I only familiar with Riot through Legends of Runeterra which I consider to be the best Card Game right now with wonderful support.
I expect a fairly generic MMO with solid design and quality content if I go by their other games.
As someone mentioned, at worse it will be worth a playthrough I think.

An MMO would be a much different experience than all their other games as you won't be piloting any of their Champions. So really depends how watered down the experience is.
I would check it out since the LoL universe is pretty cool, but I think I'm past my MMO days, and playing as an avg joe doesn't appeal to me.

I'm sure they do. However the Asians as a people are like the most compulsive gamblers in humanity. There's always ways to gamble without gambling. It's why Japan invented Pachinko.

This is great news.
Riot have found themselves with the same scrooge mcduck levels of microtransactions money Blizzard got. Where Blizzard rested on their laurels and paid out to shareholders, Riot have invested in their IP and game catalouge.
League of Legends is a simple esport title but they put a lot of effort into free to play microtransations with the character design, lore and costumes. The mobile version just released is extremely polished.
Legends of Runeterra is just better than Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering.
Teamfight Tactics I didn't like because of the UI and the use of futuristic alt costumes which didn't really make it clear which class each unit belonged to.
So I'm excited about their MMO, however Ghostcrawler being invovled is a worry.

I think it's got some interesting protentional going for the idea. Seems like they've made a career out of taking game-types and putting a sort of improvement/original take on it. Moba, TCG, Autochess, FPS, and at some point a fighting game and a/rpg? I quit LoL years ago(top laner overhaul), but iirc they were also doing a story overhaul at some point and Marvel comics got involved to help flesh it out with supposed comics in the works.
I just know there are quite a few factions in the lore, some obviously intertwine with each other and others more than likely unplayable but my guess is they're gonna rip Warhammer Online's original concept before it released. I'm just wondering if they'll keep to the trend of f2p and market the mtx or mix up with some sort of optional sub with perks. They'll be playing ball with MTG, and presumably wow/ffxiv are not dying anytime soon.

All the factions now seem fleshed now out as it's a game mechanic in Legends of Runeterra that your deck can only have cards from two factions.
Don't know if they fit into two larger alliances like in WoW though, they don't seem to. Would be cool if you could get rep with each faction individually, some always being open and some being closed until they like you and some being mutually exclusive.

It's no coincidence that all MMOs with a design focus on PvP have been shit MMOs, and I say this as someone with no interest in PvE-only games.

For the love of fuck, just separate the rule sets between PvP and PvE. They all try to balance around both and end up with a miserable failure of a game.

Well that's just a cop-out. They can't segregate these concepts and still have an MMO with a consistent shared world.

I think he means do it the way EQ did it and have separate servers with different rulesets
