If they make MMO games, I'll bet it has something to do with league of legends or anything like that, and its fricking boring.
Riot is a game company that didnt have a balls to make a brand new IP without any involvement with league of legends.
They might be the only big established company with a genuine shot. The lore and world are basically already made for them (WoW also had that advantage). They also have a huge, established, and loyal fanbase. Their funder Tencent is giving them no deadline and can provide nigh-infinite resources. They got the lion’s share of the Blizzard brain drain, so potentially a lot of experienced MMO people determined to make a better game. And they have a lot of vidya industry big names, first among them being Ghostcrawler himself, who led WoW through its best years, and has a great openness for communication with the players.
No joke, I think we may potentially have the prophesized WoW killer incoming. If Dragonflight doesn’t save WoW from its decay, the Riot MMO may end up being the o e to give the coup de grace.
It means they lack creativity and doesnt have balls to establish a new IP, simple as
>putting the same character, lore, and universe from 2009 game to a bunch of 'new' game is le creative
Well, yeah. To be successful, MMOs only need to attract enough horny shitters to ERP all day long and have grindy enough "content" to keep autists playing for bigger numbers.
Making a good game on the other hand...
I think they are the only company able to do it at the moment because the dev team are not forced to make a WoW clone, have no deadline and basically unlimited resources unlike any other mmo ever.
Pretty much every predictor of their games before just makes people get hyped, people expect a F2P MMO without P2W mechanics, big huge world to explore, huge balanced PvP scene since they have League, huge PvE raids, etc.
It's going to have that but for me what people are not gonna like is the gameplay itself, Riot's games are hit or miss and LoR moved people away because people didn't like it, and also LoR had very little crazy combos since it was so focused in being fair. So people's biggest fair should be, the MMO being too safe and boring, or having a huge gimmick that's going to filter them. And I think that's going to happen.
The LoL was originally just humorous set dressing for the gameplay, they didn’t really thought it in depth. People were starting to ask for a more serious and well-developed lore they could invest in. And when the dev team starting developing Aurelion Sol, they got the excuse: there’s no way a TITANIC STAR-FORGING DRAGON would mesh well with the tongue-in-cheek cast of fantasy character parodies and wouldn’t humor doing gladiatorial fighting for the Summoner’s Guild. So Riot made a grand reboot of the lore.
Bullshit. The journal of justice was more in-depth world-building than nu-league ever had.
Original league was a fleshed out, humorous but breathing world, similar to discworld. Nu-league is a bunch of window dressing for the champs' personal stories and nothing else matters.
the lore reboot was because riot was working on the mmo. Richard lewis in 2015 reported that riot was working on a csgo clone and a LoL successor. Its also the same year they hired warhammer 40k writers to write the lore for them and 2 years later the universe site launched with dev videos talking about the world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxjiCFo0NZM
maybe? It depends. I think a lot of people are going to be let down because I think its going to be a fairly simple game (think 4 abilities like LoL), and I don't think its going to have the complexity of XIV/WoW. They're going to make it as casual as possible to attract as many people as possible. Also, I expect it might have some kind of mobile port at some point because of Riot's increased targeting towards China. Ultimately I expect something similar to Lost Ark, with a slightly better story, and less P2W but more 'buy to look good'. I don't think its an mmo that is targeting existing players of others mmos, but rather a new audience of players from Riot's other titles.
except it’s full of pozzed Californians, when they released the phone game they censored most of the female outfits. i imagine the MMO will have even more censorship
You have a game made by rainbow hairs to an audience of CCP chinks and you're not surprised the game gets censored to shit? If its no the trannies crying about the cleavage, then its the chinese censors crying about the cleavage.
if the cardgame is any indication, it'll have a solid foundation and proceed to be ruined by bad, uninspired additions that make the game progressively worse until it makes the blandest games blush by how linear it is
Thresh, he was a blatantly overloaded cancer that was better than every other support, and people applauded it because he was “LE ESPORTS BIG PLAYMAKING SUPPORT”
he set up the trend of Riot making new champions better than everything that already exists for the sake of “hype” and also the trend of people circlejerking support players when they are shit at the game and boosted by their role
Jarvan 4 was the beginning. People regularly ran things other than Flash before him, he cemented Flash meta and is nearly a 100% pick/ban by pros today. Then Ahri came along with her hyper mobility cancer. Zed was fricking busted and asiaticclick "plays" from faker made riot realize flashy teleporting champs sell, before him assassins were just faceroll champions for low elo players to goof around with, he completely ruined the game. Thresh was just the typical overloaded kit cancer than is a staple for new champions today.
Season two was peak league.
Whenever riot makes a new game (rather, refine an old genre) the competition just starts feeling outdated. It happened to dota, it happened to autochess, it happened to hearthstone, it happened to counter strike and it will happen to wow.
