I mean, I guess your point is the timing was right, but the game was out for awhile, grew a small collection of loyal fans who really loved it, and it really started ballooning in player base months after it was a thing. I'd argue that League MADE it the right time for LoL. They made an entertaining game, and even if people were liking a different game, they left it to come play LoL. Idk about anyone else, but I was palying other games before I played LoL, and then I subsequently stopped playing the other games. What you're missing is the WoW factor. LoL is a well made game, and an entertaining one, but there are plenty of games which are extremely well made and entertaining that are never more than afterthoughts. LoL did a lot of things right, but the reason it's so successful today is because it's the WoW of MOBAs. It launched into a fledgling genre whose progenitors were old and worn, but whose progeny were all ill-conceived and poorly designed. It made some very basic and controversial changes to make the genre more inviting to those who might have been turned off by its predecessors. Finally, it benefited immensely from people dragging their friends into it. None of this would have worked if LoL was a bad game, but if you had swapped the timelines for DotA 2 and LoL the history of the genre would be very different. | ||

Loads of comments saying it gets easier after a while is great too. FYI, I don't have any children yet but soon, just fearing the same as you seeing as I barely have time for games as it is | ||

There are people that do custom map skins if you want a different visual look. No i mean, different 5v5 maps. Not that different like dominion, but more different than just skins that change some colors and textures... and the plants and trees. I want something like a mappool of sc. I understand that league doesn't need more competitive maps, but that would be really cool. Things like would require different mechanics, thinking, strategies and ofc different metagames. We know that all champions are not played in SR competitively, but if there are more maps, maybe some of those champions are viable in other maps. Or strategies like double adc support or double jungle. Maybe a map with a bigger jungle, one with less walls, a map where flash is not necessary lol. I don't know, i didn't have enough time to think about how a good map would be but again it would be really cool. | ||

Just our local community isn't the same anymore since those days. People don't play maps like gravel anymore either here which sucks. Kind of why I don't play any more games that I can't play on Europe and why I can't understand how people want their local servers so bad(See Oceania) when from my experience they always so shit or limiting | ||

Any map that is noticeably different from SR is going to instantiate a new meta, and therefore will be considered too different for competitive play. On the other hand, the only way that you could change the map but still keep the core the same would be to do things like change the jungle paths, remove the river as a straight line between lanes, change position of buffs/dragon/baron maybe lengthen the lanes to 4 towers, or increase/decrease the distance between towers and lanes. I suppose then you'd have similar roles, but change the meta to more aggressive, more passive, more roam-y, or whatever. Unlikely that it'll ever be done though. | ||
