00:00Hey, everyone. I'm Paul, a.k.a. Pabro.
00:02And I'm Andre, also known as Meddler.
00:05Today is June 18th, and we're here to talk about Season 3.
00:08To start, this season is celebrating League Past and Present,
00:12and later we'll of course be celebrating Worlds
00:14and our true calling, being a music company.
00:17At Worlds, we'll also show you a preview of some of our future plans for 2027.
00:22First up, though, we're going to be looking back to the past.
00:24And in case you missed it, we're releasing League of Legends Classic next patch.
00:28This has been something that many of you have been asking us for, for years.
00:32And it's something that's near and dear to our hearts as well.
00:35For a lot of us, and a lot of you,
00:37Old League brings back amazing memories of playing in the late hours with friends,
00:42Ryze's various reworks, or bringing down the EU West servers every other day.
00:46And so, for Act 1 of this season, we're going to be leaning into not just League Classic,
00:51but the general celebration of earlier times.
00:54But before we get too nostalgic,
00:56we want to hand things over to some familiar faces,
00:59who are going to walk you through a patch preview.
01:02Hey folks, I'm Feral Pony, game director for League Classic.
01:05And I'm Freak, one of the game designers.
01:07And we're here to talk to you about some gameplay changes we have planned for this patch.
01:10First off, we are deleting Yuumi from the game.
01:12That's right.
01:13And not just Yuumi, we're also deleting Yasuo, Yone, Kassante, Samira, Smulder.
01:19You know what, it might be easier to tell them we're deleting over 100 champions.
01:22That's right. And we're nerfing Flair or Flair's attack speed from 55% to zero.
01:28You know what, this doesn't feel right.
01:38Whew, that's better.
01:39Welcome to the League of Legends Classic Patch Rundown.
01:42Remember grinding IP to buy the 1% crit rune because you convinced yourself that's what you needed to win
01:47a 1v1?
01:48You didn't.
01:48Or rushing home to read the news on Surrender at 20?
01:51It's moments like these that you've all pointed out time and time again that you really miss.
01:55And that's where League Classic comes in.
01:57Classic lets you relive moments from the OG Rift you remember.
02:00It's got a smaller champion pool, items from early seasons, and a map that's got wraiths and no alcoves.
02:06Remember Poppy ulting their support so no one could damage you?
02:08APG absolutely shredding everyone on their team?
02:11Or the high skill combo on Scion of pressing Q and W?
02:16Well, great news.
02:17You can relive moments like this and more.
02:20You guys aren't bringing healing back, are you?
02:22Oh, actually, yeah, we've got innovating Locket, Emblem of Valor.
02:27Wait a minute, you don't even work here!
02:29When we got started on Classic, we had to ask ourselves, not what, but when is League Classic?
02:35We went back and forth with quite a few options.
02:37Some of us felt it should be Season 3, others Season 1, and some people thought it was Season 6.
02:41But we ignored them.
02:42So our answer to when is all of it.
02:46Sort of.
02:46Classic isn't a time machine where we relive League of Yore patch by patch.
02:51We loosely started with a Season 3 framework, but we wanted to grab from a variety of moments
02:55to create a greatest hits feeling for Classic.
02:57So we'll have summoner spells, items, and champions from a variety of early seasons.
03:01We're trying to capture all the things you loved, and your enemies hated,
03:05so everyone gets something that speaks to them.
03:08With that, let's talk a little about what to expect when you get in the game.
03:11To start, we're going to have the original 40 champs, plus another 20 hand-selected early releases.
03:17That includes your pre-reworked Scion, Nunu, and even Skarner.
03:21We'll also add other champs from back of the day as time goes on,
03:24like Poppy, Akali, and Irelia, to name a few.
03:27Unnerfed?
03:27Tons of unnerfs!
03:29One of our main goals is to preserve the more methodical and strategic gameplay from League's past.
03:33That means more targeted abilities, fewer dashes, and everyone's favorite, buying lots of hearts and gold.
