Nothing about this, in the least, says that the LoL subforum can't do pretty much everything the DotA side wants to do (sans stream postings). If people wanted to, they could take the time to write up and edit articles about various tournaments, strats, or ideas. This only seems relevant to LoL in the sense that people will always take time to make LoL and DotA 2 comparisons... when they really shouldn't. | ||

I don't think this news should be a "shock" to anyone. Not everyone likes Riot Games or League of Legends. | ||

LoL is much more popular than DotA in all of the major Chinese cities nowadays in terms of active players. In terms of viewership, LoL is catching up pretty fast but it has stalled a bit because of the lack of top Chinese teams nowadays to challenge the current crop of top Korean teams. It has little to do with China vs. Korea. Korea is a recent comer in LoL and is far from being the mecca of LoL. LoL had been popular in China for years before Korea came into the scene, but the eSports side of it has never taken off. Chinese teams also do not play Korean teams frequently - the Koreans don't send their teams out a lot, and the last time a Chinese team was in a tournament, they were roflstomped by Western teams. Thinking that Korea's rather light presence on the LoL scene is the cause for LoL eSports not taking off in China is delusional. The problem is that LoL eSports just isn't that popular in China. A lot of this is due to the established Dota eSports tradition - just about every popular 'MOBA' player in China is in Dota rather than LoL. There is Dota elitism in China, too, from what I've heard. | ||

I gotta say, I like this approach, I always come to TL to read LoL threads when there are tournaments around. I just wish the community's were less violent to each other, too much elitism going around. | ||

It's kinda related to how stagnant the meta is and how some mechanics (mainly unlimited wards) are not creating an interesting game. | ||

But you get DQ-ed when you try to make it interesting... :/ On a more serious note, oracle's is getting earlier and earlier. It has become the go-to item after finishing mobility boots on the supportjunglers. | ||
