It ain't elitism, it's just that the games like LoL attract a lot of dislike due to the way they're designed, marketed and forced into a competitive format for marketing reasons alone. You almost never see "elitism" towards Quake, CS and other games that actually evolved a competitive scene organically without having millions of dollars dumped into it for that specific purpose. I'm not sure you have any idea what you are talking about, because LoL had a huge player base when there weren't any tournaments. It did not have "millions of dollars dumped into it," and it does not "attract a lot of dislike." Vocal dislike is not a lot of dislike. Comparing the esports scene of a decade ago (Quake, CS) with today is just pure wrong. Edit: Not a fanboy of LoL, played the for a few days, decided it was not my thing. More of a HoN guy. | ||

But all internet communities I've ever seen have reached a boiling point where it just devolves into random hatred, flaming and whining. Trolls take over, and level-headed people who could have a positive impact give up and abandon the sinking ship. A bit off-topic though. There are still a ton of wonderful Starcraft to talk about today. I really hope to see some great performances by Nestea today  It's just a problem with forums in general. I'm not sure when it is reached but there is this critical mass that gets reached when the ratio of mainstays:new users without a clue and with belligerence far outweighing their productive posting, just gets thrown way out of whack. | ||

It was the gameplay depth and of course the awesomeness of being Star Wars that helped those games overcome the inherent problem of being set in a void Loved the back story in Tie Fighter, made me want to kill the rebel scum badly | ||

LP has been wrong most of the time, they just didn't switch the ranks when they updated the scores, I think. Ok checked the IEM site.... They got it wrong at their site. They listed Nerchio as 5-6 in maps where he is 6-5 (based on the reps they uploaded themselves) | ||

Game elitism pales in comparison to me. And it feels kind of light hearted anyway, a ton of personalities are open about liking LoL and other games as well.
