People shouldn't have to download League of Legends to play TeamFight Tactics. A lot of returning players have no regard for League of Legends whatsoever. I also started noticing that we are getting blue essence for the first win of the day, but this currency is useless for TeamFight Tactic players. Please don't push players to download and give them a currency for a game that they never intended on playing.
The LoL front screen is a launcher already. I would guess it doesn't just use a few of the same resources, but a lot of them by the looks of it. Who knows maybe they will do a separate program in the future, but to launch it using all the same resources from their perspective is actually really smart and probably costs them a lot less to develop considering it is beta still. But for the TONS of players who are playing both, this makes a very seamless play between the two. I didn't already have it, I would download it all anyway, it is a free game that is pretty well made, but having both fun games linked makes things pretty simple. But then you also add in that by having both, they may actually pull in more players for both games who might start just because they have it now.
Seems like good marketing and resource management on their end.
I'd rather have it integrated, plus it probably uses a lot of the same stuff from LoL anyway. I do think that maybe have some things BE can do in team tactics.
its free marketing for them. its about being not stupid
