@NotTelevision Blizzard actually still supports HOTS. In fact, they just released a new champion. They just chose to ramp down the number of resources and updates they were pumping into the game. The gaming community of course took this as a sign that "it's dying" because if you're not catching up with Fortnite, what's the point, right? I actually really like HOTS and think it's by far the most approachable MOBA available right now.
Tencent is putting out a LOL mobile game anyway. They probably figure it'll be more successful with recognizable characters, so they're letting this one sit as-is in the meantime.
Title comes off kind of cheap because Hearthstone crushes this and most of its competition for good reason.
It's like saying you don't need Super Mario Bros because you have Commander Keen as a platformer. Commander Keen might be great, but it doesn't hold a candle to Mario.
@earthinheritor who's shouting? And haven't you heard that the best things in life are the things you have to work for? It's fine, man. We don't have to agree with each other.
@earthinheritor you mean all those recent releases? Lol, maybe not now but they will be. And yeah, it does cost more, just like your courtside seats at a sporting event. I guess you can hang onto portability, you got me there. If you do most of your gaming on a bus, you've got a compelling argument, but most of us don't.
I think my problem is the fighting genre. They don't pull me in like the good 'ol days. I own Smash, ARMS, and the anniversary edition of Street Fighter.
Interestingly enough, ARMS is the most played out of those 3. But I think I'm over it, and I appreciate where the author is coming from.

Nobody else probably cares, but I'm a little disappointed we didn't get the expansion for Civ VI. Seemed like the right time to mention it, if it was coming.
This series really makes me wish we had MLB The Show on Switch. If they'd get their act together I'd fully support them, but this series has been a textbook example of "mailing it in."
Always wanted to play this, but there's enough competing for my attention that I'll probably never get to it. That and I'll admit that nothing turns me off quite like dated 3D graphics.

Re: Viking RTS Northgard Lands On Switch Later This Year
I've been meaning to pick this up on PC for a while now. Unless the reviews are outstanding for Switch, I'm still meaning to pick up on PC.

Re: Battle Worlds: Kronos Brings 60 Hours Of Turn-Based Strategy Gameplay To Switch
Looks cool, but hard to justify picking this up when I haven't tried Wargroove yet.
Re: Treat Your Ears To Classic Super Mario And Zelda Songs Reworked Into Soothing Electronica
Spotify recommended Mario and Chill to me last week. So good!
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Games
Wait, a phone game was voted #4?
Re: Blizzard Open To More Nintendo Collaborations And Is "Super-Happy" With Diablo On Switch
Hearthstone and Overwatch please. I dont see how an RTS like Starcraft would be any fun on console.
Re: Reminder: Castlevania Anniversary Collection Is Available Now, And Here's The Full List Of Games
Was hoping these games would be added to the Nintendo online service
Re: Review: Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age - This Is How You Handle A Remaster
I'll return to Final Fantasy when it returns to its turn-based roots
Re: Nintendo Reveals The Switch eShop's Best-Selling Games For April 2019 (Europe)
I picked up Skyrim, thinking "I'll just nibble here and there"...and OMG it's consumed me all over again.
Re: Sonic Movie Director Responds To Criticism, Promises Changes Will Be Made To Hedgehog Design
I doubt it'll be a drastic change. I bet he'll still be hairy.
Re: Talking Point: Not Appealing To Gamers First Is A Dangerous Strategy For The Sonic Movie
I'm not going to pay to see this. Maybe if it comes to Netflix I'll give it a go.
Re: Gearbox's Randy Pitchford Would "Love" To See Borderlands On Switch
So let it be written, so let it be done.

Re: Review: Out There: Ω The Alliance - Somebody Turned Mass Effect 2's Best Bit Into A Full Game
It is a great game. Thing is...it already works great on my phone.
Re: Super Rare Games Announces Joe Dever's Lone Wolf Physical Release For Switch
Personally I'd be more excited if the books were being reprinted

I love my Switch, but PC wins.
Re: Octopath Traveler's Switch Exclusivity Might Be Coming To An End
@earthinheritor Can you play Breath of the Wild at 60 fps in 4K on a Nintendo device? Nope, but you can on PC.
Re: Octopath Traveler's Switch Exclusivity Might Be Coming To An End
The PC master race always wins

