Riot Games is working on an MMO set in the Runeterra universe, this much is known. Exactly what that title will look like in the end isn't quite as well known. However, that hasn't stopped us from speculating. Here are five things we want to see in the upcoming League of Legends MMO.

    Solid monetization. This is Riot games tho. From my personal findings over many years, they are the most shady, foul and deceitful company out there. No. They aren't obvious. They're snakes in the grass. And they will find a way to fuck you hard and slow. This is the only place where they'd go extra mile to be INNOVATIVE. :D

    At least in Valorant, it is hard and in your face. No sneaking around.

    MMORPGS are about efficient grinding, speed running and competitive edge.
    That is only one aspect. People play MMORPGs for many reasons. Let's say that it will be a game with raids and rated pvp arenas. If the only players are the hyper competitive min-maxers, the game will not thrive. People will only log on to parse raids and queue arenas. It might as well not even be a virtual world and will be just like a lobby based game. Like a real life society, a virtual world needs many types of people to thrive. Those people come when a game can provide something that interests them.

    Seems to be going with action combat design going by this job listing.


    And here is a somewhat tongue in cheek comment from Ghostcrawler implying some hardcore mechanics.


    I expect tons of raids and dungeons given how much Ghostcrawler loves them.

    Top 5 things we I don't want to see in Riot Games upcoming League of Legends MMO

    -Dailies

    -Battle Pass

    -Crypoanything

    -mobile support/crossplay

    -Mouse only movement

    I wouldn't be surprised if we'll see everything mentioned above but I still hope they make it right because Arcane showed me how interesting LoLs world can be.

    I don't think this is going to be it, but I personally want a successor for Darkfall Online/Unholy Wars. Please, give me this, thanks!

    Just once, I would love to see an MMORPG that leverages the one thing they can do that no other genre can: take advantage of the concurrent masses and do the main game-play loop catering to that.

    I'm not talking about instanced groups of 4-24 by appointment only with ultra defined roles and annoying dweebs telling everyone how to play.

    I'm talking about games like Rift and to a lesser extent GW2 that had that casual group event thing as part of the game, except I want to see someone take that to the next level and make it the main game play loop.

    No "you are the hero!" stories needed. It's an online game with massive quantities of other players. Use that and use it well.

    >>>Respect for Time Investment

    Watch out, because what you wish may come true and the game may become a over-casualized dumbed-down mess like ESO after the 2016 Tamriel Unlimited update where you can breeze through leveling and not even once feel challenged or in danger of dying. Vanilla WoW's leveling is still my golden standard of what I believe is a perfectly well balanced leveling experience, it's only after you complete it where the end game content becomes a chore rather than enjoyment. Leveling is the most pivotal aspect of any MMORPG and it can determine what impression players may get overall for the game and if it's too dumbed-down and shallow, many players will just up and leave before long, as for the end game, that is the part that needs to be more respecting of time investment, not the leveling.



    >>>Solid Monetization Practices

    Don't really care about that, as long as it's B2P or F2P, I'm fine with it. P2W isn't as bad as a lot of MMORPG babies make it out to be. People who have been playing Asian F2P MMORPGs since around 2005-2006 are used to P2W and know that it can be overcome with enough dedication, provided the game is good and fun enough to motivate them to dedicate themselves to it.




    >>>Connected Universe

    They will most likely put LoL references all over the place, although a too connected game can prove to be limited in what the developers can do with it, so I'm not very excited about this particular "thing".



    >>>Innovative Gameplay

    Seeing as how "innovative" Valorant was in comparison to other FPS games in the genre, I highly doubt this game will be innovative in any way. My guess is they will use something widely popular like WoW or ESO as a template and put their own spin to it, after playing WoW and then moving to ESO, I did not see any innovation in it, it was just more of the same, just presented in a bit of a different way, so much so that you can call ESO "the love child of Skyrim and WoW".

    The only way I can see any sort of innovation is to do away with classes and employ as skill-based system and horizontal progression, in a way with how RuneScape and Project Gorgon are going - you don't have a level, but the level of your skills determine how strong you are and you level them up by simply practicing them and finally - allow all skills to be learned, but I doubt they will do something so bold - instead they will opt for the Healer, Tank, DPS trinity and use simplistic class archetypes, as limited as they are in a game like WoW.




    >>>A Bond With The Community

    That would be very nice to have - to employ CMs that interact with the community and also have a requirement to be playing the game and interact with players in-game, mostly by playing with them and to allow users to voice their suggestions, concerns or whatever in a way that it would make it feel like their voices matter. I really like Old School RuneScape's method of publishing community polls and having players vote on upcoming changes to the game.






    Overall, I'm both cautiously optimistic about the game that it will be something enjoyable to play and skeptic that the game will be a copy of a copy of a copy and it will be overhyped like Valorant and turn out to be a mild disappointment that people have to learn to live with.

    I think this game will likely have a massive cash shop reliance for revenue... so I assume this will be of top priority (bots compete with the cash shop - big no no).

    Lost Ark is coming down hard on RMT farmers and purchasers currently,  because that's the bread and butter.

    Well I just Googled LoL Cartoon, and after sifting through some.. questionable porn.. I have come to conclude that if this game has boob and ass physics, and no butt capes, it will sell like bathwater to thirsty boyz.

    All that I want is an interesting, fun game to play that isn't a knock-off of something else that I've already played.  Which is, of course, the same thing that I want from most other games.

    :D

    Do you think whales and other cash shop addicts are women?  Maybe on Candy Crush mobile, not mmorpgs.

    Google LoL Arcane (netflix)... that is the animated series.  I'm worried about the henetai corners of the web you might of accidentally found :o

    I legit think that women will send a lot of money for their toons to look sexy AF.

    In fact, it's always a game to see which female toons are females, and which one are GIRL's.

    Because, regardless of some objections, women like their avatars to be sexy, they want their avatars to look smoking hot, just like guys want their avatars to look totally badass.

    as for what I found, my fault for not having safe search on, I normally keep that on, because last time I turned it off, and looked up how to fix a van, I got some image of a naked dude holding a flag, to this day, I have no idea how they relate, and I don't care to find out.

    Yeah, women definitely spend money in the costume shops of games.  Many women I've played with are more chill and don't want to spend the big $ rushing/pushing through progression (which I agree with).

    If they make a variety of costumes from conservative attire to super sexy... let the individual player decide.  More people happy.

    Not sure if this article really reflects the League MMO or is a plug for Lost ark, which I may add has pretty ability animations but is the same stale top down generic rpg. Linear maps , same basic classes as every other medieval fantasy game, and way over hyped by all the new world players. That’s why it did good , not because it’s some “ breakthrough game “ it’s not. Why not do something truly unique? Not to mention the ethics side of things with players buying a $40 game to feed wealthy Amazon executives with cash bonuses. Riot will make a great mmo, but Lost Ark isn’t, oh and don’t get started on the bot problem that imo has ruined any chance of that game being viable in the future

    Hope it will be something playable. Maybe they can send there same people who worked on Arcane:) this probably could revive my interest in LOL. Spent there too much time and now I'm a little tired of the game itself. There are tools to make it easier, but still, it takes some time and consideration. Good when you have an external script that will help you achieve more.  It takes time to develop an account, and I'm not sure if I want to waste it. However, the new game looks promising.
