EPTThat's insane.
[IEM] Season 6 Championship - Page 184
| Forum Index > LoL Tournaments |
At any point of IEM Season 6 Championship, if you think of an interesting byline, please drop a sentence in the Pro Scene thread. At the end of the month, I'll catalogue the results of Hannover but also any interesting facts or events that happen over the course of the tournament. Thanks. Neo, 06.03.2012 | ||

How is it different from dota or HoN? Is it easier to pickup but have alot of depth? I mean, if it's so easy... why don't they go and dominate it? Coz they jelly and vs the games that aren't team games, well team games simply draw more viewers, not restricted to e-sports, no matter how much more "skilled" the solo sport would be. Like figure skating vs hockey. Which one has massive viewing? But goddamn is that figure skater gonna out skate a hockey player any day of the week, massive skill difference! | ||

Gamers get salty when another game besides the one that they play becomes more popular. Most people wouldn't be able to dominate LoL. Just really bitter interweb users. :O | ||

I heard that the matchmaking system makes it easy for newbies to join - thus veterans of the genre (e.g. from dota) quickly dominate at the start, but if they stuck around, it gets harder. Is this true? I mean, if it's so easy... why don't they go and dominate it? http://mogwaismusings.wordpress.com/ Pretty good explanation from our resident Gizbro. | ||
