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.

If the game is successful enough Riot will 100% create a Deadlock clone, just look at EVERY SINGLE game Riots owns, it's all copies from other successful games with their IP on it, they don't have a single original game.

I hear what you’re saying but LoL is from the creators of DOTA this is coming from someone who played DOTA on Warcraft 3
