3 terrible games not worth a player's time.

Do I win?

idk. im debating suing blizzard since i spent 70 bucks on diablo 3, couldnt even play it first 2 weeks, then i get an email from blizzard saying my account was hacked and all i had was a level 1 monk, they tell me buy their authenticator...fucking shit company.

[Kilbur]

Fun game.. Perfect for vaginas who complain about slow exp.. You can be lvl 20 and own in no time.., get that gold.. Maybe devnoob I there and will respond to your tells.. Sounds like a Win win for females

My name is jjfmarine

[Razdeline]

Yea all that hacking stuff was a joke.

Especially after my account got hacked (despite having the phone authenticator setup.) They basically told me the only way they ASSURE an account doesn't get hacked is if the account owner has one of the physical authenticator things.

Ok pal!

Thier failed system of having to play it online...

[EvilMallet]

you know those emails saying your account was hacked are fishing mails, right?

[Smilkers]

don't really know too many of y'all except Holey, but he's never online...
I'm on League with my same p99 name. really good with Kassadin (mid) , and I am decent/good with Taric (support).
would love to get some premades going, add me !
...I have never played ranked, however. roughly 1000 games blind pick total so far.

nice, im pretty awful at 1350's in S3 currently, should be able to push back into the 1500s no problem with singed, once there I'll see if you are down for duo ques. I play any role, my specialty is mid/top lane: Singed/Jax/Darius mostly and Malzahar/Heimerdinger for mid lane.

league of legends is a child's game which is rapidly descending into irrelevancy

at least heroes of newerth took the skill and balance from dota, LoL just took the general idea and combined it with Barbie's Playhouse for NES

[purist 4.0]

for literally 100% of LoL players, LoL is the first and only moba genre game they have ever played so they have no frame of reference for quality or skill.

it's like someone playing War Z as their first FPS and thinking it's amazing because they have nothing to compare it to.

[FoxxHound]

^^ lol

I started off with DoTA, and played DoTA back when it first came out on WCIII RoC. Played it all the way up until right around when Slark, Ancient Apparition came out. I started playing LoL a few months after it was released. With that being said. I've found LoL much more enjoyable, face paced, and in some cases more difficult. (Though the one thing I REALLY miss about DoTA was only being able to have 1 orb effect. You had to pick and choose. The one thing everyone else loved about it that I hate is denying. It slows things down, and whoever is better at last hitting/denying wins lane. As opposed to who is more dominant. Whether skill shots / offensive / baiting. Whatever.) Though I do miss the ole afk rice farm on AGI carries in lane, and the occasional ganking sometimes getting to the point of HOLY SHIT someone stop that guy *beyond godlike.

As far WarZ. I enjoy WarZ much more then DayZ despite ARMA being one of the best FPS games of all time. It just took what was good out of the MOD, and improved on it.

Now I know I am going to get the elitist tongue lashing.

[purist 4.0]

given that dota 1 is the gold standard of the moba genre

dota 1 -> heroes of newerth :: goldeneye 64 -> perfect dark
dota 1 -> league of legends :: superman 64 -> console gaming

As a 2k elo player I can confirm this.

I really don't understand why your dick is so hard for hating on LoL Purist. I mean everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this is a thread for people who PLAY LoL. If you don't play it, then why are you posting your nonsense? I mean, if you want to open up a MOBA discussion thread i'll gladly go there and list why i like LoL and i'll list what i like about Dota. Never played HoN so i can give no insight there; fuck i'll even talk about what i like about SMITE there too.

Really no reason for you to feel inferior because you don't like a popular game, but like the less popular one.

[Razdeline]

Hard to climb the ladder when you have a kid =/ The amount of focus and skill this game requires is far more than any game I have played in my life. Haters gonna hate, but not many game companies offering 5 million cash to season champions.

Ok I know you and diggles have down syndrome but I'll repeat my previous argument and see if you understand.

You state that league of legends is losing relevancy. They have recently become the most played game in the world, and there are more competitive events for it than ever before.

