I checked the numbers on League just before that comment. They’re still at about the 100k average they’ve been since the beginning of Twitch Tracker’s history for it in 2017, with a similar bump that chess got during the pandemic. I’m all for those evergreen competitive games; I refuse to play LoL anymore, among other reasons, because it can’t ever be one of those. But I’m very confident that LoL has the numbers it does because it continually introduced new things, and that always has an expiration date.
