    I’ve seen my fair share of people calling games like Legends of Runeterra dead because of streaming numbers despite being insanely popular. Some games just don’t lend well to streaming, and it’s stupid some people are using it as a metric.

      The negativity is sort of infectious too. I just picked up Runeterra for the first time since last year. Last time I was playing, I was starting to second guess myself about buying the event pass because of all the dead game rhetoric. Why invest any time and money into the game if it turns out their right and the game ends up being shut down?

      Streaming metrics are dumb. I love the game, but just thinking about watching someone stream it puts me to sleep.