Being called on your logic fail, you can not address your own statement because quite frankly you don't know how to piece your sentences together; you probably saw the word irrelevant in a book recently and decided to put it in your post to sound intelligent, which actually caused the opposite effect.

So we can assume at this point that you don't understand the word 'relevant'.

Ex.

Trying to create an analogy that population = quality of game is not relevant to the conversation.

Since you and diggles aren't 21 yet and have never touched a tit, I can understand that you have a lot of pent up E-Aggression. After you go beat it to some pony porn take a calm look at the series of posts and you will see that you are, in fact, retarded.

Yeah I was camped top all game and that teemo built to counter me, rushing phage/mallet was smart on his part. Only died once to teemo other 2 deaths were in team fights, I carried my weight, you guys were fed as fuck before the team fight phase.

[Knuckle]

I also dont expect to get a killer K/D/R on singed but if you look at my record for season 3 my Singed isn't a slouch at all.

[OforOppression]

Clearly, we can tell this is true by the million dollar tourney's for dota 1. Oh wait...

Sorry but LoL is simply the better game.

http://www.dota2.com/international/mainevent/results/champions/

shut the fuck up unless you know what you're talking about you fucking tool

[OforOppression]

Oh, and before you say something completely retarded like "lol only a million" that's for the ONE team. Runners up and semifinalists also got cash.

When League has a "1 million tournament", that's a prize pool, the winner only gets like 500k split between 5 teammates. The rest goes to the runners up. (I think it's like the top 4 teams, I could be wrong, I just know its split)

[OforOppression]

All trolling aside, LoL is not a -terrible- game, but if you think it's on the same skill level as Dota you're out of your fucking mind.


triple post mad

[Knuckle]

cool bro you are so skilled.

[OforOppression]

^mad because crushed with facts

[Massive Marc]

The skill ceiling for both games is pretty high. Leagues just has more people with less skill, so its more apparent. Keep in mind though, just because a game is more complicated doesn't mean its better.

[OforOppression]

lol is the WoW of the genre

fun to play and fuck around with, but painful if you try to get srs about it

[OforOppression]

Hey I know you're a complete mother fucking downy and all but re-read my post you dumb fuck.

Also if you think Dota takes more skill then LoL you need to get your fucking head checked. If LoL were easy then why the fuck aren't you in those tourneys winning hundreds of thousands of dollars? Oh right because you're full of shit and you suck massive dick. Gtfo trash.

mad fanboy alert

dota 2 has taken over for dota 1 in tournaments because it's a lot easier to have valve host the tourneys with their own game.

also, lolmadfanboy, league is so simplified compared to dota it hurts. Hold your hand store, no denying, simplification of heroes, i could go on for days.

fuckin' downy.

[Bamzal Sherbet]

I looked at LoL once. reminded me of a flash player browser game like on facebook so i close

[OforOppression]

In fact, I think I will.

Piece of shit rune system that encourages locking yourself into a role, have to pay out the ass to expand your library (oh, I can't play sona, I only have an AD/Tank rune page), and makes you so massively overpowered against lower level players in normal matches it hurts.

Champion gated system; make you grind or pay cash to have access to essential elements of the game.

This is somewhat excusable by the free week rotation, but in all honesty, that's bullshit. Give me access to all my champs from day one, thanks.

This also causes issues in ranked (I don't understand why I have to pick between heroes or being more proficient with my IP, especially with the OP-every-two-weeks Hero release that riot does.)

Denying, a huge factor in outplaying your enemy in lane by taking away creep gold (also applicable with towers and heroes), completely gone because it "isn't fun". That's bullshit handholding

Invoker not being copied as a hero because of "burden of knowledge" and Invoker being too hard of a hero to play. (our playerbase is too retarded to play this hero)

Item shop is just bad. Not enough options, and everything is dirt cheap.

EDIT: Half of my points dont matter in tournaments because everything is unlocked for you, but we're not playing in tournaments so whatever

And the reason I'm not playing in LoL tournaments is because I'm not sitting in my house 24/7 getting paid to stream league of legends. I'm not the best LoL player ever, I never claimed to be, but I'm a lot higher ranked in LoL than I am in Dota.

