It's like those black friday sales, gotta change the number before you change it again and then brag about the second change as if the first didn't happen!
The company that is being struck because it tried to sneak around the union contracts by making a shell company to do casting calls below the contact rates? That Riot Games? I'm not shocked.
Shouldn't have banned all those Linux players.
I guess they really want deadlock to succeed
So hire more artists to churn out cosmetics, mtx content while milking existing code that will change less?
To say I could care less about league of legends is an understatement but I am anxious about legends of runeterra's future, it demolishes hearthstone or magic the gathering in its core gameplay mechanics and is genuinely free to play friendly.
Ugggh
I could care less about league of legends is an understatement
Couldn't. Couldn't care less about league.
But the burning fires of my grammatical pet peeve aside its a damned reasonable choice to not care about it. My worry is how other esports companies will react to this. It's still such a tenuous sport even with the crazy viewer numbers the League world championships bring in, and if the biggest name in esports is about to start jettisoning actual production staff from the biggest title in the room... Idk, I can see other companies overreacting.
Is LoR still alive? I used to play it for a few years until I just got tired of CCGs in general, but the Arcane season 2 trailer made me all nostalgic again. Back then (before the Reddit exodus) it seemed like the game would be taken down anytime soon.
Yeah it is definitely still alive!
Good to hear! Is it still fun to play?
I burned out because of the constant pressure from battle passes and meta changes, so a more stable meta might not be all that bad.
I play singleplayer (I LOVE the mini roguelike mode) and co-op for the most part so I can't speak to that authoritatively but take a look at the runeterra reddit, it is active and vibrant and it isn't full of complaints about the meta or anything.
I mean, I don't know active playercount stats or anything but there is clearly a solid community around it that genuinely loves the game (for very good reasons) and that is all that matters to me!
Thanks for the insight! StarCraft 2 is in a similar state (remaining healthy and fun despite the lack of developer support), so that's a good sign :)
It's in maintenance mode with further development mostly focused on expanding the single player mode last I checked. But yeah was a great game!
Thanks! I checked the website, and apparently Ranked is still active enough that the devs are putting effort into new cards, rotations and patches: https://playruneterra.com/en-us/news/game-updates/patch-5-10-notes/
Maybe I'll try it again before November. Too bad there isn't an active LoR community on Lemmy.
Huh really? Makes me kinda want to get back into it now. Kinda Itching to give mah Demacia Elites deck another drive :>
Oh sorry, I misread the thing about new cards, but the rest holds up!
Too bad there isn't an active LoR community on Lemmy.
build it and they will come!
... tho maybe a generalist ccg/card battler lemmy would be a better place to start, I wonder if one of those exists yet.
maybe they just laid off the titchier ones so that the average size of team members did indeed increase.
