As far as NA goes, probably never. People like easier games, all my friends said "tried dota, too hard, went back to LoL." | ||

People like easier games, all my friends said "tried dota, too hard, went back to LoL." If DotA loses out in China, it'll be because Perfect World fucked up something bad. Which I hope won't happen, but it's not out of the realm of possibility. As far as NA goes, LoL is just on the cusp of the "Asian domination" wave that put a damper on other games--it has the potential to lose Western popularity the way BW and DotA did. DotA 2 is more or less already a community that's lived in the wake of that for years now, so it's not like we're going to lose more. | ||

Yea, that free software that allows you to chat with friends cross-game and trade games and items and chat and voice-chat and so on. Such a shitty piece of software. Not that steam doesn't have flaws, but just calling it a piece of shit is quite odd to me. | ||

I have a lot of problems with Steam, but it's a free service. Just a shame it's required for dota2. | ||

Most players that I know who have played both league and dota for a long time say it'll be very difficult for dota to surpass league. I don't think most people here realize just how big league is. Sure, China is big, but that's the only place it's winning over League right now, and it's pretty much cemented in NA, Korea, and strong in Europe. | ||
