Overwatch will not steal LoL Players

The games aren't even relevant or similar. Overwatch and League don't compete for the same niche in the gaming world, so Overwatch wouldn't poach League players any more than any other class based shooter game. If it was a new MOBA, then yes, it might poach LOL players, but Heroes of the Storm didn't do that. Overwatch is most likely to draw in players who play Team Fortress, Star Wars Battlefront, or Call of Duty. I don't think there's any reason why an FPS game that's predominantly console based will be stealing players from a PC exclusive strategy game.

LoL has hit it's peak. It needs new things to do... New maps to conquer... New Game Modes to play in...

Rotation doesn't cut it...we need a permanent, NEW mode... Like a free for all, or Hexakill.

It is fun though, and people are playing it not because it is better than League, but because it is fun and quick to play.

Time is a very big factor here. Not everyone has time to play a 20-60 minute game.

Probably not. I do believe LoL has hit it's peak though.

I just LOL everytime I see someone say this game will kill this game etc. It's funny how ignorant people truly are in their own little worlds. You couldn't pay me to play Overwatch for 2 reasons. Satan made it and FPS are boring AF.
