I play the games. I write the books. I read the manga. I watch the anime. I like the ships. I stream on the twitch once in a blue moon. I like the green color.
Get a glimpse into the machinations of my mind with the various ships I like from a variety of fandoms!
This will be a thread of threads based on fandom for all of my *favorite* ships.
If you share a ship with me, lets interact about them!
@BongOfHolding@ttwisted35 I do understand their thought process behind the decisions they made. But the issue is they were targeting the wrong people. Arcane wasn’t going to turnover into new players, it didn’t for LoL. It’s also not targeting the group of LoL players who player fighter champs either.
@kaszankamaxxing@alto_joshua@GoldLeopardess Not sure which Hoyo game you are referring to in particular, but that fact that Raiden hasn't appeared in any story content in over a year is absurd. And then there's the whole can of worms that is HSR Planarcadia.
@AJ_psykos2 I like how the anime altered the scene of Saku giving Subaru donuts from the manga. The subtle changes they made to it made it far more intimate.
@stuxnet_vt@LudwigAhgren … were pulling strongly for the game to succeed, but literally everyone externally told y’all that the roster decisions were horrible. So was it spite for the community, ignorance, or a higher up forcing the matter despite the dev team’s wishes?
@stuxnet_vt@LudwigAhgren Who was responsible for the roster decisions and size?
Because how do champs like Riven, Jax, and Sett neither make the opening roster or any of the expansions that followed?
+ It’s a tag fighter and it started with… 9 champs.
It just feels like self sabotage.
You say people…
I’m sure others can think of more examples, but as someone deep in the thick of it with League of Legends lore, Arcane did permanent damage that it’ll never recover from.
I think it’s time for that conversation…
As enjoyable and well made as Arcane was, it ruined League as an IP for actual League fans:
•Lore? Sorry Arcane replaces canon now
•2XKO? Let’s pander to Arcane fans instead of fighting game fans
•Viktor mains? *insert IShowSpeed gif*
With a heavy heart, the @Play2XKO team shares an update about the future.
- Active development will end in December.
- The final content patch goes live in October.
- Servers stay online.
- In-game purchases made before August 20 will be refunded.

@riotgames@Play2XKO No Aatrox, Alistar, Ambessa, Garen, Gnar, Gragas, Jarvan, Jax, K’Sante, Katarina, Lee Sin, Leona, Pantheon, RIVEN, Sett, Sylas, and I can keep going…
But sure we needed 6 Piltover/Zaun characters cause of the great overlap between Arcane watchers and fighting game players.
