At the end of last year, https://www.loltrackers.com/articles/viktor-s-glorious-evolution-arcane-cosplay-that-left-me-speechless.html Riot Games announced an effort to expand the League of Legends IP beyond its MOBA roots. Acquiring and partnering with several third-party studios, Riot Games’ new initiative for its 10th anniversary has spawned a League of Legends fighting game, a popular FPS called Valorant , a collectible card game called Legends of Runeterra , and even a business/management sim for LoL esports. The League of Legends universe will soon reach far beyond the base game into a ton of new gaming experiences, a sentiment that Respawn Entertainment recently expressed with the hit battle royale Apex Legends as w
This, of course, does change the dynamic about ganking quite a bit. Vision wards are more critical to success than ever since it’s relatively easy for a player to gank another lane before the opponent notices they’re miss

For instance, Wild Rift researcher u/ThuggInUggs clarified the team’s take on the issue in r/LeagueOfLegends. The researcher explained that some players found the revealing outfits of some Champions “didn’t make sense” for their lore and motif . In turn, they wanted to take Wild Rift’s direction to redesign Champions that feel like they’re going to wear that gear into bat
** TheGamer: ** A problem that hero shooters struggle with is balancing abilities. Often, meta and competitive play come strictly down to how practical special skills are. Upon reveal, many people thought Killjoy’s ultimate looked unfair, but the truth is all you have to do is shoot her and her bot. Do you believe that Valorant’s emphasis on skill-based gunplay ultimately frees you from the “ability balancing” problems that similar games f

Perhaps it’d be interesting to see how the Apex Legends community responds to the idea of spin-off titles, and whether it’d be a worthy venture for Respawn Entertainment and/or EA. At a glance, Apex Legends and Titanfall bring enough to the table lore-wise for this to be absolutely possible, but it’s a matter of gauging whether the interest is there. Somehow mixing the whimsical nature of Apex Legends ‘ lore with the seriousness of Titanfall could be an interesting experim
Compared to League , Wild Rift has a more liberal approach with regards to its Ranked Mode. In the PC game, players have access to League Points from Iron to Challenger, where they need 100LP before trying to move up a division or rank . However, in Wild Rift , players only have Ranked “marks” from Iron to Emerald. Interestingly, the Emerald rank is the new transition rank between Platinum and Diam
Considering Apex Legends takes place within the larger Titanfall universe , there’s already plenty of lore for expanded games to draw from. With the IMC/Milita conflict chronologically occurring decades before the events of Apex Legends , a lot has already happened. It is possible additional spin-offs could return with another Titanfall game, whether it’s a prequel or sequel, to detail further events of the Frontier War. There’s also plenty of potential in the Apex Legends storyline, outside of the battle royale’s existing lore. Character-specific stories like a stealth-oriented/ Hitman -style game for Revenant, or perhaps a single-player first-person shooter detailing Bangalore’s time with the IMC Armed Forces, these could certainly do well for Apex Legends fans in the right cont

Cypher, not so much. He’s a more cerebral, information-gathering character. Tough to use effectively. But I think there’s a reasonable observation around the fact that Sentinels tend to appeal to people that don’t feel as confident in their tactical-shooter skills. Because at the very least, they know they can set up their stuff (ice walls, traps), get a gun, and stay the
While League of Legends continues to grow outside the MOBA, it seems Apex Legends shares a similar desire to grow outside of its own battle royale genre. In an interview with Eurogamer, Apex Legends game director Chad Grenier mentioned a desire to expand and “eventually evolve into something beyond a battle royale.” At first, Grenier mentions that crossplay and the Nintendo Switch release of Apex Legends are the first steps to expanding the game. However, Grenier subsequently poses the question of how Apex Legends could move beyond just iterating on Apex Legends with additional limited-time-mo
