#LEAGUE OF LEGENDS AUTO CHESS RELEASE DATE MOD#

This version is where most of the players of the original mod eventually end up, along with lots of players from lower-income countries (like Peru, the Philippines) where paying for the unlockables isn't as viable.īlizzard releases something many years later which is irrelevant. Valve, on a timeline much slower than Riot but much faster than Blizzard, releases a version more faithful to the original mod, with more generous monetization (hopefully they've learned from Artifact this time.) and a focus on core players.

This version gets a few converts from the mod but mostly gets all the new players which never played the original mod, which is a bigger market anyway, making this game the highest by playercount (LoL / TeamFightTactics) It also has aggressive monetization to unlock gameplay options, which turns off fans of the mod, but means it prints lots of money which can be funneled back into marketing for new players.

Riot releases a version that, while the same basic idea, actually makes lots of design changes to streamline the design for new players (more intuitive mechanics, less of what they call 'anti-fun', lots of 'progression' like steadily unlocking characters and traits, which gives you a sense of progress even if you're not getting better). This game temporarily takes a chunk of the original mod's players, not that many new players, and has a smaller dedicated following (HoN / Drodo AutoChess). Huge amounts of people play and enjoy the original mod (WC3 Dota/ Dota 2 Autochess)įirst to market is a reskinned game with basically the same gameplay in a dedicated client, with different art direction. I predict it'll be similar to how the moba wars played out:
