I have had my fair share of complaints about the game over the years, but for the most part it's been enjoyable and the updates coming out have greatly increased the quality of the game. This new patch is not one of those.

I scroll through the patch notes, the new agent looks great, I'm a fan of the map changes - and then I see that RIOT GAMES are removing Widejoy next patch.

The one thing keeping me logging into the game was the delight and wonder of using widejoy. The sheer awe that the pixelated, stretched banner gives me was incomparable. The love and warmth that filled my heart seeing a fellow player using the widejoy banner made me feel personally connected to the community in a way that no subreddit or forum could.

Riot, please don't remove the greatest addition to the game of all time. I know not just me but countless players log on just to have the experience of using the widejoy banner. You're ruining your game by taking out one of the most influential and important pieces of content the game has seen.

If Riot remove the banner next patch, unfortunately you won't see me logging on anymore.
