So Jealous of Wild Rift as a PC-only League Player
If you haven’t watched the newest video, Patch 2.6, talking about all the new things coming to Wild Rift, you should definitely check it out to be able to understand my anger. Short rundown if you dont watch: Kayle & Morgana coming and if you play, you unlock rewards and can get them both for free Mundo coming *Urf is coming (will talk about this more later) some Project skins (Project Jhin, Katarina, Akali, Fiora, & Vayne- all ones that have already been released on PC) Mecha Rengar, Kha’zix, etc etc. new exclusive crystal rose (basically wedding skins) of Lux, Sona, Ezreal, Jarvan Hexplorer Shyvana (so a whole fucking skin that you dont have to spend 2,000 coins on, if you buy the pass) somethings about items but I didnt really give a shit to pay attention
Now to the parts that REAAAALLY pissed me off: The new ranked rewards system and what they’re doing with ranked in wild rift. So now when you play ranked games, just for PLAYING ranked games, you get a WHOLE BUNCH of rewards:
You play more ranked and climb up ranks? Free loot bags and even more rewards.
They’re also making special ranked weekends, so every weekend (OOOOOOH because in China kids can only play on weekends.. Got it.) where you can earn double lp (or whatever they call it over there) for winning games.
You reach Gold? You can earn “ranked coins” which you can use at the end of the season to unlock a special backing animation, special load in pose AND UNLOCK WHATEVER GLORIOUS SKIN FROM PREVIOUS SEASONS THAT YOU MISSED. SOMETHING LEAGUE PLAYERS HAVE WANTED FOR YEARS!
... I’m so angry, like this is so unfair. I keep thinking back to the joke my boyfriend told me during the 10 year anniversary, how Riot making wild rift and all these other games, not updating league, and eventually telling the playerbase, “we’re shutting down pc league, go play wild rift instead.” So back to Urf, you play Urf? You can unlock, as the Rioter explained, “manatee” sized rewards
.-. would love to unlock free rewards while playing rotating game modes on pc league too, Rito. What do we get in PC league for playing rotating games or just aram? A box... every six days.
