Some may consider it more difficult to co-ordinate 5 people at once compared to 1 person, but most people conclude that all the other factors that Starcraft is more difficult in tilt it in SC's favour. It all comes down to opinions on the importantance and difficulty of teamwork | ||

Ill just say what;s on the majority of peoples minds. LoL is waaaay easier. Destiny was probably drunk. If not he is prob sick of being semi-pro sc2, you can imagine how frustrating it is losing on ladder. Now imagine losing when you know your GOOD. LoL is a joke, im sorry but its designed for people who don't like to multi-task but like to feel good about themselves by making colorful spells pop up. also please don't bring intelligence into a game, im sorry there are a ton of people who aren't good at college/exams and do very well in sc2 and the reverse is also true its just pointless to equate intelligence with game skill End- | ||

Does he have absolutely no conviction in the statements he made? That's probably not true, at some level he believes what he has said, even if it's in a 'fingers crossed about that part, I know in my head I meant something more specific but this broad term works well.' | ||

In a SC2 match, there is like a million things you could've done better, had you the infinite APM required to pull it all off. The skill ceiling is almost infinitely higher than most other games. Destiny isn't the only one to make the comment that LoL is "harder" than SC2, although it is nonetheless wrong. And LoL is a growing e-sport. But whereas SC2's popularity comes from the extremely impressive mechanics required to play it at a professional level, LoL's popularity comes from the fact that everyone can play it and understand what's going on. Also, any real strategy from LoL comes from an organized team. Individually... it's just a ridiculously simple game. In any match, your choices are extremely limited. There is only so much you can improve on. Never watched Destiny's stream, so I don't really care what he does or says. He ought to consider the fact that LoL is saturated with "pro" streamers. I think in the long-run, if he is as good as some people say he is, he should really stick with SC2. Better to be an average pro in a real sport than a little-league champ. | ||

In 2 years, QWOP will become the rising/dominant eSport and all of the DOTA/MOBA/whatever you want to call it fans will make huge angry blogs about how a game that requires no skill is taking over the eSports scene. IT WILL HAPPEN, JUST YOU WAIT. | ||

I see plenty of people crying that LoL doesn't deserve to be an eSport et etc. Hey you know what, even if you don't like the game you should be happy more games are being included in tournaments because that's what's going to bring in money for future tourneys and exposure and growth of eSports. ESports isn't going to flourish with ONE game being designated as the only real worthy game or something ridiculous like that. That's why people like Day9 promote gaming in general. Funnily enough these are the same people who bashed SC2 for being the noob game compared to brood war. Same in case of LoL and Dota. Guess what, a few years from now when LoL is well established (its a growing game compared to the already matured and older dota) there will be another new upcoming game which will get bashed for being inferior to LoL. The cycle goes on. To the haters its not even about skill either. I mean, how many of these people can play either of the games competitively? Its just about feeling superior to everyone else cuz they play the 'better' game so they are smarter and everyone else is dumb and retarded. Its pathetic. | ||

If you enjoy SC2, well then that's great for you but I personally do not enjoy it. I enjoy LoL, I really could care less about how "hard" it is. How the hell does one even define "hard" for that matter? The old saying comparing apples to oranges comes to mind because of how absolutely pointless it is to argue over how "hard" a game is. Some people enjoy SC2, some LoL, some DotA, some BW, it all really comes down to what you enjoy so please stop shitting over other people's games. Unless you find pleasure in insulting strangers on the internet in which case I really have no argument for you. That's all well and good, and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I appreciate the moral high ground, but this discussion began because Destiny 'threw the first blow' if you will(not that previous to his comment, swarms of people haven't weighed in on it one way or the other). The same way that you feel bad for someone who plays a game based on how hard it is(I don't think that's why people play sc2, it may play a part in the decision but surely they enjoy RTS, the Starcraft universe, Blizzard games, science-fiction, etc), I feel bad that you feel insulted by someone's perception that the game you play is 'not hard' or 'not the hardest.' None of the above is reason for there to be no discussion about the topic. Telling people what they can't discuss/argue over is silly. | ||

And its not that I'm averse to discussion, but the OP is obviously a flame-baiting post and these topics degenerate into people insulting everyone else's preferred games. | ||

I think he got upset because he realizes how much time people put into these RTS's. The players in Korea play sc2 and BW alot, and you have to play the game everyday to keep that muscle memory intact and to keep up with the shifting late game. After not lifting for a few days, I have to focus on my technique more because I took a day or 2 off. Muscle memory is really important for something fast paced, where a small mistake can snowball into a disaster. There are other people that don't take kindly to people praising LoL as being a very in-depth game that requires alot of skill, these are mostly the HoN players.

I think because he himself came into the thread to defend his position. And it didn't seem like trolling because he answered alot of people. | ||

It kind of depends. I beat my friend @ rock-paper-scissors 15 times in a row. Ignoring the draws, the odds of that are like one out of 32k I believe. Once you figure tic-tac-toe (which any 10 year old can do), you can play perfectly for eternity. Yet if you play rock-paper-scissors (against people), you can kind of "figure them out" and win more than them... Obviously this is impossible against a computer. Still, it's a tough call - what takes more "skill"? Being able to get a draw every tic-tac-toe game or being able to figure out someone's "move pattern" at R-P-S? | ||
