LCS - "sport"

[nomis]

LoL is free and easy as **** isn't it?

Nothing more to be said. I like starcraft better than all those games personally, and still really enjoy watching pro sc2 games, kinda sad to see how a game like League is overshadowing it. League wasn't bad for like a month, got tired of it pretty quick though.

I never played LoL once. I got into Dota 1 while bootcamping for CPL 2005. Prior to that I had never touched the game. I feel like it took a few months to really feel comfortable randoming and playing any hero decently. So by the end of that summer I was hooked and playing a lot. I don't know when LoL came out, but every time I've heard of anyone talk about it, Ive heard the same thing over and over... It's easy. I enjoy competition, thats whats fun to me. I have no interest in playing an easier game.

Also Valve is backing dota 2. This year's International is at $2.5 million and counting. $1 million+ came directly from a % of community purchases (the compendium). I like where dota 2 is going and who's behind it. Good for Riot, but I'll take Valve. Also it just came out of beta. Who knows how much more popular dota 2 can get now.


P.S. Geek Jason says : "I dont see Weta Workshop (production house of LOTR and many other movies) making custom real life LoL items."

You're the one who brought up dota, fyi. I played LoL for a couple months while DR was learning it for his work producing videos. It was fun to run around on blitzcrank and start roaming at level 1 and still win, but it's not a game that was any fun to play seriously.

i was about to write a detailed post explaining why league is so much worse,

but league is just a joke compared to dota.

its like comparing futsal to actually football. Sure, it takes some skill but its void of any real strategy/teamwork.

ah, videos like that give me such hope for humanity. I guess hes on point with regard to the gaben.
