Who plays League of Legends?

[darKz]

You see ropa, I was only saying that the prize pool is lower. It is lower. Move on.
We can talk again in a year or two. The burden of proof is on our side, yet Dota 2 only just took off in Korea and a large part of SEA. The time has not yet come.

Prize Pool != Popularity.

Popularity != quality!

Not that either game is particularly good.

And your only argument ropa is population. LoL has bigger playerbase not because its a better game, more prestigious or whatever, its only because Valve delayed the closed beta for far too long (im totally fine with that, population doesnt mean anything to me as long as its big enough) and Riot took their chance. At the time when Valve was spamming beta keys on steam, LoL had already majority of gamers sucked into the game. Take an example of schools, its a fact that over the past few years almost every kiddo whos into games is also into LoL and knows shit about Dota, lots of them even think that Dota is some poor copy of their game. You should probably know that among kids it looks like someone throws a title to a friend from the bench, then it goes to another friend, another class and so on. Youngsters are also blind to notice which game is better and why should they play the other one. They just play it because, well, everyone is playing it so why shouldnt they if its fun and everyone is talking about it. Other than that, ive met a lot of people of ages 17-2x that were turning from LoL (being ranked quite high there too) to Dota, stating why and it all comes down mainly to the simplicity the LoL has and the poisonous community, much more poisonous than Dota. Can you say it about people turning from Dota to LoL? Can you find any? Why they turn? I know some and the only 2 reasons is they couldnt get invite when they needed it so now they just play the other game (afaik its popular fact among LoL community) AND money (some of them get sponsored in LoL, tripping around the world playing lans). One of them actually was quite popular name back in 2008-2009 Dota, big name in HoN and now in LoL. He achieved some titles in HoN (low population), is now pretty much making a living thanks to LoL as his team is kinda succesfull and never ever dreamed of anything like this in Dota, as its so hard get any near to the top and think about some real sponsorship. He chooses LoL because its so much easier. As a side note, you know what ACE is? Afaik the biggest LoL population is in Asia, China and Korea in general. Im not into this drama, but there are rumours or facts that ACE and Riot is owned by the same company in china, as well as ACE's head is somehow directly involved with Riot (you might read a little about ACE and their system here. Then theres Korea with their Starcraft and LoL. Since this year, Nexon is already pumping money into Dota2 popularisation there, even higher amounts than LoL and afaik SC2 gets, and you can google about how big Dota is becoming there. It will take some time tho.

Not sure why i bother as you will be blind to so obvious facts anyway.

Games already top quality for being free with such high production values.

Same people hating on LoL are the ones that hate/d on WoW.

"Too mainstream".

Eventually, you'll have to understand that you can love mainstream for different reasons than the mass does. You can still be an unique snowflake while doing so.

But you will. You just cant pull any argument that would make sense against these facts, as you are in the first group of people i was talking about, except you have more springs.

I have no argument against: players of age X-Z move to Dota because the Lol community is poisonous and it's only played by kids.

I also have no argument against: my penis shoots laser.

You have an opinion, it just so happens to be an awful one. When you come with real reason or facts, I'll be willing to read, but I'm better off with the Bible or similar, has an equal bullshit to word ratio.

But these are real facts, maybe except the last line as i implied only a rumour which makes sense and never bothered to dig into it. Post is long, perfect occasion to just go troll about it claiming you wont even read it. You are not going to pull anything new you know. Why do you jump on these forums when everyone knows who you are, then?

[Aerox]

But these are real facts

where can I read about all these 20 year olds moving from one game to the other based on poison?



do we consider autobiography as source?

Ask around or reads comments in related sites (the ones other than the outgoing rage which game is better than other, there are also constructive ones you know), its not like theres this 1 special place where all of them gathers and complain

So you're telling me to subjectively browse the internet, subjectively pick opinions I value, subjectively count them in my head and then objectivelly present them as facts?

I hope you realize you're talking about opposite things.

And I'm sure no one in the LoL thread cares about your opinion on a game you clearly have an agenda against. Specially when you're so decided to shove it in our faces... eww dude, insecure much?
