EPTyou're not going to hurt my feelings by attacking SC2, as Im not a particularly great fan of that game. I still prefer BW to SC2.

Playing actively in LoL is rewarded, harrassing and pushing lanes roaming and ganking especially from mid lane is all rewarded. You not even being 30 are just another hater who doesn't really play but plays a couple games and thinks they understand. Also, LoL is much prettier than DotA. DotA is a fugly game that is hard on the eyes. LoL is vibrant and colorful and different spells and actions are much more easily distinguishable to the untrained eye. WHAT ? i love dota and got eye cancer when i tried LoL... i guess you like what you play  | ||

LoL is DotA with training wheels. the little kiddies feel so grown up when they play, it's pretty cute actually. the mad is strong in this one. sorry that your shitty sc2 game sucks, brood war was 100x better and that garbage game takes no skill and has no viewership qualities. sorry to break it to you. and if you're not defending sc2 then what the fuck are you defending rofl? this game is about sc2 vs LoL not bw vs lol. dumbass cant even read. | ||

Ziggs is prob the best IMO for mid, love my build with him. 3 rings, boots, then large rod. Q can 4 hit most squishies then, and ez as shit to farm. Actually LoL snowballs harder. Once you have the mapcontrol, you'll never let it go and never lose a dragon/baron. | ||

Please, keep up the comedic gold, fellas, I'm all ears. Hmmmm, what does "it's not fun to watch" have to do with "misinformed"? "it's not fun to watch" is entirely subjective and up to personal oppinion if you like it or not. I, personally, cannot stand to watch it (I freely admit to not having a clue about Lol or any other Moba game, so I won't presume to say I can judge if it's easy or not). But I am still happy for the Lol-guys, that's a big win for eSports  | ||

In fact, i doubt anyone would say a game like Chess or Poker is noncompetitive/easy but in terms of pre-set mechanical skills necessary to play the game they both require absolutely none... Actually, I do find LoL competitive... but I feel that the play shown by the top professional teams pale in comparison with those shown by SC/DotA... but that could be attributed to the Korean SC / Chinese DotA training? Mmm | ||

Does the fact that you need to be able to skate and stick handle make it a better competitve sport than any other sport? Ummm... no it doesn't.... And this is coming from someone who absolutely adores hockey in every way possible. OMG SOCCER SO MUCH EASIER TO PLAY THAN HOCKEY!!! THE WORLD FULL OF CASUALS!!! Amirite? | ||

Playing it is dead easy though, i know that there is a nice skill ceiling but it's really really easy to play. Which is the alure of it, at all play levels you can have good/bad games and as you get higher there are alot more things to learn/improve upon. I'm hoping Dota2 picks up alot, there are so many things in DOTA that got removed from LoL to make it ALOT easier (gold loss on death, CC items that you can but, anti-cc items, on-use effects, denying creep exp, can't remember for sure but I think there were no wards in dota ethier so you had to have much better map awareness, creeps were stronger so you didn't just dive heros @ level 2-3 and kill them potentially...i dunno a ton more stuff i think) See where the future goes, anything that promotes more esports tournaments is fine by me. | ||

I was in LoL since the original beta and have played two accounts to 30 with 1200 games played. Sorry for not knowing the exact number of games required to hit 30, since I last did it over two years ago. Must mean I know nothing about the game. | ||

Oh goodie, your video game is arbitrarily harder than mine because you have to prioritize a different skillset, you are a big boy. When's the last time you won a major tournament in Dota? It's just awful when people lean on the inherent mechanical challenges of a game as if that justifies their own mediocrity in a game where your opponents are other humans. "I'm average at a hard game, which definitely makes me really good at this supposedly easier game" is the mentality of gaming elitists who talk a lot about how hard their game is without ever getting close to the pinnacle it. | ||

However, how does it have such a thriving professional scene with really dominant teams if it is supposedly such a low skill game? Regardless of what people are saying, teams are able to distinguish themselves and rise above the others. How come? Every time me and my friends play Generals: Zero Hour i win 100% of games, simply by being so much better than them at it. Now that is a game with a super ultra low skill ceiling, but that doesn't mean that it's impossible to be better than anyone else at it. A BW pro would play it for 15min and instantly be better than me probably, to me that screams a low skill ceiling if you can "master" the game so easily. If you just gave every player 5 marines and a medivac the mechanical skill ceiling (not in the way we normally use the word) would be impossible for a human being. Still doesn't make it either competitive, fun to watch or suited for an E-sport. | ||
