How the fuck has a side-project game with little to no playerbase gotten more accomplished in a year than the only game made by Riot in it's entire 8 years of existence?

>more accomplished
what? HotS is still pretty bad

It's definitely better than it was a year ago. It will never be as good as Dota, but it's one of the better alternative games in the genre.

Smite's pretty much fucked with Paladins on the way.

Rito has over 1k "multitalented" people doing nothing
Blizzard is made up of veterans and shit

Experience and LoL paving the way for casual esports

This, I believe 80% of Riot's employees are "artists" of some kind.

If they actually had that many artists, it wouldn't take years to get updated splashes and models

How does LoL maintain a playerbase if Riot does almost nothing to keep them?

is that Geralt

After they've spent a lot of money on skins and champions they're feel like they have to stick with the game otherwise their "investment" is lost

It's too big to fail

It's the D2 Necromancer. Samwise took a lot of liberties with his design.

No, it's Caulder from Advance Wars: Days of Ruin

>It will never be as good as Dota
how's waiting on Pitlord feel like?

It wouldn't if they cared, I remember seeing a guy from Riot remaking the Heimerdinger model live in about 30 minutes, then it took them a fuckton of time for them to actually release the rework.

>all that bird shit flowing down his back

Plus, crows smell like shit. Necro confirmed smelly shitback

>hots is good
What the fuck am I reading

>a lot of liberties

LoL got pit lord before Dota 2

riot employees are all a bunch of retards, blizzard at least still people that know what they are doing even if the ones in charge are mostly idiots

He's coming soon. The wait will be worth it.
Didn't say it was good, just that it's receiving more support than one of the biggest games in the genre despite being so poorly received.

The rate at which they add heroes is one the the worst thing about this company. They don't make games anymore now they don't even fucking produce tangible content for the game other than hats, compendiums, and shit game modes no one plays.

No, that would be bIzzard's mantra. Everyone is an artist+something.

And HotS is basically dead.

Who is the pit lord in LoL?

Does any ASSFAGGOTS-type have DX11 support besides HotS?

Ryze's nth rework

Sunk costs. After "investing" years of time and possibly hundreds of dollars it's hard to give anything up.

See WoW players who are going 12 years straight still playing.

Dota 2 has Vulkan.

I find games about as fast as I do in Dota 2. Don't know about dead, but it's not nearly as popular as the big two.

Since when?

Since i am too lazy too google it for you, faggot.
