This has the potential to be as good and addicting as Path of Champions in Legends of Runeterra. If they wanted, they definitely could make it a permanent game mode and monetize it in a non-predatory way (like getting cool permanent upgrades faster), because of how casual this is. Roguelikes can be like gold mines if they know how to invest in them.
@@dieptrieu6564 yep, normally they need to be bought to play, but League is free, so there must be a way to monetize it, even if it's just cosmetics, because the game can be played with many people. I'm saying this because monetization is the key to get more content. More content means more videos about it, more videos means more players and more players means more money to make more content and the cycle continues
@@angelicoz That's the problem. Cosmetic doesn't make sense for this game mode because it still use the same cosmetic as normal league. Unlike TFT where you can have entirely separate cosmetic from normal lol
I love it! I think a good change would be that some colors of abilities or whatever need a change. Noticed a few times in this video that your allies red circles were masking the red danger circles.
First survivor game like this I played was a custom map in Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne called SWAT. You also choose characters with different abilities, go around the map to complete objectives and survive from the horde of zombies.
Oh btw Zwag, I've played this a lil already so here is smth you didn't mention in video 1. Yk how you can hold tab and see what you need to upgrade what from the top left? you can also just hover over the items in your hot bar and they'll say what they need to evolve 2. You can only evolve items from boss dropped cards 3. You don't need to max out passive to evolve the item, you need to get level 5 on the item and then kill a mini boss. 4. Also belveth trails on the map give a lot of xp when finished.
yeah it seems to be the way since you want to get evolved weapons as early as possible, and its much easier to get them here than vampire survivors since weapons have less levels and you dont need to wait for min 8ish to start rolling evolutions
nah exp sucks in this game, you have limited passive slots, so if you take 5 levels into exp you miss out on 5 levels into dmg or /w you wanne skip. and without exp you can get full build before the boss anyway. 2nd issue is that you dont always roll 5 times exp earlygame and you get forced random upgrades from what you already purchased from time to time, so it could be that when you're already lategame you are forced to take 10% bonus exp while you want more stats. maybe when you unlock 6th passive can be worth? but surely not at 4 slots
What about getting max gold first? It gives a goal to grind for without having to really think about it. I liked it cause I had a lot of free time when I started playing
Just be careful because there is a bug where the game freezes completely at around the 13 minute mark on the third map and if you try to reconnect youll be stuck with a black window, been sitting in client for 30 minutes staring at a reconnect button
Hm, how strange, i also got disconnected on the 3rd map at about 13 minutes, lost ALL the gold as getting disconnected doesn't give you the gold you had when you got disconnected. Tho, my game didn't freeze and i never got a black window, just had to leave the game, rejoin and just make a new party(just to realise i still had ~300 gold and i wasted 13 minutes for nothing), i guess your case is worse.
I thought I'd be bad cause I don't play league, but apparently, over 60 hours in vampire survivors does actually help. Also, he used the fountain at the start, right? Thinking it randomly heals you. Luckily, his team didn't die right after that. Also the more important part of tab screen isn't to find out what passive is good for a specific weapon, it's the other way around cause you can hover over your weapon to see what evolves it
It have enjoyed my time with it so far. It is funny that once I believe the first level on story difficulty I clean swept through the rest of easy diffculty levels solo. The only champ that I find hard solo is Jinx since she has no shields, sustain or consistent early AoE damage. The craxyiest run I jad was with Briar since I high rolled perfect weapon and augkent combos
I see these new game modes as ways for Riot to test certain things they want to try out in to future MMO. I'm sure we'll recognize little mechanics and such in the future.
I'm having trouble signing up for the pbe. I went to the riot web page and went to League of Legends. Then clicked the PBE tab at the top. It says to sign up for a pbe account. I click it. It then asks me to sign up or sign in. So I sign in. The It beings me back to the pbe page with nothing telling me it worked or not. Went to the launcher and it still says my account isn't pbe so idk. I'm new to pc gaming tbh but lord this is so much hassle. Modding games was simpler.
if you play solo seraphine is the best because of the AOE base weapon and shield, but jinx is best for dpsing the bosses and on acoordianted team that can protect her, also jinx still have good AOE but is better to burst someone down also if you want to evolve a weapon you need the weapon upgraded to lvl 5 and get the passive (upgrading the passive not necessary) for evolving it and the cards form defeating bosses, so its better (especially on solo) to save the boss card till you have the weapon lvld up and the passive
I’m confused, it seems like swag is playing with real people yet every time he gets an upgrade the game pauses for him to choose what he wants, but he didn’t have to wait for other people to choose their upgrades
Ok, ik that most people whove immediately gone to the comments to find others takes, please remember you have to install vanguard, which even if it wasnt coded by riot, is a kernel level system. As someone who has an obsession with these games and have issues not playing them, id rather it not be on the league launcher and have it be seperate game entirely with how this is structured. It looks leage cause of the assets, but its straight up a different game and its weird to have it on the same launcher at the absolute least
Surprised this got a video on the main channel. Hope it does decent but have a feeling it’ll be like the wild rift gameplay which I enjoyed but did terrible.

