Will the 'League of Legends' MMO succeed?

#####

Mid, Jungle, lanes, jinx, weapon, upgrade? tower? I don't know the lingo.

I don't know league of Legends, but I do know MMO's, and this, this could be a big one.

Riot Games have officially announced they're making an MMO set in the Runeterra universe, they're hiring people for it and potentially getting ready to throw a lot of money at it.

So will an League of Legends MMO work?

answer, probably.

Thanks again to the supporters on Patreon and Twitch who keep the channel going.

I can not wait for finally being able to play league of legends without having to play league of legends <3

Seeing the massive success of Arcane, im pretty sure League MMO has that "Brand Recognition" already settled.

"I am making an MMO by myself."
Right up there with "I am building a nuclear submarine, by myself."

Five months later, and Arcane has been released - and been an incredible hit. Even people who know nothing about LoL love it. The potential player base has grown immensely.

I have a love hate relationship with League. I love the lore behind it, the characters, the world etc.

But man I get so much hate for Playing AP Kai'sa mid. Now I can play her in an MMO.

After watching Arcane I know that the MMO will at least have an incredible artstyle and lore surrounding it. But the fact that they were able to make such a masterpiece and breakthrough with Arcane is likely what will make me care about Runeterra now.

If it weren’t for Arcane, I could see myself having more difficulty liking a Riot MMO, but now I’m somewhat excited to see what they do with it all.

I am a LoL player, but I do admit, I find myself loving the lore and characters more than the actual gameplay. To have an MMO where the lore and characters become much more important, we can see them interact more than just lines to each other on the Rift or in once-a-year cinematics sounds like nothing but amazing to me. I really hope its something they can pull off, and pull it off well.

Game genre : exists
Riot : so we started throwing money

[Konpekikaminari]

If Arcane proved anything- it's that LoL has amazing lore to work with and that Riot employs great writers

So an MMO has alot of potential, they just need decent gameplay and to properly handle the cameos- because many people *will* expect the familiar faces
The trick would be to have them do enough so that fans won't feel like they're favourites champions were gimped for plot reasons, without stealing away the spotlight from the players

If LoL has an MMO Necrit is going to have a lot of work ahead.
