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.

The team behind the game is then halved and updates stop within a year

That or it's on a slow and painful death till support is cut and the company focuses on their other sinking MOBA.

I'm not salty about Paladins and Hi-Rez studios at aaaaall!

hi-rez had this uncanny ability to find an incredibly fun gameplay loop and core game design foundation yet none of the managerial sense to keep the lights on lmao
