>Are you excited for the upcoming League of Legends
no

it's never coming out. modern video game companies including Riot are full of snoys that can barely do anything right. Just look at Link's Awakening. One of the largest video game companies couldn't even get the framerates right on launch despite it being just a simple remake of a nearly 30 year old game.

I have no faith in Riot either, but I do think the Rising Thunder team know what they're doing. At the very least it's going to have good netcode and support.

Riot will fuck it up.
They couldn't even make an Autochess clone that wasn't horribly buggy and unbalanced, do you really think they can pull off a fighter?

They can't even keep their "studio" running with limitless cashflow

Teamfight Tactics was a FOTM game mode rushed out to compete with Autochess and Dota Underlords. Fighting games aren't very popular, and they bought a seperate studio that has been working on it for several years by now. It seems like they want to be the company to make fighting games to break out big or something. That being said I don't have any expectations on the game actually being good, but they're probably gonna try to push it hard.

thanks for the censor, I can now open this image at work

Why does she look so happy and satisfied?

at least it'll have a playerbase, unlike every other fighting game

>Not quitting the game once they delete your main

If their fighting game does end up doing wel it's gonna be because of the IP and not the game itself. DBFZ has terrible balance but holds a steady playerbase even on PC because it's Dragonball and I can see a League fighter doing well for the same reason even if it ends up being bad.

They made him better, why would I quit? I'm not some kind of nostalfag or competitivefag

>If their fighting game does end up doing wel it's gonna be because of the IP
Are you implying Riot can make videogames?

>Why would I quit playing a game that doesn't care about me anymore
I forgot the only people that play anymore are suicidally depressed

Riot literally went to EVO this year to announce they're making a fighting game, whether or not they end up finishing it is anyone's guess

>Riot literally went to EVO this year to announce they're making a fighting game
How many games have hey announced that were never released?

Yeah, they made a game more popular than any game you enjoy.

None, because they don't announce their scrapped projects. Closest thing I can think of when it comes to a game announcement that Riot's had is that card game, and that was leaked on Twitter and not officially announced.

Who? The suicidal depressed whales? If by "popular" you mean sucking China's cock to milk 50th generation farmers of their social credits because they don't understand money, then sure.

>they don't announce their scrapped projects
Right, they scrap them after the announce them.

She's a slut and is really excited about getting some fresh dick, even if it means most of her body being in a toiler.

Would anyone play this game if it didn't have good artstyle/cute girls/cosmetics? Serious question?

I dropped league 2 years ago after wasting wasting 5 years of my life and probably $200 on it

I really hope not.

You mean that Flash game that came out on April Fool's? Because that came out. And that fighting game was being developed well before Riot's acquisition of the studio. Wouldn't even surprise me if Riot's fighter is just that old one reskinned with the League IP.

Now we're talking

I hope they make it more dynamic and not a pared down, bootleg Street Fighter 4.
I'd hope they go with quarter circles instead of dedicated buttons, or a dedicated button that puts out different specials depending on direction, the way most recent fighters have dealt with specials. Rising Thunder's design was too limited.

Nah, there was also some sort of FPS in 2015

Also, why are you defending Riot?

No feet = no buy

Attached: Crust coon.png (1366x768, 539K)

I don't think it will have any special motion inputs. One of their main goals is probably to make the game feel like it belongs on PC, and shit like quarter circles don't feel very intuitive on keyboard. Not to mention they'll want to sell it to their current player base, which probably isn't into fighting games at all.

>Working on a FPS in 2015
>Links an article from 2013 that shows a fan project fighting game and no mention of a FPS
Batting 1000 my dude
And I'm not defending Riot, they're a crew of hacks and retards that got lucky to be where they are, but I'm not gonna make shit up just to bash them when they have plenty of things they've actually done to shit on them for.

They had all sort of new hires over the years for R&D and the guy they hired in 2015 said he was working for them and loved FPS games. Practically every year they announced some sort of "secret" project that never came to fruition. Lets not forget the map they kept teasing and then never released, or the card game that's still not been announced to be cancelled that was leaked all the way back in 2013 that they tried to release multiple times (Once was during the Shurima lore rewrite)

Yeah it's not really a surprise though. In the 10+ years of Riot's existence the only games they've gotten off the ground are a Dota clone and an Auto Chess clone, which is pretty embarrassing for a company their size. But I guess when you have a golden goose like LoL you don't really need to do much of anything other than keep marketing rolling with expensive cinematics, animations and esports crap.

As long as it isn't like RT's design of having to pick and choose your specials, having only three at once. I hated how Dauntless could not have both versions of Hook at once.

Kind of. In theory it'll be awesome and I can wreck people with Shyvana/Zac/Leona without having to play LoL.

What does this even mean

Yordles all have a biological/magical defense mechanism that makes them appear to be human beings at a glance, unless the person is especially perceptive or personally knows the Yordle.

yes!

They can't even make a balanced and fun MOBA and in all likelyhood best girl Orianna won't be in it. All the attention and balance will go to things that are broken, badly designed and annoying to fight because people like playing those.

I bet human Poppy is just as cute her smol real form

Because getting people hooked on a multiplayer game with micro transactions earns them a lot more money.

no

Also they fired DZK, the one asshole who was going around twitter telling LoL players that they're all bigots. Riot is pretty much the only gaming company I've known to excise that sentiment from their workforce.

No, they're just taking out some of the more public faces. When a company has been taken over, it's extremely difficult to remove them because they've been hiring using that as a major criteria. It's not just HR and PR types, it's on basically all levels. I'm talking about asking people if they supported one lolisports announcer over another because they perceived him to be "toxic" but couldn't kick him because he was too popular.

see you in another 5 years buddy

They actually can't anymore, their profits are dwindling as most of the US and not Europe are quitting in droves. They've already been milking the game for all it's worth for 6 years now.

How would a LoL fighting game even work when half the characters are ranged?

A whole lot of zoning.
A whole lot of variation in projectile properties and speeds.
A whole lot of characters with fireballs that don't go fullscreen.
A whole lot of characters with dead angle projectiles so they aren't just traveling straight.
