I have never been a fan of hero type games so I wasn't surprised I found myself hating it I thought I wasn't a fan of them either lol, but when I started playing it just sucked me in. I'm kinda sad because I wanted to eventually become high masters/gm on SC2, but I'd much more rather spend my time having fun with friends than churning out game after game trying to get better. Maybe I'll come back for HotS or something, but atm it's all LoL. | ||

It's really cool to watch pros play SC2 because you can see their insane mechanics and realize that you'll most likely never be as good as them. But for just raw fun, LoL wins out. | ||

I get pissed when I go on a losing streak in SC2, but I don't ever rage quite like I did when I played LoL. One idiotic teammate and it's pretty much game over. It only compounds on itself when that idiot is yelling at you in a language you don't speak. | ||

LoL is awesome, especially when queuing with friends. it's a great experience, that mostly doesnt bother itself with nerve-wracking competition like sc 1v1 does. What turned me away, however, was the pay-to-win aspect, and the constant balance patches that change the meta game much too drastically. aaaand i'm a grognard and prefer dota but to each his own. glad you're having fun. And be sure to try out dota once it is released! There is no pay to win in LoL. That's the entire premise of a competitive F2P game's success (read Riot Gaming). You buy cosmetics or conveniences only. And yes, I agree LoL is a lot of fun. I too was initially turned off by the game until a couple friends insisted I play more than a paltry amount of games. *edited clarity | ||

Only a very, very small minority of people even know people at their own skill level to practice with so they have to go to the ladder which, as you said, feels very anonymous. LoL, on the other hand, can be played with friends even if everyone isn't exactly on the same level and therefore provides fun more easily. That being said... on a different note... I hate the way LoL looks... DotA 2 and HoN are more my style. too bad no one I know plays those either. Yeah, I can't comment about Dota or HoN because none of my friends play those. It's a shame SC2 is the way it is. On one hand it's fun to get better and stuff, but then on the other it's super vacant feeling and it's also stressful. Team games aren't very fun because either you play with randoms and get pissed off because they're idiots, or you play with your friends and still get cheesed every game. | ||

I love League and I like playing it more than SC2, but a large part of that is because I already burned out on playing Brood War and I'm older and slower. RTS is a young man's game. | ||

What about rune pages is pay to win? Runes can only be unlocked through playing and while you can get more rune pages for money or through playing, only one is active at a time. It's pay-to-advance-faster but not pay-to-win. On topic: From my own experience, League of Legends is usually more fun because it's more casual, which means even your non-hardcore gamer friends or colleagues play it... and the more friends you have that play a game, the more fun the game becomes for you because you can talk to others about the games, talk about tournaments, complain about OP champions, talk strategy and stuff... On the other hand, while SC2 is not exclusively for hardcore gamers it's still a game where it's less likely that your friends pick it up, so except for online forums you can't really talk with anyone about it. This is why barcrafts and such are so extremely important and i wish there was one in a 200km radius :-/ | ||
