I absolutely hate League of Legends but I really like the lore and love Legends of Runterra. Coming from a former Heartstone player, LoR is great and has one of the fairest monetization models I have ever seen.

I think Riot owes a lot to Necrit & TB Skyen in terms of showing people how amazing the lore is. Tons of people had preconceived notions about the LOL lore and those two have really done a lot in turning that around.

They have enough cash flow to make it good... That and they have lore Lets just hope it's not a cookie cutter mmo and focuses on low-mid end requirements.

@@MonSteh Amazon Game Studios also had enough cash flow to "make it good" and they delivered a super average MMO overall. Riot has more lore going for it but there's still a ton of potential to screw it up.

yeeeeeeeeeeeah and look what blizzard turned into.....they ruined league over the years and turned it more into a gambling simulator to generate money then a competitive game and valorant isnt close to what they said they wanted to do with it initially in terms of how realistic and accurate the gunplay and abilities are. Lets be real. They will copy WoW format but do it better because its 20 years later but thats relative when its 20 years later and your a billion dollar bussiness. Itll be great for a few years then they wiill give in and turn to making money over quality and we will all be on to the next thing rinse dopamine receptors and wallets and repeat

Now I fear Riot will become what Blizzard is now...

@@fishbones3650 this is the eventuality for all companies. On the bright side they’ve already had sexual allegation issues.

Hell no mann, Ol' Blizzard was something else. We had Blizzard GMs everywhere f*cking with us having fun with us just pretty much enjoying it all and Blizzard was just making game for making game, anyone could get offended by sexual jokes, no one gave a fuck. Hell, Illidan had a HAREM, still no one gave a fuck, now, we can't even /spit on someone or /pathetic someone. Because trans or gay or women or child get offended.

Making new games that happen to be successful =/= the old Blizzard. Blizzard pioneered and successfully topped several genres. Riot made a few successful games and some above average ones.

League has alternate universes from the skinlines A lot of skinlines could provide enough material for a game and IT WILL SELL

@@beo3828 they are just different versions of the same champion on a time line, not a evolution but just different

@@beo3828 Spirit Blossom skins are also canon. It's just that they represent totally different characters than the Champions they're for. As an example, Spirit Blossom Thresh is a different character and has a different name in-lore, but he still exists.

imagine they just make a dimensional portal event and take you to the star guardian universe or dark star universe where you could complete some event stories and get some cool armor and items you wouldn't be able to get otherwise because it wouldn't fit the main world of Runeterra. Not to mention the Celestials and Targon Prime which are interstellar and connected to multiple planets, it's literally infinite potential (as Syndra would say xd)

@@beo3828 Actually no. Spirit Blosson Yasuo and Yone have a very similar backstory to the originals, but they actually are different two brothers who are, as you said, dead and exist as spirits in Ionia. Though I lied a bit when I said that all Spirit Blossom skins represent different characters. Spirit Blossom Kindred is actually the exact same being as the original, it's just they take different forms in different regions based on people's beliefs, and that's how Ionians see them.

Or the baron pit for 1v1s. Or the 2v2 or 3v3 map.

@@Tensooni good idea as well 😆

There's some really cool unreal engine versions of summoners rift

Summoners Rift is not canon so I really doubt it

Riot games is known to excel at what they do lately. Having only 1 region on release will be more than terrible. Why would I play Noxian if I gotta do quests in demacia and vice-versa? Instead of focusing on a small map with quality just take the time to make a huge map with the same quality, which is what they're doing

@@hM-gx3hq when i meant ''smaller'' i meant the entire region from a ''faction/country''. All i am saying is not to try to release the entire or almost the entire map at once or in a short period of time. Also, riot games is known for many things, none of them is for making quality games...

