riots League of Legends Fighting game, currently codenamed Project L, got his longest performance ever on Monday. A new video showcases the game’s combat mechanics with a particular focus on the tag and assist systems, which are now the focus of the game. The video features a few new moves from champions like Darius, Ekko, Ahri, and Jinx, as well as an update on Illaoi, who’s also coming to the game.
Project L started development as a one-on-one fighting game, says Riot’s Shaun “Unconkable” Rivera in this latest video, but transitioned along the way to a tag team system of two fighters fighting each other in various ways throughout the game can support . While Riot announced this change a while ago, it wasn’t clear until now how much the tag characters would interact with each other.
This video features many examples of interactions, including Jinx laying a trap that slams Ekko forward into enemy Darius, or Ahri knocking enemies up for her ally Darius to knock them down with his axe. The game also features a system that allows players to quickly switch from their current character to their assistant if both are on screen at the same time, as well as a tag team-based combo breaker to get players out of particularly tight jams.
Except that the tag dynamic is the right gameplay direction Project Lthe video also compares it to team fights in League of Legends correct. Teamfights make up a large percentage of a League of Legends‘ fits the biggest moments as different champions from each team combine their skills and attacks for huge combos against enemies.
Unfortunately, while this new latest video is the best we’ve seen of the game so far, Riot still hasn’t said when we can expect it Project L be released – or even given a real name.
