>>714472259 (OP)I wrote out a bunch of shit only to realise we really just need League 2.
The client really is utter shit. doesn't matter how much they try to polish this decade old jankware. I'm convinced the only people who still say League is fine haven't so much as even tried any other games of adjacent genres.
The game as it is now is painted over so many times but the foundation still rots. Amazing how there isn't an option to disable cosmetics.
From there, just embrace the casual experience. nobody new is going in to league (the actual game) for the competitive side of things.
More modes, quicker queues, no battle pass and more rewards.
If Butcher's Bridge is permanent this time then that's a good first step after a constant downward spiral for the last 10 years.
