Riot teases League of Legends Classic, full reveal July 11

After a bunch of decidedly low-poly character models started leaking from League of Legends's public test servers, Riot decided to pull the ripcord: League of Legends Classic is real. The reveal came as a skit called "200 Years of Experience," in which League of Legends executive producer Paul "Pabro" Bellezza is trapped in a Pepe Silvia nightmare trying to conceptualize the ideal era for the mode.

"Is it season one? Is it season four," he wonders. "Could it have been season two, when we started having jungle pathing? Could it be when we had Heart of Gold? It was a shell! Why was it named Heart of Gold?" He doesn't clarify when the mode will be set, and the leaks suggest it could be a blend of things that changes over time; the video's description states a full reveal will come on July 11 during the MSI Finals.

League of Legends has properly Ship of Theseus'd itself over the years, and a lot of questions come with an announcement like this. Will the old set of currencies be used for unlocking characters?
