League of Legends for PS4 or XBOX1?

Don't get me wrong, there isn't anything like this as far as I know, but it'd be really cool if our friends at league would make something of the sort. I mean picture it, getting home, looking through your console games, and finding league of legends. It would be awesome. I am just hoping this gets enough momentum to make it to the front desk of some RIOT bigwig and they decide it would be a good idea as well. I mean, if they did that, not only would they be able to reach more people with the game, but also some people who may have next-gen consoles, but crappy computers would be able to experience the game with high graphics, like it's supposed to be experienced. How they would do it I don't know. Whether they'd keep it a free to play game for consoles and do the same ip/rp system, or make the game pay to play and start you off with some skins or whatever I don't know, but anyway they do it would be awesome.

...I don't think you can really do a MOBA like league on a console. The level of control needed for League is just way too finite for a handheld controller.

There've been a couple, but they didn't turn out terribly great and they had to cut a lot of corners to get it to work.

You'd NEVER be able to have the two be compatible, the mouse users would have such an absurd advantage so as to not even be comparable.

Smite is getting a release on Xbox one, so it is possible. I know there is a LotR moba on consoles as well as PC. LoL would likely run fine on a PS3 or X360, even.
Its the behind the scenes stuff that will make it not so feasible though. They would have to hire a lot of new people to program it and such. The big thing would be that Riot would have to split a % or fixed amount of revenue of all of their micro-transactions with the console companies. That what I think would be the main reason why you wont see it happen. But what do I know, its not impossible....

he did say a 'moba like league of legends'. Smite isn't. It's a different beast. Smite could work, because of its third person perspective, it doesn't play like a standard moba. You're controlling it like a third person shooter, not like an RTS... and we all know TPS can work on console. But look at every RTS that has ever been released on a console... they don't tend to work well.
