Drops from 150k to 65k when it shifts from EU to NA peak times. It's sad that I can't get much competitive experience on US. I enjoy playing on SEA and China more where players play much more serious, and there are always sentries all over, and everyone is trying to win. But I can only play heroes that are playable at 325 ping like Centaur.  The ping to China for me is actually playable, at around 200-250, but there is packet loss that makes death messages, last hit gold numbers, spell effects, and so on often not appear. The SEA players usually communicate really well too. | ||

Yes. Everytime a new version of some famr simulator comes out, it hangs in the top10 sales charts for a few weeks. As soon as the farm simulator gets boring, there are plenty of other "simulators" that sell very well in germany. | ||

We all know LoL has 'more' players, but we don't have numbers like we have from valve. We only have massaged data, so comparing is kind of silly. As for HoN, there's a site that shows a graph of the player numbers like we have for Dota but I don't remember where it is. When I last checked it was around 40k during EU peak and like 120k during SEA peak. | ||

So it's a really bad way to measure which game is more or less played. | ||

It only counts NA and europe, which is less than half the actual worlds population and xfire, as already mentioned, is popular in certain gaming communites and non-existant in others. Ontop of that xfire also counts time where your client is simply open as time used playing and due to the nature of the LoL client having it open is common regardless of playing, i mean i do the same for DotA2. Statistics and be twisted. | ||