03:38With a combination of mechanics from multiple seasons,
03:41we'll also see combinations that were never possible before.
03:44You want to use summoner promote, and then banner of commands to buff that minion?
03:48Run Warwick with Feral Flare and Madden's Bloodraiser?
03:52We've got all of these and more.
03:54Outside of champions, we're also bringing back the OG runes and masteries
03:58with some improvements from a more modern lens.
04:00You'll unlock runes and masteries by playing games of classic,
04:02earning ways to mix and match your pre-game setup.
04:05All your old favorites will be there, and we've buffed a number of underused options,
04:09so there should be more choice than ever before.
04:11Also, all runes just start at the old Tier 3,
04:14so no needing to buy your way up from Tier 1 runes.
04:17Rest in peace, run combiner.
04:19Don't worry about being undergeared from the start.
04:21The pace of unlocking them will be faster than the past,
04:23and additionally, we'll provide default runes and mastery pages
04:26so you'll never be jumping into battle with nothing, even in your very first game.
04:30There are some other, more modern improvements that we're bringing to the game as well,
04:33like UX improvements, better in-game performance,
04:36spell buffering, server infrastructure...
04:38We got you, EOS'd.
04:39Matchmaking improvements, modern pings,
04:41and you can even play using WASD if you want.
04:43Overall, we want Classic to be a place where you have fun,
04:46relive the glory days, and create totally new ones.
04:49We'll be doing regular balance updates,
04:50but we aren't going to follow the footsteps of Modern League.
04:53Instead, we'll be forging our own path while preserving what makes Classic unique.
04:57For example, Twisted Fate's Gate is truly global and available at level 1,
05:01and we'll maintain that unless there's absolutely no other way to balance it.
05:04Our goal is to build Classic with you,
05:07so in the future we'll be implementing community voting, called the Council.
05:09It works pretty similar to our old VGU voting,
05:12except that we're weighting the votes based on your Classic level
05:15and how many seasons you've engaged in.
05:17So if you spend more time with us,
05:18you'll have more say in the direction Classic goes.
05:21We cover all this and a lot more in a dev blog that's out right now,
05:24so if you want to learn more specifics about gameplay,
05:27balance philosophy, voting, and more, check it out.
05:30Thanks so much, and we'll see you in Classic.
05:33And we're continuing the celebration of Classic and Mayhem with ARAM Mayhem Classic-ish.
05:39That's right, ish.
05:40Whether you're coming back just for Classic or are a regular ARAM aficionado,
05:45we're bringing a taste of Classic to a bridge near you
05:47with a new map, Classic items, and of course, Classic-inspired orgnets.
05:52This queue will have the 60 champions League Classic is launching with,
05:56but with their modern kits,
05:57and each team will also have their own Champion pools,
06:01allowing for mirror matches like the old days.
06:04ARAM Mayhem Classic-ish will release alongside League Classic
06:08that will be available for a limited time
06:10with its own queue, separate from ARAM Mayhem.
06:13Unrelated to Classic, we wanted to take a moment
06:15to talk a bit about our Partner Program.
06:18Creators, we see you, and we know the wait has been real.
06:21Well, good news.
06:22The League Partner Program is coming back
06:24and is ready for a new wave of creators to get in the mix.
06:28Applications open in September,
06:29so whether you've been grinding content for years
06:32or you're just getting started, we want to hear from you.
06:34Keep an eye on our socials for more updates.
06:36And if you're not a creator but know someone who deserves a spot,
06:40please do let us know.
06:41Reply to the video with your favorite creators
06:43you'd love to see in the LPP.
06:45And finally, we'll be inducting our next eSport Pro
06:48into the Hall of Legends in a few weeks.
06:50We're not quite ready to reveal who,
06:52so keep your eyes peeled for when we announce
06:54our next inductee on August 17th
06:57with the scans and pass going live on September 10th.
07:00All right, that's it for us today.
07:02We'll be back before Act 2 with more updates.
