LoL certainly has its fun and its charm, I just couldn't get past the purchasing heroes bit. I'm aware that they come out with free heroes to try every week, but I hate getting interested in a new champion and then I have to save up 6300 IP just to purchase him. IMO the game would be a lot more fun if there was a "rent" option where you could purchase a hero for a set am ount of games to try him out.
Easy doesnt fit into grownup life.

Good write up. I'm glad you found a game you are passionate about.

But real talk. LoL is not the greatest game ever. The basic premise of LoL is that it's easy. Easy to jump in, easy to play, easy(boring as fuck imo) to watch.

It removed more skillful aspects of dota for a wider appeal. And as a business decision it worked out great, they are super popular. But it can never actually be taken seriously as an Esport. The rate at which heroes are introduced makes sure the game can never truly be balanced.

Casual game for casual gamers. Hell, i had my evil cunt of an ex gf text me the other month asking if i played any LoL. No way is this the best fucking thing ever.
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums, what a shame that you came here with someone.

I must say, I do enjoy your non biased points that don't allow for misinterpretation and spark new topics of discussion ranging from the league of legends vs dota 2 debate, and the league of legends vs dota 2 debate, and the leag...

Nah, I'm just kidding, I love opinionated writing, and this piece did great in conveying your excitement for League :D I really enjoy it too, but some points (such as calling it the spiritual successor of dota 2) may be a bit much for some people to handle. Overall, it was a great recap

Started playing LoL after having played and followed SC2 for two years. I have completely lost interest in SC2 since I'm actually having fun with LoL. I can't believe I spent so much time trying to force myself to become better at a game that isn't fun to play. Most of all, I miss Brood War. Anyway, recently got a Dota2 invite as well, so I've got good things ahead.

The thing that bugs me the most about LOL is the rate which they release champions, how could they possibly balance everything if a new champion comes out every month. It's like if blizzard released a new unit every month :O
