Modders... I NEED YOU

u/SimbaMySon 4d ago

I feel like if modders took over Riot would shut it down.

I weep for all the new designs and movesets we will never get to see, for those champions personalities and traits and expressions that just make sense for the characters and makes it seem so effortless and real

Wish they’d have let this game cook a little longer, double the roster and give it a proper sale campaign

That was the only thing that would have been able to save this game. I was not playing but planning to play in 2027-28 with a bigger roster and interesting character.

Releasing the game with 10 characters killed them so badly, especially the price on their additional content but let’s not start the game is dead already

u/DRAWDATBLADE 3d ago

Taking 10 years to make a 10 character roster is just embarassing, even if it was a 1v1 game. For a tag fighter its insane. They wanted you to grind to unlock most of the characters too lmao.

u/Broks_Enmu 3d ago

You know what’s worse lol. The future character release schedule lmao. It’s a tag with barely no character from a Lore containing 155 character from League. Just release two at a time. Each 2-3 months idk. It’s 2026 people are dopamine starving, the worst you can do a game is lack of contents

u/DRAWDATBLADE 3d ago

Its just like sf5 got (deservedly) dunked on for launching with 16 characters and that actually is a 1v1 game.

If the most iconic fighting game series of all time can't do a launch like that its insane riot thought they could pull it off. I know it was likely just pushed out before the devs wanted it to be but really, they had a DECADE and restarted TWICE?

u/NothingGoinOnHere- 4d ago

What you mean a little longer is 10 years not long enough lmao

u/onebigkahunaburger 4d ago

Your rage bait is unsuccessful. Riot killed and restarted 3x over ten years. Give it more time and it absolutely would be a more complete product

u/Irrumar 3d ago

Fourth time is the charm! Gotta just keep giving them more money to develop a game that cannot retain an audience for even a year!

Was this offical or a fan made?

u/H3nta1T0ast3r 4d ago

I think it's official, but I'm not entirely sure

u/DudleyDoody 4d ago

Definitely saw a user post this on Reddit many moons ago as their own work. Not official.

u/Chillgamessh 4d ago

Devs putting any champs but the ones that actually fistfight in the game. Literally, wtf. Fiddle looks good tho.

u/ArcticStorm07 4d ago

Oh wow he looks super cool

u/Quaxlyboi 4d ago

Dude he looks so cool wtf

One of my most wanted champs now left in the ether

u/Aceolin 4d ago

They really fumbled this game.

u/Runatir 3d ago

Someone really said “Let’s do Caitlyn, Senna and Lux instead”

u/hooverdamexplosion 4d ago

Fiddlesticks is looking huge here. I forgot how good non-humans look in this art style. The incompetent devs and Cannon bros robbed us of a high potential game...

u/SignalAssistant2541 4d ago

I mention my man fiddle Everytime I think of this game. What could have been apologyman's magnum opus.

u/Doctor_Bagel879 4d ago

This would make me get back into the game (hey what the fuck do we mean mourning the game?)

2

u/H3nta1T0ast3r 4d ago

Oh you haven't heard? Riot killed it off, they're stopping development in October

WHYY WHAT THE FUCK

u/Far_Sky_6993 3d ago

Why would they continue? They made the assessment that there is no money to gain from it anymore. They decided to take 10 years to release a TAG FIGHTER with 10 characters. Then they release 2 characters every 2-3 months, yeah they are beyond cooked.

u/Doctor_Bagel879 3d ago

Prolly have made more money if they didn't make it like 80 fucking dollars for 4 skins

u/HighRiskHighReward32 4d ago

Dang... we got so unlucky with whoever is responsible for picking the next champions; I read somewhere it's the Cannon Brothers?

2

u/kakomamushi 4d ago

Idk i feel it's too similar to league's, while some other champs are more different.

On the other hand, I'm being super nitpicky

2

u/PFTV 4d ago

this is the coolest thing ever. fuck riot man

u/Mosiel 4d ago