I wont argue any of your points, I've always said LoL needs more stuff in place like DotA, and they have added lots of stuff as time has progressed. Maybe not everything, but lots.

funny thing is, you were mediocre at LoL, not sure how you can act like your a DotA champion now :/

EDIT: I also see you on LoL from time to time, so it can't be that bad.

[OforOppression]

I END THIS CONVERSATION WITH TWO THINGS (to prevent the shitting up of this thread further for my good pals foxx and marc)

He filled his role, farmed his lane, was a threat the entire time. He knows what he's doing and he isnt some mongoloid you are trying to out him to be.

You kids so bent over DOTA being so great, make a dota thread and recruit the 7 other people on this board to chat about how awesome 7 sec suppressions are. I play DOTA2, probably about 10 games a week, and it's for one reason. It sharpens my mechanics for last hitting on league. The rest of the game is fucking trash. End of story

1.) Rune system provides such a small benefit untill level 20 its laughable to say that rank 2 or 1 runes give a huge advantage. You will need to fill out some 'generic' rune sets until you farm more IP, oh well. Armor/MR/Movement/HP are beneficial for any champion in the game if you are throwing a fit about not being able to specialize in every single role with your runes on a new account.

2.) This makes absolute perfect sense, and is why the company is doing so well, players pay if they lose patience and want to unlock the champion they want. In ranked play fork over the bucks for the champions you want to use or farm the IP in normal matches, and work on your gameplay while your at it. The game would be 10x worse if all the kiddies had every champ opened up in their first game of ranked, I for one am glad they have to beg mom or dad for lol bucks to get a champion or two they want, or grind it out and improve in the process.

3.) The free champion rotation unlocks tanks/ranged carry/melee/mage/support every single week. 'Give me access to all champs with no effort/work, thanks' You have a gimme attitude from someone screaming about DOTA elitism.

4.) The irony of your statement of causing issues in ranked, so having people that could theoretically play the game less than a month have access to all champions and play ranked doesn't raise a flag with you. That's fine, except riot will not let you play ranked unless you own 14 champions, which guarantees you have at least a moderate line up of champions before playing ranked.

5.) 'Denying'. Ok so by last hitting your own minions you deny your opponents gold, I get it. It is one more thing to micro manage in a game; I enjoy last hitting in league of legends, I never cared one way or the other for denying your opponents in DOTA, I never saw it as an essential feature, you can 'deny' your opponents in LoL by forcing minions to their tower and harassing them while the tower beats on them, or by physically attacking the champion in the lane, or zone them out of minion farm period.

I enjoy the early aggression this creates in the lane phase, you may not enjoy it.

You may feel that killing your own minions to deny your opponent gold vs. killing/injuring them to prevent farm requires more skill and provides a greater sense of satisfaction to you. Good for you.

6.) Ok so your a fanboy of one specific champion from DOTA and it makes you upset that it's not in league of legends and you are certain it's because hes too hard to play, cool story bro.

7.) Item shop is bad? Not enough choices? I like the item shop, but I think more variety would make the game more fun, everyone likes more choices. I certainly don't think everything is too cheap. The game is designed to be fast paced and even if you are pushing a 60 minute match you often haven't completed your build even at that point.

8.)And the reason I'm not playing in LoL tournaments is because I'm not sitting in my house 24/7 getting paid to stream league of legends. I'm not the best LoL player ever, I never claimed to be, but I'm a lot higher ranked in LoL than I am in Dota

Sadly Riot know how to draw and use more than teh MS paint, even if they are swiping inspiration from other animation characters they're doing better than DOTA2's oddball creations.

If DOTA is to succeed it needs to rebuild its animations and playable characters from the ground up...harsh yet true facts.

literally every single LoL hero, all their abilities, and every item in LoL is a watered down carbon copy version of a dota1 hero, ability, or item.

