League of Legends Classic is gradually losing its appeal to gamers

In a small internet cafe in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City, Minh, 28 years old, is sitting in front of an old computer screen. He was one of the oldest League of Legends players in Vietnam, connected to the game from the early days. Today, he turned off the computer after trying LoL Classic for only 15 minutes. 'It lacks too many old champions, it's boring to play all the time', Minh shared with friends in a chat group. This is not an isolated case. According to a small survey on the Vietnamese community, more than 40% of LoL Classic players who once followed the game have given up after a few weeks of release. This article will analyze in detail the reasons behind this decline in appeal, based on community data, meta analysis, and strategic factors from Riot Games. We will look at it comprehensively, not just on the surface but go deep into the nature of a retro game mode product with great potential.