We got PVE League before PVE Overwatch, and we didn't even have to get League of Legends 2 for it
Yeah like another game ***cough*** Overwatch 2 ***cough*** 😅
Ngl we need league of legends 2 more than ow needs ow2
I was literally thinking this LOL
Except Overwatch also had some temporary PvE event. No different than LoL's Odyssey and now this.
But PvE in the League has been around for a long time already in 2018 odyssey game mode, if we exclude the AI of Itro bots😁
So uh…anything to count here boys?
oh no kyle is out of minions to count

True. Roguelike games like these are so good because it can be so braindead to play casually but can also offer so much paywally things
These games are usually buy to play, tho. It's very hard to monetize them without affecting the gameplay

There was a mode like this in wild rift but you play as Kalista before the ruin, killing the guards of viego
It may be avaible yet
It was so clunky and slow though
I loved that one, going ap on the melee kallista mode went insane
It was fun but it was singleplayer only, next step for wild rift devs is to make it co-op (Like this one or maybe oddysey game mode?)
But the lol version is better cuz it has co-op, and its better developed. But that wr minigame was fun, hope it comes back.
I love it! I think a good change would be that some colors of abilities or whatever need a change. Noticed a few times in this video that your allies red circles were masking the red danger circles.

One things to note for your runs as Zwag is seems to be "New" to the Genre:
1. You only need Passive level 1 to "Evolve" your weapon at level 5.
That's not new at all, that's how Vampire Survivors and many other ones always worked.
@@tonysmith9905 i know.
@@tonysmith9905 He was giving a tip to Zwag because he is NEW to the game genre.
I wish the summary screen showed your damage per skill/weapon as well.

Finally pve content again from rito after 7/8 years of asking
Never thought id hear zwag mention vampire survivors
Good old bit rate problems: it's a problem when recording vampire survivors as well.
Briar is INSANELY good, destroyed all the bosses with her solo, the damage is huge. (And so is her heal)
This is pretty chill! I would totally watch some more
It's like Warcraft Tower Defense, old game, but funny)
I wanna more this new game mode games
I wouldn't mind seeing more!!!! As always your vids are awesome brotha!!!!
I see these new game modes as ways for Riot to test certain things they want to try out in to future MMO. I'm sure we'll recognize little mechanics and such in the future.
this game mode is so much fun, i hope they will keep it like TFT or Aram
It pauses the whole game when u select an upgrade? Does everyone upgrade at the same time?
yes
Do you share the same level with the teammates? So only one has to pick up the xp orbs?
Riot will literally do anything besides give us back what we want most. Dominion and Twisted Treeline
Make urf permanent
I would love to see the rest of the levels and the other champs!
i've been in my vampire survivors phase again so this game mode is coming at the perf time ☺
I’d love to see more of this!!!

How am I supposed to count missed cannons and how does Kyle even do his job for this
Ah yes, League-themed Vampire Survivors. Genius.
With TAB You can see each Ability with what scale and what Augumets you should take on the given champ
if you play solo seraphine is the best because of the AOE base weapon and shield, but jinx is best for dpsing the bosses and on acoordianted team that can protect her, also jinx still have good AOE but is better to burst someone down

I played like 6 games and still can't do co-op, is it only playable with other people if you only have a premade with friends?
would love to see you trying diferent builds with diferent characters
Best to upgrade your Gold first so you get more Gold upon picking it up off the floor when in game.
More Gold = You can buy more stuff!
will this replace arena or will we have the 2 mods at once ?
"it's kind of like Vampire Survivors:"
Yeah, it's called a GENRE for a reason. Survivors-Like.
I made a pbe account but it says its not available in my region so am i just screwed or is it bugged
Nicely, i want more!🎉
Thanks for the great vid Zwag!
It's so funny to watch how lol players and vampire survivors players play this game. It's a totally different approach, and both are valid :D
A damn like for the sneak peek into the new game mode.
I’m confused, it seems like swag is playing with real people yet every time he gets an upgrade the game pauses for him to choose what he wants, but he didn’t have to wait for other people to choose their upgrades
XP is shared so everyone upgrades at the same time. Watch 15:20 he waited extra 3 seconds for his teammates to get their upgrades.
When will we see the mode on normal league?
does anyone know when this game mode come to online servers?
I can already see my pc exploding trying to run this mode lmao
You should upload some 144FPS videos, I think TH-cam allows that :')

how do i play this, please help, im ingame but cant see the gamemode anywhere
The longer I watch this video, the more I see that is EXACTLY like Survivor IO. Just the LoL version
UwU Blaster? This game mode is gonna be one of my favourites for a long time
Time.. to install.. League of Legends? ... agh.. that physicly hurt.
I hope this is a permanent thing not a temp event. This might actually get me to play league again
So I'llI take a break from playing Holocure to play Holocure in League.
I’m so confused , I’m looking at the interface, where is this game mode ???
I dont really have any friend on the PBE account and it doesnt seem to pair me with any other players. Is that how its meant to be?
When does the gamemode come out ?
We need more videos on this
I can't wait to play this with 2 fps at max
I would love to see more of this
Like a trillion particle effects going off at the same time and it's still a crispy 144 fps.. why can't league run like this lmao
Is this game mode out on the live servers or just PBE?
Pbe only
Cool mode. Tryed it but with 180ping😅😅😅
And all my friends left league😢
I bet there's still someone who will blame others if they failed to complete the stage😂
i can't wait for this to be release and we get more champs to play
Did they give Yasuo a harem? 🤣
Edit: I just played Briar. Either I was really fortunate on my upgrades or she’s extremely strong!
She’s very strong
Man i wish this was permanent, soooo good and addicting, love it
There's a kalista ver in wildrift, they have melee kalista
this will still never beat the star guardian pve from forever ago
is it out or in the pbe only?
Pbe
Love the swarm content
when does the game mode launch?

So IS PBE like an add on to og league or its different?
different server
Ey, they bringing back old PVE modes. Hoping they bring back the Star guardian events.
Not going for the exp boosts hurt. More exp = faster upgrades
Damn, this looks cool. It's a shame vanguard made me uninstall lol bc it is unplayable for me.
Second skin of the day: Battle Dove Seraphine.
is this on ptr?
any links.. so annoying that youtubers dont put a link down
