Tyler ‘Tyler1′ Steinkamp expressed during a co-stream of the LCS playoffs that he is enthusiastic about the upcoming “crazy” changes set for League of Legends in 2025.
Riot Games has been managing player expectations for the next season after one of its developers remarked earlier this year that the game will change “forever” in 2025. The studio head, Andrei van Roon, attempted to clarify this statement in August.
“I think ‘Change League forever’ is a bit of an oversell though,” Roon shared on Reddit.
Nonetheless, Tyler1 has reignited excitement for 2025. During a co-stream of the LCS, he mentioned discussions with the Riot development team and revealed his enthusiasm for the future of the live-service MOBA.
“Things are gonna get crazy… I’ve talked to Riot a lot throughout the years in person. This is the first group of guys I’ve talked to that I’ve truly felt passion from,” he remarked.
The streamer noted that he previously thought the Riot League development team was composed of “old heads,” but now recognizes that new talent has infused the company. He believes they are genuinely passionate about evolving the game.
He claimed that the developers he spoke with were visibly enthusiastic and engaged, expressing excitement about the planned changes in ways he hadn’t witnessed before.
“They’ve got new talent that sees the game differently and wants to expand it just outside of what we know,” Tyler1 stated.
It remains unclear if the anticipated changes will include updates like a new client design, significant system alterations, or the introduction of voice chat. Tyler1 did not divulge specific details during the stream, as he mentioned he was under NDA.
Riot is already hinting at major adjustments to nearly every item in the game in patch 14.9, indicating that the developer is beginning to implement some of the significant innovations planned for 2025.
This enthusiastic endorsement from Tyler1 carries considerable weight for players anticipating changes in 2025, especially as he has a history of being critical of many modifications Riot has introduced to League of Legends over the years.
