Needs some work and more characters still which is fine if they keep the game up. Fighting games usually need a few patches before they are any good. Game should be hitting its stride in about a year and a half.

>>723613134
Trying to block low on wake up or jump backwards gets you a tech roll, dumb things like not being able to double tap parry as it gets you a button after the parry even tho they have a screen freeze specifically for it, more stupid dash macro movement because the devs really love mvc dash cancelling but don't really know how it's supposed to fit their game

Holy shit they keep ruining Jinx. As if she wasn't ruined enough! What's next? Make her trans? I used to love the original Jinx. Grimdark shitty woke era.

>Arcane S2 had a terrible reception all around

Fighting games are a niche. Riot should've only gone forth with the idea AFTER the MMO was a success. They literally struck gold with Arcane S1. They could've pivoted, somewhat abandoned the sinking ship that is League of Legends (it's been losing players for years now) for something the casual crowd would've loved, and cashed in on the popularity of Arcane.
But no, they close their spin-off studio after what? 5 games? (Ekko's, Heimer's and Ziggs', Nunu's, Pirate one and Sylas')
And then decide to focus on another game that needs a diehard community of tryhards.

total self own and completely avoidable, frankly

It's a shit game with a shitty art style, shit roster of like 3 dudes, that plays like shit, that's outclassed by at least four other popular games despite being a tag game (that no one asked for), and will continue to be completely dismantled when Tokon comes out.

You know it's bad when even YouTube comments, which are usually bots sucking up the video, are complaining about it.

It's a non-functional tag game, I've never seen a tag fighter that straight up doesn't know how to handle having more than 1 character per on the screen when it's literally only 2v2 anyways
It's like the devs haven't even played their own game for bodyblocking to even get to this point

Fighting game players are shills that always flock to everything new hyping it up as the greatest thing ever only to go back to the one game they like after a month. This game signed it's death warrant when they made it a tag fighter and their entire dev team was full of kusoge enjoyers that all love games that are very niche and often made fun of in an already niche genre. Even if they made an actual decent (for a tag fighter) tag fighter, I don't think League as an IP has the same power to carry it as Marvel and DBZ.

They should have just stuck to making an SF clone but I do admire fooling Riot into funding your own personal kusoge.

Same problem as Rising Thunder:
Simplifying the inputs doesn't simplify the game.

There is literally zero point in all these stupid attempts to increase "accessibility" when you're still putting in year-long tag combos that deal 90%.

>>723615127
Making it a tag fighter doomed it and I have no idea how they couldn't see that. I think they just really wanted to have a 2v2 mode cos league is 5v5. Problem is it's been done before and it's always shit. No one wants to sit there watching their teammate get comboed to death while they can't even play.

>>723623218
also it's not good but even if it was good it would flop.

>>723623292
anon the people working on that game play some of the most degenerate characters from their respective games. no one shouldve entrusted a fucking xrd chipp player on making a fighting game

>>723623218
Cos just like RTS it takes up too much mental energy if you want to actually play well.

>>723615127
Yeah, I don't like tag fighters because they are waaaay too combo heavy for me, I was surprised that they still pivoted that way when they nuked motion inputs which means that the only way to play is to lab combos more than you actually play the fucking game. The most fun I've had with it is playing Jinx and Teemo and just running away 90% of the match until I whittle them down to the point where even a basic 5 combo streak can kill them.

Yes, I am that faggot ass zoner that plays like a rat the entire match just so that I can watch in glee as you slowly lose your fucking mind over it or rage-quit.

>>723623351
Yeah that was also a terrible decision. They needed someone to steer against those awful decisions. Another reason why "just let the devs do everything" is almost always a bad idea.

>>723623372
it's not even the mental energy nobody is willing to or even comprehends how much time it takes to play these games. you need to spend hundreds of hours on your first game to not be a complete retard then dozens of hours to be up to speed on whatever new one you pick up and that's just not how anyone plays games anymore.

I don't know. It pales in comparison to Team RED's (arcsys) work at having 2.5d models. Though I guess these models have costumes you can buy, so maybe they made them shittier on purpose so they can pump out more mtx.

>>723631127
Not him, but the game comes off as being very one-sided when anyone gets anything going ans they usually end up taking the whole bar and the guy getting combo'd having to just until his next character or round kicks in to get back in the game.

>>723631280
>the game comes off as being very one-sided when anyone gets anything going
that's basically every fighting game now. combo into knockdown into okizeme ggs.
but Break exists. you get it minimum once per round to break out of any combo. the longer the combo the more Break you get aswell. so if anyone TODs you, you're almost guaranteed to build Break off that. which even with 1 char remaining is strong as fuck because of Fury.
now if people absolutely hate to sit there for 20 seconds just watching themselves get combo'd, i'd say the game, and probably most tag games, just aren't for them. to me it's a double edged sword. yeah, i have to watch the combo movie, but i also get to do my combos and i like that.

>>723617083
