Riot is developing a MMO based on Runeterra. It will be interesting to see how that pans out.

These days I'd be weary of running anything Riot puts out since they got that new kernel anti-cheat.
What's the flipside, you want to play with cheaters?
Yes. Very much. The idea that you should be playing games online with strangers you'll never see again has done terrible things to computer games. The solution to cheaters is to tell them "hey, knock it off", because you know them socially. Or to use the same cheats (call them "mods") while playing with them. Or to be so much better that you win anyway. Any of those is better than what we have now.
Yah, that's just not fun to me. I have seen entire games become not playable due to cheats. I would opt in to a kernel module anytime
It will 100% be like Genshin Impact. Sure you can treat that as an MMO too but don't expect anything like WoW at all
So there's going to be a gacha system trying to extract hundreds of dollars from you?
Well, they have it LoL, so that's to be expected. (the hextech chest stuff)
