The blackout helped reddit do server maintenance lol.

The bad part about playing wf now is the crazy power creep. Once you get those meta incarnons, everything else feels lackluster. As someone who has done it all on Switch and re-grinding on PS5 the best advice I can give you is to play the game based on what you like to do best. For me, I riven trade alot so I tend to farm SE/slivers and do the weekly archons.
