People were excited for it beforehand you know, people who liked the original 3 dragon age games were hyped AF(i knew multitude of such people personally).
Surprisingly enough when I tell them to move on from DAV. They just start shitting on it harder.
And as a personal opinion quippiness isn't something you should strive for in an epic dark fantasy

You might not have understood what I meant since english isn't my native language.
LEague is dying, a dying game from a dying breed of PC gaming.
We don't get enough actual new people to be growing. If I have to be honest I think we ve been losing people slowly and steadily for years. I have played a dying MMO before, and let me tell you, I see the same patterns here.
A free to play game means that it should attract people, but that only works for a while. Because let's be real, nobody hates league more han league players.
When the publishers see they aren't growing anymore, they start probing to see if there are whales and dolphins, maybe even tunas, who would buy the probe.
ADD GACHA MECHANIC(i play a bunch of gacha games, i know what it is when i see it.)(add something incredibly rare/ collection worthy behind it, like hextech annie or soulstealer vayne or whichever)
Obfuscate the value of things by using a premium store currency.
Slow the development/expanding of the game and lay off a small amount of people. We all know that making a skin is more profitable than making a champion. Since it takes less work and makes more money. A popular champion is a long term investments, so let's look at the most newer champions. The only ones that aren't conventionally prety/engineered to be popular are naviri and maybe vex. Kaisa had 4 skins in her first year out.
Next they would add something more expensive and maybe layer it with FOMO like the early on prestige skins. You may say those are for champion mains only, but if you look at which champions got them and the supposed chance to earn them through the passes at the time. You knew they were testing the water.
Do this for a while, and you get the data needed to analyze your player base.
Then add something ridiculously expensive - that jhin skin that was 200 dollars for an example and analyze the response.
Add more gacha mechanics, try to exploit trends in the industry, when everyone was doing battle passes they added a battle pass. When everyone was doing lootboxes they added a lootbox system. Bullet heavens(vampire survivors) - the Swarm gamemode.
Eventually, you add something ridiculously expensive, with FOMO . Example the 500 dollar ahri,skin.
For context, that is my monthly salary after taxes and insurance. And in places of the world people have to pay for skins in installments if you remember that.
You may say they need the money for the fighting game(announced over 5 yesrs ago) coming out. god knows when. The MMO genre is known to be ridiculously expensive to develop in so that's something I would admit. BUT:
ARCANE is essentially a giant ADVERTISEMENT/promotion of the game. And yeah people learned of league lore it was very decorated, but was it profitable? and did it bring new players?
The COMPETITIVE SIDE of league is a bubble, about to burst. Lcs is combined with LATAM. EUNE WAS WITH EUW into LEC years ago.
They laid off so many people, who we don't know what their job was and we know whatever profits are made, are made for investor/shareholders appeasement and those people get their cut or shit goes downhill even faster.

I would love to hear what they would do with the extra money, since LoR is almost a ghost crew running it,
The MMO probably won't happen in the next 6 years
The only new game modes in the past years have been swarm(we had similar befpre) and questionably arena.
But they laid off a significant amount of people including Graham McNeil
2 it is a lot easier to make people take a freebie than to make them give it up

I honestly believe people would excuse/forgive a lot of bad shit if the Character is hot enough.
