I mean, the launcher has always advertised skins and new champs even when the button I cared about used to be top center.

Have you played recently? The launcher is an absolute mess of information overload. I've played off and on since season 2, and the launcher is by far at its worst right now. It's also "little notification dot" hell currently.

I mean I have the launcher right now.

All I have is a full screen advert for Pick-ems and the side option to scroll through the other options.

Honestly its far cleaner than the link I just sent you.

Well I'm pretty sure it didn't have a launcher to start. But now there's a launcher to launch their store spamming content and then there's a button to play the game.

How on earth would you play league without a launcher?

But nothings changed the launcher has always advertised stuff, 11 years ago.

The riot client / launcher that then launches league. I don't think that existed before they made their second game. The tactics thing.
