Riot Games has announced a new “auto-battler” strategy game mode that is to be added to League of Legends, and is inspired by the popular Dota 2 third-party modification that has since become a standalone mobile release.
‘Teamfight Tactics’, inspired by Dota Auto Chess, will be a brand new mode for League of Legends and is a strategy game taking place on a hex grid and challenging players to build the most powerful team that they can.
“We’ve always loved strategy games, and recently we’ve gotten into the new auto-battler genre—folks around the office have been playing an insane amount of Dota Auto Chess in particular,” Riot Games said in an official post. “We love it, and it actually got us inspired to create something new as a mode in League.”
