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?

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.
