it has come to me to put some search into the game first off the tutorial video looks really well animated i know it's a big company and it has to have good advertisement but if so why would it look like an online game because it really looks like an online riot game,Let's also not forget that 100% of the Fan Base is PC / Mac / Online Gamers,Plus why would there be a sound track ? Seems suspicious doesn't it ? and the sound track seems a bit like the one in LoL in Game so yeah,And it's time for Riot Games Be Riot Games cause they've made 1 game so far i have put a link to the game tutorial and it really looks like a real gameplay footage i don't really know,But hopefully we will get an online version.

Obvious people want an online version. But how about we wait to see how well it does in the physical copy first? Reviews are fairly positive so far which is good.

True but you see not many people like to play it in a board and i am still wondering why is there a sound track ?

"Not many people like to play it in a board" ... what? A lot of people enjoy board games! Check out "BoardGameGeek" and the huge community there.

Many board games ship with a soundtrack that you can play in the background while playing the game. It adds atmosphere and theme. Games like "Last Night on Earth" and others have them. It could also be related to the time aspect of the game, some games like "Space Alert" use a soundtrack for actual gameplay purposes.

Yes i know but you see the fan base is 100% Online gamers that's all of it and so the whole fan base can play it and don't forget it would support they're funding more and more cause everybody that plays League plays online so yeah hope you will understand

They want to expand their player base and this is a great way to do it. Maybe later down the road they will consider it, but reaching different markets is very important.

I do realize that but think if it this way wouldn't it be more enjoyable ? plus many people don't have friends that play board games and many people love meeting others and playing online just how i made my best friend in LoL

This simply isn't true. MvM is one of the most popular board games already, I think it's currently around #50 of BGGs all-time best board games. The fan base clearly aren't 100% online gamers, anymore. You also don't understand the incredible production value of the physical copy. Go over to BGG or Youtube and read/watch the reviews. Riot knocked the ball way out of the park, when it comes to making a solid, fun board game. They set a new standard when it comes to packaging, pricing and general sleekness of presentation. These are all factors you can't carry over to a digital version.

My question tho. Do all these ppl still want to play it if it's not free. I think the number of ppl would be significant smaller.

CrystalyzerSep 19, 20161 votes

I think online would be awesome, because then when I'm in queue with friends we can play it to pass the queue time.

ZuTuxSep 19, 20161 votes

Yes and it's also co-op so it will be more enjoyable and more team based

looks fun but... i already tried investing in a card/board game and it got me nowhere since i dont have friends who enjoy hours of rolling dice and building decks. not doing that again.

CaptainMillySep 19, 20162 votes

Then you need to get games that take 20 minutes to play and are fun and easy to learn. There are so many different small short boardgames available, they don't even include dice or making a deck of cards :)

"i dont have any friends"

the wonders of online gaming.

If they made and online version of this first and made it purchasable, I can imagine most of people saying: "pfff, if I want fun League spin-offs, i will play rotation mode maps! for free, on League as I used to." Now that it is an actual board game, making an online version of that is more like, "here is another option for this board game Riot made.. for less of a price! "

I didn't see anything in there that looked playable... animating images to move is way, way easier than developing a functional online game. That said I'd be interested in an online version--I have some friends that enjoy board games and to a lesser extent league that live across the country from me now that I think would love this.

The mechanics don't lend well to online playing, imo. The game simply requires too much communication. There's also the problem that it's asynchronous, so you'll only be actively playing for maybe 1/3rd of the time, the rest of the time you'll be waiting for the players or the ai to make their turns. And if someone goes afk or simply loses interest, you're SOL.

Also, Riot Games already were Riot Games. This is their 5th game, and the fact that it's a physical game shouldn't be an issue.