LoL is just piggybacking on the work of dota1, poorly

Pendragon owned a website that hosted a lot of Dotas strategy guides (think Mobafire) and then took it down and said COME PLAY LEAGUE OF LEGENDS

None of the people in Riot were important to Dota1 except maybe guinsoo

Teams live in mansions based off the revenue from streaming alone.. combo that with huge prize pools for doing well at tourneys and it's pretty easy to see why competitive LoL is so enticing to "12 year old asian kids".

Until DoTA2/HoN have an e-sports/pro scene backed with huge prize pools like Riot has done with LoL it's pretty easy to see why it's on top.

It's like comparing Pokemon to the old M:TG pro scene.

[Noselacri]

DotA2 is a remake of a custom map made literally by some amateur a decade ago. It was kinda cool then and it provided a platform for eSports that wasn't just CounterStrike or Starcraft, but it was never so amazing that it would make sense to copy it directly in a professional production.

What a mistake that will prove to be as people discover that a) it's the same game they've already gotten tired of back in 2005 and b) it's the same game that was designed by a guy who had never been within spitting distance of a professional game development studio.

The reason LoL is such a huge success is because it borrows the concept and supports it with professional development, providing players with a game that's both new and of high quality. DotA is neither, there's a reason people no longer play the Warcraft version to any meaningful extent, and porting it to a shiny engine won't change that.

Pyrion Flax's guide to Dota2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f-jR3Vo3Rw)

Even if you just play League like I do, this video is hilarious.

http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/3149/pflax.jpg

I've watched a fair amount of Dota2 streams and even installed the game. It just doesn't stack up.

You could argue that Dota2 has more of an advanced map and that denying minions takes more skill. To me that's just more farming and less fighting. Sure it'd be cool to chop down trees, but I'd rather be able to hide in foliage.

I don't like how weak towers are in Dota2. I think there is a huge misconception about League players hugging towers and it weakening the action. Where as any good league player knows, towers are where exciting plays are made because of their deadliness.

The graphics in Dota2 just plain suck balls. Looks like the 1960s version of Class of the Titans. It seriously looks like fucking claymation. Everything is muddy. Now this could just be my inexperience with Dota2, but the spell effects when fights are happening all look generally the same and are pretty uninspiring. I can't shake the feeling that offensive moves just seem to look like they hit harder in League, they are more pronounced and flashy.

Dota2 players would argue that League looks like a shitty World of Warcraft inspired cartoon. It may have been true when the game was initially released, three or four years ago. It also doesn't help that 90% of the screenshots you see of the game are from the 2009 release and look like dog shit. But yeah, they are constantly improving their models and scrapping old ones. It's what you do when you have an immense dev team. I also enjoy the maps being so vibrant and easy to see.

The only thing that I really like about Dota2 are the character voices. So many lines of dialogue for each character depending on their actions. Where as in League they haven't fleshed it out much at all past standard taunt/joke commands.

tldr : League will keep getting more polished.
Dota2 will stagnate because the whole community is based on preserving something rather than pushing forward.

Matchmaking seeds you with people around your level, so I'm not sure how meaningful it is that a low level player crushed other low level players when you probably have experience with dota style games and RTS's in general.

So what are some of your favorite champs? I got a little attached to Caitlyn last week, and have really been enjoying Karma so far this week.

I have enough IP to purchase one, but I don't know whoooo.

[SamwiseRed]

annie, jk LoL is a terrible game but if i had to choose one if would be her.

[Samoht]

it depends on what you actually want to accomplish in the game. neither caitlyn nor karma are super picks in the current meta game. as far as ADCs go, the game play is pretty bland and homogenous no matter who you pick, and karma really isn't very good right now (never has been).

just a question, do you already have free tristana from facebook and alistar from youtube unlocked?

hybrid AP champs (elise, diana) are really good right now. i'd suggest learning them over caitlyn or karma any day. they can play three roles (top, mid, jungle). twisted fate is another decent hybrid, but he mostly plays mid. oh, and nidalee, too. she can top, mid, or support.

if you want to jungle, j4 is really well rounded. so is nasus.

if you want to support, pick up thresh and sona.

pure AP mids: ryze, orianna, kassadin

bruiser tops: zed, riven, renekton, jayce

I am not sure what 99% of the acronyms or LoL lingo you used in post means.

