Why does Riot give up on pretty much all the projects they start despite having fuckloads of money and a reliable IP?

Incompetence.

>>713474628 (OP)
they are a shit company and lucked out with league

>>713474628 (OP)
I was kind of bummed they cancelled the MMO. I wanted to hang out in Piltover

>>713474628 (OP)
Change in leadership I imagine.

>>713474628 (OP)
Incompetent devs mostly

Imagine you have a money printer (cosmetics) and someone asks you to work instead.

>>713474628 (OP)
because they are skin company not video game company

>>713475571
Demacia would be comfier. All that pretty alabaster and chrome armor and seething racism. Paradise.

>>713474628 (OP)
Because they got lucky with league being a ripoff of a warcraft mod.

the curse of having 1 really big success and trying to branch out, is the new games either splintering the success , or hurting it in some other way.

>>713476438
>a ripoff
A *successful ripoff. My b.

Their card game was good, no idea why it didnt take off

>>713476665
Isn't Valorant relatively big?

>steal an idea
>add anime tits to it
Riot just struck gold, they aren't talented what so ever.

>>713476904
To be fair, most of their league girls are still really fucking hot, which is a rarity these days.

>>713474628 (OP)
Because Riot became so big its unmanageable. I am not even remotely surprised Hytale got cancelled, the MMO has been cancelled years ago despite what copium sniffers will tell you and i wouldnt be surprised 2XKO gets cancelled too even at this stage.

>>713478046
2xk0 ain't getting cancelled but it will be EoL'd within a year of launch.

>>713474628 (OP)
Not going to drop too much information since I'm technically under an NDA, but I did a focus group with Riot the other week, and they want to do an action-adventure game that features Vi.

It's still in the planning phase, but they want it to play like nu-God of War and Souls-likes, but will probably play closer to Arkham City, with an emphasis on 'city.'

>>713478495
Way to jump on the Arcane hype money. Striking while the iron is frozen, eh Rito?
Ill play it because Vi is my favorite character in league and I loved her Arcane version even more.

>>713474628 (OP)
Isn't this just athens vs sparta with funny names?

>>713478936
It was almost laughable because they started with...
>"We're doing a completely new IP!"
>"That continues off of Season 2 of Arkane..."
>"Which is based off of a video game..."

They name dropped...
Vi, Caitlyn, Ekko, Blitzcrank, Camille, Singed, and Darius(?)

>>713478495
Was it a focus group just to see if people liked the idea? Did they show any concept art?

>>713475571
I'd hang out in Noxus if this came out a decade ago, but by now they lost the "might makes right" edgelord theme and Riot has been trying to make them good (or at least not-evil) so I lost interest
>>713478495
>nuGoW
>souls
>Bamham
Those are three completely different games what the fuck

>>713478495
>God of War / Arkham city
This is what Riot Forge should’ve been about, instead of all that indie slop. People love Runeterra but plenty of people have moved on from LoL or don’t play it at all. There should be multiple avenues towards Runeterra besides League.

>>713479661
I never watched Arkane, and ironically, most of the room hadn't either, so I'm not sure what they showed was from the show or not. I'm guessing they at least did the intro cinematic, but again, expect an Arkham City-esque game with an undercity

>>713479746
>Those are three completely different games
You're telling me--given the questions they initially screened with, I un-ironically thought this was a marketing focus group for Duskbloods. I mentioned Bloodborne was my favorite Souls-borne game, and they fucking jumped on that.

Reposting since I didn't want to mention anything identifying (NDA reminder).

>>713479998
>People love Runeterra
The card game? Most people don't even know the universe is called Runeterra and those who do read enough LoL lore to know it's all barely connected garbage that gets retconned at a whim. At best people like aesthetics of some regions

>>713480260
Retarded fucking larper

>>713478495
>I'm technically under an NDA
How are you "technically" under NDA? Did you sign a contract or was it a verbal "if you squeal you're out"

There should be a Pantheon GoW game
There should be a Lux Disney Princess movie
There should be a Viktor Arkham game

>>713474628 (OP)
It’s the new financebro CEO. It’s why Arcane was cancelled and LoL doubled down on the gacha stuff and added a battle pass.

>>713478495
>d they want to do an action-adventure game
Fucking rad
>that features Vi.
Meh. But at least she is hot and big fucking gauntlet fists are real cool.
>but they want it to play like nu-God of War

>and Souls-likes
Ok it might be cool anyway.
>but will probably play closer to Arkham City, with an emphasis on 'city.'
You mean like the entire game world would be different corners and layers of the city? That could be cool.


A shame that you're likely bullshitting though. And that it probably wouldn't become a real product even if you were telling the truth.
But if it becomes real that'd be real rad.

>>713481098
I didn't recognize the name of the City (it certainly wasn't Piltover), but I can't imagine it existing anywhere else.

Just watch Arkane if you want more info on the lore.

>>713481331
Just kidding--apparently 'Zaun' is the literal undercity of Piltover.

Expect empty streets because of a supposed plague.
