Riot is making (almost) the same mistake as Blizzard

So it got confirmed that hextech chests are gone. And in it's place we'll keep having these terrible implemented battlepass and gacha pulls.

This is almost the same mistake Blizzard made with overwatch 2. The only thing still holding players is league's core gameplay wich got untouched, but people are already leaving for Marvel Rivals, Dota (as always) and Fortnite (wich has a great battlepass btw).

"League is dead/will die" is a term commonly thrown around whenever someone quits the game, but for the first time league seem to be in actual danger of just losing too many players to keep up. We all know whales are the ones paying the big bucks, but we also know that whales need the common players to actually play the game.

Let's hope that Riot rethinks their approach or at least the whales are able to finance whatever husk of a game lol is becoming.

When they said that "lol would change in 2025" we'd never expect it to be for the worse. Goodbye everyone.
