It's a little funny that, after ten years of only making one game, they've now got three of them in the works and an anime.

Legends of Runeterra, the FPS, the fighting game and the Diablo-like. Also I'm pretty sure launching pre-reg for TFT Mobile, Wild Rift and Legends of Runeterra have turned the Riot servers into a shaking pile of ash.

s tier: project l(2.5d fighting game with solid sense of camera manipulation, clean silhouettes, and great art style) a tier: legends of runeterra(wildcard. this game might suck absolute rear end, do not quote me on this a tier. i am just being tentative here as it looks most polished.) b tier: anime(riot has been asking for this for approximately 2 centuries), lol esports manager(why did they not make this sooner) c tier: the mobile game adaptions(why would i play loving league on my phone. you absolute monsters) d tier: fps(unfinished) and adventure game(looks like a button mashing borefest)

I'm not much of a TCG guy, but this looks like a decent evolution of the Hearthstone format. I'm definitely looking forwards to Project L the most, but god knows when that poo poo'll be out.Gamerofthegame posted:i like to imagine this has been ten years of the art team tugging on tencent's sleeve going "hey, hey, hey, can we show dreamworks the gently caress up yet c'mon give us money" If League died tomorrow, they could probably go on as a pure art studio and do just fine for themselves. They genuinely have some of the best artists out there working under their banner.

Here's the full preseason changelist. The elemental rift changes look sick, and are a genuinely huge change to mid/lategame. I like the little alcoves they've added, and the bits about top/jungle changes are also good additions. Also looking forwards to the support item changes; the fact that there's now two AD item options and a free 1500g for supports to throw around opens up a lot of space for weird poo poo that wasn't there previously.

I'm very down for the idea of Herald getting to respawn before Baron if you take her quickly. RIP Shojin. Edge of Night becoming a straight up AD Banshee's Veil is solid. Very in favour of support items upgrading automatically and not having to spend money on them before I can get items.

Better start practicing tanks again. We get defensive stats on mountain dragons, no true damage on conqueror and spear of shojin is getting removed.

Action George posted:Better start practicing tanks again. We get defensive stats on mountain dragons, no true damage on conqueror and spear of shojin is getting removed. I'm hoping they're going to spend more of 2020 focusing on figuring out what to do with tanks. They've been in an unfavorable state for a while, but they also haven't exactly been welcome parts of the game when they have been in a favorable state. The tank mainstays tend to be universally reviled for turning top/mid into a snoozefest, and tend to be either unduly powerful or completely useless in the jungle. There's probably a solution to the dilemma, but it'd require more focused work than it's gotten.

Been waiting for the conq nerf for awhile true damage + 8% unmitigated lifesteal/spellvamp was dumb. Kinda hope they give grasp some loving too. The CCG looks like something between hearthstone and mtg, board animations seem pretty sharp from the stream.

That FPS looks almost identical to Paladins, which is hilarious, since Hi-Rez's Smite is basically 3rd person League.

I was thinking it looked like CS:GO with Overwatch characters, what with the prevalence of one-hit kills but also whacky abilities that do stupid poo poo The card game will probably be good and I might play it just for the novelty of a card game that doesn't have randomised boosters, aka loot boxes. The fighting game looks incredible but I don't particularly like 2.5d SF-style fighters so I'm mostly here for the animation. Speaking of which, the Overwatch-esque character animations they did for Wild Rift are very cool. The actual game is

ungulateman posted:I was thinking it looked like CS:GO with Overwatch characters, what with the prevalence of one-hit kills but also whacky abilities that do stupid poo poo Yeah, that's what they're aiming for. It's very much not an arcade shooter like Overwatch is, which is an important distinction, since it lets them both evade potential market oversaturation and potentially capture an already large market (tactical shooter players) who also happen to have a strong presence in esports. I'm definitely looking forwards to trying out the fighting game. I've tried games like Xrd before, and while I like the concept, I'm too loving old and cranky to try and learn the necessary inputs to do anything reasonable. If it's anything like Rising Thunder, it should be right up my alley. edit: Y'know, I'm enough of a dumbass that I didn't even notice that the League anime is a Vi/Jinx/Warwick origin story. Now I really wanna watch it. Vermain fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Oct 16, 2019 |

Why is the fps not using league characters? Weirdly I'm most looking forward to the fighting game even though I've never really liked them in the past. The card game looks fun as well though, especially with Arena making GBS threads the bed constantly

It's meant to be a more tactical, CS:GO-style shooter, something that only a very small number of current League champs would even vaguely fit in. Probably best not to tie your cart to a single horse in the long run, too.  Senna's splash art. I'm hella hype to give her a spin after watching the animated trailer. She's looking like what I've wanted out of supports for a long time: an active, high skill cap champ.

This was an insanely dope motherfucking stream. I don't even know or care about half of the stuff but holy crap they're expanding and it's good to see. I don't know anything about mobile or shooter or card game but everything 5v5 was great, Senna looks cool, elemental rift poo poo looks awesome, the free poo poo for logging in is nice, all in all very well done Choice moment: Twitch chat spamming "BLACKED TriHard" when Lucian hugged Senna but I mean what else can you expect I expect tencent's stock price to pop off tomorrow

Spent some time playing Legends of Runeterra and it appears to have the solid foundation of MtG/Eternal/TESL but with everything turned up to 11 and seemingly way overpowered and wacky. Attack on the opponent's turn? Sure. A 9/4 hero who dies and instantly becomes 9/9 with additional abilities? Why not! Ball lightning that is resummoned every time an allied unit attacks? Why the gently caress not? The games are short and generally pretty crazy and everything feels like it belongs in a combo deck. Looking forward to playing a lot more of this.

part of the problem is that when the assassin who shouldn't quite one-shot you does one-shot you because their team has two infernal drakes you can point to that very directly, while the team with two cloud drakes being able to rotate their leona bot faster than your nautilus and pick you off is reliant on a much fuzzier combination of factors to demonstrate the power of the cloud drake. remember how treant protector was the best character in non-pro dota and it wasn't close, because he had a global aura that gave your whole team 4 dota-armor (about 30 league armor) and 4 hp regen per second? that's cloud drake. e: On an unrelated note, I thought dropping the ~sick burn~ of "it turns out you guys actually do have phones" is needlessly disrespectful of that poor blizzard employee who got thrown to the wolves by his own company's terrible decision making ungulateman fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Oct 16, 2019 |

Legends of Runeterra has a lot of great animations... so they either have a toggle to disable them or you are constantly clicking to skip ahead. So much resources wasted on art that will hardly be appreciated.

ADC supp sounds heaps cool. When pyke was released I thought it was a big step in the right direction of making supports have a bit more agency. Then they released yuumi, the 7th inventory slot. So hopefully this one turns out alright
