Riot Games Shouldn't Have Just One Game... MAKE A MMO LoL GAME.

I know the idea sounds ridiculous but the concept is there. After downloading the lol screensaver thing (http://screensaver.na.leagueoflegends.com/en_US), I noticed all the different worlds in this game, and the worlds are huge! I don't follow the lore all too well but there is Piltover with Jinx and Vi. Shurima with Azir and Taliyah. Bilgewater with graves and twisted fate I think. I don't want to make a chart that puts all the champions to their homes, but I'm sure if one of the devs see's this concept they can bring this idea together. I do believe there are many lol players out there who have been playing this game for a while and may start to get tired of just playing one game mode for years. And I do believe there are also people who would like to learn more about this game and connect with the characters Riot have created for us. I think huge fans of this game would love this idea and people who have walked away from lol may comeback and see that there is more than just a MOBA(i love this game, not hating). I keep hearing how people are quitting WoW also because it lost the vibe it used to have that you would really connect to the world it placed you in. And all those people who quit have been looking for the MMO that would do that. With the world that is already set with League, Riot could really nail this and make bank off of a game like this. I would really like to see some feedback to this post and I would love to see this idea progress greatly. Add on to this if you have concepts that could help with this.

You clearly have not noticed Bioluminescence's title of Senior Level Designer, then.

Hint: League of Legends doesn't need a Senior Level Designer.

I haven't looked into the staff. I just had a idea that I think would work and sounds great.

One problem: It would take about 10 years to create.

If we are talking about a MMO RPG...

Realistically it can be done in 3 years, you set the current champions as NPC and quest givers and pick some of the events for quest and fill the rest of quest with standard quest (get this, find this, kill this). From there you only have to expand the actual textures, you already have most of the themes for the locations as well as its fauna and flora.

If you want to rush it you can actually get in a year by picking only a single location, lets say Demacia, and get only champions from there participate, quest could be quite easy again since we already know they are on an ongoing war against Noxus so you could have escort, protect, capture missions. Also High noxus figures could serve as RAID bosses (who wouldn't love to fight Swain in his raven form). The rest of the locations could be considered expansions and delivered sequentially. (Targon, Pilvoter, Zaun, Blidgewater, Ionia).

Cannonical Big monsters and demons could also serve as RAID Bosses, think Cho'gath, Malphite, Anivia, Aurelio Sol. Champions that has been confirmed to be bigger than mountains.

Honestly the only problem I'm seeing is revenue, most MMO RPG relies on either subscriptions or in-game premium items which I don't see riot implementing simply because neither are on LoL yet (runes could easily be an RP only system if riot wanted to and considered optional)

About your last paragraph, with the number of active players in this game, I would say about a third of people who play lol would play it. And lol is also a game that gets its big load of money from micro transactions, what makes you think people wouldn't go pay the subscription for this. WoW sure has accomplished this. You just need a good MMO and people will play it. Anyways there are a bunch of people waiting for another MMO like WoW when it first came out.

They already have a story to be set with their characters in their wide varieties of worlds. The hard part of making an MMO a good MMO, is the story they have to make and how they will get the player to connect with the world their playing in, not aesthetics. Look at WoW, it looks like shit and a shit ton of people play it. Sure it would take time though.

Personally I'd rather see some kind of single player, group style RPG; I was thinking similar to the game 'live a live'.

FreeScapeJul 6, 20161 votes

I only want an MMO because of the number of different worlds and their diverse characters with each of the worlds within.

Granted, though I would think it'd feel even more grindy than wow since the fodder is minions; there's not much of any inbetween unit between them & champions, nor an intimidating boss monster since riot added auralionsol.

oh god no. 1 riot game is enough we dont need them screwing up another genre.

If they get it wrong, it wouldn't hurt the game. Either way hardcore fans would play the game. With the most played game in the world, if they get it wrong it won't hurt them.
