It’s been over 7 years since the game was announced, and after being cancelled by Riot and bought back by the original devs, against all odds it is FINALLY playable!

The game was supposed to come out in an hour but it seems the devs released it early. I’ll wait and see some early gameplay but it looks like I might buy it on launch day. Feels surreal that the wait is finally over.

      for me, hype = don’t buy it

      I’m typically not a fan of what the masses flock too. it’s usually bland, shallow and meme-esq. the more people that use a thing, the less quality is put into it I find. this goes for anything from travel destinations, to frying pans to games to restaurants.

        They might just not be your type
