Apex Legends Should Expand Outward Like League of Legends Has

The God of War games have always been popular as well, and they follow a Demi-God named Kratos who kills almost every Olympian God, and he is now taking on Norse Gods like Thor. Kratos has done some pretty bad things , but he also happens to be one of PlayStation's best heroes , and if he were to ever find himself in Runeterra, he would be able to wipe out most of League's champions. But there are certain champions that he might not be able to b

Second, this isn't the first time Seraphine has been allegedly inspired by a real person. Jeevun Sidhu, a senior designer at Riot, tweeted out that the character is actually based on his partner - something that Stephanie has acknowledged . When that story went around, though, Riot didn't issue some weak tea statement about the character not being based on anybody. It was only when they were called out by very compelling evidence that they said literally anything about it, likely in fear over another Edgar Davids situati

League of Legends ' expansion was emphasized earlier this week with a new cinematic story trailer for Ruined King: A League of Legends Story . Alongside the other untitled projects that Riot Games announced last year, Ruined King will be a single-player RPG set in the League of Legends universe. Players will add several iconic characters from the base game (Miss Fortune, Ahri, Illaoi, Yasuo, Braum, and Pyke) into their party as they explore the Shadow Isles. Slated to release early next year, it's the first of several ambitious projects set in the League of Legends universe to expand the story of Riot Games' now-iconic M

While fans might notice a lack of multiple skins, Riot Games did explain that they have to redesign each Champion "from the ground up." Aside from their inherent skills, it seems Riot Games included their skins and overall appearances in these redesigns as well. As a result, Champions in Wild Rift had a "limited" appearance versus the PC but sophisticated enough for mobile devices. Thankfully, there's plenty of beginner-friendly Champions across Wild Rift 's initial 40+ lin

This towering force comes with a granite shield that Master Chief will likely not be able to break no matter what weapon he uses, and even if he does break it, his bullets will just tickle Malphite. Chief's armor may be durable, but even Spartan armor cannot withstand Malphite's ultimate—which basically turns him into an 86 ton torp

Chief may not be able to outrun Warwick, but he can definitely slice straight through him with an energy sword, and seeing as Warwick doesn't wear any armor, bullets will be able to do maximum damage to

Moving forward, new champion releases shouldn't clash so closely with one another. Yone's debut heavily eclipsed Lillia's earlier arrival despite players knowing both would come out during the summer event. Furthermore, Seraphine's social media may have been planned months in advance, but this greatly took away from Samira who seemed like an afterthought. However, this year's schedule can largely be attributed to the shift cause by COVID-19, and it shouldn't be a sign that 2021 will continue an erratically slow or fast p

Moreover, with the lack of extra protective units, _ Wild Rift _ opens the floor Mortal Kombat shooter to more fast-paced and aggressive play on part of players. This fits well with other adjustments in _ Wild Rift _ , as the lack of item actives and ease of targeting can help players have a more straightforward approach towards a ma

Likewise, turrets will no longer have plates to ensure they can get eliminated much faster. They made this by making the entire game map much smaller and removing turrets that guarded the Nexus. The Nexus now has the ability to protect itself with its own turret shots. Super minions will start appearing in lanes as soon as turrets start disappearing from the

At the end of last year, Riot Games announced an effort to expand the League of Legends IP beyond its MOBA roots. Acquiring and partnering with several third-party studios, Riot Games' new initiative for its 10th anniversary has spawned a League of Legends fighting game, a popular FPS called Valorant , a collectible card game called Legends of Runeterra , and even a business/management sim for LoL esports. The League of Legends universe will soon reach far beyond the base game into a ton of new gaming experiences, a sentiment that Respawn Entertainment recently expressed with the hit battle royale Apex Legends as w

By doing away with the character entirely, Riot could come down on the right side of this. Instead of sticking their fingers in their ears and pretending there isn't a problem, this is an opportunity for the company to show it actually cares about its players. It's an opportunity for them to forgo a few million on top of their billions, and to actually help soothe harm done to a real person. It's also an opportunity for them to retire their abhorrent marketing strategy for Seraphine, which would do a lot to garner goodwill and help win back people they might have alienated. Sure, it's the path of least profit, meaning that they likely won't do any of this. However, from the perspective of moral imperative, it's the only right course of action to t
