LoL fans agree one season 15 feature is making pro play ‘stale’

The latest season in League of Legends introduced a number of features, including Atakhan. Despite it being in the game only for a few weeks, fans already think it’s making pro play dull.

Major League competitions started throughout last week, including the 2025 LCK Cup and the 2025 LEC Winter Split, giving fans their first glimpses of the competitive meta. But many criticized one of Season 15’s additions on a Jan. 22 Reddit thread: Atakhan. Fans claim the pro play has become “a lot more stale” because of the neutral objective. “The revive Atakhan buff rewards stupid gameplay of just running head first into enemy knowing you’re not going to be punished” the original poster wrote. “In fact, you’re going to be rewarded for dying because it’s faster than recalling.”
