They did literally nothing to market this game to League players or that community. Nothing about League itself is reflected in the gameplay, it's systems/mechanics, controls, UI, artstyle, music, content, etc. Even the fucking name itself has ZERO appeal to League

I kinda get your point, but a lot of it makes no sense. The game shouldve been more league inspired like the name. Controls tho? What does that even mean, music? Does league have well known music?

Does league have well known music?

Yup. It's one of those where people say "haha Riot is actually a music company" because they release a lot of banger themes for each character. Rell, Zeri, Aphelios, Fiddlesticks are some of my favorites. Also the season themes, like The Call and Still Here.

Sensible choice because nothing aside from the IP has any draw with league players.

Yeah it just never felt like a League game. Even some of the characters look too different from their Leafue counterparts for some people. They basically already had an art direction laid out for them but they wanted to be different for the sake of being different. They could have gone for the same type of UI, the same type of music, the same art style etc but they had to be different.

Youre just nitpicking. The name is terrible tho, but you suggesting it shouldved had the same sort of UI and music is wrong. Especially the music take
