The victory of the WBG pointed out the extremely bad mechanism of League of Legends season 2025
On January 12, the professional League of Legends village was exciting again when LPL 2025 Split 1 officially opened with the encounter without weight between WBG and OMG. With superior force, WBG did not let OMG create any surprises and won 3-0 easily. It should be known that the WBG is in the same table with another extremely strong opponent named JDG, so this victory will help Xiaohu and his teammates take a small advantage in the race to the first place in the table.
WBG had a perfect start at LPL 2025 Split 1 with a 3-0 victory over OMG
Not stopping there, WBG's victory also helped the audience to follow the tournament to find the worst mechanism of the 2025 season. Accordingly, the WBG victories were quite “one -way” and OMG had no significant resistance. The reason comes from the fact that this team captures a new goal called Atakhan, they have a great power to roll the snowfall and win. Even in the 3rd game when OMG had a good start, getting the whole string of power but once the WBG owns Atakhan target, they can win quite simply afterwards.
Despite being led in game 3, only the WBG captured Atakhan and they can win after about 5 minutes.
It is clear that when the audience's position, Atakhan goal is really a very bad mechanism when it almost eliminates all the attractiveness or surprise of the match. Basically, the talisman that it brings is too strong and helps the team to capture it to have too many advantages to win. Moreover, this goal is also closely related to the ability to handle macro and move on the team's map. Therefore, strong teams with methodical plays (such as the WBG in the last match) can easily suppress the opponent and eliminate the “flip” emotional phase.
“Today's match is really too boring to watch.
“Do you know what is the most annoying thing about the new goal atakhan? That is, it provides free of charge quickly after being defeated. Moreover, the team owns it also receives more gold when there is a life while the other team receives less” – A pressing gamer shared shared
“After this Bo5 match, everyone realized the difference between the two teams. The weaker team has no chance to counterattack, especially with the new goal of Atakhan” – another player concluded
League of Legends needs a great change in the future
Basically, right from the 2025 season landing in League, the gaming community has felt the imbalance of the game. A series of statistics in the ranking mode shows the winning rate of mechanisms such as string of power, 3 -level shoes … is at the extremely high threshold. This means that the element of snowball in the League of Legends has become stronger and makes the matches too easy to guess.
The effect that Atakhan brings is really a reduced power
It should be known that in professional matches, the players will know how to take advantage of the smallest advantage to win. And when the game provides them with too many tools to roll the current snowball (string of power, Atakhan charm …), the players can end the match in extremely short time. Obviously, in terms of watching the tournament, the audience does not want to witness too many “one -way” matches and easy to guess. Hopefully Riot Games will soon have a reasonable editing plan to improve this problem.
