There is a community forming right now that aims to write a MOBA from scratch, mostly fueled due to the Vanguard incident on Linux. I am not affiliated with the project, but wanted to raise attention to it (as I am currently on cold League turkey since a month).

Lmao at first i haven't figured out OP name

I wonder if marketing this as "replacement to League" is the best move or if it should market itself as simply a new MOBA

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

At this point, LoL has become synonymous to MOBA.

A bit like Kleenex has become synonymous to tissues.

As long as they don't tow the line with copyrighted LoL material, they should be good to go.

I think if they can do it without incurring copyright lawsuits, then yeah it's probably a good marketing move.

Let's return to roots. Warcraft 3 mod maps.

You misspelled "StarCraft 1" so bad.

I'm not any good at the game, but if you need a toxic asshole to help test it, lmk

Sounds like you have all the qualifications, welcome aboard!

@Linus_Torvalds In the meantime you still have #DOTA2 (I'm neither a #dota nor a #LeagueOfLegends player but I know people who worked on the LeagueOfLinux project)

[-] [email protected] 16 points 4 weeks ago

I am aware of that possibility, but a truly FOSS MOBA would be amazing. Custom balancing on different servers, different queues, etc.

@Linus_Torvalds True, true, I'll definitely try to play it if it ever reaches the level of @play0ad or mindustry.

Please copy dota instead of league... Dota actually has a coherent design philosophy and creative devs who know how to balance a game, league is just designed around what monetizes the community most effectively.

I see LoL user as MOBA here more than LoL ve DOTA.

If it ever comes to fruition, the neat thing is that people will be able to code in whatever they want.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 4 weeks ago

Lmao. Get rekt league.