Re: Ed Boon Reassures Fans Mortal Kombat 11 Will Run At 60fps On Nintendo Switch
Have Smash, ARMS, and SF2. Constantly trying to talk myself out of this game.
Re: Review: Final Fantasy VII - A Timeless RPG Classic That's Beginning To Show Its Age
Dated 3d is the worst
Re: Civilization VI Now Supports Cross-Platform Cloud Saves On Steam And Nintendo Switch
Cool, but where are the expansions?
Re: Video: Hmm, This Nintendo Direct Presentation Sure Is Suspicious
4/1 should be an internet-free day for me
Re: Feature: The 50 Best Nintendo Switch Games So Far
"Bore of the Wild, #1? Ugh. I took it back and got a credit for it, I thought it was a terrible excuse for a Zelda game."
It's ok, to each his own. Some people hate Christmas too.
Re: Feature: The 50 Best Nintendo Switch Games So Far
Where's my Darkest Dungeon?!
And maybe more outrageous, Into the Breach should be on here.
Re: Talking Point: Could We See Mario Kart Tour At Apple's Event Today?
How about some Mario Kart 9, Nintendo?
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Is Releasing Two New Versions Of Switch This Year
I'd be all over Pro in theory, but will wait and see because that's all we can really do at this point anyway.
Re: Feature: The Best 3D Platformers On Nintendo Switch
Mario Odyssey is pretty much it for me when it comes to this list.
Re: Nintendo Reveals The Best-Selling Indie Games On The Switch
Enter the Gungeon absolutely crushed me. Still haven't gotten past even the secomd level. Will have to give it another try at some point.
Re: Feature: The Best Online Multiplayer Games On Nintendo Switch
Uninstalled Fortnite after giving it a longer leash than any other game ever. Buggy mess just isn't worth it.
Doom multiplayer is pretty nonexistent though the single player game is still worth the sticker price.
Re: Shovel Knight Developer Yacht Club Games Is Publishing A New Title
No clue what it is. Still an instabuy.
Re: Video: The Doom Annihilation Movie Looks Absolutely Horrifying
This looks terrible

Re: Epic Doesn't Plan To Improve The Frame Rate In The Switch Version Of Fortnite
First game I've seriously considered deleting from the Switch. I dont think it's for me.
Re: Review: Modern Combat Blackout - Call Of Duty Has Little To Worry About
Gameloft's whole schtick is ripping off popular properties and optimizing the experience for a phone. I wouldn't touch any of their stuff on Switch.
Re: Video: Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster And XII: The Zodiac Age Get New Switch Trailers
Will pick up 12 for sure. I liked 10 a lot, but not enough for a replay. That laughing scene is still etched in my brain forever.
Re: A Trio Of Classic Resident Evil Games Is Coming To Switch This May
Never played this series. Might check 4 out.
Re: Beyond Enemy Lines Looks To Capture The Feel Of Classic Call Of Duty
But I like bells and whistles
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Is Retiring After 15 Notable Years At Nintendo of America
@NEStalgia I hear you, but a lot of assumptions are baked into what you're saying there. I hope that's not the case here.

Re: Vambrace: Cold Soul Brings Roguelike Fantasy To Switch This Summer
Interested to see how this turns out. Definitely sounds intriguing.
Re: Yacht Club Games Has Delayed Shovel Knight: King Of Cards
Worth the wait. Yacht Club Games has more than earned the community's respect and trust.
Re: Review: Tetris 99 - A Revolutionary Take On A Puzzle Classic
17 is my high. But I haven't sniffed it since then.
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th February (Europe)
Those Textis 99 beats...could listen to them all day.
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 13th February
Nobody else probably cares, but I'm a little disappointed we didn't get the expansion for Civ VI. Seemed like the right time to mention it, if it was coming.
Re: R.B.I. Baseball 19 Steps Up To The Plate On Switch Next Month
This series really makes me wish we had MLB The Show on Switch. If they'd get their act together I'd fully support them, but this series has been a textbook example of "mailing it in."
Re: Final Fantasy IX Is Out On Switch Right Now, Final Fantasy VII Launches 26th March
Always wanted to play this, but there's enough competing for my attention that I'll probably never get to it. That and I'll admit that nothing turns me off quite like dated 3D graphics.
Re: Fire Emblem: Three Houses Marches Onto Switch This July
Looks good to me.
