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. | ||

This as a counterargument to LoL taking no skill. Easy to pick up doesn't mean easy all the way... But yeah just silly sigh, just accept it, I still think it's a good thing for esports no matter what. | ||

You probably need about 30APM to play LoL at the highest level, it's not a very skillful game.. the only real skill required is having decent coordination in your team, the actual game is very easy to play. | ||

If so, it feels kinda wierd to have "esport game" where you are forced to buy shit to play on the same terms as the others. Like in WoW when it was a "esport game", it fucking sucked shit because some teams had the best items etc. You have no idea what you are talking about do you? In pretty much any game that includes items/skills/weapons that are considered imbalanced, unfair, bad or whatever you wish are restricted for tournament use. I'm not sure if LoL does but I'm sure the pros play with the same items. When wow arena was played in tournaments you could choose whatever gear you wanted within certain limits to make it fair for everyone. Not sure where you pulled that bullshit statement from that there was a item imbalance between teams in WoW tournaments. | ||

Problem with shooting games is there are WAY too many other options. if you thought the LoL/DoTA/HoN scene was bad, in terms of too many alternatives. Look at shooters, you have the CS clones like crossfire and combat arms/w.e fuck generic game. Those games are on WCG. Then for NA you have Halo/COD/Gears of War/ w.e big hit title. No one is going to want to play Quake. Thats just the truth. too many shooters that are in competitive leagues. is there really a need for a competitive COD league or a cs clone league? just play cs or quake, it doesnt make sense to have an alternative (not a sequel). To the people crying hypocrisy towards sc2 being used over bw, well sc2 is the sequel. it makes sense. | ||

I have played war3, LoL and some HoN through the years and I still dont get whats going on  That game needs a better spectating interface for once - I dont get how it attracted 200k+ viewers as it is. | ||

SC2 is a lot worse than BW, however, it isn't dumbed down in it's core.. It's just easier. Now, these dota games (and LoL is the easiest of them... ) are very simple in their cores. There are hardly any skills NOT in sc, yet you control a single unit. Surely players get good at controlling the single unit, but that's not much.Many will say it's a teamgame.. But QL TDM is also a teamgame; and it has a skillgap that's ten times as high. No offense meant to LoL players - it might be the most fun game for you, but it's obviously a crappy esport. Now, if only quake had such good backing... | ||

I doubt anyone has ever doubted that Quake takes the most individual skill out of any competitive fps in the western scene. That's not what he was trying to say. That's not what this is about either. Blame the gaming community for not supporting the game as much as they should. It's amazing, it's such a pity modern fps games just lack that depth. | ||

Not sure where you pulled that bullshit statement from that there was a item imbalance between teams in WoW tournaments. They play all the tournaments on a different client so I'm not entirely sure how it works out there, but everything you can buy with Riot Points (aka the microtransactions) can also be bought for currency you get after every game (influence points). The only limiting factor is time investment to unlocking everything if you don't buy Riot Points. The only strictly Riot Point thing is skins which just change the graphics of your character.

Any sooner and the tower would have killed him and any later and he wouldn't have been able to use his R to close the gap. Is it really that hard to realize what went on if you played DotA and other mobas before? | ||

. I can see LoL dying a silent dead like WoW tho, don't know what's so awesome about it + the fact that there's like 3/4 exact copies of the game doesn't really help. | ||
