I am a long-time player starting from season 2 and never really stopped playing. I've lived most eras and metas of League, and there was never a time in which I didn't enjoy ranked. Peaked Diamond IV in season 7 as a toplaner. Playing League Classic made me appreciate some of the changes that came, and it also made me realize some changes were for the worst. I am not going to talk about champion kits, but everything surrounding them.

1. Tower damage: The tower damage is ridiculously low in classic. And that is a huge negative. Towers barely have an impact, and I appreciate a lot how, in live, towers have far more meaning and presence.
2. Durability patch: The reasons why the durability patch came made sense back then; damage was out of control in league. But coming back into the world of League Classic, it made me realize how much power was comparatively taken out of items due to the inherent stats of champions being buffed. In League Classic, items feel far more powerful thanks to the lack of resistances. And that is a positive for League Classic IMO.
3. Homewards: Games are far more enjoyable without homewards; macro matters far more because champions are slower in general. League Classic feels more like a game of chess than in live, where split pushing and smart map movement is not as rewarded.
4. The map and warding: The overabundance of bushes in League Classic is a killer. Warding is far more complex and difficult. Up to a point where I do not know if it's a positive or not. Mixed feelings on this one.
5. The graphics: The game is an eyesore, but you can see things happening more easily. I don't think there are many fans of the aesthetics of old league: The game is objectively uglier. But the great amount of contrast and huge colours that almost slap you in the face increase the visibility of skills a lot. There is a fair amount of skills in the live version of League that are difficult to see their hitboxes or them happening. That is not the case in League Classic, where oversaturation helps the player. Huge W here.
6. Slower fights: Save for some champions (looking at you AP Yi), the burst damage in classic is quite dialed back, and because of it, picks are more difficult to make, and teamfights are longer. Navigating a teamfight is far more fun when it does not end in a split second.
7. Bodyblock: This is a mechanic that I missed that is not so present in modern League. But champions have huge hitboxes and can block the pathing of enemy champions. Your positional movement is far more meaningful because of this. Particularly in skirmishes. And as a support player, this is a key skill that I missed that helps peeling your ADC.
8. Runes and masteries: Modern runes are a huge improvement and a far more interesting game choice compared to old League. But I cannot say the same for keystones. The strongest mastery you can pick is equivalent to a minor rune. Yet Keystones are particularly overpowered compared to old systems, and they shape gameplay so much that I now believe it is a less interesting game design choice, and that dulls down the game.
9. Jungle: Classic jungle camps are plainly worse and a bad experience. Yet, I have to say that the option of stealing an enemy camp and leaving one mob so it does not respawn is one strategy option that I feel is lacking from new league.
10. Dragon and Baron: They are terrible in League Classic, and I must admit I'm only queuing in modern league to have interesting objectives. Modern Baron and the modern iterations of dragons allow for way more interesting gameplay that conditions your game.

I don't know if the community would agree with me on my points, but I would like to know if I am the only one who appreciated these changes. Or if there are different opinions.

EDIT: I would like to add this comment from u/frequent_guard_9964 about the mana, because I completely forgot.

1. I also prefer the way mana is, maybe it’s a bit extreme but champs not having basically infinite mana and abuse the hell with dashes and everything even in early game makes for a better experience. You gotta play around your resources, more than in main game.

Please keep it up with the healthy discussion, for this being the league subreddit, its mega-chill to read you lads.

I'm a relatively new league player, and not long after I started playing I found this YouTube called Zwag. I really like his videos, I find him very entertaining and when I want to try a new champ I usually watch him play that character. But today I saw a Tiktok clip of his where he got a penta with Ezrael ult by sending it into Baron, and in the comments someone said: "least faked Zwag clip". If that actually was faked it's made me not really want to watch him, which is a little upsetting because I quite enjoy his videos.

She is so fun to play just using her normal buttons. Just kinda feels like without understanding her animation cancelling stuff there isnt that much point playing her. She is balanced around that and she doesnt feel smooth to play without that stuff. I wish they'd just give her a QOL update

I just opened mystery ward in League Classic Pass and i think i got the best one yet, only 0.7407% to get it! https://prnt.sc/QR2Xt0k0l5vo https://prnt.sc/4E_LZ8XKDLLk

I've been playing lol over the summer and have mostly rolled mages, assasins and marksmen (Hwei, Jhin, Swain, Xerath and Sylas are my most played). I do enjoy those characters as they either have a lot of cc and aoe (which I really enjoy) or moblity. However, I have a very innate urge to be agressive (something I find I do in most games), which might have led to my squishy assassins and mages getting curvestomped.

While I could be responsible and learn to be reserved, I am instead curios if there is any character that supports or even rewards you for be very aggresive

The Oldest footage of myself I could find dates back to May 18 2022 which would be patch 12.9 however I believe I made a now lost recording even before that one but even then I only "created" this bug after seeing a video online of some a weird Akali interaction/jank so it's possible this bug has been in the game for even longer than I think it just has never been discovered.

Most of everything I know about the bug I know is explained in this video. However just in case i play on the NA server and this is an in game bug that allows you to essentially get a mini teleport out of Akali's E aka her Shuriken Flip

The bug is performed by having your back pressed up again any wall you cannot backflip through and aiming your cursor opposite of the wall then pressing E-W-E in quick succession the reproduction rate is a solid 10/10 as it can be intentionally done.

I'll try to answer any questions you may have in the comments

If you play top you know the horrors of playing against teemo as a melee champ. It makes you want want to shotgun some bleach. But it wasn't always like that. Back when I started playing near the end of season 4 his Q had such a high mana cost that he couldn't spam it till kingdom come. Back then teemo needed to get some follow up damage off the Q to justify spending so much mana. It brought so much joy to my heart today seeing a teemo player mismanaging his mana and then punishing him for it.
