Multiversus so bad it's now killing other games.

Every Smash clone tries to be innovative in the worst ways.

I feel like a well executed game would do well. That's not what multiversus is.

Deciding not to make "meta" trash is a good decision.

Making a smash clone before ultimate dropped was smart. The market was clearly ready for a good platform fighter and Sm4sh was easy to upstage. But now its a lot more questionable. You have to have everything right, gameplay, roster, marketing, and luck to stand a chance.

Maybe a better reason not to have it is because they already have a fighting game

Agreed. I think 2XKO could be big enough and accessible enough to bring in Smash players. Riot probably realized they were cannibalizing their own hit game
