I don't see how people can compare it to Dota2 and HoN, which are the comp MOBA games. Just because it has a big price pool, meh. I think something needs to be said as well. People say "But like 200,000 people watch all the LoL streams! It's popular!" Fun fact: The stream is built into the game browser. So if you're on the browser of the game, changing runes or talking to friends or whatever, you're technically " watching" the stream -- even if you dont even know it's going on or watching it at all. That's not true. Please stop spreading false information. There's a link in the LOL client which links to the stream. You are not automatically watching the stream. Then I don't know if they changed that, because when I played a few months back, it was not like that. It used to be that if you were in the client, you were "watching" the stream. I remember a decent sized uproar going on about it roughly when I quit a few months back, so maybe they slipped it into some patch notes. Who knows. *shrug* These types of comments just prove my point that sc2 fans are scared and quite possibly jealous. It's quite hilarious. It's 200k people for real, and has nothing to do with stream advertising. Even weekly tournaments (the equivalent of eu weeklys for sc2) will get upwards of 40k-70k viewers with no link anywhere in the LoL client. I'd be scared too if my top players were all commenting about how shitty the game is. You mean like how top LoL player complain about how crappy the game is, and how the game is usually decided in the first 10 minutes? None of them say that because it's blatantly false... Chaox was complaining about that because they lost the finals against M5 by getting counterjungled and outlaned to all hell.
But then the M5 vs. CLG.eu was everything but snowballing. People get salty when they lose and say dumb shit all the time. BW pros and SC2 players are little different.

honestly if anyone has ever complained about bnet2.0 or any thing in the sc2 ui you've obviously never played lol. It has no replays (thats not a third party program) there just recently was spectating, and it crash's more then you can ever believe.
the one thing that it has over sc2 is reconecting. If that was added to sc2 I think it would fix a lot of the lan problems.
|
These types of things are dead to me to be honest... who cares. Let him play the game he likes more. I play LoL to relax cause I find controlling 1 unit and a couple of abilities much easier than controlling an army and microing / macroing. If Destiny wants to play LoL let him. I don't see why anybody needs to get so defensive that they feel they need to insult either game.
|
hahaha, another kid who has never played LOL seriously at all, but thinks he can make a judgement on it. League of legends takes a certain awareness and coordination that you would never need in sc2. In SC2, you can win a ton of games by just becoming a very good mechanical player and doing the same thing all the time (Obviously creativity is rewarded, but not required. See: Ret). Plus starcraft 2 isnt even hard. Try playing BW.

so funny when sc2 fanboys start crying when their beloved progamers start telling how sc2 really is

Why is it that when LoL is compared to SC2, everyone says that it’s a “noob game” that “take no skill”. What you guys should say is:
- “SC2 had a good run, but even good things will come to an end.” - “LoL doesn’t take less skill, it’s just more focus on strategy! Who wants to see progamers macro anyway?” - “When MVP makes the switch we will se the full potential of LoL. Can’t wait!” - “Saying that LoL is an inferior game is just nostalgia!”
Sounds familiar? Think about it the next time you QQ about “BW elitism”.

People are enamoring themselves on futile discussions such as: SC2 Vs LoL Debates, Destiny Bashing, and What is "skill" and how do you judge it? This went downhill hard after page 6.....only thing I can say to the above is, team games will always collectively take less INDIVIDUAL skill than a 1v1 game, no bashing, and that is a whole other can of worms.

im sorry it took you this long to realize that

ok i understand destiny saying DoTA takes more skill than sc2 because in some ways that is correct. DoTA requires so much team communication and chemistry and has the skill ceiling up the sky. I think individual's skill level is much harder in SC2 because only one controlling everything is the player. However, it's so crucial in DoTA to have a stable team to succeed and have good communication between players. LoL? It might be similar to DoTA in the sense that teamwork is crucial but the game got really dumbed down in a bad way (not like BW -> SC2 but stuff like no deny, free blink).

As someone who plays both sc2 and dota 2 at a semi high level (high enough to occasionally hit pro players on the ladder in both games).
I think sc2 is a lot more mechanically demanding and benefits a lot more from just grinding out games to make sure you always spot things on the minimap and execute stuff well, things like that Dota on the other hand is a lot more dynamic game, and it's more about being able to make on the fly decisions, juking, being able to judge whehter I should use this dd rune to push or to gank, things like that. Even hero drafting is a very large part of the game, that obviously decides how the entire game is going to play out, and good drafting is a lot more advanced than it may look like at first glance.
Personally though, I think sc2 is the harder game to play at a high level out of the two, but they're such different games that focus on different aspects entirely, that they probably should'nt even be compared in the first place.

Want to know what's worse than a fanboy?
One that can't admit it.
No one is saying LoL "takes no skill", we're saying it doesn't take more skill competitively than Starcraft. I don't even really watch Starcraft anymore, I mostly watch and play Moba games these days and I can still recognize that. That doesn't make SC2 a "better" game, or a more fun to watch game, or a more popular game. It just means it has a higher skill ceiling in its competitive area.
Yes, Starcraft fans in this thread are being extremely pretentious. But, surprise surprise, you're on a fucking forum dedicated to Starcraft and Starcraft related discussion, news, streams, and events. A forum that is arguably the most pretentious of forums on the entire internet. We are all elitists, that's why we come here instead of Battle.net or whatever. So don't kick and cry when people defend their game on their forum.
If we made this same exact thread on the LoL forums, everything would be switched and there would be a SC2 fan in your position making a similar post making fun of "LoL fanboys." You see how this works?
And please, stop trying to say what it's "like" and let's talk about what it "is" for once. Not to mention, as many have said before, this entire argument is entirely arbitrary. No one is going to change a fanboys mind over an internet discussion. Yes, I called you a fanboy. We're all fucking fanboys here, every last one of us for our own opinions. We come to threads like these to reaffirm and gratify our own ideas by trying to smash on others and make them look stupid or wrong or whatever. No one is going to convince anyone of anything on a subject like this. So I don't know why we make a thread like this.

1.6 takes so much more skill than Quake 3! You have to coordinate your team and have perfect chemistry otherwise you get demolished in a matter of seconds! All you have to do in Q3 is grind out games to make your aim and movement better! Any idiot can do it!!! No strat needed at all...
//
Quake 3 is the true FPS e-sports! None of this casual Counter Strike bullshit, with randomness in your shots, and god it's so fucking sloooow i could play it with my eyes closed! Try hitting a strafe jumping target going at 300 mph while remembering your items timing! And no reliance on teammates either mano a mano motherfuckers (or rather rockets vs rockets...)!

You are not really getting my point are you? What’s funny about this thread isn’t that people think that SC2 takes more skill than LoL (or vice versa). The funny thing is that SC2 fans cry when people say that BW takes more skill (“It is a totally different game, we can’t see the potential of SC2 until Flash switches, SC2 is more focused on strategy!”) while proceeding to bash LoL for being a noob game with easy mechanics. Double standard much?
