Riot is trying to become Blizzard. Right down to the Chinese pandering, mobile trash, and knock offs spanning several genres from auto chess, fightan games, FPS, and digital card games. Dear god may this trash company fucking die.
Riot is OWNED by Tencent. They aren't just pandering to the Chinese, they are a Chinese company. What could you possibly expect?
Yeah yeah. The move to have games that compete directly with Blizzard's established properties is kinda odd though. Maybe they are trying to phase Blizzard out so there's absolutely no back lash from the West? Idk. It just seems really fucking stupid to copy Blizzard by genre and presentation suddenly.

How is that odd? You're Pepsi. Coca Cola just had a massive PR blunder. Wouldn't you take the chance to press the market right then? It's the perfect timing.

I don't think it's sudden at all. EA, Ubi and all the other big ones have always tried to wrangle players from the Activision-Blizzard games away and have really just been waiting for a sign of weakness.
