Riot is yet again proving they are completely incapable of doing anything that is not League of Legends, TFT or Valorant.
I just started playing the game after it launched on consoles because they need their bullshit anticheat for a fucking fighting game for some reason, so I can't run it on Linux, and not even a month after the official release they are already firing half the development team.
This is smelling awfully like another LOR, which didn't die because the game is "too fair" or whatever other bullshit g*mers say about the game, but rather because Riot is literally incapable of doing the bare minimum to ensure their own game's success, be it doing actual advertising, both irl and in other related games they own like the fucking League client, or doing joint events between their games, or not asking for an arm a leg for a single skin like it is right now on 2XKO.
How can this multi billion dollar company be so incompetent?
Devs talking about being fired:
Even then, LOR is still around just no one plays PVP anymore from what I saw, the only reason I don't play it anymore is because my phone is basically a glorified brick rn, cause I really like that game.
Nah, stuff there is still balling. Nidalee and Janna redesigns are actual fire for example. The actual reason is that they did jack shit for marketing and advertising, like they expect the game to just be the hugest shit imaginable just because they are Riot, barely had a competitive scene from what I remember, which is something they seem to have learned for 2XKO at least, alongside with basically no cosmetics to buy. They complained the game wasn't making much money, but it basically had nothing to buy to begin with, the game needed more sleeves, more boards, more emotes, more card skins, hell even sell custom effects and win screens, 2XKO has that, even LOL now has that too from what I have seen. They do the barely minimum and expect it to just make them rivers of money.
The only reason I even knew LOR is from people in other card games like Shadowverse complaining about how stupid expensive it is to make good decks.
Its wild how frugral Riot Games really is except for League and Valorant.
Yeah and TFT too, that is also pretty big and considered a huge success, basically the only auto chess remaining.
