league of legends on console?

ghost of rts·Jul 30, 2017·6 votes·28,444 views

Like smite, i was thinking of league getting on the xbox one or the ps4. It could bring in a lot more revenue and anything from top down or first person on league of legends will be worth my $20 easy. I don't know if riot is working on an xbox one release, but i would love to play it. Just like i was one of the beta testers for smite on the computer, i would strive to be a beta tester for riot. I have seen other people say how they want a league of legends on the xbox, so i am not alone. Please riot i beg you, please release an xbox one game of league of legends.

Smite has way less command buttoms and Third Person view, making it easier for consoles. Unless you really want to cripple the game I don't see that working out that well.

You can have 10 different button presses and you can also do a combination of button presses on a standard xbox controler

FloRaider42Jul 30, 20172 votes

4 abilities 2 summoners spells 6 item slots 1 trinket slot 1 Menu + other commands having to use combinations for basic commands seems really annoying. The main problem however controlling your champion and using abilities.

X, y, a, b, ls, rs.... Summoners could be your triggers,left button and right button could be different menus

Forgot select could be for shop and start for settings

I don't see how it could work at all.

One, you need a mouse. A joystick will not work for LoL's movements and ability direction.

Two, if you're just gonna hook up a mouse and keyboard to your console, then what's the point?

ghost of rtsJul 30, 20171 votes

You can do it in 3rd person but do a light color aoe area and press to confirm. Also the joy stick+direction=mouse click

How do you target attacks past minions? Would locked cam always be on? How would you toggle locked cam? How would you mange active items on 7 potential additional slots? How would you ping? Would the store in game have to be completely redone in order to accommodate? How long would the patches take (Blizzard has already made it clear that is super difficult to patch your game regularly through console).

Most importantly, how would you flash your mastery after a misplay? How could maintain the polish of the game without the ability to quickly flash in one direction and attack in the other?

ghost of rtsJul 30, 20171 votes

Again combination of buttons, you can use one button to avoid minions with attacks, your cam being locked ot unlocked should be a possible toggle in settings, again you can press one button to go to your items instead of abilities which could be 10 items, again you can have to hold down one button to toggle from free pointer roam or no free pointer, the store could be accessed in game by talking to the shopkeep, patches can be on the same cycle. Not saying this will be easy to learn but it is do-able

Sp33d Zer0Jul 30, 20174 votes

With the slow drag on joy sticks, how could you play

UnboundHadesJul 30, 20172 votes

basically any champ could be added here

Sp33d Zer0Jul 30, 20171 votes

Yes, but I put these ones in for specific they're higher drag needs. I could see some champions being easier with joystick based movement if it was done correctly, like draven or kalista.

ghost of rtsAug 9, 20171 votes

For the drag you can mess with settings, or get an elite controller with a higher turn rate

This is a programming nightmare waiting to happen, RIOT wouldn't waste their time like this trying to cater to an audience they never planned to tend to.

ghost of rtsJul 30, 20171 votes

How a nightmare?

DrCyanideJul 31, 20172 votes

StarCraft 1 on Nintendo 64 kind of nightmare.

You might be able to cobble together some sort of control setup to push all the buttons, but without some sort of aim assist it would be absolutely terrible to play. But if you're adding aim assist then you can't have console gamers playing against PC gamers, and you either can't have Ranked on the console or you have to create an entirely septate account to play with for console.

Frankly, it's not worth the effort.

ghost of rtsAug 9, 20171 votes

You wouldn't need an entirely new account, as smite has shown us. And why not free to play on comsoles?

DrCyanideAug 9, 20173 votes

Did you even read what I wrote? I didn't mention anything about price.

The account problem stems from the massive control difference. Smite doesn't require you to pick a unit out of a crowd, you point in the general direction and then fire. That control scheme is what their PC game is based around, which is why it works for both. League is not built on the Shooter control scheme, it's built on the RTS control scheme. If you think League has a chance of working on Console, playing with/against PC players (or in the same Ranking system), then you need an example of an RTS that works quickly and accurately without much if any assistance from the game itself.

The only thing that might work for speed and precision would be to use the motion controls to simulate mouse movement, but at that point why not just connect a computer up to your TV and use a wireless mouse?

ghost of rtsAug 18, 20171 votes

Movement projection, and i am not saying you can't but if it's to slow mess with the settings of an elite controller

Sp33d Zer0Jul 30, 20172 votes

I could never see it working. It would be like trying to put Starcraft on console. It requires to many APM for console

ghost of rtsJul 30, 20171 votes

Practice makes perfect and bots?

oSEXYPLATYPUSoJul 30, 20172 votes

here is an idea...

a league of legends RPG for console... something like a cross between the old gauntlet legends meets marrowind ...

you pick a champ and play them through the world of league and lore/back stories etc and you end up facing other champs as enemies based on lore etc but as you play you gain levels and experience as you complete quest/missions etc , earn gold to outfit your champ with stats/items abilities

"Impossible!!!"

Meanwhile box box playing in high elo with a ps4 controller once and a while.

ghost of rtsJul 30, 20172 votes

Honestly If box can, why doesn't riot let all of us

UnboundHadesJul 30, 20173 votes

A pro player barely managing to play with a controller doesn't prove a thing

ghost of rtsJul 30, 20171 votes

Again riot doesn't support it.... If riot would than it would be easier

UnboundHadesJul 30, 20172 votes

please explain how riot giving premade binds and a new view point which would fuck up the game completely would make it easier to play?

ghost of rtsAug 9, 20171 votes

Binds are up to you. And if you try to play league on console you will need to have an emulator, but could also make the use of an emulator a form of cheating. But if riot made it cross capatable, than would you need an emulator?

