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?

      Several years ago, HotS went into “Maintenance Mode” which means it isn’t receiving further updates although the servers are still up for now.

      Which is such a shame. I’m not big on MOBAs but that was my favorite

      Another vote for HotS, it’s the only MOBA that has ever truly clicked for me (and I am not even particularly into the rest of the Blizzard stuff).

      I’d say it’s definitely worth a look despite the “maintenance mode”. There is an active player base, the game is well balanced and it still receives occasional tweaks. At the end of the day the only thing that matters is if you are enjoying yourself or not.
