So is the video on monday going to be our usual dev update with other stuff or will it just be focused on the 2v2v2v2 game mode?
Will be a while (late July most likely) till the next Dev Update. Stuff on Monday will be a pre PBE trailer showing a range of things that are part of Soulfighter, including a bit of 2v2v2v2 footage
okay, but what does that mean in relation to this teaser? I couldn't tell if this was
something about the league fighting game
some sort of 1v1 limited game mode
some sort of unique community 1v1 tournament similar to clash
hell, I still have no f**king clue what this teaser is actually advertising
This is the fight you’ve been waiting for.
Soul Fighter opens the stadium doors July 20.
Made in collaboration with Wizz and CRCR.
none of that means anything to me and I've been playing league since 2011. Is this just going to be another battle pass grind-athon with generic daily missions?
This is just a small teaser today. Lot more substance on Monday in a longer video
Can’t believe riot made an entire separate league themed fighting game as a summer event
lol
Is this new gamemode gonna have ranked and stuff or is it just a casual rotating mode?
Will have a rating system, similar to the one TFT uses for HyperRoll
I had a brief, terrified moment where I thought Riot had actually named their fighting game "Soul Fighter" like some shitty shovelware game from the mid 2000s that tricked your poor grandma into buying it as a Christmas gift because you said you wanted "Street Fight or Soul Caliber" for the PS2.
Also, who's voicing the announcer? I know it's an "announcer voice" but it sounds like a LCS or LEC caster that I can't quite put my finger on.
We're instead going for Street Kombat Soul Tag Guilty Versus Ultimate Edition Z.
Normally I support the unique skins argument but you are right that this can work as well. Odyssey Kayn as an ultimate skin would have worked, too. And as much as seraphine release was a fiasco on many fronts, her skin being this kd/a tie-in was a great idea.
Agreed, Odyssey Kayn's a great example. I think even as a Legendary he gets a lot more compelling if you've seen the associated Odyssey stuff that fleshes out the world he's part of a bit more
This has no connection to Fighting Games
The event thematic and associated skin line do have some fighting game inspiration in them for what it's worth :)
really hope that there is a dev blog in store for the 2v2v2v2 mode, love reading the dev blogs and the last one [Naafiri] was a blast
We'll do some stuff (I think once it's live in July, can't recall exact timing though)
Can we get mastery points (not tokens just points) and eternals progress in this mode? This looks amazing and I’ve been waiting for a new primary game mode, but part of what held me back from investing in previous modes is not being able to progress in those areas.
Not sure if we've discussed or not. Will pass the suggestion on though!
Is there any way this is being brought in as a permanent mode (or regular and maintained mode) or is this going to be a one time thing then dumped in the "too much effort to maintain" pile with nexus blitz, odessey, dominion, treeline, etc etc
Depends on how much people play it. We really want to continue to develop it, run it regularly etc and think there's something really fun to it as a mode. But if people don't end up playing it we can't justify doing so. So crossing our fingers, but at this point what comes next will depend on player interest
Ehhhh I feel having Ultimate skins be part of an existing skinline devalues them. Part of the appeal is being something totally unique. Pulsefire Ezreal is now just another Pulsefire skin and in fact inferior to them
I can definitely see the argument. The other side of things is it means we can do a large event, with a range of other stuff that builds up that same thing, makes use of the ultimate skin in other ways etc as well. Let us know what you think after the event's actually out, or at least how you're feeling after Monday's reveal of some more stuff?
summer event in all 4 games?
All four will be taking part, yeah, though to varying degrees. LoL PC will have the most stuff going on overall, though definitely worth checking out the others too
RIOT really should have included that this is an event/skin teaser because there are way too many connfused people in the comments on youtube who assume its the fighting game
We're going to add "Summer Event" to the video title, good call
Meddler and Brightmoon have entered the chat.
Really looking forward to being able to call this thing by it's actual, straightforward name, not the 2v2v2v2 description every time when talking about it publicly....
I think it’s Samira because she’s getting the ultimate skin for this line.
Yep, Samira
its posted on the league of legends channel, with league champions, with credits at the end that tell you which games this event is going to touch, more like reading comprehension
It's also just a short teaser on a Friday and we'll have some more substantial stuff, including game mode footage, on Monday :)
Wait is this a teaser for the new game mode or the actual fighting game
This is a teaser for the summer event that includes the new 2v2v2v2 game mode, skin line and some other stuff. It's not associated with Project L (fighting game that's being developed by a separate team at Riot). More on the event coming Monday, then a lot of it will hit PBE on Tuesday :)
Hey Meddler would you know what the modes team's plan is for after the mode goes live. Will it mostly be iterating based on feedback for another run or will they start working on older modes again
Depends on how the mode goes in terms of player feedback, playrate etc. Going in open minded
I want to believe. Actions speak louder than words and the track record isn't great. I just wish Riot would release game modes for fun without worrying about huge corporate overhead. You guy used to not worry about trying things out
Understood on actions being what matters. Tag me on a thread in a couple of weeks if you want to continue this conversation then once you've seen what we're working on on PBE?
Will PBE be fixed by then? Haven't been able to log in for like 10 days.
If you haven't already I'd suggest trying with a fresh account - we've been seeing some accounts are bugged at present. Definitely want to fix that, but as a workaround making a new one might get you in in the meantime