Why will you sit there playing wow when WOR is just the improved version in every way?lul
It was because it was supposed to supplant CSGO in chink markets and it totally failed to do so.
Instead it ended up supplanting CSGO in NA, which is still moderately impressive but not nearly as big of a market
Riot games are without exception soulless and sterile to the point that it sucks out whatever tiny bit of potential for fun their games might have had so an MMO seems like the perfect fit for them.
I don't play league but based on Arcane and Legends of Runeterra, they have the capability to make a fleshed out and interesting fantasy world. Gameplay is another matter entirely.
Yeah. I'm not opposed to being capable if the enemy gets close. I just don't want that to be my only thing, like it would be for a dedicated swordsman or spearman. If I can throw grenades, I'm happy.
>think about playing again >remember they deleted every character I liked >remember they only make generic anime boys and girls now >remember aurelion sol is still nerfed >lose all interest
Maybe they used to, but riot has lately been mass hiring from Blizzard. even lots of WoW designers. truly cursed people to have on your team. I doubt they can pull it off with those idiots on board.
not even a fraction as bad. What planet are you on.
If Riot were in control of overwatch from release. It'd be one of the biggest games in the world today.
Now I know you're a shill, they just banned 2 players from Valorant for teabagging someone. They also doxed their real names on social media to try ruin their lives and get them fired. Then when players complained, they doubled down on it.
I found this game a lot more fun when champions had simpler kits with point and click abilities.
No 10 passives and a skill shot with true damage and shield bullshit.
It was nice how much slower gameplay was back then. No 100-0 in 0.5 seconds. Players with ping in the 80 range could easily compete with players around 20 because of it. You could just play chill instead of doing autistic moron asiaticclick shit.
>Large established setting to the the MMO on. >The funds and time to make it work. >Already said it wont be just for everyone as they intend a proper MMO, so maybe they got focus.
Purely on paper the signs are good and i expect Zaun to be the ERP central with yordle hookers.
I wish they had the balls to make it to where you play as the champs and not random Black person 27 who suddenly outdoes every near god like entity in the game.
>Literal real life gods in game >But my Yordle from Bumfrickistan actually kills him with my wooden popper gun in raid
Just let yourself be fricking Pantheon and it make sense why you can fight a god and win.
You know the story is just going to be wow you got some Chemical X on you which actually made you stronger then the rest. Its shit
No. The current "proven" path, aka WoW themeparks has largely shown to be deadends that is open to content droughts, lack of socialization, etc. However given Riot's previous track record (Valorant), they will probably be going the same path. They might survive for longer due to recency bias and new fans, but it will inevitably reach the same problems as WoW and FFXIV.
>deadends
You are not living in reality. For almost all of MMO's existence themepark has absolutely eclipsed open world MMOs by orders of magnitude of popularity and income.
>You are not living in reality. For almost all of MMO's existence themepark has absolutely eclipsed open world MMOs by orders of magnitude of popularity and income.
You haven't been looking at the stagnancy of the genre for the last 10 years either. Of course themeparks beat sandboxes in popularity and income, that's why everyone copied them. That's also exactly when when the real alternative (gatcha) came up, the medium dried up and died as that popularity and income isn't sustainable. You've seen Lost Ark, these games eventually deevolve into bullshit lobby simulator jobs. That's why we need to go back to the original route and push forward a new path from there, not the current path which goes nowhere. If whatever results is less popular, so be it, reliable income from loyal fanbase > unsustainable income from fotm
None of that has anything to do with thenepark vs sandbox
A theme park doesn't mean you have to allow the rides to be done solo
Content drought complaints are almost universally from players not actually completing the content, wouldn't change in a sandbox if they refuse to engage
They definitely have the funding, but design wise? Hell fricking no.
It's just going to be more not-so-subtle activism autism plagued by MTX and lootbox/gachashit in some way, MMOs have been long dead because of this cancer.
There's also not a day that goes by without me lamenting how characters like Ahri are trapped in such shitty games/the company as a whole, it's a real shame Valorant didn't die from the get-go but all the shilling, especially from streamoids, certainly helped push all the hypehomosexualry prone consoomers into bailing them out monetarily.
Truly unfortunate.
>There's also not a day that goes by without me lamenting how characters like Ahri are trapped in such shitty games/the company as a whole
Now let's be fair, anon.
Neither Ahri nor Sona are anywhere unique or special enough to be deemed one of the kind type of characters that can not be replaced/recreated in another IP.
They are not "iconic" enough as far as they inherent characters are. You can call them iconic for the game or their visage being tied to it, but they are hardly special as far as their characters and personalities are concerned.
They definitely have the funding, but design wise? Hell fricking no.

