I don't get it!

Every forum I read there's a hugeeeee discussion around Lol while other (arguably better) dota games get no attention. Lol isn't that good! Why are people so obsessed with it. Oh wait... grindy awards & customization.

LoL is just way more accessible compared to the other DOTA games.
-UI is better
-Mechanics are simplified (No denying, No Multiple shops)
-Decent matchmaking

There's more..

-More actionpacked from the get go
-emphasis and balanced around team fights rather than 1 fed imba hero destroying everyone

While Dota and Hon has a steeper skill curve it doesn't make LoL a lesser game, actually I think its a more well designed game than dota/hon which has core design flaws that disallows any casual gamer just looking for a good game.

I loved the 1300 pages thread but a forum is awesome !

Is there a way to access the forum from somewhere or we have to find this thread from every PC we use ?

It's not that. And all the people who say it's free most likely spent more money on it than people who bought wc3 or HoN. People like it because it is easy. Easy to play easy to learn. Most people are bad. People don't like games where they are bad. LoL is easy to be good. That's about it.

Lol just pretends to be easy. Rather than putting you in the game and asking you to get better, it just gives you rewards based on time spent so you 'play better'. It also puts significantly more importance on the jungle creeps and their control which can be difficult for new players to understand. I mean yeah there's not the mechanical cruft of DotA with denies, orb walking, crow usage, recipes, or other such things, but it still has a lot of stupid/awkward parts to its design.

But yeah, it's not really free either given the time requirement to play on an even playing field. It's also not really more action packed unless your pug/group plays passively. There's slightly less farming, but a whole lot less dynamics around ganking, map awareness, and movement.

Lol is to Dota/HoN as WC3 is to Starcraft (1&2)

I think Lol's popularity is because 1. the community is less abusive 2. Games are shorter in length 3. People respond well to leveling up and unlocking things.

I paid money for SC2 and Dota and I still feel like LoL is a vastly superior game to either of them so I don't know what you're saying. We wouldn't all be playing League if we didn't think it was worthwhile, more fun than HoN/Dota/BW/SC2 and if it didn't have a great community.

Also, we have the highest-level strategy discussion on the web, hands down.
