With the "worship" League of Legends community, Fearless Draft is still difficult to apply because of Riot's "habit" itself

The League of Legends community praised Fearless Draft but there were still problems.


Fearless Draft mode will still be difficult to apply widely in the current League of Legends


In fact, Fearless Draft has been applied for LPL since 2024 but only really gained and resonated when the LCK and the APAC area use a tournament to test this mode. Immediately, Fearless Draft became a "loving" by the LoL community to "worship" because of the attractiveness and diversity of generals that can be used by strong teams.

Fearless Draft mode is getting more and more affection from LoL audience.


The matches between T1 - HLE and HLE - Gen.G alone, more than 60 generals appeared (in both ban and selection). In particular, some "weird" exercises are also applied as Camille supports or Lee Sin the top line. In short, the League of Legends community is asking Riot early to apply Fearless Draft to all the remaining tournaments this year. However, this seems to be impossible in the present.

This banned image is not often seen in LCK for about 5 years.


First, Fearless Draft will force teams to expand the general. For some players like Showmaker or Chovy, this is completely normal. But with Faker will be a big problem. His Mel and Aurora are not really effective when used. Even Faker's Mel has a "self -destruct" because he has not yet grasped the mechanism of reflective glass.


Of course, the benefits of Chung will still be more than the benefits of some players. But from here, there is a problem about how to balance the champion of Riot. At the present time, most generals have not proved too hegemony. But if Riot continues to create more new K'Sante or Mel in the future, Fearless Draft will immediately have a problem with balance and will have continuous champions.


Not to mention, the players will have great pressure on expanding the general tank in a short time. For example, Smash is said to be the three generals "short" of Gumayusi but did not operate the generals of the elder's forte, such as Draven, Jinx or Jhin. Or when Ruler was forced to choose a weak wing, he immediately became "harmless and defeated" - according to LPL fans' comments.

Smash proved to be ineffective when he had to hold the generals that helped T1 won the titles.


Professional League of Legends will probably apply the whole Fearless Draft but not now


Of course, League of Legends may also apply Fearless Draft to the entire tournament in the future. But that's when the players are familiar with the expansion of the general tank from the meta, as well as Riot no longer create "200 years" generals too strong compared to the rest to make the game unbalanced.
