You know what would be awesome to see from Riot?

Their attempt at making an MMOPRG......you know, similar to that of WoW.

Just think of it...

Being able to see Demacia in all of its glory Being able to rise to a position of power in Noxus Wading up the shores of the Shadow Iles Dealing with some shady characters in Bilgewater Being entranced by the beauty of Ionia Trying to hunt down BAndle City, or even a Yordle for that matter! Building Hextech weapons in Piltover Advancing the fields of.....ahem.....science in Zaun Fighting alongside your chosen tribe in the Freljord Crossing the bridge in the Howling Abyss Testing yourself to reach the top of Mount Targon

And, in what would surely be my most favorite area...

Walking up the steps to Azir's palace in Shurima, Avoiding the Xer'sai while trying to cross Sai'Khaleek, Witnessing the destruction of Icathia in person

And thats just listing the major factions.....

We all know that Riot is trying to put the S into Riot GameS....and they kind of have done that with Mechs vs Minions......but I'd say it doesn't exactly count. So, something on the scale of Valoran but set on Runeterra would simply be amazing.

Do I expect to see this from Riot? Not really. There's speculation that a League style Fighting Game (i.e. Mortal Kombat) is in the works, but other then that...we have no idea what Riot is working on (well done at being pretty tight lipped about it). And despite being well over 100 times larger than they were when they first started, they are still no where near the size that Blizzard currently is at. So, an MMO that could Rival the size of WoW might be just out of Riot's reach.

Though....one can dream right?


EDIT: Repost from Story, Art, and Sound.....Apparently Riot thought it fit better here.

I truly would love this game. I would put all my time and love into it.

Buuuuuttt.......

I would rather see big events like bilgewater and other things in League of Legends, more often, then nothing for a while then this huge thing.

Well... At least we have Universe i guess! Amumu

I don't understand the appeal of doing fetch quests just so I can get access to better components / materials / loot / gear just so I can be able to fight the more powerful boss mons with my friends.

I also think having tons of randoms all talking to the same NPC to receive the same quest is lame, but then I prefer stealth games and would love to see Riot put their time and effort into developing one.

To each their own.

Edit: I guess exploring the world is neat, but I can't recall seeing an MMORPG where the stuff that existed in that world existed for some reason other than killing it / harvesting it for crafting stuffs. For that matter, I can't recall an MMORPG were the main goal wasn't killing things...

I agree it would be a great idea to have. I would love to be able to play a character from Zaun or Piltover, crafting my own hextech equipment and meet the Champions doing quests like gathering material for Viktor or find Twitch in the canalisation of Zaun, bringing an end to his random murders.

It is unlikely to happen, but it would be great. Let's keep up dreaming. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
