Nothing says fun quite like spending an hour to find a dungeon group and then having the 4man premade vote-kick you so their dps buddy doesn't have competition for the drop from the boss

That does not happen anymore, since you're ALL on personal loot. No others options allowed.

In the case of WoW, despite it being personal loot, the boss will only drop a set number of items from what I have seen. If you kill it with 5 people, and 4 of those people are loot locked from the boss already, the 5th will generally get an item.

So it's entirely plausible they didn't want the lowered chance at getting an item from personal loot by kicking you. I've never seen a BFA boss drop more than 2 items.

Just an off the hip necro of the thread - but did Riot ever do anything with the MMO idea?

Well, maybe they shouldn't have hired every perky late-bloomer they could find from reddit/imgur/twitch/twitter to be their community reps/social media experts then sexually harass them at work until they turn into feminists.

They did this to themselves.

Does anyone have a tldr version of this sexual harassment deal? Did Riot actually do fucked up shit or is this just another shakedown?

It's a shakedown afaik.
Just workforce toxicity when you get predominantly male employees. Same fucking shit in my industry (construction), probably 100x worse, but you aren't reading headlines about it. Most likely because the females in this industry aren't feminists.

One of the lawsuits is a guy suing the company because the COO grabbed the guys nuts if I remember correctly. Not sure it's all feminism.

A lot of rekindled speculation that they may be working on an MMO. They had Riot employees talking about the genres they love the most during the 10 year anniversary event...every genre listed was a genre of a game they announced to be making (Card game, FPS, etc). But they also included MMORPG.

As our representative has informed, when asked about the MMO game, Laurento did not confirm or deny that a project of this kind is currently in development, but he immediately added: "Do you really think that we have revealed everything?"

Can't be any worse than half the garbage currently "in development", at least Riot has the money to put out a SHINY turd if nothing else.

Sure but if they haven't revealed its existence or anything it's still safe to say it's 5 years out if not more.

This is potentially something to be excited about, we'll see, but yeah, "very early stage of development"....so at least 5 years. One of the main Riot guys a few years ago was talking about them making an MMO with the playstyle somewhere between WoW and Wildstar, so a little more twitch based. That might have been before Wildstar flamed out, so who knows what the current plan is.

Honestly, if they used the same lore/world as they use for League of Legends to put out an MMO - it would at least be interesting to read about in an Eve Online type of way. If they could take it a step further and make combat similar to LoL's, I'd be pumped. Something more than the luckiest person with the best shinies doing the best rotation non stop for 8 minutes while not stepping in dog poop.

Sounds like Albion Online, except big budget. Fully polished, best graphics possible, with the right combat strides.

It could be everything Albion promised in alpha that never came to fruition due to budget.

Add to that as people have said, Leagues lore, and it could be a monster contender against the once-great WoW.