@@aldrich2825 Wdym not quality games, League? Huge success. TFT? Don't see any other autobattlers rivaling that one. Valorant? Huge competition to CS. Even Runeterra is good but not wildly successful even tho it def is a good game. So i have no clue how u come to that blatantly wrong conclusion mate

@@MegaPopelboy Legue is really popular....that does not mean its a quality game. Huge success, completely agreed with you.

So... Genshin Impact?

Never played LoL and not a fan of it, but god damn happened to watch Arcane on Netflix few months ago and I can imagine the world/lore Riot can build just from that show. I am super stoked for this MMO.

when i used to play LoL they just released champs like every 2 weeks, so no. back then they did not had any lore at all.

to be honest they only really started to put it together like during season 7 or 8. because the lore before it was just weak. Just random people summoned to fight on the rift for countries to take land.

@@dango2917 yeah pretty much, at first it was just this champ is from this region, and a bit of lore on how they got their powers or something. Which also makes sense since back then Riot was focused on building a good game and a successful E-Sports scene, when they cemented themselves as the giants they are they were able to focus more on this aspects that dont directly impact the game or the esports scene. What i have to commend Riot for is that they have expanded the lore of those old champions (or at least most of them), which many devs would probably ignore and just do expanded lore for newly released characters.

@@dango2917 Wouldn't be surprised if in s7-s8 the idea and a rough plan for Riot MMO was being laid out. The amount of time it takes for the idea of a new game to reach actual development could be years.

@@itzikashemtov6045 yeah, I started to watch him after Depp/Heard trial and Elden Ring : D

@@itzikashemtov6045 I'm in the same camp xD

Kinda in the same camp. I don't play too many mmo's. But after watching arcane, I binged on League lore, and it's actually quite expansive and compelling. And I'm actually looking forward to this mmo

Same, I despised MMOs for how much time they take to really play. Now I really want to try one out, but I'll wait for the Riot one

Yeah, the "league" was retconned out of the universe a long time ago. Good thing too, it sucked.

@@LunaticThinker It was definitely a bad lore piece that held their story lore back. DOTA failed to shutter it's game-focused lore roots and now we have no true canon lore because everything is canon in a massive multiverse, because the Ancients restart time whenever they are on the brink of destruction.

The funniest thing is people were actually annoyed and hated that they retconned the original story.

too bad they dont make any fun games

@@idklol4197 All of their games are doing well against their competitors. Your opinion means nothing

i feel exactly the same, it's always nice to see more people getting familiar with the lore. It's so underappreciated!

BatChest

smae here bro

Same. I stopped playing LoL some time ago, but I enjoy the lore and eSports a lot and I play LoR and TFT. Love the setting and love the characters.

To be honest, I didn’t even know there was lore in LoL

yes he should

Arcane is an artistic masterpiece, no question.

@@Nightstalker314 i believe, they did said that they will not be focus around the champions in league because of that same thing (? They will be here and there but will likely not have the great impact that you would expect (no all of them, but with plenty) like, in Ionia they could mention Shen or Zed, but what they do wouldn't be the focus, but rather the thing that caused them to do it? Idk if I explained right

But basically, they expect to make canon characters that are not champions to move the MMO(? Alongside the champions themselves

@@gg_ingy imagine dragons is more canon than shaco is

@@Shiftry87 Another problem with using LoL Champions as characters in MMO is that Riot will be very limited in what they can do with them. It's the same problem that prevents them from properly developing lore storylines. Champions are built around a particular status quo and changing it in any significant amount will also require changes in LoL. Killing one is outright impossible. For now at least. We've seen devs being at least somewhat willing to go that way with Viego, but still, there are limits.

​@@antongrigoryev6381 imo, you can actually kill them, some champions is already dead in lore, or changed, compared to in-game, some are from difference age/era/time, so you can think as summoner's rift can summons champions from the past to present, etc. so even if a champion die or changed, it still won't affact the summoner's rift much. EDIT: and they can also just update some voice lines into the game like Jinx/Vi or update the whole thing like Gangplank, etc.

