but maybe this is just me pining for a game to fill the void ragnarok left in my heart Developping a full MMO takes times and lots of money. They would have started by now if it was their goal. MMOs as a genre seem to be dying out. WoW has been dwindling, GW2 never seemed to have much follow through, and I think the Star Wars one died. Destiny will save the genre tho. On July 17 2013 22:46 ihasaKAROT wrote: Im actually considering banning Udyr, so many horrible players just want to show of the skin in my ranked games Ah PFE days, how I've missed you. Subscription MMOs may be dying out, but there are a lot of mid-sized F2P MMOs that are having a lot of success out there. I would not be surprised at all if Riot has got a second project already going, they certainly have the manpower, time, and money to attempt it, whether it be an MMO or something else. If it is set on Runeterra, that will make me even happier. I think part of the problems with MMO these days is that when WoW came out there was no real precedent of large end game content. There were mainly sandbox games(Ultima online) that had that kind of content. So when WoW came out noone really harped on it for lacking that aspect of the game when it got gradually added each patch cycle. Now days when MMOs come out and don't really have a lot of end game content they get quickly forgotten so it's that much harder to actually make a sustainable MMO. People don't want the incomplete experience that was acceptable before.
Part of the problem is that new MMO devs learned the wrong lessons from WoW. For the past few years WoW has been entirely focused on becoming more accessible whether it's raiding, leveling, or whatever. That's fine for WoW because it's a very well established MMO, but doing the same thing for new MMOs is suicide. You need your initial launch content, both leveling and end-game, to last until you can get to the point where you're teasing the next big wave of content. Every single MMO launch I've seen since WoW has failed to do that.
The other key thing to remember is that you don't need to have 10 million players at launch. You don't even need 2 million. What you need is a game that will retain hundreds of thousands of players long enough for them to get excited and tell their friends they need to pick up the game. Then they get excited and tell their friends, and so on and so forth. It's really, really hard to get this right, which is why essentially no one has since WoW.

choice of marksman as the new term is debatable, but the logic about ad carry being an archaic term is sound. remember that riot wants to reach a wide audience of all skill levels, and this will help clarify intended roles and team compositions to newer players in particular
that said, i'd have liked to see mages be called casters instead, especially since morello explicitly named pantheon as an ad mage when ad caster is a phrase already in use. ad mage sounds contradictory, while caster is accepted as being stat neutral

I really like it, actually. These make a lot more sense than the previous paradigm. The removal of "carry" as a term is probably the best part of this whole thing, role should be what your kit is, not what you're expected to do.

I wonder if they're calling Riven an Assassin or a Fighter.

MARKSMAN OR FEED doesn't have the same ring to it.

Why was that post necessary exactly?
Req I'd better see you streaming that sweet Udyr skin later.

Yeah I would have preferred caster to mage as well, makes a lot more sense for AD casters.
|
fortunately the announcement said nothing about lanes, so MID AND/OR FEED is still ok

was hoping fighter would be bruiser, and marksman doesn't really roll off the tongue, but the overall clarifications are great
also... dat login and comic for Spirit Guard Udyr doe. insanely good. can't wait to play him!!!

seems reasonable
assassin = kill a guy with QWER mage = aoe guys with QWER tank = doesn't die from a QWER support = QWER doesn't do dmg fighter = turns into a magetank with QWER marksman = kill a guy with A
