Recently, the LPL 2024 Spring Season began, and it is very strange that everyone suddenly saw the LPL start without knowing the start date. In addition, since the start of the LPL season, the popularity has been bleak, there are few barrages during Huya's live broadcast, and not many people watch it offline, the first RNG game of the spring game against EDG, coach Letme against the factory director, and there are very few people who pay attention to such a topical game. I think there are several reasons for the decline in LPL popularity:
1, many people just look at the team, to put it bluntly, it's like a fan circle, they don't play games, they look at the team like chasing stars, and as a result, the four LPL teams in the World Championship last year were beaten 11-1 by T1, and many first-year fans either switched to T1 or faded out of LOL.
2, the game is not innovative, it is always the dozen or so heroes who rotate, occasionally one or two new heroes on the field, everyone is estimated to be boring to watch, the fixed mode and the fixed operation, everyone is easy to lose interest.
3, LPL talent is nervous, there is indeed little fresh blood, no matter how the team is adjusted, it is those dozen people who play the game, it is difficult to have a bright rookie to play, but this is also related to the current LOL national service environment, one is the age limit of the game, the other is LOL national service boosting, the crew is frequent, a large number of players are lost, or it is a big mess entertainment. Many talented players play with them or take bosses, and few choose to play professionally.
4. LPL has no systematic planning, commercialization is too serious, every time I watch LPL, it is an overwhelming advertisement, reasonable planning, operation and competition area planning are not as good as LCK.
For lol, in China, due to the operation of the horse service, a large number of players have been lost, but on a global scale, the popularity of lol is still very good. On the one hand, e-sports is indeed the mainstream pursued by young people, on the other hand, Riot is indeed a good event operation, the world venues, the audience calls one after another, and the atmosphere is very good, so the popularity of lol in the world can remain stable for a while.
