>The antpeople are flocking to it as expected. Sheep LoL players adore it as well.

And niggers like you keep feeding it attention :^)

What is autochess?

>>16583028

rng heavy chess that sort of plays automatically

>>16583028

its a custom map for dota 2 that blew up in chinkland

The esports scene only exists because riot and by extension tencent pump money into it. They literally own the esports league that primarily runs it.

>>16582779

> But when the fight starts, players have no influence on how their pieces move and attack

So it's basically glorified rock-paper-scissors? You pick some random unit and hope your opponent picks the unit that loses to it?

That's such a braindead game idea that I can see why MOBA players would flock to it

>>16583276

It's going to have its own seperate ranked elo ladder too. They really, really want LoL to be in the Olympics. They want it to be immortalized. Riot is fucking desperate.

>They really, really want LoL to be in the Olympics.

I hope that happens. This clown world can't get too funny.

It will very likely happen. They've recently been doing VFX updates on several champs to remove gore, blood etc to appeal to the chinks and Olympics operators more.

Blitzcrank's VFX update is a prime example. Before, when he punched someone, there would be lots of blood splatter. Now it's just magic VFX.

The bugmen will own the world soon enough.

The game is a joke. Also, by "unique design" they mean disney design? Because that is what the game is. Disney the MOBA.

>You pick some random unit and hope your opponent picks the unit that loses to it?

If they copy DOTA exactly, you can see the other players' fields, so you can pretend you're smart by saying you counterpicked the other players.

>paying to play an rng game where you have no choice on decision making and the outcome is random.

Who would play this kind of game? Seems build for the timewaster mobile audience.

>chess that plays itself

What? Why? What is the point of playing if it does it all for you?

Wait, isn't Valve also releasing an autochess game, as well as Ebin Games Store? Or is Teamfight Tactics the autochess game shown in the PC gayming show?

"Chess" is actually a misnomer, it is a bit more like poker, but instead of cards you get board pieces. The pieces have typings, similar to suit and number, that you match up to make your pieces stronger. Then you 1v1 someone else's "hand" and whoever loses, loses HP from a health pool. Repeat until everyone does except the winner. There is slightly more strategy involved because you can always see everyone else's "hand" and you can pick the position of your units.

I still find the name "auto-chess" insulting to my intelligence.

>>16587197

Just post some gameplay.

>>16587347

It's a decent enough custom game for Warcraft 3, the bullshit part is that it's getting monetized.

It's all esports anyways.

It's "chess" so that equals olympics straight away. This will take off unfortunately.

>>16582779

That symbol on the top of the logo made me think of Taco Bell.

>>16582779

Isn't this a simplified version of one of these military strategy simulation game where you place your troops on the field and let them fight?

>>16591568

Nevermind, is just some weird chess playing itself.

>>16591586

It really is the evolution of ASSFAGGOTS. Instead of blaming your team for playing the game wrong, now you can blame the game for playing itself wrong.

it's out in three days. hype

>Olympic sport

I can just imagine the hazing that would happen to weak ass esport players by the actual sport players.

10 years ago, I loved firing up the map editor for any streategy game, filling the map with a giant clusterfuck of units and letting them duke it out without my input either.

This is exactly that, only now I have to pay for it. Fuck you.
