Famous streamer announces “out of game” after Riot’s changes
Among the League of Legends streamers in Vietnam, if you were to look for a name rich in expertise and also possessing a warm communication style with fans, Hà Tiều Phu would likely be at the top of the list. He is also one of the veteran names in the Vietnamese League of Legends scene and although he doesn’t compete professionally, this male streamer still attracts a large fanbase. With good gaming skills, especially in creating new gameplay styles, Hà Tiều Phu is very popular. However, he is currently considering “quitting” his familiar content creation style.
Accordingly, the male streamer announced that he will temporarily stop creating content focused on unique gameplay tips or reviewing Riot’s changes and will instead “try hard” to rank in Korea. The reason given by Hà Tiều Phu is: “Riot’s changes now only aim to force players to focus on champions instead of items or runes. There’s nothing particularly special, and it’s really boring if you have to play the same champions with the same item builds day in and day out.”
The VCS community also empathizes with the male streamer
Hà Tiều Phu’s announcement has received much sympathy and debate from the Vietnamese League of Legends community. According to many opinions, Riot’s focus on adjusting Summoner’s Rift, as well as external factors like buffs, Atakhan… in recent updates has created interest but also easily leads to player boredom.
This is because League of Legends does not have a balancing mechanism like some other MOBA games. And some champions can only build certain items. If there is any “creativity”, it can easily be seen as game-breaking or ineffective. Therefore, players are also “reluctant” to create “unique” gameplay styles.
But perhaps, even Riot does not know how to adjust to ensure a balanced game as desired. And during this time, perhaps Hà Tiều Phu and other League of Legends players, even if they feel frustrated, will have to accept Riot’s policies.
