League of Legends players have launched a petition demanding the removal of Riot Games CEO Dylan Jadeja, with over 12,000 signatures gathered so far. The community's frustration stems from recent controversial changes and decisions affecting the game.

Key concerns include:

  • 2024 company layoffs
  • Missing Hextech chests
  • Introduction of gacha mechanics for skins
  • Removal of Honor Capsules and Orbs
  • Lack of free skins during Arcane season two
  • Quality issues with the Noxus Battle Pass

The petition, started by player Sam G on change.org, argues that under Jadeja's leadership, the game has prioritized profits over player experience. The movement has gained significant traction, with supporters discussing potential escalation strategies:

  • Organizing a player strike
  • Planning peaceful protests at Riot headquarters
  • Expanding the movement to influential regions like Korea
  • Setting signature goals of 20,000 to 100,000

The community's primary goal is to be heard by Riot Games and initiate meaningful changes to restore the game's player-focused approach. While Riot hasn't yet responded to the petition, the growing support suggests this movement isn't likely to fade away soon.

This grassroots effort represents a significant moment in League of Legends' history, as players unite to voice their concerns about the game's future direction and management decisions.
