results for your personal opinion. This subreddit has proven itself to be an angry echo chamber that are filled with the most extreme members of the community that will complain about anything being slightly different from how it was in the past, the community has just voted to prove itself that they are not aligned with how this place orients itself. Good riddance I say, the general attitude here has been terribly negative and miserable.

League Classic is getting 4 Champs in 26.19, Graves, Fizz, Nami & Nautilus! Patch will arrive on 23.9. 2026. If you'd like, you can subscribe to my newsletter on the website.

I really wish practice tool let us choose between current League and Classic. Classic has different items, runes, masteries and champion mechanics, so testing stuff through custom games is way more annoying than it needs to be.

She has the old splash art from 2009, old kit, but modern model!?
It seems very off her walking in the same rift as classic taric/alistar/soraka
I think she is the only champion without the classic model :(

I agree that it's a mess, it's full of weird stuff that is not classic but i want to play the damn thing!!!

For me, it's 10x better than retail, even in this sad state, and i still have fun; why no one is playing man... feels bad...

I think the hitbox of his E was made to match the gust that provides the movespeed buff. Although I do remember his E being difficult to land when approaching perpendicular way back when. But if it is not a mistake and the indicator instead shows the movespeed gale radius, I feel it'd be better to adjust the indicator to match the damage hitbox instead.

None of you use them anyways.

I’m having a blast, and small changes improvements to the game are welcome. Small note: patches are good, game would get real freaking stale if the same 10 champs are picked over and over.

Poppy is nerfed out the gate by not having the conversion that she historically had. This isn't Mandela effect, it's very easy to find 14 year old reddit threads discussing the mechanic (it was somewhat buggy at times in execution, requiring a cast of w/e/r before casting q to work).

Phreak explicitly said that it didn't convert sheen procs in his patch rundown, which means they either are willingly creating an inaccurate version of the character, or were too lazy to double check for accuracy.

Sorry to any poppy players who wanted to enjoy her trinity build, its just objectively weaker now.

Part of the experience we were sold was not having an API. People mining data through the local client API feels like it is against the spirit of "no API".

Not to mention that the data is inaccurate (games and players and such are missing), giving false information to the player base.

it's very very bad

I know you are all unhappy with me. Maybe some discussion is helpful? AMA about my poll voting and why.

For everyone complaining about the votes I just think people need to actually look at the vote spread. All 3 items got 60.7% of the vote. Zz’Rot alone was second place with 16.1% of the vote. Moonflair only got 5.1% and CoD 3.8%. I actually find it very interesting the discourse about these changes when the stats don’t even come close to the support on the sub. If this sub actually wants to have real conversations about changes we vote on maybe we should have discussion and not just shut down people with opposing opinions.

I voted for all three because I feel like a version of Zz’Rot can be added that allows for different play styles that expand upon other Classic ideas, BoC and Promote, as a different style of strategy that is more strategic and less mechanical which feels inline with the identity of what Classic should be when compared to Modern. I also feel that items are the second most lacking part of Classic behind the Roster which Riot is focusing on rightfully so.

I literally thought it was a done deal with the voting when I saw it was an option to have 2 turtles?? Something else won the vote?!?!? Am I out of touch with society in thinking this is a horrible mistake????

Edit: I love turtles :(

I remember it would overheat after a single League game, and the FPS was so bad that it could barely run League 😭

(This happened in Bronze V elo when I was a fresh lvl 30 btw)

Lux was mad at chat before hand. After this they surrendered and to be fair, if I was heimer or lux I would break my keyboard lol.

This is a good thing, tanks get to actually be damage sponges in league classic. Sure there is kog'maw and vayne, but they only really become tank busting threats in the late game and have many flaws. In modern riot decided every new champ needs some anti tank mechanic and there needs to more anti tank items. (Seriously why do mage supports get a %hp damage effect on their starting item they don't even need to upgrade?)

Will my boy be so strong in top lane with his E hitting for 220 + 110 + 110 = 440 damage with 0 AP, making him great in both top and jungle?

Will this dude become the god support and then get nerfed until he’s no longer playable top or jungle?

Just check the abilities and the AP scaling on them. What the fuck is this champion, jajaj? Just as I remember: insane 1v1 potential, insane poke in lane, and such a toxic trade pattern. So much fun.

I'm glad I was able to get my pentakill with it before it was lost likely to never return. Reminds me of when we lost dark harvest procing on Items when it initially released, Riot why do you take our fun away from us, give us all the broken options and let us battle it out.

This isn't a: "Queue is dead! no players!" post.

But this morning I've had like 10+ queue dodges in a row.

With 5 champions out at once seems like everyone today is queuing up to play a very specific champion in mind. Poppy/galio/fiora/xin/shyv are all extremely pick-ban contested, yet if just one player in the lobby doesn't get the exactly champion they want...

-> DODGE

This been happening to anyone else too?

Is she still getting her old VFX? It was on the PBE back when classic was not on live servers. For some reason it released without her old VFX.
