With MOBAS like Smite and Paragon expanding to the ps4 and Xbox one, has riot given any thought to in doing the same?

Got a question for you: what's the biggest difference between MOBAs like Smite and Paragon, and League?

Um I'm not criticizing riot or anything, I'm just curious.

No honestly, do you understand the fundamental difference between them?

Because if you do, then you'll understand why LoL can't come to consoles.

I've played smite, not paragon

The difference he's referring to is that Smite and Paragon have a 3rd-person camera angle where you steer your character directly, while LoL is top-down and you issue commands like an RTS.

It would be functionally impossible to play LoL effectively with a controller.

Explain please

Basically, a joystick wouldn't be able to move a cursor with anywhere near the simultaneous speed and precision that a mouse can. Smite and Paragon work with a controller because they have a fixed camera and you're controlling the movement of your hero with directional inputs. Conversely, you control your character in LoL by issuing commands with a cursor that needs to move all over the screen, and you have the ability to move your camera to anywhere on the map, regardless of where your champion is.

Ah I see, i think you could have the ability to move your camera to anywhere on the map with a joystick , but I could definitely understand how the others won't work on other platforms. Thank you.
