Riot MMO Abilities

Are you wondering what the Riot MMO abilities will be? We’ve created 20 Riot MMO abilities based on cards from Legends of Runeterra. Also, many of the mechanics are inspired from other role playing games.

Between traditional MMORPG combat and the lore of Runeterra, we could see these Riot MMO abilities being somewhat reasonable attempts at what abilities will make it to the game.

For now, we’ve included 20 possible abilities. Come back soon because we will add more LoL MMO abilities.

List of Possible Riot MMO Abilities

Physical

Shatter

Thrash your heavy weapon at the target dealing moderate physical damage.

If the target is frozen, deal bonus damage.

Quickly strike your target’s weapon dealing minor physical damage.

If the target is frozen, disarm their weapon for a short duration.

Berserk

Traps

Upon detonation, the target suffers poison damage over time and movement speed is reduced.

Healing will definitely be a Riot MMO ability

While nearby concealing environments such as shrubs, brush, forest, fog, sandstorm, and ice storm, gain the ability to camouflage.

Upon camouflaging, your visibility and movement speed is reduced. Camouflage end when cancelled or when environment conditions are no longer met.