MMO games contain Clans or Guild and alliance system which is lead to a war between them , am excited to play lol's MMO game

You dont need competition, you need originality

@@royalecrafts6252 short of implementing VR into MMOs, which will not happen in the next 5 to 10 years because of the cost barrier to fill the servers (not to mention how hard it would be to code entire worlds like that without instancing areas quite heavily), there really isn't much that hasn't been tried, and if a gameplay concept doesn't do phenomanly well it's viewed as a lost cause by publishing companies. Sadly, while I enjoy the lore of league a lot, if ten cent is involved in the decision making for riot's mmo I think "gameplay is king" will boil down to anything that keeps the player grinding away while selling overpriced skins or accessories. At least in terms of league of legends they stopped innovating years ago and are just riding the cash cow. I'd be very surprised to see them attempt true originality in the MMO, especially given how established the genre is. The only hope I have is that they ironically make a monthly-sub based game like WoW and actually focus on gameplay development and PvP events that will engage people to form good communities, but again there's no guarantee they would allocate revenue to their development teams to push risky and original ideas, and in terms of community league is extremely toxic and I have no faith that won't bleed over into the MMO and make large-scale events miserable.

@@BB-zq6hy on point, it will be just a generic mmo again, even ashes of creation will be generic again, you see the combat? Is just spam left click all fetched

This is the correct hope. Darkin race? I must become Aatrox protégé

Id love if you could actually side with different factions you know? Like being part of the mage seekers in demacia or be part of the rebellion. Same goes for Piltover and Zaun.

One thing about riot world building is that they have retconned and rewritten everything so many times that it finally works. Noxus and black lotus has been changed over 5 times, demacia has been changed a lot, with each champion coming out the previous ones get updated. Thats how we get this massive world.

@@mohammadnaghizade3544 Exactly! That's how you do Worldbuilding, taking pieces, rewritting, and connecting, if it doesnt work, try again, until it does! They truly did an outstanding job tho, considering how vast and diverses the "pieces" were at the beggining. The fact that almost* everything is connected by this point it's outstanding and you can clearly tell that it's a work of years and years.

Minus the whole weird mic situation (sorry I am petty).

@@ericmaier9169 Him holding the mic vs having it attached to his shirt? I remember Necrit addressing that at one point but I forgot his reasoning.

Read marvel & Riot's comic about the story of Frelijord and you will see that Riot has everything to make a MMO

no one knows how deep the Runeterra lore is because the games themselves (except for The Ruined King game) do not explain the lore at any point, Riot didn't start as an RPG Devteam, so those who know the Lore from playing League, know it because they went and read it on their own, but as someone that has played League since 2014, i can tell you, the Lore has no impact in LoL, or Legends of Runeterra, or TFT, or Valorant. Given that MMORPGs take 6+ years to develop, Riot probably knew they wanted to make an MMORPG before they were even close to starting the development of the MMO, which is why they did make the effort of creating an interesting world and put so much effort in the worldbuilding aspects of Runeterra.

Its not the lore is shit. Any lore enthusiast will tell you that LoLs lore is FULL of pointless retcons every 1-3 years and marketing affecting lore 2nd hand multiple times especially recently. People who praise the lore either dont care about this or are ignorant to these issues.

This is all very surface level, if you read the stories they write in the universe, you see how much quality is in there

100% agreed, I couldnt have said it better myself.

@@i.amsway7878 nah bro, the way Riot dealt with LoL lore was really bad until recently, they removed the diary inside the launcher, they stopped doing the champions judgments which were great to know more about each character backgroud, they retconned dozens of champions backgrounds because they had no idea what to do with the lore and how to connect everything. I can't tell exactly when they started to actually work on their worldbuilding but it's not more than 5 years. But to be fair, once they knew which direction they wanted to go they started doing a good job at it most of the time

@@ramontavaresdacruz2256 Bro the journal was deleted like 8 years ago. They've been retconning and reworking the story to suit the new world since

But the man has been following League's lore longer than a large majority of everyone else so of course whatever he says has credibility to it.

