Recalled countless times doing Nef where everythings going good, crackles about to come, then Ony randomly decides to tail lash and wipes the raid, or doing rag when DBM's timers go off sync and you can only guess when somethings coming. Some of the fights are really mindlessly easy, but saying all of them are "mindless" and youre going to know exactly where to go before you even attempt it is just stupid Really depended on the fight and your role. Magmaw was easy as shiiiitttt for the tank, but the ranged actually had to pay attention to pillars and what not. Unless you did the Frost DK kiting strat, then lolz. But honestly, most WoW fights boil down to attack the right target and don't stand in fire/poison/void/whatever. The only tricky things were really interrupts, kiting, and silly things like the one person on Putricide taking the mixture. PvP (in every game type) is much, much more involved. Yes, it still boils down to focusing the right target and not getting hit by stuff, but you can time PvE events. PvP isn't simply about the mechanics. You can dodge every Brand Pillar, Cho Silence, Ashe Arrow, juke Blitz's hand, and still lose. Just like in Starcraft, you can have constant production at all times and micro very well, but if you don't plan or react, you lose. | ||

So not really sure what this whole 5v5 cho'gath thing is about. It was in response to nyxnyxnyx saying an extreme scenario is laning with cho'gath where a great player can't exert dominance against a decent player, so I just gave an even more extreme scenario. Unless we want to get into the gory details of "exert dominance", I think that 90%+ winrate should settle it. So in reality when you factor in picks, great players have even more of an advantage. | ||

For competitive play it's not a huge deal although I think lanes where both people free farm because they can't do anything to each other are pretty stupid. In solo q its obviously super frustrating where one player might have been 2k last season with a few games played this season against a 1500 player and they have a matchup that they really just cannot win by themselves despite the skill difference (assuming again the extreme scenario where they are against Cho). | ||

LoL top 10 plays of the week is a sad but true showcase of how 'pro' plays in LoL look compared to wtfomgbbqicouldneverinmylifedothatshit pro plays in DotA. edit: thanks rob, you got it Starcraft 2 players are losing to random nonames on the ladder all the time. It happens. | ||

IMO solo q is a VERY bad sample to draw from, mostly because rarely does anyone ever tryhard. | ||

I mean, this rando team that is going to mlg consists of 1900+ players, and they got manstomped by clg+lapaka. If you gave a pro an even matchup on a champ they knew how to play, then told them to tryhard vs a 1900 player, I honestly think the pro would win every time. We know this is the case because the same teams always come through qualifiers to go to tournaments, with very little variation. IMO solo q is a VERY bad sample to draw from, mostly because rarely does anyone ever tryhard. | ||
