League of Legends fans have identified a significant concern with Season 15's Atakhan feature making professional play less dynamic and predictable.

Atakhan, introduced in Season 15, has become a contentious topic in the competitive scene, particularly during the 2025 LCK Cup and LEC Winter Split. The neutral objective, which spawns at the 20-minute mark in either top or bottom river, exists in two versions: Voracious and Ruinous Atakhan.

The Voracious Atakhan grants a one-time death mitigation buff, allowing players to return to base instead of dying. This mechanic has drawn criticism from the community, who argue it rewards reckless gameplay rather than strategic decision-making.

Key community concerns include:

• Death mitigation buff makes teamfights predictable
• Encourages aggressive play without consequences
• Serves as a faster alternative to recalling
• Diminishes viewing experience in professional matches

While some players defend Atakhan's role in promoting more aggressive gameplay, most agree the current implementation is too powerful. Riot Games has already implemented minor adjustments to Voracious Atakhan's respawn rate, though more significant changes may be necessary as the competitive season progresses.
