"its too easy its hurting esports" ROFL you are the ones hurting esports. Riot puts into their contract for every tournament League is involved in that they can't have any other games from the same genre. That's the very definition of "hurting eSports." | ||

That's the very definition of "hurting eSports." It could be true before but that's not the case anymore since Dreamhack Summer (this weekend) has all 3 of Dota 2, HoN, and LoL. Riot/LoL has just been able to capture the attention of the tournament organizers (MLG Lee and Carmac) by promoting their game well and giving support to the tournaments on site so they have fewer things to worry about. | ||

LoL for new players has the level/exp progression so for new players even if they're winning/losing 50% they're still "progressing" by leveling up and unlocking new content. Yes, but possible only becouse of the genre of the game. You cannot unlock anything in Sc2, maybe new avatar icons, but thats it. And you do progress, if you win 50% of your games, you will gain more points than you lose. And if you progressing by skill, you will be promoted to higher leagues | ||

The grind for lvl 30 is way too long in my opinion, and the grind for runepages, runes and 16 champions is even more ridiculous. But I guess that's a necessity when your game is free. Never understood the mentality of people saying you need as much experience as possible before doing ranked. There's ELO to sort out your skill level anyway. | ||

However, undercutting growth of the scene as a whole to purely profit yourself is a colossal dick move, and is stupid in the long run. I mean, I realize they ARE businesses, and they're trying to get every possible edge on the competition, but that doesn't mean that's acceptable. In the same way that I disapprove of sweat shops, I also disapprove of shady, downright dirty tactics like this.
