I hope this post is still allowed as League of Legends is like 15 years old.
As I’ve been posting on !leagueoflegends@lemm.ee , the game seems getting quite enshittified lately, making especially difficult for new players to join.
As a potential consequence, the game got quite difficult lately. Before, you could still win a game as a casual player. Nowadays I feel like casual players left and there’s only “serious gamers” around, especially in 5v5 normal games.
Anyway, all of that to say that Marvel Rivals has been on my radar as a replacement. Not the biggest fan of hero shooters, but gameplay seems fun and engaging. Is anyone here playing it?
100% not judging anyone who prefers mobas or MMOs. I just feel that as a patient gamer (with a huge backlog) I can’t no more try or play another one.
The time sink alone and psychological methods like daily missions/battlepasses/FOMOs they use to make me get hooked just now days make me want to skip all of those kind of games even when I’m really into the game/idea.
I can experience 10 single player games (that I already have) instead of one GaaS game. I’m happier this way.
I haven’t played LoL in a while, and now it’s just a way to spend an evening playing with friends we all know and can play.
Did a BG3 run with 2 friends last year, that was nice too, but definitely a different experience.
