BREAKING: RIOT GAMES to introduce LUXURY TAX for 2025 season. Orgs spending over $500,000 on player payroll will be forced to play one match with BabyJ in the starting lineup.

This news comes just over 2 weeks ahead of the transfer window, and may potentially blow up deals.

~~if not bait this is crazy~~
maybe I should actually read before commenting...
but a spending cap is actually probably a good thing for them to implement

the current system incentivises orgs to just throw money at players (and for the players to request a ridiculous amount), a cap would help them spend responsibly which is good for their longevity and therefore the esport. thats just my opinion though

i mean it's not a bad thing either. Good players deserve a lot of money. The orgs that are in franchising should have plenty of money to use and if they dont they can pay their players less or go for cheaper players.

I agree good players deserve more, but the base expectations for everyone are too high rn, it's unsustainable as it is for most orgs, at least in NA. For franchising to work all 3 of these need to be in profit: Riot, Orgs and Players, and currently the orgs are getting the short end of the stick. Orgs shouldn't have to decide between risking bankruptcy while making a potential LAN winning roster and signing the cheapest players with no hopes to win anything

Riot is mostly at fault though. They cant definitely increase prize money for tournaments since they make many many millions
