This isn't going to turn into another LoL vs (all other games apparently) thread. You can speak your mind about the selection of games but keep it civil. | ||

So it's : Take game - copy - make casual - make f2p- add micro-transactions - add commercials and promote game in tournaments - print-screen 200k viewers- go to forums and post it with big trollface and "u mad?" words.

You could have print screened 200k viewers at any point the stream was on which is undoubtedly the biggest factor in this whole thing. | ||

And they didn't make that money because of their good looks. The other explanation other than their good looks, Riot Games sold a majority stake in the business to the Chinese Google equivalent for what we can only assume was a dump truck full of cash. If you look on their investor page, they state outright that their are financially backed by Tencent Holdings. Also, I have not seen any audited financial statements for Riot Games, so I would call into question your assertion of $400M, that is the estimated (financial details of the deal were not officially released) valuation of the company which is a multiple of its true financial performance. Tencent paid a premium to eliminate the two other venture capital firms that had a stake in the startup. Short answer, to Tencent Holdings, Riot Games looked like it was worth less on paper today than it could be in ten years, and they are willing to gamble on that fact to the tune of $400M. So, in a way, they did choose them for their good looks, but taking the purchase price of a business with the multiple as its "worth" is sophomoric of the first order. By that logic Apple is worth $300B, and LinkedIn is worth $7B. | ||

Did that with Starcraft 2 too, they took BW, - copy - make it easier- SHINY GRAPHICS - make casual - profit!. See how much that makes sense? | ||

With LoL's playerbase, if the game was so easy to master, you would see like 100 top teams that could all compete near equal with each other, which isn't the case. Because 90% of LoLers need 5-7 years to become independent from school and parents, and then they will compete in "top". User was warned for this post | ||

People don't seem to understand that LoL has high level competition, if there was no skill then there would be no stand out players. But there are players that are way better than the average or even the really good players, if it was so easy then everyone would be able to compete with the best. People said the same thing about SC2, and while there isn't that huge of a gap between the pro and the high masters/grand master players who don't play it competitively it's still very noticeable in competition. | ||
