In the country that is considered the birthplace of League of Legends – North America, this popular MOBA game is gradually becoming “slowly dying”.
At the present time, around the world, the League of Legends game is still a “monument” of the MOBA series and is considered a “national game” when everyone, family can know, or are playing League of Legends. . Tournaments from the national to international level attract a lot of views and the players are also considered superstars, sought after by fans.

However, while it is very hot in regions such as Asia, or Latin America, and Europe, right at “home ground” – North America, League of Legends is showing weakness compared to other Esports titles. Even the LCS is not as attractive as it used to be. For example, the match with the highest views in the 2022 LCS Summer Split so far, according to Eschart, is the Cloud9 – Team Liquid match with 141,968 views. Meanwhile, the match with the highest views in the LCK Summer 2022 is currently the T1 match – KT Rolster with 642,859 – nearly 5 times more than the match at the highest level of North American League of Legends.

One hell of a place compared to the 2022 Summer LCK
To explain this, recently, a netizen posted a post on Reddit and received a lot of attention from the North American League of Legends community. According to this person, League of Legends is “dying” in “homeland”. This person explained, LoL viewers, gamers, and streamers from the past are now older and have more concerns and responsibilities to family and society than just sitting all day watching or playing League of Legends. Streamers also have to find other, more attractive, trending content to make a living.
A netizen posted an article saying that League of Legends is dying on the “home field” because the previous player files are all older and have more concerns.
This person also commented, Riot needs to have policies to bring League of Legends to young players – the next generation to maintain this game in North America. And this person also thinks that characters like MrBeast and this millionaire YouTuber’s tournament are tools that Riot can use to popularize League of Legends to young players.
This person cited MrBeast’s spontaneous charity award and urged Riot to seize the opportunity to be able to develop the young player file – the next object that Riot needs to save League of Legends in North America.
This netizen’s opinion received a lot of sympathy from the North American League of Legends community. Many people also admit that they can no longer focus too much on the game, even while watching or playing. Even when deciding to play League of Legends, many people said that they would choose ARAM or TFT rather than try hard in Summoner’s Rift.
Early 30. Only played ARAM because normal fighting took too long. But sometimes the ARAM is too long or the matches are too annoying
Unless they find a game mode that can end the game in 20 minutes
Check in ARAM. That’s where old people go to make an entertainment game and then go back to real life
Reminding League of Legends to players who have played is like saying Voldemort’s name. They will avoid it because of the toxicity of the game and from the community
And perhaps, it’s time for Riot to really rethink the problem as well as find a solution if it doesn’t want League of Legends to “fall” right on the “homeland” of this game.
