replay system nonsense

every time i see people complain about no replay system i can’t help but think that over half the people “asking”/complaining about it would never even use it and don’t actually give a fuck about it. like it’s the only thing these people talk about but there’s no way that many people care about replay system

I agree, I probably won't use it to look at my own games
but I want it because I want to see how coaches/analysts will use it in VCT, you'll be able to anti-strat specific players much better. I'd also be able to use it to watch pro VODs on how to entry or see which specific line-ups they use.

I would definitely use it a lot. My computer isn't very good to record and this way I'd be able to look at my own gameplay, go back and clip it if I wanted to. Sometimes I hit a crazy shot and want to see what it looks like to be on the receiving end too. I used it all the time in overwatch but maybe it's more justified in overwatch because there's more stuff to pay attention to.

I think alot of people would use it for their personal games. There are many times when you want to see kills you got or how you died and not everyone can record their gameplay

is it not embarrassing though that a 5 year old game still has to make you use obs in the year of 2025 after christ to see your own games? even a less mainstream game like Strinova got us beat on this. literally no negatives would come from having a replay system.

simple answer is it doesnt have a high ROI

it is vastly easier to make a game with a replay system in mind then add one after the fact. bottom line is that now this is a project that requires vast amounts of recourses, money, and time, and has no clear impact to player base retention/expansion.

can you complain that this game wasnt launched with a replay system? sure, but in addition to riot wanting this game to be competitive at its core (not content), its release time was perfect for the gap it targeted in the market and they wouldve missed out big if they delayed release because of another big project.

trust me, if this project truly meant the world to enough active players, riot would have had it done already. it is a very vocal minority who care the most about it, as well as the people that support those few.

there are a lot of people smarter than you and me working at riot that decided there was no rush to get this completed soon, that tells me all i need to know.

i would agree with you if it werent for the fact that replay systems also help and enable better VOD reviewing for teams, be an extremely helpful tool for production to use for broadcast purposes to create a better and more entertaining product and produce even more quality content.

be real with me, this shouldve been done by 2023. theyre being slow because they dont wanna spend money on a bigger team.

i agree, they just dont want to spend the money because its not going to make them money

no players are leaving bc there is no replay system, and very few players will come back to/start playing this game once they announce its implementation

its just a quality of life update at this point, its hard to justify pouring resources into a project that isnt urgent at all

Same people complain about stuff that both and nothing to do with them and they'll never use I get there's positives and it should be implemented but the complaining is overblown for sure
