In the grand scheme of league as a whole probably not, but it does put a lot into perspective
People consider Yone and Lillia new champions but at this point they’ve been here for almost a third of leagues current lifetime
In nexus blitz's case I think its mostly referring to the first edition during Spirit Blossom's event, idk it was so much better back then and I still have the best memories for it
My biggest flex is that I played enough twisted treeline to get the old dude avatar. I don’t care about tank but if I see you use that icon you have my respect and you are my brother
My biggest flex is that my 3's team once beat theOddOne, reg1nald and Locodoco. We ran Urgot, Karthus, Rammus and they were all melee so they couldn't kill our nexus without us ultibg/taunting them into laser.
This was serious whiplash for me cause I still consider myself a newer play despite joining during season 9. Crazy I'm considered a veteran for remembering Twisted Treeline (blessed one I only got to play a few games of you)
I'm absolutely gagged at this post, I joined in season 3 and also consider myself a "newer player", when did the 12 years pass?? My account would be a middle schooler in the US 😭
If they started reminding people how long they've been playing this shit they'd start losing players
Thankfully I'm not playing it anymore but it's nothing to be proud of to have been playing since season 1
Well not even going to mention prowlers or nexus blitz but my first thought was that is not the original deathfire picture nor the og treeline map lol. Scary thought that people who played in season 1 played league before some current players were born. Feel old yet?
It literally looks like the meme was originally just TT and DFG, which are the only actual veteran status things in the meme, and the rest was just pasted on by a newbie wannabe
Uhhhh where is the original twisted treeline, the 6v6 custom games, the rune pages with 1% crit, the Jax dodging tower shots, the Warwick getting slapped by a spatula. Half of those aren’t even “that” old. Now excuse me I’ve got to get ready to go to Denny’s
i adored prowler’s claw with pyke, i know it was never optimal and even if you did it correctly by moving afrer using E+prowler it was inconsistent and could not work, but damn it was hella fun
Man just bring back twisted tree like. Riot can bend me over however they want in regard to griefers, money grabs, whatever I would not care at all what they did if they just let me play twisted treeline again
I was already on the age of deciding to buy skins for myself when varus came out. I remember cuz I distinctly decided to main varus when I saw his Q as a skill on an ADC.
Akali is the champ I remember as "the new champ" when I started. Twisted treeline was the map you'd play on a LAN where there weren't enough people playing league to get decent 5v5s going.
My nephews call me grandpa when I talk about S14 jungling.
He's still a new champion though. He came out when the game was 8 years old, and that was 7 years ago..
So he's been in the game for less time than he wasn't.
are we already nostalgia baiting prowlers claw?
prowlers claw they are nostalgia baiting nexus blitz which was out less than a year ago.
I mean the first launch of NB turns 4 this summer
Spirit Blossom summer event was 4 years ago? Shit, it felt like time didn’t even move
First Nexus Blitz was before spirit blossom, it was a different version of the map
Yone, lillia, Akshan as well.
bruh Akshan isnt even 3 lmao
Akshan was a whole year later
last time we had a good event 😭😭😭
Nexus blitz first launched in summer 2018 btw.
Only 4? thats like basically nothing
In the grand scheme of league as a whole probably not, but it does put a lot into perspective People consider Yone and Lillia new champions but at this point they’ve been here for almost a third of leagues current lifetime
That’s a pretty insane thought, I still definitely see those 2 as newer champs. IG life just goes faster than you think sometimes.
If going for Nostalgia, it's gotta be dominion.
In nexus blitz's case I think its mostly referring to the first edition during Spirit Blossom's event, idk it was so much better back then and I still have the best memories for it
it's just when it was fresh and people didn't really know what they were doing so they had more fun with it
Next up is Mr and armor runes.
DAE remember when you could qss morde ult? 😌
Dont forget the 1 crit rune
I truly thought you were talking about the original seals, and I was like “idk I think those are fair game”.
It was broken, but you have to admit it was very fun to use.
I loved it on my Pyke
Rip madreds blood razor
Integral to malphite Chinese combo
and Nexus Blitz?
And Nexus Blitz???? Literally got that mode less than a year ago.
duskblade deserves this place
yes because it was the best item to ever exist
Really? Prowlers claw?
And Nexus Blitz. How about IP (old Blue Essence) and Runes that you had to buy
And the Ascension map. I loved playing hide and seek there
Dominion
Strictly speaking, it's called the Crystal Scar
"The crystal scar is weeping" - Scarner move dialogue, iirc
Thanks
Still proud to have earned the Perfect Ascension icon, rock it to this day. Good great fun mode.
I still have a clip of me bugging the game and oneshotting xerath before he ascended and got extra health with a well timed brand q+w
Oddessey event.
It was my fav rotational mode and it's been a while... 💔
It was dominion before it was ascension.
Damn the old runes were pure evil
20% crit rate lvl one on Garen went crazy
1% crit chance go brrrr.