>literally miku and generic fox girl
so this is the power of riots creative department...
It will be nothing like that game. If anything, it will either be more like WoW or more like Lost Ark. There's absolutely no way Riot makes a PvP-focused crafting survival MMO.
Riot will invest a lot of money to make sure the games launch will be successful
the initial zones, quests and overall storyline will be amazing and people will have fun experimenting
the first expansion will be released after 2-3 years from vanilla launch and it will be good, people will be optimistic for future expansions
the 2nd expansion will already have put in half the work of the first but make double the revenue
riot will realize this and subsequently release expansions every year that drag the game down in the gutter until finally we hit rock bottom
i dont play league, i dont play valorant. Ive had no interest in anything Riot related. However, if i was going to give any current dev the opportunity to make an actual good MMO it would be riot. They have funding out the ass, an established world with a frickload of lore to draw from, and the resources to keep up with the demand for content.
It may not be everyones cup of tea, but they have a chance to be like what wow was when it released.
>League of legends
In on of the worst spots it's ever been

BOOOOORING, gets old faster than milk.

Ahri is very pretty!
Needs a spade
I don't think she has ever done manual labour.
Oh, that thing. So she kills black people then, that's pretty cool.
Is that what she tells you when she goes naked in the plantation
That's her whole thing, she takes the souls of people. Good thing she only targets black people then.
Their...soul. that's a funny way to say it xD
xD
>she takes the souls of

It's the gingers that don't have one.

If they make MMO games, I'll bet it has something to do with league of legends or anything like that, and its fricking boring.
Riot is a game company that didnt have a balls to make a brand new IP without any involvement with league of legends.
Of course it’s gonna be related to league. Why wouldn’t it? It has a massive fanbase and an established world.
It means they lack creativity and doesnt have balls to establish a new IP, simple as
>creativity is only starting from scratch
>putting the same character, lore, and universe from 2009 game to a bunch of 'new' game is le creative
Say literally one thing that has ever been unique ever.
You
You are moronic, simple as
They might be the only big established company with a genuine shot. The lore and world are basically already made for them (WoW also had that advantage). They also have a huge, established, and loyal fanbase. Their funder Tencent is giving them no deadline and can provide nigh-infinite resources.

No joke, I think we may potentially have the prophesized WoW killer incoming. If Dragonflight doesn’t save WoW from its decay, the Riot MMO may end up being the o e to give the coup de grace.
Warcraft was an established IP as well.
Are you telling me Valorant is part of the LoL universe?
>he doesnt know
Probably has the potential to push WoW fully into the irrelevant status if Dragonflight doesn't do so first but I doubt it will blow anyones socks off
of course they will, look at almost every other big fricking MMO, its all either ancient as frick or based on existing IP and often both
Well, yeah. To be successful, MMOs only need to attract enough horny shitters to ERP all day long and have grindy enough "content" to keep autists playing for bigger numbers.
Making a good game on the other hand...
I think they are the only company able to do it at the moment because the dev team are not forced to make a WoW clone, have no deadline and basically unlimited resources unlike any other mmo ever.
There have been tons of MMOs with no deadline and unlimited resources. The real issue is that the talent pool for MMOdev is filled with poison.
Name them.
Its going to look bad, these guys always make their games for toasters
making a great MMO in 2022 is not possible, thanks in part due to the environment created by riot's shitty esports game
Pretty much every predictor of their games before just makes people get hyped, people expect a F2P MMO without P2W mechanics, big huge world to explore, huge balanced PvP scene since they have League, huge PvE raids, etc.
It's going to have that but for me what people are not gonna like is the gameplay itself, Riot's games are hit or miss and LoR moved people away because people didn't like it, and also LoR had very little crazy combos since it was so focused in being fair. So people's biggest fair should be, the MMO being too safe and boring, or having a huge gimmick that's going to filter them. And I think that's going to happen.
Riot has the potential to make a good game, yes, but MMO's have a stigma for a reason.
Why did they change the lore and characters as the years went by?
The LoL was originally just humorous set dressing for the gameplay, they didn’t really thought it in depth. People were starting to ask for a more serious and well-developed lore they could invest in. And when the dev team starting developing Aurelion Sol, they got the excuse: there’s no way a TITANIC STAR-FORGING DRAGON would mesh well with the tongue-in-cheek cast of fantasy character parodies and wouldn’t humor doing gladiatorial fighting for the Summoner’s Guild. So Riot made a grand reboot of the lore.
But it would? That's mostly an execution problem, though scaling would remain a problem.
the whole summoner/Institute of War thing went by the wayside long before Sol
Bullshit. The journal of justice was more in-depth world-building than nu-league ever had.

