Orbwalking is a term borrowed from a specific game to mean something different in league. it'd be like calling every time you get hit by a skillshot being "fragged". Except it's not that confusing because the League community consistently uses the term orbwalking and knows exactly what they mean by it. Like, I agree the origin is kinda fucked, but the LoL community has just adopted orbwalking to mean stutter stepping and the only people I see complain about it are people that also play Dota, not people that just play LoL. | ||

There's also a descriptive easy to understand term instead of "fragged", it's called "rekt" also nobody ever says orbwalking that's a term from some shitty game nobody plays | ||

How many people in this category do you think even know that orbwalking originated in dota as something different? | ||

This isn't confusing, because people who aren't confused by it, aren't confused by it. Similarly how many people do you think know that Nashor is just Roshan backwards from dota and probably an even smaller group even know that Roshan and thus Nashor was named after a bowling ball? or that person getting a rampage means much different things between dota and league of legends. | ||

I never noticed Nashor was Roshan backwards. I can never look at League the same ever again. | ||

Then again, I've noticed hard carries in DoTA can legit 1v5 carry vs. fed LoL ADC's who still need help from team. | ||

Then again, I've noticed hard carries in DoTA can legit 1v5 carry vs. fed LoL ADC's who still need help from team. Melee carries are bruisers. The league community just has these huge misconceptions around the term melee carry that's warped the term into meaning something else. | ||

Then again, I've noticed hard carries in DoTA can legit 1v5 carry vs. fed LoL ADC's who still need help from team. A lot of people playing LoL associate the concept of melee carry specifically with only glass-cannon 5-damage-item melee DPS heroes (analogous to ranged carries) when in fact such a hero is rare in both games. The broad concept of melee carry as it exists in DotA applies more generally to the class of heroes typically referred to as "bruisers" in LoL, which is conceptually realistic, and common in both games. EDIT: Also, the problem with the term "orb-walking" as it's used by the LoL community actually has nothing to do with the term's root in DotA terminology. Rather, it's the fact that the proper term "animation canceling" is still used when referring to cancelling the backswing on spells. So now you have two different terms ("orb-walking" for autoattacks, and "animation canceling" for spells) that refer to the same physical action when there's no real need for the distinction at all. | ||
