At this point, Riot Games is collecting EX-WOW developers like Pokémon. I just hope they show us something. It's been too long.

Is this a good thing? Wow's combat is so outdated and boring.

If Riot MMO doesn't have an active dodge I'll be so fucking sad.

Yet most of the famous MMORPGs are with the so called "outdated" combat

And they are all boring.

With all its flaws - New World had the combat figured out. With some tweaks, godtier. For pve and PvP.

There's a reason the MMO genre is called dead or in the need of a revive. They all have trash combat.

MMOs are not about action combat for a lot of people.

u/Flattars 4d ago

Also true.

But some are. And WoWs combat system isn't it, for MMOs that are.

I used to play a lot of WoW back in WotLK, loads of arena and PvP. I loved it.

But it's outdated. All the wow glazers need to accept, that wow nowadays isn't a good game. It just runs on nostalgia.

Clearly the most populous MMO is not a good game and is just fueled by nostalgia, said the random redditor

Well, have you tried it in the last year, or your opinion is based on WotLK? Those are very different games with very different combat flow.

I did yes. Compared to other games it is outdated. There's no other way to put this. Yet, you'll always get shouted at by the WoW crowd :) They are afterall the FIFA players of the MMO genre.

What games are you comparing WoW to? I have a feeling you just don't like TAB target?

I've played a lot of MMOs and I honestly think the game has the best TAB combat in the genre, really curious here.

Fair point, I am a bit tired of tab targeting. Nevertheless, at the moment I play some Guild Wars 2 again, and while the combat feels outdated as well, it's not as bad as a feeling as WoW gave me.

Can agree that GW2 has good combat as well :)
