Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.

As we all know, the game of League of Legends undergoes a wave of season-level changes every year, and this year's S14 World Championship is three BO5s left before the end, after which Riot will start the next round of changes.

As for the League of Legends season update, Riot's game director has revealed an important piece of news.

The LOL upgrade fails, and the Riot director breaks his promise

Riot Game Director Pu Liu previously revealed that League of Legends will be permanently changed in 2025, and the announcement at that time caused widespread heated discussions, with viewers speculating about what the game director was talking about, and they were also very much looking forward to a qualitative change in League of Legends.

Because after so many years, League of Legends has actually been facing a relatively big problem, that is, no matter how it is changed, it is difficult for the game to give the audience a sense of freshness, the designer has adjusted the game from all the angles that can be changed, 14 years have passed, and players have aesthetic fatigue both for the game itself and the event.

Therefore, at that time, many players were expecting Riot to make a "League of Legends 2", similar to DOTA, and the game may need to change the engine and carry out a wave of radical rework of the underlying logic.

Because the number of bugs in League of Legends is very large, a lot of old garbage code is stacked together, and after replacing the engine, it can really completely change League of Legends and rekindle the enthusiasm of players.

The truth of the defeat was revealed, and the players were disappointed

Monte, the former LCK commentator, recently revealed in a live broadcast that Riot had planned to change LOL's game engine in 2025, including mobile games and terminal games, and Riot insiders showed some results at Riot headquarters, not a complete client but only some functions, and Riot began to release various developer reports a few months ago.

Because of these Riot moves, the game director said that League of Legends would change completely.

But then Meddler, the head of LOL Studios, said that it was an exaggeration to completely change LOL, and it is likely that Riot has canceled or postponed the plan to replace the game engine indefinitely due to technical reasons, after all, replacing the engine is a very difficult job, and the game code of League of Legends is indeed very rubbish.

Players are deeply disappointed with this news, and the truth and reason behind the failure of the upgrade players are also very clear, that is, in the past ten years, the designers have made a lot of outrageous and trouble-saving code, and finally the code is piled up, and many times there will be the effect of affecting the whole body, and changing the difficulty of this game engine is almost the same as redoing the game.

The alliance is in trouble, and where should Riot go?

Now Riot is faced with a dilemma or a choice, whether to make up its mind to change completely, or to continue as it is, a complete update of the engine means that Riot has to put in a lot of manpower to do this, and it is unknown whether players will accept it after a few years of making it.

Riot has actually announced a lot of plans and projects in the past two years, and there are other games, and they have not put all their energy on League of Legends, and it can be seen that Riot wants to continue its peak as an industry giant through other games, and League of Legends players must be dissatisfied with this, Riot's attitude towards League of Legends in recent years is obviously a little perfunctory, including game changes, CG animation production, event venues, etc., which are not so good.

And League of Legends is the basic disk of Riot, LOL players must prefer Riot to do a good job of the basic disk, maintain a strong enough vitality, personally think that Riot to change the game engine of this project is best to do, players can accept the extension, because now the popularity of League of Legends players is still okay, players can give Riot some more time, I hope to make changes sooner, before things get worse, to stop the League of Legends from further decline.
