LOL's art staff includes veterans from games such as Psychonauts and Jak & Daxter, and its art director Hokyo Lim served as Sucker Punch's senior artist on the three Sly Cooper titles - a credit that Merrill uses to deflect WoW visual comparisons.

Merrill adds that about a year ago, the team tested the game on an Xbox 360 development kit, but reiterated the current PC focus. 'Our particular game does have a future on those platforms at some point, but we want to stay really focused on PC right now,' says Beck.

'We think that this distills the best elements of MMO PVP into really quick and accessible game sessions.' he continues, describing LOL as a 'session-based, multiplayer, online battle arena game set in a very stylized fantasy universe.'ДЄs to whether LOL might have consoles in its future, the team didn't rule it out. Rather than being World of Warcraft, we want to be WoW Battlegrounds.' 'Rather than being Half-Life, we want to be Counter-Strike. 'We want to create games more like Counter-Strike or basketball, something that's really replayable,' says Riot president Marc Merrill, who visited Gamasutra's offices with CEO Brandon Beck.

Like its spiritual predecessor, LOL (as it will surely become known) blends strategy and roleplaying elements for faster-paced gameplay than in traditional resource-gathering real-time strategy games. Gas Powered Games' Demigod is in the same vein, although the connection is more straightforward with League of Legends: original DOTA designer Steve 'Guinsoo' Feek is driving the design. It's not the first game to advertise its similarities to DOTA. This week, Los Angeles-based Riot Games announced its first title, League of Legends, planned for a PC release next year.
