If you think SC2 is only "slightly" different than BW you haven't played much BW | ||

There must be, as someone who has only played LoL a couple of times, when I tune into a stream or tournament I have NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON. I assume that you need to be a fairly avid LoL player in order to understand what's happening. I'd surmise that SC2 is much more simple to understand if you hadn't ever played it. (I started playing BW after seeing some moletrap/diggity/klazart english casts. Part of the problem is that a lot of the casters that get used at competitive LoL events really suck at casting. The lack of an official replay system also makes it really hard for amateur casters to get practice/exposure. | ||

Midas I'm going to confess that in the off-season, I tried out StarCraft 2 and League of Legends. I was so surprised when I first played StarCraft 2. I couldn't believe that such an easy game exists. Same with League of Legends. I guess the best way to attract people these days is to make things easy and simple. They're certainly different games, that's for sure. But as an esport, is there really a difference? I guess LoL is starting to become legitimate with OGN. | ||

As an observer sport(and i am primarily a dota with some sc2 player) sc2 is just soooo much more enjoyable. And in that regard id imagine lol being about the same if not slightly worse for observing | ||

SC2 requires a lot more mechanical skill and multi tasking ability. LoL requires a lot more group strategy meshing champion abilities AND player personalities into a cohesive team that anticipates each others thoughts and decisions. I am not sure why so many people want to compare the two. I know the highest of LoL skill players would probably look like noobs on gm ladders of sc2. But guess what, I have had my friends that are master league sc2 players hop on LoL and think that its the easiest game and they were sent home QQ'ing. SC2 takes a lot of skill and LoL takes a lot of skill. It's just DIFFERENT skills and so the SC2 or LoL fanbois don't respect the other game. If you don't agree with this go play whichever game you think is easier and post your ladder progress here. With that said I prefer to watch SC2 streams more than LoL. | ||

Just the hardness is different, hardness in lol is about positioning, map awareness, speculating enemy's behavior. sc2 has less of that and more of a mechanic button mashing sidel eh? SC2 has that too.... SC2 is the more difficult game, there is no doubt. LoL is more teamwork. I cannot imagine LoL pros playing SC2 well at a competitive level, but SC2 progamers can easily transition if they want to and practice as a group. I myself have not played LOL, but the concept behind it sounds like DOTA, and while fun it seems to be the kind of game you play with friends (so you have to find friends willing to play these kind of games....urgh). For me SC2 has become...not so interesting anymore for me....watching GSL and other tournaments. I wish that we had SC2 format, but the game is BW (so same ladder system, but BW, GSL tournaments, but playing BW). This HoTS does not look very good from the replays I watched via Husky's channel and I have now uninstalled SC2 recently. | ||
