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.

Their games aren't terrible. I liked valorant quite a bit in beta. But their monitization is terrible and anti consumer compared to valve.

I think I'm just using the wrong term. I mean the free to play model. Not the monetization.

CS2 isn't F2P.

You need Premiere or the game is unplayable tbh.
