As a game that has been popular for more than ten years, how many people are still playing League of Legends now? Riot released data once in September last year, the number of monthly active players in the world is about 150 million, and it is still the game with the largest number of players in the terminal game, so the position of the first brother in the terminal game is still unshakable, but Riot seems to have drifted a little bit recently, resulting in a large number of players lost.
At the beginning of February, Riot made a series of abstract decisions: skins are the main source of profit for League of Legends, and in order to ensure the sustainability of the game, the official decision was made to cancel Hex's free treasure chests.
The treasure chest is the "white prostitute party", one of the few, the channel to obtain the skin, the fist directly blocked the waist and cut off, so that the players who didn't want krypton gold in the first place, there is no new skin at all, and the gold coin system since the revision, everyone buys heroes, the main reliance is, is to upgrade the engine, the hero fragments and essences given, fists are so engaged, the difficulty of obtaining the essence skyrockets instantly, and new players can't afford to buy heroes at all.
Riot's two waves of operations,Completely angered everyone,A large number of foreign players protested,Many people,Even used the way of uninstalling the game,To warn Riot officials,According to foreign media reports,After Riot announced the cancellation of these free benefits,The number of ranked games in February,Directly from 29.3 million,Fell to 24.6 million,The decline rate is close to 16%,This data,It has shown that LOL players,Losing rapidly。
How many players have given up LOL? A media post revealed: League of Legends has lost more than 7 million active users in the past 30 days, good guys, this player churn rate, even if the basic disk is big, it is not far from Liangliang, after Riot saw the loss of players in large quantities, it was also a little anxious, and directly announced that Hex's treasure chest is back, and it is really interesting to slap yourself in the face.
The reason why Riot is on the opposite side of the player, everything starts with the change of CEO, in September 2023, Dylan Jadeja officially took office, as soon as he arrived, he began to drastically adjust the team, in January and October last year, more than 550 employees were laid off before and after, including many top designers, in order to make a profit, League of Legends became more and more commercial, and began to launch a variety of sky-high skins.
Starting from Faker's price of more than 3,000 people's hall skins, Riot has launched 3 models in less than 4 months, priced at 250 US dollars, the upcoming Iron Man, because of the shoddy production, caused player dissatisfaction, and Riot was forced to return to the furnace to remake, and this year's pass skins are also quite perfunctory, the quality is too low to cause public anger, and the game environment is very basic things, not to mention.
It can be said that since the change of CEO, the road of the fist has gone astray, if it continues to do this, the loss of 7 million users, may not be the end, but just a beginning, LOL player base is really large, but according to this rate of loss, it can't stand long before it is completely cold, this treasure chest returns, in the words of players: LOL doesn't know that he's wrong, but that he knows that he's about to be cold.
League of Legends now,There are not many players who still insist on playing ranked,In fact, there are not many anymore,Genting Game、Smash Bros.、Rotation mode,It's the current destination of most players,Riot used to put its mind on the game.,Often develop some.,More interesting modes.,But recently,It seems that I'm only thinking about how to make money.,Forget the most basic things.。
So what do you think, is 7 million the beginning or the end?
