SWARM - GAMEPLAY + GUIDE (New PvE Game Mode) 

In a month? Seriously? This mode looks like something made by interns to be completely fair edit: I'm someone with 100% completion in vampire survivors. Instead of throwing out this half-baked skin ad, they could've easily turned it into long-term gamemode, with high player retention. They could even monetize it by simply letting players use skins in it, and make the characters unlockable by exploring maps. I know lol players like to cope, but mark my words, this mode will be disappointing.

hey, that my birthday:Đ

@@gruncik1841 I believe it's uncertain what is gonna happen to it in the long run. I think Riot's philosophy is: if they see good numbers at release - they will do more with it. There are 4 maps in this mode - i'd say it feels better than average mode they used to do - but also staying realistic aswell.

@@Vandiril I really hope you are right. But their recent track record isn't exactly great, so I have a fair share of scepticism towards the mode.

​@@Vandirilis aurora coming togheter with the new gamemode? Or will she release earlier/later than that?

finally some new shit in league!

It doesn't look all that engaging.

@@matiko280 it has avamprie survivor feels, if you can combo like that game, then its a sure dopamine rush.

@@matiko280 😂 I commend you for daring to say that in these fangirls' video

add some meta-progression, a leaderboards, and it will pop off.

or soulstone survivor

almost like its intentional?

more like brotato, vamp survivors has actual maps and things to do on them

@@krystians2016 Vampire Survivors Is most popular, and one of the first in generation.

@@xmorose yea but soulstone survivor is better

Will try my hardest.

it needs to stay in comic sans!

It's been 6 years. Let's see if the event is up to par (because the rewards sure as fk won't be xd)

not even close to that event, this is a copy paste xD

@@BastianXify no bro, Odyssey was way better lol

@@LangravioShosh yeah odyssey was fuking insane i doubt we will get any decent free stuff in the event in odyssey u got ziggs free if u beat it all i got it i bet they will give u just a BANNER HAHAHAH

@@LangravioShosh yeah, infinite better. in the simple fact that event have runes, is making more complex and fun.

I mean they're tryina cook for mmorpg

@@mardakfernfern1986 mmorpg was reseted and all team left no mmo for 10 years at least

It's WASD because you wouldn't be able to right click to move with all those enemies on the map

​@@maskogrevgc2934you just gonna say that without any sources? Lol

@@mrmangbro6842 MarcMerrill posted it on Twitter in march. Not really that the whole dev team left but that they scrapped the porject and are starting it over again and they said it will take several years for them to even talk about the MMO again. So I expect it to take a long time before something will happen regarding the MMO.

i have doubts about potential updates, for this period, the mode is planned for only 1 month. Maybe, if they bring it out for other events such as Halloween/Christmas?

Just another vampire survivor-like. Most of the mobile ones are trash though.

​@@freshlymemed5680magic survival on mobile is pretty good

It's no different than how any other of those bullet-hell survivor games works. There's really no other way to do it and still ensure that you're actually getting upgrades.

@@Dyanosis yeah but the league brain can't comprehend the change in pacing: normal league requires you to be active all the time, no tab/menu pops up in the center of the screen *unless* prompted by the player. Meanwhile this mechanic looks and feels intrusive, even tho it's common for this genre.

​@@melibaws2328 so is that the fault of the developers or the playerbase? im genuinely convinced league players are the whiniest, most entitled players I've seen. i agree with some of the complaints at riot and league in the past few months, but holy shit i despise the constant negativity. im convinced some of these people don't even enjoy league. what's the point of playing a game if ur not enjoying it

If you don't know your audience, then it's your fault. You are selling this to league players, you have to take into consideration the type of players they are ​@@controlcon

@@controlcon Agreed, we are incredibly miserable and will do our utmost best to spread the misery to everything and everyone we interact with.

because tft was also a clone

I quit about 4 months ago, everything I see just reinforces my feelings towards it. League just feels like it's on a downward spiral. SG/Odyssey was so great, this honestly kind of looks like trash.

maybe they change how you control the character, preparation for LOL 2 (after source code is leaked and the hacker is now able to DDOS pro players)

Basically Riot Sirhaian created this in his free-time. At first Riot didn't want to invest into it, but eventually they got convinced and followed it up. But it all started from Sirhaian - who is just a fan of Vampire Survivors - so that's the explanation pretty much. There is a dedicated team to game modes now - so if this type of mode does well - we can probably expect other game modes in the future (copium).

