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.

True but if you think Riot will just sit there and do nothing while Deadlock flourishes in its own new genre that it created then boy do I have news for you.

i think you vastly overestimate how much riot cares about this. League is insanely far beyond what deadlock will become, deadlock wont even come close to the numbers league has any time soon if at all.

I think you vastly underestimate the greed and laziness of Riot

I dont think any of that is even remotely true.

If they were lazy, their IP wouldnt be doing what it does. On every title they put out.

You can hate riot all you want, but to say theyre lazy and greedy? doesnt even make sense. They made Arcane at a monetary loss, didnt care, and are going to continue making Arcane series'. Why? For the players. Thats not greed. No matter how you try to spin it.
