There is a problem with EU Chat Servers atm. Sometimes you get directed to an empty server. Not sure why this is atm. Have been speaking with QA the past week about it.

Log out and log back in for now for a fix.

I learned something last night!

So I bought ArPen quints to improve my jungling, and decided it was about time I figured out how to jungle Riven. So I started working on vamp scepter start, and kept dying at twin golems. I was all "wtf, the guide says I can do this". Then a little lightbulb somewhere goes off, and I switched to AD marks + quints. Bam, I finish small jungle clear with like half health, no problem. I then nudge a bit in the other direction and go ArPen marks + AD quints, and am still successful. Woo! I realize that that I just arrived at the "standard" for Riven jungling, but it was cool figuring it out for myself and seeing why it worked.

Yaaaaay learning.

I like Armor 5pot start, but Vamp Scepter works too :D

So... The new southpark episode is based on recent studies of Reginald's behaviour.

Also, saint not mentioning Behkuh in his Girls of LoL tier list when he recently made out with her.

I don't know if the other graves was bad, but our bot with cait and sona (me) just flat out outranged and poked the enemy graves +taric, and pushed the tower by ~12 minutes. This was a 1600 ELO game so not some noob taking graves either, but yes we managed with cait and sona.

His mana pool is huge to begin with too. Sometimes I wonder if riot even think about the design process.

For laughs, especially when Ack pulls out the "nigger" card on why using "MOBA" is evil and wrong.

But I'm not wrong here, am I? Most of you who play LoL couldn't care less if our genre is called MOBA or whatnot? His reasoning is just trolol.

So I had to jump to the end. And his comparison between a politically incorrect, and outright offensive word to a "misuse" of MOBA is really dumb.

As he says, the history of MOBA started with some guy working on DotA1... Wtf... Why would you create a term to describe something that fails to describe it? -_-

Edit: Yeah, reading a little bit more it seems very trololol.

His argument is really poor, but moba is indeed a stupid term. While most of the genre classifications are vague at best, moba is needlessly inaccurate as it says absolutely nothing about the game.

Pretty sure there was a topic at the start of the dota2 forum that actually had some good discussion.

I like his claim that MOBA doesn't describe the genre well enough. Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. Is the game online? Do you battle, in an arena, with multiple people?

It's pretty fucking apt as far as descriptions go.

"Massively Online" is just an out of date term. Everything can fit into MO these days.

"Battle Arena" is hardly inaccurate.

I mean it's an acronym, how accurate does it need to be? If I can associate an idea to an acronym, I think the acronym's done its duty, lol.

If people think of the genre if they say MOBA then that's it. The word itself has not been used to discriminate people (like "nigger") or anything bad. The origin doesn't matter.

It's not inaccurate if people know what it actually means. It's not like the letters in "egg" somehow tell you what "egg" actually means.

Damn I wouldn't even have realized it's my birthday (in a few minutes) if it wasnt for TL. I was like - hey where's my post? OH THAT BIRTHDAY HAT IS ON MY POST!
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Is it any less accurate than RPG? It literally stands for Role Playing Game. Any time you play a game, you are taking on a role. Any single game in existence is an RPG. Starcraft is an RPG where you roleplay as a commander/executor/cerebrate. Halo is an RPG where you roleplay as Master Chief.

But RPG sounds better than "Spreadsheet and Level type game", so who gives a fuck?

I guess we could start calling the DotA clones, like, Lane and Tower Game or something, but is it really a big deal?

You should try posting on the forums or something. One of the Rioters posing as Fiddlesticks has been popping into threads (scaring the crap out of people because every time you load a page with him on it, the surprise crowstorm sound plays) and giving people IP boosts or something?
Maybe you can get a free skin for sharing a birthday or something?

Not gonna enter that shitstorm thread but I will say on here that I will always use the term MOBA just to spite Ack1027. Ten years from now when someone asks me if I want to play League of Legends 3, the brand new game that came out I will respond, "That's a MOBA right???" and think fondly on Ack1027.

MOBA is a bad acronym because it isn't catchy and can easily be mistaken for something other than an acronym when used in casual conversation. Terms like RPG, RTS, and FPS work well because it's obvious that they're acronyms, and they're all short enough (both in word count and syllables) to be easy to remember (even if the expanded acronym arguably doesn't properly describe the genre).

That's why Gabe Newell's "Action RTS" term is probably better.
