Riot has announced a new autobattler mode for League of Legends, called Teamfight Tactics, and it’s going to be available to all players from 25th June (and on the public beta environment from tomorrow).
This is Riot’s take on Auto Chess, the Dota 2 mod phenomenon – the mod Valve tried to collaborate with on it didn’t work out, so now Valve is making its own.
Teamfight Tactics pits eight players, one-on-one, against each other until only one remains. Battles are turn-based, like chess, and based around the League of Legends champions, and they fight, as you might have guessed, automatically.
