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.

i dont think they care to compete with deadlock, League is doing well and is very different when compared to deadlock to where itll exist with no issue.

You must have missed the news then cause Riot IS working on their own deadlock, it was leaked or announced back when the original beta was popping off.

They even went as far as to tell all the streamers they got power over to NOT mention deadlock in any way on their streams cause they're so insecure and intimidated by the competition

i mean it literally makes the most sense, totally fits their MO, their whole success is based on copying stuff and making it more successful.

League, Valorant(although cs go might still be more popular although it must be pretty close or val actually is higher these days), TFT.
