The reason why the “super product” of League of Legends MMO is missing
In 2020, Riot Games' leadership announced extremely notable information that they were developing a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). The world in which this game is built is the League of Legends universe, so many gamers have been looking forward to its release. Even with the creation of a deep world and many interesting characters, the MMO League of Legends game promises to be a true “super product”.
At the end of 2020, Riot Games leaders announced that they were developing a League of Legends MMO project.
However, it has been more than 4 years since its announcement, but this project has almost completely disappeared. This makes many gamers question the reason why this project has not been formed yet. Recently in a post on social networks, former key employee of Riot Games – Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street had notable shares about this issue.
Former leader of the League of Legends MMO project – Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street recently shared notable comments about this game.
“Riot Games was willing to release an imperfect game to receive feedback from gamers and then perfect the game. League of Legends itself and later TFT are all games developed in this direction and They were all successful. However, later they abandoned that direction and ignored the opinions of the community and Riot wanted to create a “perfect” game before releasing it because waiting for a “perfect” game, game Players will want to enjoy the game more and let the developer update it slowly” – Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street shared.
Riot possesses all the elements to create an excellent role-playing game, but their game development direction seems too “perfectionist”.
The future of the “super product” League of Legends MMO is still very unclear
In fairness, the above shares from Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street have quite reasonable points. Even in the process of developing League of Legends, the team at Riot Games has shown many times that they do not value opinions or feedback from the gaming community too much. A typical example is the statement “Our champions are not unbalanced” after a year they released a series of outstandingly strong champions such as Aphelios, Samira, Yuumi…
Riot once said that “Our champions are not unbalanced” even though they have just released a series of outstandingly strong characters.
With the MMO League of Legends project, this direction is causing the game to not be able to “take shape” even though it was announced more than 4 years ago. The last time Riot Games leaders mentioned it was a rather sad announcement when they shared that the League of Legends MMO project would be “destroyed and rebuilt” again and return to the development process. If Riot maintains its current development orientation, gamers will probably have to wait a very long time (maybe 3-4 years) to get their hands on this “super product”.