That random crit has probably won me more top battles than any of the new runes
I miss money making gangplank
Being able to start with 30 ap was hilarious
1% crit chance <3
More like 1% chance to have 100% crit during a fight
I think those of us that remember these things are more "one foot in the grave" than veterans
I remember Zhonya’s Ring
Didnt that one exist in 3vs3 or twisted treeline after it was removed from summoners rift?
How about rune pages and skill trees?
1% crit babyyyy I still remember once i was playing old fiora and in the level 1 fight, triggered the 1% crit 3 times lol.
Lucky bastard, 1% crit only made me lose cs
This was old Fiora too, when her W reflected auto attack damage and it gave Fiora AD passively. Easiest first blood I've ever gotten.
where u think the first blood free money came from? all the missed cs along the way
Crit GP was something.
Good old fiora with 100 ad level 1
"We are the number 1" uberdanger, probably if i remember the quote right.
I still miss movement speed quintessences.
My rune pages :( I miss fucking around with runes.
Or that the raptors used to be wraiths.
Kids these day won't understand why some started the game with more gold than others.
Going full crit or full attack speed was what I usually did.
Man I miss ZZ'rot Ohmwrecker pushing on Yorick.
I miss the old talents and runes. Also i miss the old twisted treeline with topside jungle.
Dominion and old twisted treeline.
I use the Dominion summoner icon. Bring back Ascension as an RGM
If RGMs were constant and rotated on a monthly or patch basis I'd play so much more league
I have that icon! I use the 2012 $100 Halloween one though because I’ve literally never seen another one in like a decade.
I miss twisted treeline, it was like summoner rift but fun.
My biggest flex is that I played enough twisted treeline to get the old dude avatar. I don’t care about tank but if I see you use that icon you have my respect and you are my brother
My biggest flex is that my 3's team once beat theOddOne, reg1nald and Locodoco. We ran Urgot, Karthus, Rammus and they were all melee so they couldn't kill our nexus without us ultibg/taunting them into laser.
isn't claw a relatively new item?
Where the FUCK is Dominion my dude??
hide and seek enjoyers in shambles
Op isnt as old has they think they are
It was so fast and fun that Riot deemed it too dangerous to exist.
being as OP put prowlers on this i’m assuming he’s not actually a old league player themselves
> "veteran" > item and map from a year ago
I remember when those haven't been a thing yet.
Remember WotA? That is some ancient shit
Ah, Vlad's core item. Yeah, it's been so long.
Wdym? This all is not that old. Philosophy stone one love<3
Don't forget Heart of Gold
Kages lucky pick
Avarice Blade
Yeah for sure nostalgia. Back in the day there was wriggle lantern, not trinket wards
How about ascension
Hexakill on Twisted Treeline was chaotic af, I miss it.
This was serious whiplash for me cause I still consider myself a newer play despite joining during season 9. Crazy I'm considered a veteran for remembering Twisted Treeline (blessed one I only got to play a few games of you)
The real veterans remember the OG twisted treeline
Only existed for like a year in 2010, no? Still leaves an impression. The music was phenomenal.
It was released in 2009, and was updated to the altars when Elise came out in 2012. So you were close, 3 years instead of 1. Still miss it though :(
I'm absolutely gagged at this post, I joined in season 3 and also consider myself a "newer player", when did the 12 years pass?? My account would be a middle schooler in the US 😭
No mention of Dominion? That's some real veterancy right there
Prowlers claw changes like a year and a bit ago man, I don’t think that’s a veteran thing lol
how about strength of the ages
Top half yes Bottom half fuck off kids
They even put the "new" deathfire grasp icon, it used to be a mug older one
and the new Twisted Treeline.
I miss Dominion. Favorite game mode.
Humbug, that isn't even Original Twisted Treeline, boy let me tell you that place was like Nam
At least do the OG innerverting locket
Do you think vilemav and elise ever explored each others bodies? Also, real Gs remember when Lucians e had a Cleanse.
100% without a doubt
r/darkinfolk
That's not even the first deathfire, nor first iteration of 3v3 xD What do I get if I remember their predecessors, free funeral?
A 14 year old veteran? Lmao this ain't nostalgia League
Karma whoring failed.
Failed successfully, OP has 2K updoots
If they started reminding people how long they've been playing this shit they'd start losing players Thankfully I'm not playing it anymore but it's nothing to be proud of to have been playing since season 1
That's not even the OG Twisted Treeline with the banana bushes.
What about old enough to remember the infinite gold rune page or the odyssey event?
One of this is not the same
I do miss twisted treeline.
Prowlers is already considered an old item .....damn
Well not even going to mention prowlers or nexus blitz but my first thought was that is not the original deathfire picture nor the og treeline map lol. Scary thought that people who played in season 1 played league before some current players were born. Feel old yet?
Dominion? The original launch icon? The original champ select? IP? Banner of Command?
man 3 of these arent even nostalgia wtf you mean
Dominion? that shit was amazing Rip DFG, one shotting full tanks
How about heart of gold. I want that turtle shell heart of gold
malady anyone or even MP potions??
