Cross Platform (Hear me out)

I think LoL could go onto other platforms. Hear me out here. We'll take something like DC Universe. Its an MMO made for PC. But, they took a step ahead and put it on Playstation 4 and you use a USB keyboard and mouse on your PS4. I think it would be cool to see Riot take a step in this direction

Here are my reasons:

People who don't have access to a good PC(or any PC) could experience LoL
It would fall in line to what Next-Gen is trying to do. (All in One)
It would create more income.
It could connect friends better.
More Streamers (built in streaming system on PS4)
Better push for eSports

But those are my thoughts, it would be way handier to be able to play on a console using a keyboard. Especially since my PS4 is way more powerful than my PC. If you have any thoughts, drop em below! Dont forget to share.

It wouldn't make a difference to me, haven't had a console in 10 years, but I think it would make pinging hard/obsolete.

Hence the keyboard and mouse.

but why would anyone want that? I understand "I own a console and not a good laptop", but from an objective standpoint, it really doesn't make sense to market keyboards and mice as peripherals of consoles. Consoles go into your tv, you play them in your living room. Do you expect to be chained a couple feet away from the tv, craning your neck up so your keyboard plugs in? Do you expect to play with a wireless keyboard and mouse and experience the inevitable lag? I'm not feeling it.

Prepare for delayed patches due to console requirements for updating your game.

Riot has nothing to gain from cross platform, people in asia are playing on cardboard box computers in pc cafes, seems fine for them. 70mil active accounts, there's no reason to bother.

Something tells me fucking around wasting time getting the game to work properly on consoles and then ruining the PC patch freedom they have is a complete waste of time and resources. They can't even get it working right on Mac half the time.
