Twitch streamer Asmongold raves about the new LoL MMORPG – the boss of Riot immediately wants more from him
Twitch streamer Asmongold (World of Warcraft) has commented on the new MMORPG set to play in the world of League of Legends. He thinks it has the potential to be really big. Immediately, Riot Games boss Marc “Tryndamere” Merrill is on his heels and wants more from him.
This is the situation: Twitch streamer Asmongold responded to a video: “The World of Riot’s MMO is Already Done” (via youtube): The video revolves around the new MMORPG that Riot Games wants to set in the world of League of Legends.
In the video, YouTube Necrit introduces the world “Runeterra” that Riot Games has been developing in the MOBA League of Legends for years. The LoL MMORPG is supposed to play in this world.
Necrit explains that his video is sure to be seen by people who don’t know anything about League of Legends but love MMOs and are losing their hair.
Apparently Necrit expected Asmongold to react to the video, who feels easily caught:
Asmongold has high hopes for the LoL MMORPG
What does Asmongold say about the new LoL MMORPG? As Asmongold says, he’s never received so many requests to react to a video as he did when introducing the world to the LoL MMORPG.
Although the game is still in an early stage of development, Asmongold already has high hopes for the MMORPG. As from a video from 13.08. emerges (via youtube), he says about the new game:
Riot has a huge, massive fan base, they obviously have a freakin’ gigantic world… it’s a huge company, they have tons of money to spend.

In addition, Riot has an excellent record, they don’t do Pay2Win and have had great success with games like League of Legends or VALORANT. Everyone hates League of Legends, but play it anyway.
He said (via sportsskeeda):
I hope it’s good. I think that’s one of those situations where everything is there, you have everything you need to be successful.

Asmongold states that the hype for the new LoL game is huge when compared to the WoW expansion:
- Riot Games’ video has received 138 million views in 7 months (via youtube)
- The video for the WoW expansion Dragonflight only 2 million
Riot founder Tryndamere sees his chance
How is Riot Games reacting? The boss and founder of Riot Games, Marc “Tryndamere” Merrill, apparently immediately recognized an opportunity to reach even more MMORPG fans.
He wrote in a candid message on Twitter:
Yo Asmongold – saw your reaction to Necrit’s video about the world of Runeterra and heard you didn’t see ARCANE!?! That makes me sad. Let me know if you watch it – I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.

So prompted by the boss, Asmongold said: Okay! I have to see it now.
This is behind it: You can see Marc “Tryndamere” Merrill using Twitter once again to get what he wants: and right now, he seems to be putting out feelers into the MMORPG community.
Merrill, who himself is immortalized as a hero in LoL, had already used Twitter to spread the rumor that Riot Games was planning an MMORPG in the world of League of Legends.
A few months ago, the Netflix series Arcane helped push the world of League of Legends even further into the mainstream. For Riot Games it was a complete success.
One month after release it is clear: Arcane is one of the best series of all time
