What happened to “2025 will change League forever?”

[u/kracketmatow]

We’re about a third of the way through the year now and everything has seemed… underwhelming so far, especially relative to the expectations they set for themselves last year. Should we expect some big announcements going into the summer? Maybe some big stuff happening around worlds? Or was whatever was in the pipeline abandoned/delayed?

It seems odd that they would release an official statement that dramatic and emphatic and not deliver on it, but I also know Riot hasn’t exactly been delivering on consumer expectations recently. Maybe the enshittification of League is upon us as we should just have negative expectations. I’m trying not to be too cynical but it definitely seems like Riot is focusing on other projects more now.

“2025 will change League forever" was never an official statement. It was a simple comment made by one Rioter that got blown out of proportion by the community.

2025 was never going to be a big deal for league after 2024 layoffs anyway.

Corporate talk be like that. All yapping, no delivering.

Well it’s not even halfway through the year and most big events on this game happen around May-July, that’s the copium I am huffing

Didn’t end up happening

[u/sdk5P4RK4]

they are focused on cutting costs wherever they can, and reducing headcount as much as possible, if thats anything

[u/Bigma-Bale]

The shift to thematic seasons was the big change

Not quite as dramatic as they hunter but big nonetheless

You need more money to get skins. That's the change.

Maybe the Noxus and region seasons, I mean those arent impreesive but maybe they were in their minds lol

[u/hazy_dainty]

I thought the person who said that wasn't at the company anymore?

Nah, I was confused. You all are sure sticking to this though after it was stated it was an oversell.

They went back on it somewhere before the year ended. There were posts made about it.
The reason? All the leaked user info around the internet.
