After years of teasing, Riot Games finally delivers its 2v2 tag-team fighting game built on the League of Legends universe. The result is solid, without being the seismic event the competitive scene expected.
A tag-team system that’s accessible without being shallow
Exchanges between your point and assist characters stay readable for newcomers while leaving room for advanced combo routes for experienced players. The rollback netcode holds up, a non-negotiable requirement for the esports ambitions on the table.
A roster that still lacks personality
The champions borrowed from League of Legends translate well to a fighting game, but the overall feeling is that of a solid live-service launch rather than a fighting game that immediately stands out against already-established competition.
Verdict
An honest debut for Riot in fighting games, but one that still needs to find its own identity.