If you have played league you know that riots strong suite is the gameplay. League is a trash game, but the gameplay is great, its so smooth and clean and it feels great to play any of the champions, that said, at least the combat and movement will be top notch.

It's not dead..? They "reset" development, they are still working on it dude

@@MrErikAvA May as well be dead, it will probably be a year when we hear in whispers that the game was axed.

The lore Riot has created is very intriguing, but so far it's largely been a bunch of storylines that are cool ideas more than anything else. They can tell individual stories with it, but what I'm really interested in seeing is if they can take their eclectic lore and bring it all together in an MMO. They definitely have a leg up with so many people who already have some knowledge of it and are anxious to explore the world further, so hopefully they can pull it off, but I think too many people are assuming that their starting point is simply going to work because it sounds interesting. Even if they don't do it well it may work for some time, but if it's not cohesive then it will start to show cracks over time. But above all else, the fact that LoL has forced them to create such a diversity of storylines could be a great strength for them. They're basically obligated to take the risks to create a very unique world rather than trying to find ways for it to conform into something simpler.

Im thinking riot is going down. Cause i think they keep focusin on the likes of eboys and egirls...

@@Impervious11 I think they will focus on their huge storyline character and ignore the minimize ones like Asol is so improtant for lore but Jhin is not that important and they will create mostly dungeons and raids on these characters and video creater already explained every region has own main stroyline and connected storyline and these are make me so excited cause I beleive this game will be huge and so feed up about content and Riot Games always makes their game f2p and wittout p2w I hope it'll come fast.

This game will be dope, I'm sure of it

@@Impervious11 They'll probably do what they did with Arcane and use the lore as a base and tweak it slightly to tell a more coherent story.

And don't forget the best part of RIOT games... their MUSIC is Grammy worthy!

PLUS they aren't afraid of creating important characters that aren't in the game. E.g. Silco from Arcane was crucial in Arcane, but only made it to TFT and is never coming to League. There are so many super strong characters and beings in the world that haven't been touched on in the game, which is honestly super cool.

I'm worried that they will have so many characters, a lot of them won't gain enough attention.

A French animation studio made Arcane, not their in-house team. Not to take anything from their in house team.

@@robertcharrasse4002 Brother, Fortiche was made of 5 people. Riot themselves hired 300 people for Fortiche to do the arcane series. Fortiche is literally Riot Games. They even bought Like majority of stakes in the company now.

That's why, as much as people shit on them for Genshin, I love Hoyoverse's Honkai Impact. The "good guys" basically give children super cancer and guarantee an early death to fight against an un-knowable, seemingly unstoppable foe. Moral grey shit rocks

They got some nice ones. First, go watch arcane, they made sure to make most of the characters sympathetic and wrong so nothing is black and white(almost). Secondly, there are many more. Torturirous demons, family killing kids, child labor, a distructibe mummy child that only want a friend. Some of the stories make you not know what is the right in that situation and think some unreasonable things might be acceptable.

