I’ve played this game for 10 years and it feels like Riot exclusively focuses on maintaining current users rather than growing new users.
Examples:
- I rarely ever see ads for downloading LoL.
- Champion releases have not slowed down. There is a huge learning curve for new player to understand what all ~170 champions do.
- Although the player tutorial has been fixed some years back, for a long time it was not a good reflection of how the game is actually supposed to be played. To me this shows they don’t really care about having a good tutorial.
- The meta changes frequently and new users have to adjust when they might have just learned to play a certain way. This can be either exciting for players or a turn-off.
- I’m sure there are several more examples that I can’t think of but I may drop in more throughout the day.
I play off/on so don’t have a great sense of the champion release cycles. Do you think they should continue to release champs at this rate or slow down?
This is the slowest champ release cycle in the history of the game
