After 11 months of battling on Summoner’s Rift, League of Legends<\/em><\/strong> Season 10\u00a0came to a close earlier this week for players across the world. While\u00a0the community quickly adapted and even started playing more matches due\u00a0to the\u00a0on-going COVID-19 pandemic, Riot Games also continued providing plenty of updates for its decade-old MOBA.<\/p>\n

Despite the unique challenges presented by\u00a0quarantine and working from home, Riot kept\u00a0improving the quality of content for releases this year.\u00a0Looking back at League of Legends<\/em>‘ Season 10<\/a>, there are plenty of successes but also lessons to be learned as the game\u00a0moves forward into Season 11.<\/p>\n

Although the game\u00a0has never been exactly known for its friendly player base, recent seasons have seen a drastic increase of League of Legends<\/em>‘ toxic behavior in-game<\/a> that avoids chat detection. With even some famous streamers acting this way, many matches\u00a0would end with someone AFKing or sabotaging\u00a0their team\u00a0and receiving no punishment.\u00a0Because\u00a0these actions became widespread to the frustration of many community members and figureheads, Riot vowed to heavily revamp its behavioral systems.<\/p>\n

Since the start of summer, shipped updates have included\u00a0improved AFK detection and the ability to report or mute disruptive players during champ select.\u00a0These changes have resulted in more penalties and less repeat offenders with League of Legends<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>players feeling their actions are making a noticeable difference. After these successes, Riot is planning further updates for affected teammates such as early surrendering and reducing LP loss in ranked games. While there are still rare issues like players being flagged for actually doing poorly or\u00a0returning to ranked after several years and being placed in\u00a0smurf queue, continued work should fix things in the next few months along with further improvements.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

During Season 10, Riot added 5 new champions to the extensive roster starting with Sett, a walking JoJo<\/em> reference<\/a>, in January. Though the next few months were devoted to reworks, players were also introduced to Lillia,\u00a0League’s\u00a0<\/em>unique take on a dryad, in late July. Early in August, everyone witnessed the return of Yone, Yasuo’s long dead half-brother, while the Noxian AD carry Samira was leaked ahead of her September release. Finally, Seraphine made her debut at the end of October following months of social media posts exploring her real life\/KDA version.<\/p>\n

The number of new champions this year may be lower than usual, but they can be considered successful for different reasons. Each one maintains a good play rate\u00a0in certain roles, with Sett distinctly being flexed as a top, jungle, and even support in some regions. However, their backstories also expand the world of Runeterra whether it’s giving more details of various city-states or continuing to\u00a0make lore-heavy characters into champions such as Kai’Sa or Senna previously. Seraphine’s full reveal may have\u00a0disappointed\u00a0some players<\/a> after the massive build-up, but\u00a0her unique marketing approach release shows that Riot still has many new ideas to promote future champion releases.<\/p>\n

Moving forward, new champion\u00a0releases shouldn’t clash so closely with one another. Yone’s debut heavily eclipsed\u00a0Lillia’s earlier arrival despite players knowing both would come out during the summer event. Furthermore, Seraphine’s social media may have been planned months in advance, but this greatly took away from Samira who seemed like an afterthought. However, this year’s schedule can largely be attributed to the shift cause by COVID-19, and it shouldn’t be a sign that 2021 will continue an erratically slow or fast pace.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, 2 champions were finally reworked after winning the community vote back in 2019: Fiddlesticks and Volibear.\u00a0Both characters were chosen by players\u00a0for a visual update because their concepts didn’t fit in the game’s ever-evolving lore. To that end, Fiddlesticks<\/a> was transformed into a primordial demon\u00a0disguised as a scarecrow while Volibear was redesigned\u00a0as\u00a0the Freljord\u00a0demigod he was always meant to be.\u00a0Even though details were changed, the\u00a0thematic is still there and instantly recognizable by veteran players.<\/p>\n

Similarly,\u00a0the gameplay updates modernized both champions without\u00a0alienating the fans who grew to love\u00a0them over the years. Fiddlesticks\u00a0still has an AOE Crowstorm and targeted fear,\u00a0yet causes even\u00a0greater chaos by chain CCing then draining the life from multiple enemies during a teamfight. Volibear<\/a>\u00a0no longer flips his foes, but\u00a0truly lives up to the fantasy of a savage bear god mauling foes with thunderous strength. Either one plays just like before, only with new tricks and skill expression that let them stand up the current roster.<\/p>\n

Most players can agree that the 2020 reworks are more successful than previous attempts like Aatrox and Swain who play\u00a0much differently or barely resemble their original incarnation. Since the next updates will focus on Dr. Mundo\u00a0and perhaps Shyvana, players can only hope\u00a0they continue the current trend which retains\u00a0a champion’s most iconic spells and concepts adapted to modern Runeterra.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

While Riot continued to improve events\u00a0during Season 10,\u00a0their quality and design\u00a0went beyond what players\u00a0had come to expect in the past few years.\u00a0Specifically,\u00a0the Spirit Blossom summer event<\/a>\u00a0implemented a visual novel experience instead of\u00a0normal missions allowing players to bond and share some hilarious fourth-wall breaking moments with champions like Teemo. Additionally, after last year’s\u00a0feedback that event passes weren’t worth their RP cost, the rewards for playing were significantly boosted. This culminated in the Worlds 2020 pass where over 1000 event tokens and 30 milestone prizes were guaranteed after enough matches.<\/p>\n

At the same time, there is plenty of growth left for future events and scheduling. PsyOps 2020 had the unfortunate circumstance of coming right after Spirit Blossom and during the Worlds 2020 hype period.\u00a0Since Samira’s release skin was tied to PsyOps, there wasn’t any other time the event could release, but it still contributed to being overshadowed alongside the shorter 3-week duration.\u00a0Finally, K\/DA’s\u00a0comeback<\/a> was heavily anticipated by players since August, but the group was only Worlds 2020’s closing act. With the promotion across\u00a0Teamfight Tactics\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Legends of Runeterra<\/em>\u00a0in addition to\u00a0Seraphine’s storyline, K\/DA\u00a0could easily have earned their own\u00a0event alongside the ALL OUT album released last week.\u00a0At this point, fans can only believe this will\u00a0happen with an eventual third return.<\/p>\n

While Season 10 wasn’t perfect, it brought plenty of positive changes and laid the foundation for future improvements Riot Games will continue to make. For now, players should have received their end of Season 10 rewards<\/a> and can take a well-deserved break from solo queue. Otherwise, the preseason has drastically shaken up the item system and experimenting now could lead to early ranked success when Season 11 officially begins in January.<\/p>\n
