League of Legends

you still can... but you probably want instant gratification instead of a gated system that makes sure you know how to play a champ before you attempt to play them in competitive play

I don't play any game competitively. I just play for fun after work. I didn't know we were talking about competitive play. I can't comment on that style of DOTA2 or LOL.

Hmm that's kind of a strange concept to me. I don't mean to say that League isn't fun.. but if I were not playing to do my best, improve, and ultimately win then it would become pretty non-fun fast for me.

I can only have fun on a MOBA if I'm playing competitively.. otherwise I would go play a game with a story or something.

I guess LoL has lore.. but fuck if I care about that stuff lol.

Do you play on a team and go to competitions and shit? I could never play a video game competitively, you have to treat it like a job.

Lol nah, I am gainfully employeed. I just compete when I play is what I meant. Like even if I'm playing with friends, if they are sucking consistently or are tooling around I'll probably not play with them. The whole point of the game in my eyes is competing and doing your best to win.. it's the only way I have any fun.

dota 2 is like watching your grandparents try and fuck unsuccessfully.

lol is like actually being heather brooke's husband.

DotA2 is much, much harder. Which is probably why more people play league. Denying in DotA2 can completely fuck someone so it's a massive part of the game that makes it more challenging.

I'll probably go back to DotA2 eventually but I got burned out after their international tournament. DotA2 doesn't have a visible rating system (MMR, elo, etc.) something I can't stand but a week before the T13 I got matched up against two players from dignitas. So I am assuming I am up there in their invisible ranking system.

Since there's no way to play lower level bracket games unless I spoof which sucks every single game I was queuing for was insanely competitive. To me that's not fun which is why I am playing league right now.

Even after you hit 30 in league you can still play non ranked games, something I am really happy about. I think DotA2 has more skill based aspects to it. Definitely more oh shit moments. If you're up against someone better than you, you're going to know it during the laning phase.

And the argument for DotA2 being slower I never really got. Game picks up after laning phase.

Seems like the only way to liven up DOTA2... bring in the Korean shoutcasters.
