Insofar as your re-branding of terms holds no actual practical advantage (which you haven't shown it does), it's less confusing both for newcomers with DotA experience, and for inter-genre discussion to use the terms as they originally meant. | ||

Your personal views on what the terms should be called do not line up with that the vast majority of players. Funny about how people always say that given how many mages are actually classed as semi-carries. And I'm pretty sure the fact that what you consider a misuse of the term (e.g. saying Irelia is a carry) is as common as it is means quite a lot of players don't agree with your definition. | ||

Ya I mean, DotA calls their things heroes and creeps, LoL has champions and minions... the games are clearly nothing alike, who would ever make inferences from one to the other. I liked the part where you even avoided saying 'carries carry the game' by typing x instead of carry. At that point you and everyone else realized how pointless your argument is, and yet you carried on. I admire your perseverance, and by admire I mean laugh at, and by perseverance I mean trolling. | ||

As I said, why would you call something "carry" if the term doesn't mean what the word does? That makes no sense. The term is completely stolen from DotA, and you want to give it a different definition that has nothing to do with the meaning of the word? | ||

The term is completely stolen from DotA, and you want to give it a different definition that has nothing to do with the meaning of the word? It's not even stolen from DotA, it's stolen from literal meaning. "Damn Lebron is totally carrying his team tonight." "Tom Brady carried the Pats to the Super Bowl this year, the rest of the team was terrible." Carrying means what it does, you can't just make shit up about it. 'Carries' are the champions that do this most often, and not unexpectedly. | ||

I have no idea why you would *want* to describe warmogs cass as belonging to the same category as deathcap cass when they play so differently. Glass cannon is also not the same thing because carry conveys an ability to continue dealing high damage throughout a fight and a glass cannon could just be a squishy mage with a lot of burst and no sustained damage. I think you're mistaking it, carrying conveys an ability to win, nothing else. You don't even need to deal any damage to champions to win if you have an ability that onehits towers, to give an extreme example. Another example. Heimerdinger back when he was broken was considered pretty much the hardest carry in the game because his team just won the game after he got some farm because he had totally unstoppable pushes and just took an inhibitor after inhibitor. | ||

MAYBE that's why there are two different terms. LoL players call everything carry. «Carry AP», «Carry AD», «GP is a carry», «Lee is a carry jungler». We don't have to cope with this stupid shit, where «carry» means «makes use of big farm»... | ||