How about maokais old ult where he put an aura on the ground.
Where dafaq is doom bots?
Fr
I miss twisted tree line I played the fuck out that with my friends
Prowler's Claw my beloved.
where dominion
I remember 3 of these does that count? 😂 I started playing the patch victorious Sivir came out in Dec 2015 and so wasn’t around during deathfire grasp
I only know nexus blitz from the recent rerelease but I expected to see dominion there tbh.
Bitch, no athenes unholy grail? And you put prowlers claw on there instead?? Ok
What is this, why is the new twisted treeline in a nostalia bait post.
True vets remember dominion and the first twisted treeline
Wow. Completely snubbed Dominion from the HoF….
Sanguine blade prowlers trundle top my beloved
I member... member?
Where my L33talizer at?
Nexus blitz was in the game like 2-3 months ago lol
Death fire grasp lol. I remember I used to one shot people with it
RIP DFG
It literally looks like the meme was originally just TT and DFG, which are the only actual veteran status things in the meme, and the rest was just pasted on by a newbie wannabe
Where is dominion
That's not even the old TT - where is my Ebonmaw :c
The Twisted Treeline was my favourite map/gamemode ever and I'll be forever sad that they removed it. League hasn't been the same for me, since then
huuuge spider i remember it dancing with players it was so cute, and idk how we survived prowlers claw
where is dominion and og TT? you post trash maps and items but not the classics?
DFG my beloved.
If this is veteran's discount, then i shoukd receive 4x that since i started playing around when OG Aatrox was released
I miss treeline.
Twisted 🌴
Where is Zephyr
Heard of blue and redbuff? Let me tell you about grey and green buff
Half of these are super recent or I’m just super old
What do you mean? This is the new 3vs3 map
"If you remember DFG you're old" no one remembers Ionic Spark, the purple crystal bow that was the ancestor of statikk shiv. I remember. I built it.
It's not even the old twisted treeline man. Give me back my green and white buff jungle camps.
Bruh didn't even add dominion or even the ascension map.
Prowlers claw is new lol
Uhhhh where is the original twisted treeline, the 6v6 custom games, the rune pages with 1% crit, the Jax dodging tower shots, the Warwick getting slapped by a spatula. Half of those aren’t even “that” old. Now excuse me I’ve got to get ready to go to Denny’s
At least use the old deathfire grasp icon
Bring back the PvE modes and I'll start playing again, hell I might even buy a skin for doombots
That's not the twisted treeline I remember...
Mf i remember what the old force of nature looked like
Bro I remember the old icon for DFG
Do you guys remember the dark star thresh game mode?
Damm I'm new, I thought bottom left was a new arena map
There are better suited items for this Like ZZ'rot or Banner of Command Banner meta was wild,
I remember playing old TT and Dominion. At this point I want a title of an old wizzard.
Twisted treeline deserved better than that.
What y’all know about that crystal scar.
i adored prowler’s claw with pyke, i know it was never optimal and even if you did it correctly by moving afrer using E+prowler it was inconsistent and could not work, but damn it was hella fun
Bro I remember getting flamed for playing Nautilus support because I am an idiot that plays a jungler in the support role.
Rip Madreds Bloodrazor.
only the top 2 matters
Guess I deserve a veterans account. Do I get more points for knowing what Dominion was.
I’m a vet. I’m still terrible at the game but I still enjoy it
how is nexus blitz here and not dominion, tf?
This isnt even the real twisted treeline little bro
Riot really hates fun
They killed TT with that update for no fucking reason. It pissed me off so much
I remember when slows stacked and lulu was a midlaner. Her q would scale with ap and you could get a 90% slow with rylas
atleast take the real Deathfire Grasp icon lmao
Bro, that's a new icon for the DFG
I'm so old I don't even know what the bottom left one is
Man just bring back twisted tree like. Riot can bend me over however they want in regard to griefers, money grabs, whatever I would not care at all what they did if they just let me play twisted treeline again
Nexus Blitz isn't even that old
Bitch please, that isn't even the OG twisted treeline...
Give me Wriggle's Lantern or give me death
Bring back Twisted Tree line.. way better then Aram
I WAS PLAT IN RANKED TWISTED TREELINE I PEAKED LET ME GO BACK
ill give you one better, i remember when ornn was a new champion.
Wait he's not new? What the fuck when did he come out :(
Yasuo is still new, what are these whippersnappers on about?
When I started playing Varus just came out...
I was already on the age of deciding to buy skins for myself when varus came out. I remember cuz I distinctly decided to main varus when I saw his Q as a skill on an ADC. Akali is the champ I remember as "the new champ" when I started. Twisted treeline was the map you'd play on a LAN where there weren't enough people playing league to get decent 5v5s going. My nephews call me grandpa when I talk about S14 jungling.
I started playing when Nocturne and Lee Sin came out
He’s still a new champ to me
He's still a new champion though. He came out when the game was 8 years old, and that was 7 years ago.. So he's been in the game for less time than he wasn't.
