In the immediate future, this means Starswar 8 won't have DotA, even though Starswar 7 had both games. I'm a little apprehensive about the precedent Riot set negotiating exclusivity agreements with MLG/IEM/IPL. While Riot were good-intentioned in their dealings (ensuring that the use of Riot money is not indirectly spent on their competitors), I expect Tencent to be somewhat more heavy-handed due to the nature of business in China, which means this could get pretty messy if Perfect World starts fighting back (and potentially just bad for Esports in general).

I randomly played top, and the GP top ran crit runes to cheese. I was reallllllly salty about this. I didn't expect it, and those crits are not fun at all. Interestingly, I lost lane hard, but the rest of my team won game while I farmed top for about 25 mins. Even then I was behind, but team was good enough to win game. good times. Sorry for the random story time! | ||

I'd be very surprised if this didn't happen. DotA and LoL are in direct competition with each other, after all. Also, I didn't know it was called "League of Lesbians" until I read the comments. Hey gurl. | ||

My initial reaction was good riddance since they did such a piss poor job last time round. The bigger picture does sounds rather bleak. I don't really get why Riot is pushing this since they have created their own thriving ecosystem which will never really be threatened. Seems like needless stirring. | ||

Also next time I take MS quints. Trying to get in range of Corki against Cassiopeia+Soraka was hell. (And boring after awhile. Soraka is boring as hell for ARAMs, especially with Rylai. Makes the game so stale.) | ||

Like, I'd press R, but he would only move half the time, and stop moving after a few steps, forcing me to spam it. R wouldn't take attack commands, only alt+right click. Is that the same for Annie and stuff? Is it always that clunky? I usually don't have problems R-attacking with annie, just have my mouse hovering over the target as I press R (similar to Urgot's lock-on). I use smartcast so I'm not sure if that makes a difference though. | ||
