But I am not a big fan of riot overall so I will not try this or their TCG or whatever else that 3rd game they showed was. | ||

In fact, we don't have any decent competitive FPS game for quite a while now, if you don't want to play CSGO. Looking forward to trying it out, looks exciting.

Hero shooter mechanic with every single character being different toolset wise, and sub 0.5 seconds lethal TTK. | ||

Runeterra (LoL card game) also looks like a shitty low-quality mobile TCG game set on the TFT map. Overall, there is very little to no creative innovation or growth for these Riot titles. Riot has no proof that they can make a quality game outside of League, which took them years to make good in the first place. | ||

More importantly is that LoL released without real competition. WC3 DotA was a pain the ass to play, Demigod flopped, HoN wasn't out yet (and was HoN) and that was it for MOBAs and... that was it. "Having working netcode and match making" was the bar to entry for the market at the time. It's going to be a lot different when you're talking about entering markets that are established. Even TFT, which was still a reasonably ripe market, hasn't really had a lasting impact (Twitch viewers have dropped from 100k avg daily to 8k). | ||

I know it was a buggy and flawed mess when it launched but I actually liked it. It's the only MOBA that really got unique hero design and some cool ideas outside of the standard stuff. I'm going to install it and relive the nostalgia since it actually has single-player  | ||

I think its because they're a big company, overdue for a project, they're been picking up a lot of great talent over the years, they used to have the biggest game in the world, so people are excited what they have to do next. Not to mention, Countersrike hasn't had serious competition outside of Asia in a long time with Quake Champions flopping. There's potential to this project. | ||

Heroes of the Storm failed because they were way too late in an oversatured space and not enough money. | ||

Dota2 was already released when most people I knew started playing league, and the biggest reason they picked league was "it isnt dota"... Riot has grown a lot over the years. I never really played their other things besides League, but I had a lot of fun with that game for a long time so I'll be excited to see how this game pans out. Hoping for
edit Heroes of the Storm failed because they were way too late in an oversatured space and not enough money. not only that, but it was way too casual for that game genre. from what I've heard most people didn't take it seriously, and blizz probably could've marketed it better too. but yeah, if that game came out like 10 years sooner... | ||

I'm all for longer ttk. Its really annoying when I like a new FPS, and people moan about everyone being so tanky and tsk being too long. I like long drawn out fps fights, and it doesn't seem there's anything servicing my need besides Overwatch. The reason I like to point to, is what people remark about damage in sc2 vs bw, If ttk is longer, then there's more micro, so fights become more engaging and fun instead of you just dying to one shot / army being blown up. Looking at the gameplay video, I think there's already gimmicky abilities, lol. | ||

Their goal is to make the game be able to run on as many machines as possible, but at the same time it just looks milquetoast. to be fair it's not even in alpha state yet, the game doesn't even have a name. That being said, I do see reasons to be hype. It looks like just the kind of game that I would enjoy playing, being someone who dislikes both CSGO and TF2. | ||

Yeah, basically every modern fps has it, it tends to not be very varied as guns either are so balanced that it doesn't practically matter what you pick, or one loadout will be superior and everyone will be running around with it. Whereas if you do things differently (like classic fps) you can have some guns clearly stronger than others, or have characteristics which are very powerful on a given map. Long TTK is fine if you can't just regenerate everything by hiding away, or just have someone heal you. It's part of the resource game when you have to scramble towards health pickups (which the enemy would know the positions of) when you're low on health, or decide to stay low health and be less predictable. This makes it actually meaningful to shoot someone without killing them outright because you'll bump them out of position or make them easier to kill. edit: just watched the video. It looks like it could've been the alpha of paladins/overwatch. not too terribly interesting for me since I've already moved on from this type of fps, oh well | ||

people who i deem have good taste and good sensibilities tend to get incredibly excited for these over other titles. for me, it looks exciting but probably isn't. good decision, but riot is sitting on their laurels a bit. | ||

https://playvalorant.com Gameplay preview of a round: 20 minute video with commentary on abilities: If it wasn't obvious to you before, at its core, it's a tactical shooter akin to CS:GO. There's a bomb defusal mode. Characters have abilities where some replace the standard consumables (flashbangs, smoke, molotovs, etc.), others resemble more Rainbow Six Siege gadgets and there are some that seem similar to Overwatch skills. Full list of Characters and Abilities: https://www.polygon.com/2020/3/2/21156239/valorant-characters-and-abilities-agents-riot-shooter There's mention of a closed beta, and their twitter mentions Summer 2020. | ||
