Since the release of TFT, LoL took a huge hit in viewers. That fact aligned with the rise of popularity of Battleroyal games (yesterday Apex released Ranked and season 2).
IWD has been very vocal on stream about it and yesterday made a twitter post about it:

Personally, I think this has to due with the fact that ranked is a huge coinflip and very frustrating to play. I think this phrase someone posted in the same twitter post sums it up pretty well:
"This is what happens when you go from "best player carries the game" to "worst player loses the game" in your balancing policy."
What do you guys think? The LoL downfall is here after so many years or not quite?
