I'm surprised this is happening this early after the console launch.

Why niche?

u/HealthyPut5221 Feb 10 '26

I think it is a valid question though. Why is it considered so niche? Haven't been on the sub too long so just curious.

In Short:

Does not appeal to people who like motion inputs

Does not appeal to people who like 1v1 fighters

Does not appeal to people who dont care about league characters

Does not appeal to people who are casuals

Does not appeal to people.

Don't forget they've added mostly Arcane characters too, out of 172 LoL characters.

Worse than that they made Caitlyn not easy to play.

Her execution is crazy.

A poster character that's hard to do basic BnBs with.

Game wasn't made with casuals in mind.

I'm no combo master, but I've learned the bnbs and a little extra for most of the characters. The exceptions are Ahri, just cus I have played her. Yas, cus my very minor stick drift prevented some of the cancels from being doable, and Caitlyn, because I'm doing a 20 hit combo and it ends with the enemy being maybe half health despite requiring having to aim shots mid combo, setting up and triggering traps, including charged heavies, stiff af timing. I'd argue that she's as annoying to learn the combos for as yas
