Project L: Riot's League of Legends Fighting Game Resurfaces With New Gameplay - IGN

Riot Games promised another update for its League of Legends fighter, Project L, this year — and it's shaping up just in time to make that deadline with a new look at its gameplay systems.

In previous Project L updates, Riot detailed its "easy-to-learn but hard-to-mastery mentality." Rivera kicked off his design philosophy breakdown with those same principles, outlining how the pillars of their gameplay systems will guide that core idea through movement, offense, defense, tag-teaming, and assist actions.

To cap off the year, let’s take a closer look at Project L’s core gameplay: We believe in systems that are deep and flexible, including dynamic movement, impactful buttons, and a whole lot of tag.

Rivera outlined a few elements that guide Project L's take on the team fight with the tentatively named Assist Actions, Handshake Tag, and Dynamic Save.

It's been three years since Riot first announced its League of Legends fighter, and while updates have been a little thin, the developer has slowly ramped up that effort.
