I like it, it's pretty casual gameplay for me. But what's neat is they have a nice and healthy competitive e-sport coming from it. This was the first MOBA type game I've actually enjoyed. Didn't play the original dota and Heroes of Newerth's player base is so full of filth I can't imagine anyone wanting to learn in that environment.

Definately the best free to play game I've ever played. I like Riot games as a company - they keep the player base interested and informed with their champion spotlights. Very community friendly developer.

The game ticks all the boxes in my opinion - I still enjoy Starcraft 2 a lot more because RTS is my favourite.

OH, I also play Annie in LoL

I really hate lol. The graphics are cartoony and annoying, the community is terrible, the game is so noob friendly that its just obnoxious. I've played heaps and i just cant get passed any of these issues.

It saddens me that these streamers get such high viewership. Too many kids.

[ToRsupapower]

LoL gets so many views because It's free and very easy to learn, dreamhack last year got something like 160k views while SC2 almost hit 80k or 100k something crazy high, like world record high for SC2.

If sc2 wasn't P2P (meaning you buy it to play) then it would definitely get views like SC2, it's pretty crazy, like an avid streamer named Dyrus was streaming at one point just playing ranked games (equivilent to ladder) and got 40k people watching him, that's like all SC2's IPL4 viewers, not to mention IPL4 league of legends had like 120k constant viewers on the live games while SC2 had 30k.

Imo right now LoL is taking the scene, and very fast as well.

And about the community, well it's basically shit. And that's because the League of Legends community doesn't have such a strong, strict community unlike starcraft 2, which is basically led by Teamliquid, which is quite strict tbh, that's what stops trolling in sc2 and that's the only way to put it.

You can go into a game and get trashed talk all game for something that isn't your fault because as humans when we do something wrong we try to think of excuses, in some way LoL can help teach you important life lessons. When you do learn to suck up stuff you realise what you're doing wrong and can work it out to become a better player.

And to TCPtitan Matchmaking doesn't work like that, not anymore at least, you can't be matched against level 30s unless you're premade with one or you actually are lvl 30.

The other thing that helps League be so acknowledged in the Esports community is that it's makers actually follow the game and try promote it with as many tournaments and prize pools as possible they are having a 2 million $ prize pool event at the end of the year, where-as blizzard basically money whore it and don't help the community (they're starting to now though). Riot also listens to most players and make constant updates to the game, every 2 weeks.

They have released a patch so now you have the option to turn off enemy/all chat

[TASlowHands]

P good game eh. I reckon it helps my micro as well, fungle is easy as hell to cast compared to landing all your skillshots

[ToRSpookToR]

no one bloody cares if you hate LoL....

Quick Comments

Jaywalk:

pretty sure the point of this thread is to discuss the game.

[Dox]

Akali is a pretty cool ninja and she doesn't afraid of anything

[Meatex]

Only thing I dislike with LoL is I can't use middle mouse to scroll my camera around ala SC2
If they had that I may have played it a bit more :S

[Takiah]

So...why aren't you guys playing with us? :P

[PulseSPR]

For me, All DOTA games including LoL is terribly boring. I don't feel like moving back and forth frequently using the same 2~4 skills for 40 minutes playing the same style with each characters and buying the same lines of items for each characters, i consider that retarded and boring. Its just my opinion.

[PulseSPR]

I would play WoW Starter Edition over LoL. :P

Just saying, even if blizzard DOTA comes out, i don't think ill be playing it

[cruxis]

So you won't play Dota games, because you consider them boring and plain.

Consider this.

What exactly makes Starcraft so unique every game? Generally, buildings are placed down in the same order at the same time. Wouldn't this be "going back and forth and using the same 2-4 skills every game" ?

So I guess every dota character is the same. Just like every Starcraft race is the same.

Hell, in fact, i think every game ever is exactly the same. Why are companies making new games when they are all boring going back and forth with like 2 or 4 skills?

Thanks for your amusing reply.

I was playing LoL a lot before the last arena lan, got addicted to farming like a madman with morgana.

Also like playing as Annie and Fiddlesticks, but don't know how to play any other of the heros ;P

I like how learning LoL builds is a similar process to learning sc2 builds, only easier.

Nothing goes back and forth doing same things over and over again for 40 minutes in starcraft. There are already 10 variations JUST ON 1/1/1 Builds in Terran race.

So you don't admit that there are 5 skills on each characters?

Thanks for your nice tone and your amusing reply.

Items can further customise your character, then there's all the duel and team combinations to vary it even more.

I'm sorry if your stupidity prevents you from enjoying the genre.

How the heck is personal opinion my stupidity? I don't like the game, I've said it why. There is no reason to offend me mentioning how stupid I am.

I'm not stupid enough to not play the game at least 10 times and say the game sucks.

What a nice tone, thanks again.