[Samoht]

1) adc = attack damage carries. champions that auto attack to do damage. they mostly build attack damage items. tristana, caitlyn, ashe

2) ap = ability power. champions that do most of their damage from spells and don't really auto attack. ryze, karma, orianna

3) jungle = champion spends the first half of the match levelling in the area of the map not designated as a lane while harassing opponents with random ganks in the lanes. when team fights start, he usually transitions into tank/initiator or some other type of support. jarvan iv (j4), xin zhao, lee sin

4) support = doesn't kill minions for gold so gets gold per 5 (gp5) masteries/runes/items. also referred to as "0 cs champs." often times has CC spells and heals/shields. soraka, sona, thresh

cs = creep score = minions killed with last hit awarding gold per match

5) bruiser = tank-like heavy melee champ that has abilities that enhance auto attacks and gap closers to help them keep up with kiters. riven, irelia, renekton

6) hybrid = champ has traits of one ore more of the above to make a more unique kit, but doesn't easily fall into one of the categories.
6a diana = melee auto attacking AP champ with shields and gap closer (tanky initiator AP auto attack omg)
6b elise = changes forms between spell caster (human form) and bruiser with gap closer (spider form)
6c twisted fate = ap champ that enhances his next ranged auto attack with spells. good candidate for building lich bane.
6d nidalee = literally everything rolled into one. elusive bruiser in cat form. ap champ chucking spears when out of cat form. can heal, too.

[Misto]

[FoxxHound]

I am paper mache elo! Almost up to card board :D

[Swish]

What some people do before a game starts is look up their teammates on a site like www.lolking.net and see how shitty they are.

Personally I love mid lane, solo top or jungle... no time for bot lane, too many retard ADCs but have been known to try to support with Kayle/Soraka. Soraka just reminds me of being an EQ cleric, keep eyes on people's health on the left of the screen and ulti as required. Problem is, playing pure support in LoL is boring as fuck... spamming Q for Soraka isn't really too fruitful.

[Kagatob]

On the fence as to whether or not I should take the time to give this game a try. I had played HoN for the better part of a year and while I wasn't amazing at it, I did love the way the game's mechanics worked (deny strategy in particular).
The thing that I did hate was the player base, it got to the point where I'd automute my entire team at the beginning of a match out of reflex because 99/100 times they'd be screaming their autistic asses off.

I heard the community in LoL was a lot better but the game is just a dumbed down version. Can anyone who's played both confirm/deny? Note: I've never played DOTA.

[Samoht]

LOL community not much better than HoN, but they do have a system that removes toxic players.

Dumbed down? Hardly. HoN has retardedly OP champs and requires you to kill your own minions as a "strategic" advantage. LoL fixes both of those, so I'd say it's more balanced or focused, but definitely not dumbed down.

[Kagatob]

Do they have something in place that replaces denying your opponent gold/xp as a strategy?

[FoxxHound]

I concur with the not dumbed down part. It's less about rice farming at more about making plays against your opponents.

[FoxxHound]

Do they have something in place that replaces denying your opponent gold/xp as a strategy?

Yes. If you consistently land hits on your opponents even if they have sustain they usually become intimidated making it rather easy to zone them. In LoL you interact more against the enemy champs then you do in say DoTA, HoN etc... In those you concentrate on just rice farming.

[Samoht]

Do they have something in place that replaces denying your opponent gold/xp as a strategy?

there is no strategy to denying, despite what HoN nerds say.

it's bad game design, plain and simple.

i'm willing to bet that it wasn't even intended in original DotA, but was so common that they left it in.

in LoL, you actually have to beat opponents, not just bore them to death.

[Kagatob]

...so there's no resource management in the game? It's just about the APM twitch clicking?

