by Nick Breckon, Oct 07, 2008 9:18pm PDTRiot Games today announced League of Legends, a PC game based on the popular Warcraft 3 multiplayer mod Defense of the Ancients.
Riot was co-founded by original DotA Allstars co-creator Guinsoo, and the team reportedly includes other DotA veterans. As such, League of Legends is staying true to the DotA formula, where players level up a single avatar amongst a giant battle of smaller armies. Dozens of Summoners--the player-controlled avatars--are planned to be available at launch.
A semi-persistent element will be see the Summoners leveling up across matches. The game will also include matchmaking, stat tracking, clan support, anti-cheat systems, dedicated in-game ladders and Leaverbuster technology."
League of Legends is planned to hit in early 2009, with a beta period prior to launch. Just in time to compete against Demigod.
Comments
If someone has never played WC3 or WC3 custom maps for that matter (which further refines it), they would have absolutely no idea what DotA means or is.