@@Vandiril I'm really hoping for Odyssey/SG back some day cuz those were my most fond memories of League and playing it with friends. Though this will suffice and at least partly fill that hole. But I really hope they won't give up on PvE development.

Odyssey was one of a kind, sucks that this is basically a watered-down version but we'll take what we can get

It was literally known that it's gonna be Vampire Survivors since the first leaked pic

yeah I don't know, I was ok with it being vampire survivors-esque, but I also didn't expect it to be WASD control, among other things..

@@BeeTheCynic yea I know. I still hate it, allways have since the first leak

Just remember, if this flops then that means no more gamemodes at all, so don't come crying and asking for more when you didn't support riot trying

The server costs that this causes them is quaranteed to make it not permanent. Month tops

Thats literally all they had to do and what everyone expected. Instead we get this that looks like a small company made a smartphone app that tries to copy LoL.

Just play it releases lmao whats wrong with it, its better than nothing tbh. Who knows you might enjoy it.

Blud doesn't know about vampire survivor lol

@@39adept this shows league players doesnt play any other games at this point

Yea and arena could have been just summoners rift too right? Let them try things out. If it doesn't work out, they'll learn and try again.

Me who used wasd for camera control my entire life: "It's like I was made for this"

the movement on these keys is horrible, there should be a mouse option

SHUT THE K UP YOU TURBO RANDOM SILVER BRD RESTARTED ATST1C​ P4441G N....ə... @@adrstypl295

If you love this style of game try vampire survivors bcs its the game riot copied 1:1

you got to be kidding

Welcome to roguelikes with multiplayer. If u played vampire survivors with local coop or remote play it is basically the same. It might get tiring to wait, but u wont be irritated as much as you imagine.

25th of this month for pbe, 17th July for live servers

bro at least play it before you judge it 🤣 If it’s shit I’ll flame riot with you, but w/vampire survivor games it’s kinda hard to tell until you play it

At least play before shitting on the game mode...

Wow not odesy=bad LoL community in nutshell

This hype will fall off two games in, don't get your hopes up

@@skipmanghondarg You'd probably be super fun at parties if you were ever invited to one. Remember that you can play this game solo, we wouldn't want you to spread that energy in random public lobbies

@@JJBeauregard1 Bro, we're talking about League. What parties are you on about?

@@JJBeauregard1 Okay, my apologies for a little negativity, but let me clarify my statement. Trying to make VS-gamemode engageable in junky League will be pretty hard, it will start getting old REALLY FAST. Most likely the second game you're in, you'll see the upgrade window pop out every 6 seconds and that sounds pretty tedious to me. I'm also sceptical that they'll try to monetize it somehow and ruin it just like Path of the Champions gamemode in LoR. (they've turned it from a fun roguelike to a grind-fiesta with earnable mode-specific lootboxes and glorified currency) Even tho i'm a big fan of PvE, i've been disappointed in Riot so many times now that i doubt they'll actually pull it off. I'm still interested to play this mode even tho it doesn't seem like it, i just don't see how that would be fun for more that ~2 hours... But at the same time, maybe that will push me to finally buy Vampire Survivors and have an original feeling for this genre. P.S: "what parties are you on about?" - most League players don't go to parties (or even socialize), i'm still confused why did you even type that...

