Why does every thread that mentions LoL NEED to turn into a LoL vs HoN vs Dota2 thread? Seriously, cut it out.

DotA2 vs LoL will be epic.
I wish both sides will keep their professionalism.

LoL tweets are bashing DotA2 while DotA2 is just promoting their game.
So far DotA2 has been looking more professional therefore more promising.

There have been many fps games that coexisted as an esport. Why shouldn't this be possible for moba games? I think LoL is different enough from Dota2 to coexist. You've never seen quakers argue with cs players, have you?

Sc and Wc3 is a better comparison.


Gotta agree with this.

Did they announce a break down of the prize pool yet?


The $5mil is a pool that for the whole year, so no one will know the prize distribution yet. But they will undoubtedly want to have one major tournament at the end with >$1.6mil to at least 1up Valve.

You're comparing an official tweet from someone employed at Riot to a notoriously bitter angry person who is not affiliated with Valve or icefrog. Great comparison there genius.

What LoL tweets? Non of the Riot staffs have posted anything bashing DotA2. LOLUpdates is not affiliated with Riot Games or LoL. Just some kid who got a hold of that twitter name.

Everyone is making something out of nothing. Both those tweets are from overzealous fans.

My post was a joke, a pic I found on Reddit that was related to what Omegastorm posted. You for some reason got offended by what I posted and came off as an asshole.

I have played both games and DotA2 is a better game to 'compete' while LoL is more of a game to play for 'fun'.

Like i said GL to DotA2

Is it just me or there seems to be a trend restarting? Every new MOBA game that will be released will be the LOL killer. It's pretty easy to compare it to WoW,LoL has 15 mil acc created and almost 2 milion active ones,so no matter how much beter the new game will be you won't kill LoL not only because it's a game with pretty solid roots but there is no reason for people to leave,casuals have their casual fun and pros won't switch to games where they might win 20 times lower prizes.

I just hope they finally update the game with proper features like pause to avoid giving too much advantage to other team should someone's computer end up having technical difficulties.

What is hilarious is that many people who advocate DotA at the expense of LoL talk about how much more competitive DotA is. Well, who gives a damn? You can have the most competitive game in the world, which only has a player base of 200 people and it will have no realistic chance of being an "e-sport". What matters most is the amount of interest that people have in seeing high level matches in LoL or DotA. Since they both have huge playerbases, and if this doesn't change, they will both become successful e-sports. Calling LoL uncompetitive is just elitism and insecurity, and frankly, not very relevant.

The 100m sprint is probably the most anticipated event in the Olympics and yet the barrier of entry into that event is so low. Almost everyone can physically run 100m, and herein lies its attraction - it is highly relevant, even if the sport itself lacks complex elements that people think are so crucial in e-sports. As long as LoL maintains its fanbase, it will be a very popular e-sport.

Whether it can be even more popular or not depends on many factors, including whether it has the requisite infrastructure (replays, observer mode, etc), whether it is exciting to watch (maybe they should try to force-change the meta into something more exciting), whether it is easy to understand (out of all the MOBA type games, it probably has the most crisp and intuitive viewing experience), and whether it is easy to replicate the awesomeness seen on screen by newbie fans who want to try it out (here is LoL's ultimate strength - it is the most fun and accessible MOBA type game). As a viewing sport, nobody gives a shit whether you can or cannot deny in LoL, because it's boring to see people deny/last hit all the time anyway. If denying however, shifts the metagame to something more aggressive, then it is only this secondary effect that is relevant to LoL's strength as an e-sport.

Come on starcraft 2, you are the original!
you were the one who made games a serious sport with money in the first place. You have had regular tournaments with great prize pools, such as NASL with 50,000 first prize, and GSL with roughly the same amount. You can be bigger than lol and dota2, dont let them overtake you!

i believe!
