Overview & Key Takeaways

Voting in The Council community poll in League Classic will change the games direction. Here's how to vote in the poll.

The Council allows you to change how League Classic is played through the power of your votes. Players can vote in a community poll to express their thoughts on the current state of the game, which in turn will change the direction that League Classic will go. Some questions will ask for your general opinion, while others will ask if certain gameplay mechanics should be added or removed.

However, the community poll is only open for a week, so if you're enjoying League Classic, it's important to make your voice heard. Here's how to vote in The Council in League Classic.


How to vote in The Council in League Classic

To participate in The Council community poll, make sure you're at least level 5 in League Classic, so you have voting power. Voting power will make your choices more impactful, and the only way to gain more voting power is to play more League Classic. You can increase your voting power by reaching level 15 and 25 on the Classic Progression Track, and purchasing the voting power boost on page three of Classic Pass: Act 1.

To vote in the community poll, open the League of Legends client, and select the "Classic" tab at the top. Then, click "The Council" box in the bottom right corner of the screen, which will open a pop-up containing the poll questions. This poll will close at 1 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, Sept. 2, so make sure to cast your vote before then!

The first poll includes the following questions:

Question 1: How does game length feel?

  1. Way too short
  2. Too short

  1. Zz'Rot Portal
  2. Cloak and Dagger
  3. Moonflair Spellblade
  4. All 3
  5. None

Question 4: Should Classic add jungle timers? If options 1 and 2 receive more than 50% combined, the higher of those two options wins.

  1. Yes โ€” Add modern jungle timers that are always visible on the minimap
  2. Yes โ€” Only when the scoreboard is open
  3. No โ€” Keep the current minimap

Question 5: Should we keep base gates in the game?

Question 7: Do you feel that the ward trinkets improve Classic gameplay?

Portal-Like Shooter Splitgate Died Once, And Itโ€™s Dying Again โ€ฆ Kind Of

Some games just aren't long for this world, and thatโ€™s exactly the case with the Portal-like and Halo-like shooter Splitgate: Arena Reloaded(Arena Reloaded), which is getting put on a form of life support starting in early September. Developer 1047 Games took to X on August 26(https://x.com/1047Games/status/2092654331841724551) to announce the news. In a lengthy statement, the team shared that active development for Splitgate: Arena Reloaded is ending, effective immediately. At the same time, the team's other game, the 6v6 Titanfall-like movement shooter Empulse(https://www.gamespot.com/games/empulse/), will also no longer receive any more updates. https://twitter.com/1047Games/status/2092654331841724551 "The reality is that neither game is generating enough revenue to support the ongoing cost of dedicated servers," 1047 Games said. "We have continued covering the costs because we wanted to give both games every opportunity to grow, but we have reached the point where that is no longer sustainable. We have loved working on these games, playing them, and building them with this community, and we wish we could continue supporting them." Despite development ending for both games, 1047 Games said that neither one will simply get shut down. Instead, both Empulse and Splitgate: Arena Reloaded have been "reworked to support peer-to-peer play." So, starting September 3, the dedicated servers will go offline, and both games will be playable for the foreseeable future through a P2P server-hosting browser. This means that you'll only be able to find matches when other people are online and hosting games instead of relying on servers to find games for you. This is exactly what happened with the first Splitgate(https://www.gamespot.com/games/splitgate/) in August 2025. Released in 2019, the dedicated servers went offline on August 29, 2025, and entered a similar peer-to-peer multiplayer environment. It's a bit of a bummer, actually. Originally released as Splitgate 2 before re-entering a beta form in June 2025 and returning as Splitgate: Arena Reloaded in December 2025, the game was giving Portal(https://www.gamespot.com/games/portal/)-like mechanics, Halo(https://www.gamespot.com/?gamefranchise=halo)-esque shooting, and Quake(https://www.gamespot.com/games/quake/)-like movement in a very fast-paced environment. As a sequel to Splitgate, it also expanded what the original did by adding a 60-player battle royale mode and a map creator called the Lab. Unfortunately, now, Splitgate: Arena Reloaded will get nothing new to make it exciting and fresh again. On the other hand, Empulse will receive one final update sometime soon that adds a new map, along with a cross-regional price cut. After this, what you see is what you get.