@@JJBeauregard1 I had a bad night sleep thinking over your comment, i hope that you're happy now

Whaaaat you don't want yas, jinx, riv in yet ANOTHER game mode/skin? Crazy

WOMP WOMP

L

then don't play this game mode? LOL easily solved not like you're missing out

@@mew1534 That's not how it works but go off I guess.

its vampire survivors

cuz he picked lame augments

Bcs you have this "mode" everywhere, i hate this type "game" its boring.

@@slayer-asp-6670 And it’s only 4 players not 5 lol

PVPs ethusiast trying to feel the joy of PVE Enjoyers:

Push the gamemode, and they can expand on it. It just depends on the playrates. Now that they have a dedicated gamemodes team, they can work on stuff like this, but if it's not successful, they'll just try a different project.

league in wasd would have been so bad for many reasons

Obvious VS gameplay, but it does feel like mini, goofier, bullet hell Starcraft.

What do you mean riot is not known for their graphical abilities, I swear to God league players would rather complain at stuff they have 0 idea about than inform themselves of the matter.

Every character requires unique augments so they have to be limited in character amount

@@udorino i was hoping it would be more like VS where character only gives passive differences and all other stuff would be global, so who you play as wouldnt matter too much. i just wanted to be able to pick my fav, grab some auto firing weapons and watch enemies go boom :(

it is basically done for release. if it is going live on PBE there will be only bugfixes and nothing more. I expected more from riot, having some great games in this space like Vampire survivors, Nordinc Ashes, brotato etc this looks BASIC and low quality even for "mode"

Not really, breathing, u really need it xd

Your teammates need to choose faster haha

Ya but they didn't say it was LITERALLY vampire survivors lmao. U don't even click around to move or anything. This game is literally 1 for 1 "just put vampire survivors into the game" like. I don't know if this game has anything that any other auto-battler type game doesn't have. Id much rather play brotato or 20 mins till dawn.

@@nobodywashere3123 What would clicking to move change exactly ? X). Also it's not literally VS or then half of survivors games is literally VS too, I haven't seen abilities evolving through substats in VS other than some weapons merging with accessories, not saying they couldn't come up with more original gameplay but I think there's nothing more to expect from the company that made DOTA with another skin ?

probably not but you could map the inputs to a controller. left stick for movement, right stick for the mouse, and face buttons for the abilities

@@drjamaymay405 I guess yes, there is DS for Windows.

implementing controller support just for this game mode is probably not worth it

@@awagnow Fully agree, but it would have been nice.

I assume theyve just assigned a very small portion of their devs to this, not knowing how well it will perform. This is also the beta and a lot of stuff is placeholder so I expect it to look a better on release. Ill probably play it 1-2 times then never touch it lol

it was made by 1 guy

U Will be glad it looks like shitt bcs if it looked better frames would drop like jfk

C, vandiril isn't the best at commentary?

Game is indeed basic The entire genre is boring like this

that's the issue

that's the issue and now looks like shit

@@watered3235 people are complaining that they don't like the pve game mode do you espect riot games to be like oh we didn't do any pve game mode for the past 7 years bc we knew it doesn't work to receive well the comments saying that no one likes this game mode ? this game mode is litteraly better than any past pve gamemode and was made by a single vfx artist

The problem is that this isn't what people were asking for; the old PvE players didn't want this. But if they don't play it, Riot will use that as an excuse to say "People didn't really want PvE back anyway", and if they do play it, Riot will just keep doing more "Bullet Heaven" modes, so it's a Lose Lose situation for anyone who liked the old PvE stuff.

Its free and its gameMODE play it or leave it

surprise surprise, it won't

@homudark why you happy it is not permanent? that you dont like something means nobody else should be able to enjoy it?

@homudark ik it would have been so easy for them to make an actuall good bullet survivor mode instead they do the complete opposite and make this themed gabrage

Because it's not odesy or sg duh Man lol players are so annoying​@@IceedPro

@@ticky5716 The irony.

i think its kind of good tho
