It's because they were able to do that that they picked up such a huge market share and were able to make their F2P model sustainable. Sure, if they had worked super carefully and slowly on the initial release, League would be more scalable, but it also wouldn't have any players. To put it in other words, Riot correctly recognized that they were an Amazon model, not a Ben & Jerry's model. MOBAs are a field with deeply entrenched network effects, lock-in, and huge benefits to being first-to-market. If they had pursued the Ben & Jerry's model of slow, careful growth, they'd be just another forgotten game developer. It wasn't just a time factor but also a pretty big experience gap. You see it still today where the company is set up with a lot of redundant components and lack of communication between different sectors. That's all the legacy from the initial management. A skilled, experienced and smart team wouldn't have made such a poorly built product in that timeframe if lead properly. So it's a combination of factors that lead to what is known as Riot. | ||

Like, do you go out of your way to pick Zarya if you see Pharah (for ults) or Soldier/Mei (for double shield front/mid line)? Or do you just pick which hero you think you should play for the given map, regardless of the other players? I think it's obvious that people will go out of their way to pick a Tank/Healer if the team needs it, but how often, if ever, do you pick the specific character with synergy in mind? I don't go for Combos ultimates with PuGs, that's way too difficult to coordinate. Characters that compliment one another I'll do. Most of the time I'm picking to the map first and will adjust later as needed. | ||

Might change if/when I get better and more familiar maybe. it's because they are free and obtainable with little effort. You now know how it is to get something exclusive. | ||