[Tiddlywinks]

What do you mean with your question? You can't kill your own minions to deny your laning opponents gold/experience. There is still a TON of resource management in the game. Laners need to work on last hitting during the laning phase in order to maximize their gold. Later in the game objectives such as dragons and turrets are important in gaining gold advantages over the enemy team. Commonly junglers will enter into the enemy jungle and kill the monsters that give the most experience/gold or try to steal buffs, leaving the enemy jungler disadvantaged (this is called counterjungling).

Rarely do games end with players having "full builds" which means all 6 of their item slots are filled up, so you're not going to be overflowing with gold, you need to spend it appropriately and buy items that give you the best chance of winning, you can't just buy anything you want and expect it to work.

Resource management is a huge part of the game.

[Tiddlywinks]

There's also the concept of zoning and pressuring in lane. Since you can't deny your lane opponents xp/gold by killing your own minions (denying) you can play aggresively, or have your jungler camp your lane to attempt to push your opponent out of xp/last hit range so they fall behind.

When your opponent leaves lane to shop you can shove your lane up so your minions die under a turret before your opponent makes it back to lane, thus "denying" them gold/exp.

[Kagatob]

Doesn't sound like I'd enjoy it then. I prefer the endgame. It's why I shit on Starcraft II so hard, there's no such thing as massive army vs massive army in that game, it's all microbase+APM memorize 2274572 hotkeys bullshit.

[Samoht]

It's why I shit on Starcraft II so hard, there's no such thing as massive army vs massive army in that game, it's all microbase+APM memorize 2274572 hotkeys bullshit.

I don't understand this statement. You mean YOU get shit on in SC2 because you have no micro?

[Ambrotos]

This answers everything you need to know.

[Kagatob]

I don't understand this statement. You mean YOU get shit on in SC2 because you have no micro?
I didn't play SCII enough to get to the level of getting "shit on" I got bored and quit about halfway through gold league, this was about a month after the leagues came out.

I don't know what have no micro means.
Having to rely on twitch clicking and spam hotkeying is not "strategy" it's twitch. If I want to play a twitch game I'll play Osu! or a FPS.
HoN had strategy and the more everyone posts about LoL the more it appears it's twitch over strategy. I've lost count the number of games that I've MVP'd in in HoN where I was nowhere near the top APM because that game goes far beyond twitch clicking.

You're welcome to try to convince me otherwise but so far you've achieved the opposite.
This answers everything you need to know.

Nope, need exprain.

[Tiddlywinks]

I don't think anybody cares to try to convince you of anything.

You asked questions, you got answers, and now only you give a shit about which you chose to play/not play. Best of luck, hope you have fun no matter what your decision is!

Problem is, playing pure support in LoL is boring as fuck...

Can tell you right now you do not play enough of the game if you're going to spout this nonsense. You are playing the lane wrong if you find bot lane to be boring. It's the most aggressive and dangerous lane to play because its a constant 2v2, with the option of it quickly becoming 2v3 or 2v4. Remarks like this irritate the fuck out of me.

Was going to say 2.5 million is half of what League was LAST year. This year it's going to be closer to 10 million total. DoTA is alright, but no where near as popular as League anymore.

Was going to say 2.5 million is half of what League was LAST year. This year it's going to be closer to 10 million total. DoTA is alright, but no where near as popular as League anymore.

and for good reason. league has streamlined everything to the point where joining a game and actually getting it started is so smooth that dota2/hon cloned it's start-up process.

none of the champions in league are game breakingly OP, and they're constantly tweaking things to keep it balanced.

and i still LOL every time someone brings up denying as an added level of strategy. killing your own units to win is an insane requirement.

Played 5 rounds last night.

Round 1: Got my ass kicked as Ashe (fucking around with controls learning items etc.) team still somehow won. Kept trying to deny when I should of went full rambo because the other team was a pile of pussies. Finished 3/5 or 3/6

Round 2: Played Diana thinking she'd be like the Moon Queen (Boy was I wrong) I did alright, spent most of the round pushing to a good early start, we got out carried in the end though. Finished 6/8 ish

Round 3: Fizz, decided to go full rambo for the hell of it and built anything with hp/mana regen and cooldown reduction. Went 9/2 or 9/3 and the game was over in under 20 minutes which disappointed me because I wanted to see how I'd do against a built up carry.