@@Bilbobaggins82242 90 percent of the playerbase dosent know about to lore

@@Bilbobaggins82242 i personally wouldnt go as far as saying it has THE richest lore but it is definetly up there. What you are saying is just flat out proveably incorrect. Even if you dont like the lore wich you obviously are entiteled to, there is SO MUCH of it and it is all done with a very high level of care and effort. Over 160 playable champions with almost all of them having a pretty hefty and interesting character backstory, their own character theme song and usually 2-3 short storys to their name, hundreds more of already pretty well developed and cool side characters from LoR and the supplemental material. There is i think 5 short comic series and dozens of longer novellas, there is a lore/worldbuilding book, over 100 very high quality cinematics and promo vids of wich about 40% are actually canon lore material. The thousands of ingame Champion interactions and voicelines that give more details about relationships and history. About 15 distinct regions/nations all with very complex and diverse cultures, historys, visual styles and inhabitants and also a long and interesting storyline in concurrent canon. Fucking ARCANE! An entire Soundtrack of something like 200 ambient tracks that have accumulated over the years and exist for no other reason as to give vibes to the regions or some more to some characters. Hundreds of beautifull pictures and pieces of Artwork depicting the landscapes, creatures, peoples and history of the world ranging from concept art to full renderings. The list goes on and on. Tl;Dr: as i said above, just because you dont like it, the objective ammount of care, effort and passion that has been put into this over the last decade by the artists and writers can not be denied on any logical or reasonable basis.

who cares about the lore when people just want to play the game to get kills and rank

It's the leadership in my opinion. Riot has a f***ing superbrain ontop of it that has been proven time and time again. Blizzard went foul when Activision came in. They managed to make everyone with passion leave. Nowadays there are at most 5 people of original Blizzard left in the whole company. I have seen a Video about that. Let's hope that Riot's superbrain will keep leading the Company for a long time to come. It might only need for one right person to fall out for it all to crumble.

While I would agree a couple of years ago current Riot feels very fabricated when the people behind stuff talk. They've started to show the cracks that could lead to them becoming just like Blizzard or any other money hungry company that deems themselves better than their playerbase. There is enough lore to make something really interesting, but Riot is capable of ruining it.

I hope not. WOW showed us how bad it is to have zones to level in and one endgame zone. Riot needs to have everything tie into the end game. I don't want any of the zones to become obsolete and barren because their endzone is somewhere else. Have us travel to Noxus to buy certain metals to forge with the wood from Demacia to make a weapon. Some people might find it tedious but Riot's big advantage is how fleshed out their world is and the atmosphere it provides. If they make keeping it their top priority the game will do great

This is not "the WoW killer". That title is useless because WoW has fallen so far and already been dethroned. Yeah its still going okay but the 70 yr old man that walks the park every day is doing okay also, yet he is still so far pasted his prime any younger person could take him out. Taking out an old man means nothing, old age won the fight for you. WoW has "killed" itself.

The true WoW killer....is WoW itself

Don't worry, it gets better even.

@Hiddel Subbeldees gatekeeping lovecraft? Really? Man

i've read a couple of his books yes. No need to get salty about it though, it's clear the LoL lore is not as 'lazy' as you make it seem and i think it's great that the lovecraftian vibes are in there somewhere.

@Hiddel Subbeldees moreover, sure we have Lovecraft with his books. Yes there are some great stories in there, but of it is scribble, dense and hard to read. Yes I have a few collection books from him. But you know what Lovecraft is a synonym to, or even literally the same thing? A genre. It's a genre. Do you get where I'm getting at?

The story "silenced of the damned" is the story where that type of horror shines through. It's also the only one with that type of stuff though

I'm writing a progression fantasy In one of the dungeons the main group encounters, they have to kill a boss that is comprised of lightning with giant iron rods, grounding it and effectively nullifying it's existence No damage done to the thing by the characters There are jump puzzles and obstacles between the ballistias set up to shoot the rods Wish there was more of that "The Midnight Wars" Coming whenever I finish it

nah fuck jumping puzzles go play a roblox obstacle course

i'd like to climb mount targon as an awakening quest of some sort

Any game that involves a big enemy that you can't damage with ur weapons.

Targon could make a great endless roguelite dungeon with platform-like sections. Lore-wise it's probably for the best, we wouldn't want the possibility of players becoming Aspects

Because Riot has the balls to do dark dark stuff like arcane , and doesnt interfere too much in people's work except in LoL skin making

I'd say visuals and dev communication. League devs frequently answer stuff on reddit and twitter and ghostcrawler is also doing it almost daily. Their cinamtics in the past few years were also sooo good visually.
