Discussion A tweet that has me thinking.

I don’t know if Riot can copy what valve has created with Deadlock. The atmosphere and setting so what I think makes deadlock so enjoyable. Yes the gameplay is amazing and the moba aspects are great but I just don’t think riot will even try to copy valve and make a deadlock clone. What is all y’all’s thoughts.

Extremely funny the difference between riot fans (couldn't give two shits about any "rivalry") vs valve fans (absolute seething hatred towards riot and anybody who even suggests they had fun playing a riot game)

Riot spent the majority of the late 2000s and early 2010s backstabbing Valve and Icefrog over Dota. No surprise Valve fans fucking hate them.