Round 4: Fiddlesticks, We had a good support on the team so there was constant ward coverage. Ganked the fuck out of their jungle, another short game. Would of went X/0 but I got cocky in their base.

Round 5: Tried Ashe again and went rambo carry this time, early game went a hell of a lot better than in round 1 but I ended up getting out carried/itemized. My team was very uncommunicative and I got zero suggestions on how to endgame. Is lvl 18 the maximum level? :confused:

Impressions: Some people say this game is the streamlined version of HoN/DotA, some people say WoW is the streamlined version of EQ. I think you know where I'm going with this.
It seems like every hero or 'champion' gets 4 activated abilities and only one passive and every fight turns into a dumpfest. Once you get the system down every game ends up being the same thing having much less to do with the macrostrategy and more to do with individual hero battles. No penalties for death makes ganking much less of a necessity because it puts that much smaller a dent into anyone's farming strategy.

I can see how some people can like it, but like I said, WoW vs EQ. I'm an EQ player. :)

and i still LOL every time someone brings up denying as an added level of strategy. killing your own units to win is an insane requirement.
Compare to:
and i still EQ every time someone brings up traveling as an added level of immersion. Waiting up to half an hour for a boat to go to a zone that might already be full is an insane requirement.
Strategy is strategy much like immersion is immersion. You can't have your cake and eat it too bud. :cool:

considering that DotA2/HoN came out of league of legneds, it's kinda hard to tell where you're going with this. are you saying that the predecessor is better? i can agree.

or maybe you just understood the usage of the acronym LOL.

[Kagatob]

considering that DotA2/HoN came out of league of legneds, it's kinda hard to tell where you're going with this.

Firstly I said DotA, not DotA2, secondly HoN and LoL were both based upon DotA, HoN was in no way based upon League in it's initial development and both games borrowed ideas from each other as they continued development. Your argument would have merit if it wasn't full of made up non-facts. :)

Hmm got confused by this.

[Soandso]

And also all the links saying that The International 3 was the highest prize pool is esports history. IDK. Anyway not saying prize money is any reason to play a game just thought it was cool. Dota2 still major leagues.

[Kagatob]

Change what? I directly quoted you bolding the key error in your statement.

[Samoht]

we can't pretend that you didn't try to take me saying DotA2 out of context and using DotA at your will instead if you agree to stop pretending you're right.

Why are you suddenly bringing in DotA2? It has nothing to do with anything in this conversation.

This is called clarifying the original point.

I used DotA specifically DotA2 has nothing to do with anything that I said, if I wanted to say something about DotA2 I'd say "DotA2". You're the only one here trying to will words into different meanings. If you don't understand this, it's your problem not mine. :)

[Samoht]

wtf are you even talking about. i said dota2 modeled after league. you insisted on talking about dota instead. nobody plays that trash any more.

[Kagatob]

I'm talking about the games from the genre and views that people have had over the past few years, hence the mention of DotA (you know that game that created the genre?) Why would I talk about a game that's been out for less than a month (DotA2 for the contextually inept) that I haven't even played when I'm making such a comparison?

That's enough with the English lesson though, you've proven enough just how incapable you are of learning.

[Kagatob]

Back on topic.

Impressions: Some people say this game is the streamlined version of HoN/DotA, some people say WoW is the streamlined version of EQ. I think you know where I'm going with this. Samoht, I'm asserting that in my opinion League of Legends is dumbed down and simplified when compared to the other games in the genre. The same feelings that the bulk of EQ players have for WoW, do you get it yet? ;)

It seems like every hero or 'champion' gets 4 activated abilities and only one passive and every fight turns into a dumpfest. Once you get the system down every game ends up being the same thing having much less to do with the macrostrategy and more to do with individual hero battles. No penalties for death makes ganking much less of a necessity because it puts that much smaller a dent into anyone's farming strategy.

