Riot just can't stop themselves from firing more developers. This time it's half the dev team from 2XKO, their fighting game that released just 3 weeks ago (20th of January). Looking at the reactions online I've seen so many "Wait Riot Games released this game?" or "2XKO is the most unmarketable name"... and honestly I tend to agree. Even calling it "League Fighter" would be silly, but way better to catch on. Oh well- I mean 80 people remaining on the team should still be enough to live-service the game into hopefully a more sustainable game.
Their release of Valorant shows they can handle more than 1 major game... Just got to pick the right genre if you intend on being a mainstream success.
