I'd argue that experience and knowledge plays far bigger role in Dota/Lol, which is something they don't have right now. Throw in the fact that the balance in LoL shifts with every patch, you have quite volatile environment to hone your mechanics. | ||

I'm not surprised, it was established for some time that the avenue for retirement for BW pros is not SCToo, but LoL instead. Guess we know now where Stork is gonna go in the future xD On June 15 2012 18:39 ShadeR wrote: Samsung. Sponsor them! This is a good idea actually, since LoL is very big in Korea it'd make a lot of sense for Samsung to sponsor a team. | ||

They don't have much knowledge of SC2 either right now, there are constant balance patches in SC2, and HOTS and LOTV are still to be released. | ||

LoL: Significant balance changes (especially with new champs) about every 2 weeks. Quite the difference. Of course HotS and LotV will really screw balance over, but it's not like expansions are released all the time. So many people switching to LoL makes me a sad pandabearguy The game is fun to play, yes, but winning 1v1 games feels a lot better... then again, losing in 1v1 games feels a lot worse, too, while in MOBA you can always blame it on your teammates. | ||

also the delight winning games 1v1 as opposed to 5v5 is a matter of opinion is it not? I like celebrating my victory with the teammates I have more then I do alone. | ||

It's always the teammate's fault whenever I loses a MOBA. At least it helps me sleep every night. | ||
