In LoL you can just chill while you're dead or simply teleport back. You have somewhat ingame interaction, chat with people, don't feel lonely. Those things make LoL a better game for me. Afterall game should be fun and relaxing. I can understand your feelings~ but for me in SC2 I didn't really get frustrated as much as I see other people getting. Even when I played in BW I didn't get upset just.. got too intimidated to even play games anymore because of how good people were and how difficult I thought the game was. Going from BW to SC2 was a sort of relaxing transition for me from all the new mechanics and the units. I guess I was too busy enjoying the new game to even feel flustered lol. I've been playing LoL for over a year now and I've felt more rage playing it than both BW and SC2 combined hehe. | ||

And LoL has already started working on several barcrafts http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=12923085 Please don't make up stuff, I don't like LoL that much either, but to shit on it or to lie about it isn't cool. What are you talking about? The viewerbase has not shrunk considerably lol. The most viewed event was Providence in November and this GSL finals had 3 times the usual amounts of live viewers which caused GOMTV to crash. | ||

Hopefully Korean MOBA pros will all switch over to DotA 2 once it's open beta or final release, for the sake of eSports. SC2 is a game for people with more individuals skills and handspeed, aka pros, and noobs find it hard to keep up with the game and constantly get pwned, whereas LoL is more noob friendly coz it requires alot less individual skills. Since there are always more noobs than pros in the world, LoL will be more popular than sc2. | ||

I've been playing LoL for over a year now and I've felt more rage playing it than both BW and SC2 combined hehe. I never rage in LoL or in SC2. Part of the reason is that I don't care about my ranking. I don't even know what my elo is, and I don't know how to look it up (I'm 30th level for long time). In sc2 I didn't care about my ranking either. I just hop in and try to play some games, have fun, do my stuff - some interesting builds. But in reality, I tend to get frustrated and exhausted. And I feel I wasted my time. Thats why I feel LoL (or maybe any other MOBA) is a better game. I understand its a casual game. But seriously, does someone want to waste their leisure time for "hard-work" game? On a side note, BW was fun and forgiving. In sc2 one mistake - you're dead. Thats what it makes so frustrating. Its just my opinion. Feel free to ignore. | ||

I wonder what he wants to do as a coach in LoL. I mean, he can't observe them as theyre laddering and what would he have to say? 'You have to farm faster!' 'You have to aim that skillshot 2mm lower' ... Wtf? | ||

They're in a team house, and most top teams scrim a lot in customs, so he could always spec there, too. As for coaching... "You're focusing a lot on trying to keep him out of lane. I know you're practicing a strong style for that, but play smart and think in the long-term: if you don't make any mistakes and die yourself, you will eventually force him out of lane by attrition anyway. Farm first should be your mindset here." "Your positioning is generally pretty bad compared to other top junglers right now. Always keep an eye on the momentum of each lane so you know when to be on which side of the map for potential ganks. You should be able to stay mostly on one side without missing too many creeps." It's like going from BW to SC2 again. So much over-simplification -_- | ||

Major LoL tournaments regularly have 100k+ people watching. Top streamers double... right. But when you go down 2 or 3 ladders in the streamer numbers, the guys tat are streaming below that have way lower numbers than the SC2 streams. So it is fine, the streaming numbers for players is still higher in SC2 and more spread out, wich is good. | ||

All this other stuff about comparing LoL and SC2 is pretty odd to see. But hey, sometimes I like to compare apples and oranges (without any hard numbers) from time to time too >  | ||

So it is fine, the streaming numbers for players is still higher in SC2 and more spread out, wich is good. I did some research on this. One player that would be considered the top in LoL recieves more stream views then every single sc2 stream combined. This was the exact same time of day as well. Of course this changes with time of the day. but you can't say that LoL isn't more popular than sc2, we would be lying to ourselves. Though just because LoL is more popular doesn't mean sc2 is dying. Nor does it mean LoL is an eaier game. You can't directly compare them. LoL has its own skills needed to play, and so does sc2. They both require a different skill cap and make use of different skills. Saying LoL is easy is not exactly true. In high level games you have to consider a ton of different factors. Same with sc2. You coudl say low level games (bronze/silver) are easy, which would be true, but once you get to a high skill level, it isn't so easy. The game gets harder as people get better. but again we can't directly compare them, only way we can compare them is by which one we enjoy more. some enjoy sc2 more, some snjoy LoL more. We shouldn't bitch and compain about LoL though. Its a game like any other, people enjoy said game. Its like people botching that sc2 is too easy compared to bw, even though true. It just causes more tension between the two communities. Lets not have that. Esports is Esports is Esports | ||

Which game hold higher status in Esport is different story though. | ||
