Dear Riot, do you plan to develop a virtual reality MOBA in the future?

Dear Riot, I sincerely hope that you will consider developing a MOBA for virtual reality once it becomes widely available. There are so many neat things that you guys could do, and I believe you're a big enough company to pull it off once the time is right.

I am quite suprised by this suggestion. How exactly would such a MOBA work ? The headmotions as well as the handheld controller don't really seem to compliment such a game.

Similarly to Paragon, Overwatch, or Battleborn, I'd imagine. Or maybe a first-person SMITE.

From what I have seen from VR and those Hero Shooters/MOBAs/whatever it seems like it will take a long time for that to eventually work out.

Oh, absolutely. And I'd say it would work best with a SMITE style, where your attacks always fire at the same level regardless of your vision, and your vision is used merely to adjust aiming distance and rotation.

It's doable, but I'm not sure it's a good idea just yet.

That's exactly what I was thinking, I would imagine this would be something that wouldn't come out for years to allow the technology to develop and become available to the general public. I just hope that Riot is thinking about it and planning for the future.

I believe it is very possible. Picture this. It could use PS move controllers or equivalent to be a point and click style like league. That combined with various menus and interfaces that you could open by holding a specific button on one controller and selecting from it with the other. Imagine like 'easel mode' from the harmonix game on ps vr. Could be quite nice indeed.
