If you really think about it it would work. Xbox & playstation just need tomake compatible keyboards and a mouse. Bam problem solved. Also lol is comp only. So people that get the console version would need to make a league account and link it to their psn or xbl account. That way it dosnt matter what console you have, you and your frends can play. Correct me if im wrong but ps4 has skype as well as the xbox one . So bang, you can communicate like that. It WOULD work. But i dont see why its not happening. I love league, I just cant buy a uber awsome comp. Plus for some people its more cnveinient (excuse the spelling). RITO MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!!!

Requiring additional hardware a game system doesn't originally come with has pretty awful track record. More console-side than game-side, but either way the market is considerably lower when you're talking about a very specific combination of hardware.

Also - why use a keyboard and mouse to play a console game? Seems to defeat the entire purpose of using a console. Not that playing on a wide-screen TV wouldn't be cool, but still. When you think consoles you think their swanky controls, not keyboard and mouse.

Well you could use the controller if you wanted also?? But most ppl like mouse n keyboard.

While I think putting league on console is bad. I've known people and mostly a friends dad who actually prefered to play with a keyboard and mouse when playing FPS on councils because he had more control than a player with a controller. He could tune the Sensitivity a lot more and make it so he would make amazing 360 kills (not like 360 no scope headshot bs) He would be able to turn on you light you up and turn back to kill another person. Honestly I find using a mouse/keyboard much more comfortable.

Yet I think requiring players to get additional peripherals for a console, that would honestly have a very small community dwarfed by the PC community, is just pointless for 1 game. I feel like it would get the World of Tanks treatment and be a massive joke compared to what the pc version is (seriously has anyone seen the massive difference?). Overall MOBA's for the most part (Except smite which i think is going to consoles) would have a hard time making a stand on the console. There are so many key binds that you would be hard pressed to find an effective way to make it comfortable for players.

Of course League would work on consoles! Even without a keyboard a mouse. Lord of The Rings: Guardians of Middle Earth works fine on the PS3.

I loved that game and it worked very well for console. It was a lot of "cone" type aiming where you could hold the button down and aim. If there was less lag and more people I probably never would have stopped playing it.

It's kinda fun to play. Gandalf is too OP tho. They need to nerf his abilities imo. lol

Is that game still active? To be honest that's the game that got me into LOL. The game died out and I couldn't find a match so I switched to LOL. It had potential but was brutally laggy at times.

Doubtfully Riot would make more money from this move.

Sony and Microsoft would make nothing from platforming a free to play cross-platform game not to mention the entire game would have to be re-coded twice for each respective platforms.

Also for a deal to be made with Sony and Microsoft because Riot would have to pay to have there game to available on their platforms for free the revenue you would make from this move likely would not be marginally high enough to yield a substantial profit since just about every person who can afford a PS4 or Xbox One owns a PC or Mac which League is available on.

So logically it makes no sense for Riot to platform their game for consoles except maybe the steam box which nobody has and means that Valve who owns Steam and Dota would advertise their competitor for there system.

Its a dream man. Only a dream but i just figured if hi-rez studios is bringing smite to the xbone. Why cant rito? Nawimsayin? Because isnt smite also f2p?

Smite is a completely different MOBA. The way Smite is played fits a console so much better and instinctively than other MOBA's and its all because Smite is 3rd person. It makes moving and binding abilities much easier and more common sense. From what I know of Smite they don't really have that many actives on items You have your 4 abilities, 2 consumables, and 2 Summoners (by league terminology). thats really easy to map to each XYAB (or PS equivalent). Look at League and Dota2, the biggest MOBA's, where you have 4 abilities, 2 Summoners for League, and multiple actives on Items, and leagues trinkets. League its typical to have maybe 2 actives, but being a support main I typically have 4 mapped to different keys and my mouse. This would be near impossible to properly play with that many and would curb how the game itself is played.

Also lets see you pull a flashy Lb play with Deathfire grasp, each ability on a single target with a controller.

In another part of this discussion I've explained thats its rather unreasonable to buy a keyboard/mouse or an adapter just to play 1 game or a small portion of mobas that would actually leave PC for the nightmare that is Sony/Microsoft. So you have to assume that all players will have a controller instead and have to discuss it as such.

If they did my 4 friends and I could finally all play at the same time and maybe move up in rank

Nvidia has a tablet called Shield were you can play your PC games on your tv with a controller and what not

...Why. I think that's the only real question here.

Why bother creating League for consoles if you plan to have players use PC peripherals? Just...play on PC. It would be far more efficient for them to create a communication system on the existing game than to create an entirely new LoL for console use.

You don't need an uber computer to play League of Legends, by the way; you can easily build a computer for the same price as consoles that equals them in performance if not being superior. I put about $1,800 into my current computer 4 years ago and it's still rocking 200 FPS maxed out in League, so I think you can manage 60 fps with a (relative) potato.
