The new frame and ranking icon of League of Legends is what makes the gaming community extremely “itchy”.
As usual, after the old season ends, ranking rewards such as symbols and ranking frames will be given to players. But unlike every year, League of Legends’ season 12 ranking frame has been disparaged by the community.
New League of Legends Ranked Frames and Icons.
The main reason is that this year’s series of ranking frames from Iron Doan to Challenger have a rather low aesthetic compared to every year. This greatly affects the “tryhard” mentality of gamers to climb the rank.
Because in addition to asserting themselves with skills in ranked mode, many gamers also love the fact that the account owns an icon, a beautiful ranking frame whether it is high or low ranked. But with the frame of season 12, many gamers went to the League of Legends forums to vehemently criticize.
“They are really bad. The frames don’t show what rank you are in, but it’s worse than before. I don’t know what Riot was thinking when they turned them into this mess.”
“The Golden Frame looks like Bronze.”, “The Bronze Frame looks like the rank symbol that just landed in that c** field. But to be honest, it really speaks to the characteristics of bronze rank.”
“Looks like a cheap mobile game, go back and look at seasons 1-4, they’re much better.”
In the past, the icons and ranking frames were designed to resemble the helmets of warriors. But in recent seasons, Riot Games has increasingly made it look like a pair of wings, which makes many gamers find it “annoying” because it looks like some less popular mobile games.
The icons of previous seasons were hailed as more beautiful than the present.
Someone even pointed out that the new ranking frame is 1 pixel off, showing that Riot Games really lacks interest in these new changes.
Riot Games has been controversial many times and also sometimes listened to comments from the community to change accordingly, so many League of Legends gamers hope this time Riot Games also has an appropriate solution for the icon and game. The rating framework is being vehemently criticized.