Too OP?

[Soandso]

I wouldn't say TOO OP but a little OP. Some skills need a longer cool down. More annoying is seeing him insta picked first every game.

[Kagatob]

Feeling the same way about Solomon in HoN right now. No stuns or anything 'useful' so he's horrible to lane with, but he's a melee carry with a passive that gives him bonus gold on creep kills and an ult that gives instant win in almost any 1v1 fight... Nuff said about him.

There's a reason I've been playing lots of crowd control lately. :)

[JonathanHancock]

Windrunner WRECKS him. Make SURE he focuses his charge and you and the instant he's about to hit you, activate windrun. He'll both waste his ult on you (it'll still stun you) but you'll be impervious to all enemy autoattacks including SB's auto-stuns.

With a Force Staff ready you can tank SB's attacks for the duration of windrun then Force out right before it drops. Cuz he'll prolly focus you every time after he ults you, then

[Nuk3Afr1ca]

Just made gold in LoL playing Riven. Does anyone still play this game? Who is the highest elo on here? Crazycloud? I saw he was plat 5 or something.

[Swish]

Not got into ranked sadly, had too long away from the game and need to learn about 12-14 champions that weren't there before. Just the standard games are entertaining at the moment. Fuck up once in a ranked game and the nerd rage reaches epic levels within 5 minutes of the game starting....srs buzniz.

Could probably do Volibear or Rengar in ranked, but I'm distinctly average with other champions and refuse to play Master Yi (still OP/broken), Tryndamere or any of the other YOLO swag picks.

Really enjoying ARAM at the moment when I get time to play, shit is fun and has helped me learn the mechanics behind a bunch of the newer champions I hadn't previously seen :p

Riven seems great when she gets some momentum going. Thought about spending RPs but I'll wait to use her on a free to play week first I think :p

[Malphite]

There's a few mid tier diamond players on our server, i can't remember their forum names tho i just know them on league.

I could go from gold to plat if all I do is play the same 3-5 champs over and over, but it's extremely boring, so it's making me want to quit playing. Anything gold or higher feels more like a job than fun. If you don't plan to play on a pro LoL team....what's the point.

[Dirkus]

Gold 4 here. My IGN is "Dirkus" if anyone wants to play.

[JonathanHancock]

New Favorite Dota2 Hero Commentator: Witch Doctor!!!!

He's got this long duration 12 second DoT that does huge damage. If you drop it on someone and they run (but it's gonna kill em) he says things like "wait for it....wwaiiittt for itt!!!" then bursts out laughing when they die.

This is especially funny because the enemy hero can also hear him saying "wait for it" as they desperately run towards the fountain!!!

[JonathanHancock]

Also, seriously, fuck League of Legends.

LOL was my first MOBA, never played DOTA, but DOTA2 is so far beyond League it's not even funny.

Course the FINAL nail in the coffin for me was the simple fact that Riot games reinvests NOTHING of teh fortunes they make. They still have shit-terrible servers, and they still have SEVERAL OF THE SAME BUGS THAT HAVE EXISTED SINCE ***BETA***

It's just hard for me to continue supporting a company that gives nothing at all back to their player(customer) base, while simultaneously charing ****$25**** for single hero skins.

I still think it's a great game -- but i simply cannot support such a company. Just goto the LOL "Tribunal Ban Inquiries" forum and read about some of the shit people have been PERMABANNED for; it's completely asinine and completely ridiculous (when the people in question have often spent the entire game in question being harassed, who all gang up to report him cuz he said something like "fuck you" back to them ONCE the entire time)

LoL is great, you just have to tolerate/ignore the community that plays as much as possible. If you can get 5 people to all accept a role at the character selection then the rest of the time they can generally be ignored - just be good and ping for missing enemies etc :p

DOTA2 on the other hand. I wanted to play but I couldn't get a key, they were far too rare... ::trollface::