They do have very sexy characters. Thats already half the job done.
except it’s full of pozzed Californians, when they released the phone game they censored most of the female outfits. i imagine the MMO will have even more censorship
>when they released the phone game they censored most of the female outfits
prove it
Here’s Evelynn, phone version on left PC on right
and Janna as well, IMO the outfit is an improvement but you can’t deny it represents a deliberate attempt to make her less sexy.
Janna always did look kind of stupid basic but covering up that tummy is a crime
You have a game made by rainbow hairs to an audience of CCP chinks and you're not surprised the game gets censored to shit? If its no the trannies crying about the cleavage, then its the chinese censors crying about the cleavage.
I was thinking the same thing. They censor even the artworks in the pc game like caitlyn. Im 90% sure that its going to be woke.
Look how they've maintained LoL over the years and apply that to a living MMO and tell me you have faith in Riot Games to do a good job.
If Ahri had a massive bush of pubic hair would it be black or white?
if the cardgame is any indication, it'll have a solid foundation and proceed to be ruined by bad, uninspired additions that make the game progressively worse until it makes the blandest games blush by how linear it is
They won't try to remake classic Ultima Online so no
Who killed League, Ganker? Ahri, Darius, Zed, or Thresh? The game was fricked before Jinx and Yasuo.
Ahri was the first bell, Zed was the death knell
master yi and tryndamere. they should just erase thoser characters from existence.
I know they're easily counterable and shit but they just set the whole game up for dumb shit.
Thresh, he was a blatantly overloaded cancer that was better than every other support, and people applauded it because he was “LE ESPORTS BIG PLAYMAKING SUPPORT”
he set up the trend of Riot making new champions better than everything that already exists for the sake of “hype” and also the trend of people circlejerking support players when they are shit at the game and boosted by their role

Season two was peak league.
Taiwan is a country.
if by great you mean a grindy larpfest then yeah.
Valorant is pretty tight. I have no idea why they would go and make CS, AGAIN. no originality. but it's a suprisingly well made game.
Whenever riot makes a new game (rather, refine an old genre) the competition just starts feeling outdated. It happened to dota, it happened to autochess, it happened to hearthstone, it happened to counter strike and it will happen to wow.
Why will you sit there playing wow when WOR is just the improved version in every way?lul
I’m really surprised Valorant is kind of a flop, I know it isn’t dead but it’s nowhere near as popular as it was hyped to be
It was because it was supposed to supplant CSGO in chink markets and it totally failed to do so.
Instead it ended up supplanting CSGO in NA, which is still moderately impressive but not nearly as big of a market
Riot games are without exception soulless and sterile to the point that it sucks out whatever tiny bit of potential for fun their games might have had so an MMO seems like the perfect fit for them.

Riot literally just banned people over teabagging
Yes, I would say so. But they also have the capacity to completely frick it up
Whats gonna be your starting zone?
For me, it’s Bilgewater
I would've said Noxus but apparently they're dindu nuffins now and somehow Demacians are evil. Maybe Shadow Isles.
>but apparently they're dindu nuffins now and somehow Demacians are evil
???
demacians were always hypocritical fascists
noxus is still "evil"
Bandle City Bros....
Bilge. I love pirates, I hate magic, and don't like melee.
>I love pirates
>don't like melee
You realise pirates were using swords alonside firearms and cannons, right?
Yeah. I'm not opposed to being capable if the enemy gets close. I just don't want that to be my only thing, like it would be for a dedicated swordsman or spearman. If I can throw grenades, I'm happy.
MMOs are dead
Riot never made anything remotely good and never will.
Not even remotely close to
I just want an RPG set in Runeterra
Play Ruined King
There will only be Valoran (northern continent) on launch, and you’ll like it!
I don't care. So long as there are grenades, I'll be happy.

Slow Hearthstone clone that brings nothing new to the table and fricked itself over by not being advertised.
>Valorant
Tricked people into thinking this would be the next Overwatch or League but with guns.
Turns out it's neither because it has 0 identity. Garbage.
>Wildrift
A solid mobile game which has the advantage of NOT having some of the broken characters from the OG game.
Average all things considered.
>Ruined king
You never heard of it? I'm not surprised it's a shitty old school RPG that's not offensively bad but it was completely ignored due to literally no advertising.
Also feels like darkest dungeon just without any atmoshpere.
>Arcane
Some people believe this to be good... I'll agree to disagree with your lesbian shitpost
>Tellstones
?t=26
They are charging money for this
>Project L
The supposed upcoming savior of fighting games
>Project F
The MMO that's gonna be the best of it's kind with a free to play model and only skins and cosmetics for purchase.
The next "WOW/FF14 killer"
Still holding out hope MMO fans?
