Can’t get excited for any riot game. It would just end up like lol. Like a toxic abusive ex you keep going back to. I remember Valorant ranked being so much fun, now it’s just miserable. The stats say this too. Most players are stuck in lower ranks. Such a good game wasted by riot whose only goal is selling skins.

As a fighting game fan, this one shows promise. The devs are the Cannon brothers. They are the guys that founded Evo, the biggest fighting game event. They also created and freely licensed rollback netcode, the gold standard for fighting game netcode. the core of the game will likely be excellent. The f2p model hasn’t really been done at this level in fighting games. Most games are sold at full price and they sell costumes and characters as dlc. I’m hoping this game will get more people to try fighting games and hopefully it doesn’t become a loot box simulator.

Oh don’t get me wrong. I know riot makes high quality games. The sound effects on val fee like coke to my brain. But the problem is riots specific matchmaking system and the horrible community it creates. I will def play this if it runs on my pc cause the early times are the best.
