Is TFT still popular?

Caitlyn FTW··1 votes·1,079 views

I don't know how you measures a game's popularity but I was wondering if this game is still relevant. I would actually play this game if it was on mobile but for some reason it is taking Riot so long to import this game to mobile. I just want to play it in my spare time when I can't really play on my laptop.

you measure a game's popularity by it's player/time over a span of a month or more and then compare it to other games.

That's an interesting concept to measure the popularity. Do you mathematically measure it by popularity = Players ÷ time. That's sounds about weird.

essentially. let's say that today there are 1 million fortnite players. and tomorrow there are eight hundred thousand. and the next day there are five hundred thousand. let's say that as per the next span of 2 weeks the player rate steadily drops from 500,000 to 250,000 and then stays there. would you say that within that 2 week span the popularity of the game has increased or decreased?

typically when using metrics such as popularity of a game a line graph is used because popularity is often a value that is determined over time. so amount of players divided by time spent playing.

the bottom axis would be x = time and the side axis would be y = number of players.

Yes it's popular, I play it more than actual LoL to spare myself the rage inducing games of Ranked. I mean it's not that old brah, you can't expect everything and you can't just port games from one programming language to another when they are as complex as a game like TFT because of syntax in the programming languages. A TFT client would require a whole Mobile client, which takes time other wise they'd have to redo the PC Client as well instead of having incorporated into the LoL client.

Mobile in the end they can have match with PC players, but with TFT on PC being a part of the actual LoL client/game it's not mobile compatible thus in needs in programmed into a langauge that is. A game that complex and popular needs some hard work and actual testing before it close to a public release.

I'm just waiting for LoR; that I really wanna play as an old Hearthstone player.

Yeah I guess it needs time makes sense. I'm just excited to play it on mobile along side LoR

Riot so long to import this game to mobile

Cause you can't just say "copy files and port to mobile" that's not how programming works. They have to write totally different code and pretty much set up the game from scratch to make it work on a new platform. It's supposed to launch in 2020, before May, for Mobile. So, soon (TM).
