league of legends on console?

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.

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?

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.

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

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

---------------------(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.

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.

A simple solution would be to just have a patch that lets you use a keyboard and mouse on the xbox

Consoles have keyboard and mouse support now idk why it ain't there yet.

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.

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/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.

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.

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.

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;)

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?

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
