While what makes a game of competitive League <\/em>entertaining is entirely at the viewer\u2019s discretion, it\u2019s clear that the number of average kills per game is down this Summer Split. LCS games are playing host to over four fewer kills per game this summer in comparison to the average from the last three competitive splits, according to League <\/em>stats site Games of Legends<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>
The slower game pace in the LCS is a direct result of League<\/em>\u2019s recently implemented \u201cdurability update<\/a>,\u201d a patch that increased defensive stats for all champions in the game, ultimately discouraging early-game aggression at the highest level of play.\u00a0<\/p>
The average viewer count of LCS games this summer has dropped substantially since last year\u2019s Summer Split, with approximately 40,000 fewer viewers watching matches this summer in comparison to the 2021 Summer Split, according to viewership data site EsportsCharts<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>