UnboundHadesAug 9, 20172 votes

took you 11 days to make a comment that didnt even answer my questions good job

ghost of rtsAug 18, 20171 votes

Can you read? I answered your questions, a new view point wouldn't fuck it up, it's just not the way YOU want it. But league needs You as a player

UnboundHadesAug 18, 20171 votes

9 more days and still avoid the question what a person

ghost of rtsAug 21, 20171 votes

What question are you not asking, "9 more days and still avoid the question what a person"... Oh that question, the answer is the very next lottery numbera are 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1

3 more days and still no answer u are the king of avoiding questions

---------------------(UPDATE!)----------------------

Xbox one now officially supports mouse and keyboard. It launched with the minecraft "better together" update. This makes minecraft the first game to officially add mouse/keyboard support. It also has cross platform with pc

There are more games coming, all developers have to do is add the support to there games.

A major, money related issue, is that the PC LoL is free to play but the console would cost. You can't just give the console version of this for free, seeing purchasing discs, burning them and getting the box are all costs.

SukishooJul 31, 20172 votes

Not true at all. SMITE is avaliable on PS4 and Xbox for free just like it is on PC, as it is digital there as well.

Ark SorcererJul 31, 20171 votes

First: Wasn't thinking about it digital... that is my fault. Second: I don't play SMITE so I would never know what they do.

A Wild SnackgurtJul 31, 20171 votes

Okay, I'm going to leave this comment in hopes it gives some info to everyone. Please be gentle.

First off I want to address the price issue.

The game on console would not work any differently then league on price. There are already a lot of game that are free on console that use micro transactions, like smite, warframe, Roblox, cross out, neverwinter, and many more. They all work because they're digital downloads only. So you couldn't go to the store and get a disk in the first place.

I'll leave links to some of the respective pages

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/warframe/bps3xf74b9v1

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/smite/c2mhs238pdns

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/neverwinter/c0gqp41kxpvz

Secondly, I want to address the issue of the controller.

I think it's believed that the consoles are strictly controller based, this isn't true. In fact Microsoft is currently working to make mouse/keyboard available to everyone. I think Sony already has something mouse/keyboard related (not 100% sure, but they sell mouse/keyboard stuff for the PS4). You have already been able to use keyboard for typing on many game such as ESO, Trove, Neverwinter, and other games that have a in game chat screen. You can also use a mouse by buying a device called a xim 4.

https://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Mouse-Adapter-Xbox-playstation-4/dp/B00MG654FM

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4MeGemt3A6A

Lastly is that the game wouldn't be able to run on a console.

Which is a silly thing to say. The pc ports that are already on console are running fine, and there is more to come, like black desert online, Tera, PUBG, h1z1, and many more. The consoles are evolving into mini computers, I don't think there isn't much that couldn't be ported at this point.

ghost of rtsAug 9, 20171 votes

Thank you for assisting me in teaching these people that its not far off, to go from console to pc or vice versa. But how would it not?

Busty DemonessAug 9, 20171 votes

If this was going to happen...

Controls would need to be adjusted dramatically. (Doing the buttons under ABXY controls from Xbox, so adjust accordingly. From bottom going counter clockwise, it's A B Y X.)

L Stick: Move champion. L3: Stop command R Stick: Directional target (skillshots and choose nearest valid for targeted), directional target defaults to direction you're facing when out of combat R3: Lock Frame Target under D Target L Trigger: Hold Position (automatically attacks whatever is in range, priority behavior may be adjusted in menu) R Trigger: Continually attack target L Bumper: (hold/toggle) R Stick moves camera R Bumper: Moves directional cursor beyond range for ping radial L+R Bumper: Use Ultimate (inspired by COD:BO3) A Button: Attack Target (single basic attack) B Button: Skill 3 (may be manually configured by champion) X Button: Skill 1 Y Button: Skill 2

D Pad up: Open Shop D Pad down: Mastery D Pad left: Emoticon Menu (something being included later in League) D Pad Right: Quick Chat

All in all, totally different skillset that would not work well with League, especially since 2nd person (over the shoulder) view would not work well with a number of skills due to the ready need to reverse direction in many cases.

ghost of rtsAug 18, 20171 votes

reverse direction quickly, elite controller+settings

It would be amazing if they a version on Xbox. It would have to require keyboard mouse, but be using Xbox hardware is all. I'd love it I could get rid of my expensive PC then and just use my Xbox since it's much smaller and cheaper. All I play on PC is League of Legends anyways, would be nice to not need something specifically for it anymore. Xbox needs to just turn into a small/cheap PC as well as the system people know, they'd have the market cornered that way. Tons of extra money for skins too;)

MistycalNinjaSep 25, 20171 votes

seeing as ps4 always had keyboard and mouse support and xbox one x is adding keyboard and mouse support why not? these consoles have more gaming power than most computers people use in this game, so why not let everyone with a console have great graphics and high fps and play it from their console with keyboard and mouse?

Skeaky NeekyDec 27, 20171 votes

this would be fun but the movement the abilitys would be junk too hard to move and execute combos and for team fight it would be a train wreak Riven

Drifter86Jan 27, 20181 votes

With consoles supporting mouse and keyboard why not just use the same programs to run it on systems. However instead of giving controller support just require a mouse and keyboard for this game. Wouldn’t be the first time certain games require specific accessories to play them. I play this game a lot and would love to take my PS4 somewhere with mouse/keyboard to play instead of having to take my tower to places like my in laws where they don’t have a pc capable of running League of Legends.
