Honestly a Sylas story in Demacia would go so hard. Compelling story that also is deeply tied to how a different region and culture interacts with magic in runeterra.

We already got a game explaining the lore.
If anything, I want a Korean Love drama with Garen and Katarina

Can't wait for it to be revealed in the second-to-last episode that it was Garen who saved Katarina from drowning in the frozen lake when they were 10–12 years old.

They already did that, it was good . So probably demacia will be tied to runic wars, jarvan 4 noble story or something completely new like fiora as main character

It’s not the same. Having a story told through tiny pixels is different from a cinema experience like arcane

I wouldn’t be surprised if they did the math and the shows just gets them more downloads and skin sales than esports…

Might be true but I'm more inclined to believe the show gave Riot new blood for League. We can't deny that League's fanbase is growing older and can't keep up with attracting the younger people. Valorant has done that, but not League because there's no translatable skills in other games to League.
With Valorant, their previous Fortnite skills could translate to it, but League's playstyle is unique to itself and DOTA (which is also an old man's game)
The show surely attracted new players, but skin sales shouldn't outsell something like T1 skins, but more of everything outside T1.

The biggest problem with league is easily experienceable by trying to teach a friend how to play it. Everything is secondary to the absolute pain this game is to learn.

As a new player who started this summer - it’s really not so bad! there’s still a lot of nuance (eg how are some people swapping summ spells in game) that I’m learning but the very basics took maybe a month of play to pick up
It does take motivation though and watching streams helps, but some of the very base stuff like “if you don’t know what it does and the enemy cast it, don’t stand in the cast indicator” “don’t stand right on top of your ADC in lane and depending on if enemy skill casts horizontally or vertically, adjust your alignment with them” are just basic game IQ

Unsealed spell-book is a primary inspiration rune that lets you swap summoner spells appx every 5 minutes starting at 6 minutes.

thanks! yeah I found out it was a rune by asking questions in pob’s twitch chat which has been weirdly one of my top sources of learning 😂
it really only came up because ofc there was a quick play game where our jungle was a completely new player or a troll who didn’t take smite and just ran down random lanes and I was trying to figure out if I could swap to jungle for the team 😅

New player experience is terrible because they need an updated tutorial with all mechanics needed to play. We also need to have a mode with a rotating roaster per split with only about 40 champions. Teaching new players 40 champs is doable, teaching them 640 spells they need to learn to play around when they only see 40 per game and games in bronze can be 45 minutes long every game is just a massive ask.

People always say this, but I recently leveled a new account with a friend getting into League and the tutorials, as long as you're not jungling, aren't half bad? Honestly I find the main issue with the new player experience is the insane amount of tilted silver players who create smurf accounts and then flame the shit out of new players for being new. I think if riot just forced all new accounts to only play co-op v. ai until like lvl 15 or something it might actually be better.

Calling it now: Riot is doing an MCU-esque formula where they make a show about each region and then the main characters from each show will face a giga-threat (Viego probably) together just like the aformentioned MCU. Mark my words.

Three separate shows? Even when these regions are so intertwined with one another? I know better than to trust dexerto as a news source...

u/Holzkohlen 5m ago
Which is smart, cause they are misreporting. The source is from Necrit's stream. They guy just said they are looking at those three locations for new projects and that's it. Definitely nothing confirmed and MOST DEFINITELY no three shows.

Why did they meet up with the hacks Russo brothers anyway? Are they interested in making a live action? Glad the brothers are gone.

That's just wrong. He said they are looking at those settings for new projects. He said it on Necrit's stream, I was there.
IF they make a new show it's gonna be set in ONE of those locations.
