It's embarrassing that such games get more attention than a game such as brood war, or even sc2, which require 10+ hours of practice per day to master, as well as actual skill. The people that say it is just a "different kind of skill" should go and watch a few FPVODs of Flash and then of some of the best lol or dota players. But as one person said before, I guess it's the age of casuals indeed.. :S | ||

DotA's viewer system is impeccable. Never miss the action, never miss a kill, always know all vital statistics. etc.... anyway... there are arguments for both sides. You could say LoL is more active due to fighting over buffs constantly, or that DotA is because you can dive towers much earlier in the game. etc etc. I wish people in this thread informed themselves before spouting nonsense. Or at least not be rude towards other games. Is there a reason multiple esports can't coexist? If you think those statistics were to be taken seriously, then you are by all means, a lost case. It's a figure of speech. And by being userfriendly to watch i obviously don't mean random games between herp and derp, i mean tournaments. Noone cares about normal games. | ||

For those worried about Dota, just wait until the game is finished and the chinese switch over, they will bring the game to new levels more accessible to the western scene(in terms of viewing and appeal) and will be another flagship of ESPORTS(everyone seems to liike in caps) whats better then one ESPORT, 2, why?Because it forces competition, simple as that. | ||

Yeah, thats true. And the fact that Riot is the biggets contributor to prize pools when it comes to LoL events while events need to pay Blizzard to have Sc2 events lol. Like someone else said, Riot actually promotes esport that way while Blizzard(Activision?) only wants to make money of it. | ||

starcraft (bw/2) is already at the limit of forcing viewers to suspend disbelief with its sci-fi alien theme. a game like LoL with its overbearing fantasy theme with so many different spells and items to understand will never make it to the next level. to those who say it is the age of casual gaming; well yes it is. the fact is that more people play video game. alot more. therefore this lends itself to promoting games that everyone can pick up and play. the majority of people who will begin playing video games for the first time look to games that have simple concepts to pick up; simple design, but depth in mastery. these games must not take long to play, and shouldnt require long-term investment. hardcore games will always exist, but it is futile to think that games should always be of one sort. anywho rant aside. LoL will do great and im glad that esports is growing, but it really just doesnt have the potential to move to greater things. | ||
