FtP multiplayer game that is somewhat accessible

Lying about numbers

Really? Well anyway

It's F2P, its easy to get into, all it requires for instant satisfaction is landing your skillshots and having a basic understanding of what you are supposed to do

No wonder why it does so well compared to other MOBAs

Very likely a lie, they just want to remind players who moved over to Overwatch that LoL still exists.

Appeals to the lowest common denominator in other words:

>ft2
>braindead repetitive gameplay
>grinding
>easy to understand
>offers a mode vs bot
>team based so you can blame your allies instead of yourself (one of the huge reasons why people are so anxious about any kind of 1v1 game)

It certainly isn't listening to their playerbase. Rotating queue sucks ass. More permanent game modes please.

Overwatch has slowly been losing players. It's the exact opposite of LoL. It started out with a huge surge of players back by an established games company, and is slowly bleeding out players now that the game has been revealed to be incredibly shallow.

Add Anime tiddies to that list

I'm on my 4th year of wanting this game to die.

Yeah I don't understand how if they have 100 million active monthly players, and have the biggest esport, how they can have less hours watched on Twitch than CSGO and Dota 2. Like, I guess a ton are casuals who don't care about the esports side but then why the fuck would they bother playing League anyways when MOBAs are a salt factory with friends.

People hate the balance in OW, and in 4 months Blizzard has done a bunch of balance changes and its kinda jerking everything around but the top has still always been the top and alot of the trash is still pretty trash overall.

Also only one new character and one new map in 4 months, content is really slow. This is why you do custom community maps

but so is LoL?

LoL started out small and grew to be the biggest in the world. Overwatch started big and is becoming smaller.


LoL is a lot less shallow than overwatch. There is a lot of depth in league meme's aside. If you don't believe so you are probably just insecure about your inability to be good at it.

league of legends depth is limited to the numbers, you're still doing exactly the same thing every single game

>lying and or exagerrating
>fake accounts
>inactive accounts that they just call active because they havent been deleted
>aspies with like 3 accounts

You're not doing the exact same thing.


Your autistic statement can apply to any competitive game.

You can say the same about fighting games and we both know that it isn't true.

yes you are, especially because they lock the champions behind an in-game paywall. try building any items or playing any non-meta role at all, you'll fail because the game wants to keep everything the same

LoL was around for like a year back when DotA1 was still the most popular MOBA, the playerbase moved on to LoL and it also attracted casuals because how easy it was to play LoL compared to DotA

Overwatch started on the top, but sadly the only way it can go now is down, once you look past the waifus and the cinematics, you are left with really fucking repetitive gameplay

Same could be said about every sport ever, your opinion is the opinion of someone who has never played a sport

>paywall
>"YOU HAVE TO PICK CHAMPIONS ACCORDING TO THE META user"

this is arguments idiots use, the game doens't hide anything that isn't cosmetic behind a paywall, maybe, MAYBE only aditional Rune pages which you can get around anyway

they let you pick free champions every week, the only thing about League's shop system that could be argued is that it is incredibly unfriendly towards new players

You're still not doing the same thing every game if you're playing the meta.

Honestly don't feel like talking to you, you're about 7 years behind in your criticism that has already been discarded as meme-tier trash. There is a reason it's numba wan, lol cya kid

>try building any items or playing any non-meta role at all,

Kek

The only unviable champion was just reworked into viability.

Literally everything is viable unless you're playing some dumb shit like AD Annie. Even fucking Galio is seeing some use right now. This doesn't mean that all champions are relevant, just that if you use them right you can have success with them.

only like 20% of the roster is even picked in comp lmfao

retard

y-yeah haha no one ever quits league

Didn't you know? it's THE esport

>free
>any potato can run it
>Muh esport

It's inevitable to have a pool of champions that is good on competitive, i hate this fucking argument that would only be relevant if every match you play has the same skill level of those on the competitive scene

All you need to do is get good, there is no "meta-champion" which is insta-win if you pick it, as long as you don't play like a complete retard and take your time mastering a champion you should be doing fine

so why is 95% of the roster picked in dota comp?

kill yourself braindead lolbabby cancer of the games industry

Bullshitting their numbers.

You can play any pick, anywhere, as long as you don't do shit like janna mid

t. wukong mid/trynd mid/bard adc main

Pandering to retards, slapping double Ds on every other character

There is no salt quite like the salt of dota players with an inferiority complex. Sorry your game didn't do nearly as well as league.

Oh what's that? Crowd funded prize pool? Sorry mate, now you don't even have that argument anymore.

waifus
marketing
gameplay with intermittent and inconsistent rewards
MY JOB IS SO HARD
waifus

>braindead lolbabby cancer of the games industry
>brings up statistics from the University of retards

show me ANY facts that back up anything you said then

...

>lose an argument, have no rebuttal
>f-fucking salty dotards!!

What? Janna mid has been a thing in the past and it's probably still decent now. Noob detected.

How do you not cringe at this gay shit?

you're gay

>asumes his opinion as fact despite having nothing to back it up
>answers with memes and images that depict absolutely nothing relevant

Wow, you sure showed me

Ok fine it's a thing

a very non viable thing

janna mid was intentionally nerfed into the ground

if you want a support mid you have to pick an OP one like zilean or karma

>lolbabies this mad that Trump, the next American president, plays Dota 2 and not league of cuckolds

>Trump playing the Bernie Sanders of Moba's

League is literally the Trump of Moba's.

Friendly reminder that Gabe donates to the DNC.

>Trump would play a shill game

Who the hell brought up sports?

you can literally say that about any multiplayer game

His minecraft changes every time he loads in dude come on man

dumb lolcucks

he did years ago

...

>league

Really? You're fucking dirt if you play that trash.

the only thing im willing to credit league over overwatch is variety. Experimenting with builds and active items gives the game more "depth" but ultimately its just tedious min maxing for getting the highest number possible.

That's just item builds?

The depth comes from the strategic gameplay and mechanics.

>100 million active monthly players
>He bought Riot's lie hook, line and sinker

You would call it a lie even if it was true. So what's the point in even posting?

>lolcucks so btfo they ignore my post

epic!

Do you play, or plan to play on the LCS? If your answer is "no", then you shouldn't give a fuck. You play whatever you want and you will succeed if you're good at it. There have been examples of some OP or UP champs but they aren't as bad as you make it out to be. Normal games have much more variety than professional matches.

Also LCS uses much more than 20% of the roster. This isn't fucking Melee.

>stop liking what i don't like: the post
LoL is perfectly fine and it is fun, literally ALL arguments against the game in this thread (Not saying there are not smart arguments against LoL overall) have NOTHING to back themselves up

Just asumptions and retarded arguments like "SO IZI AND CASUL" when you know damn well LoL was designed to be that way

>wanting a reply to a retarded meme Cred Forums post

why are lolcucks just as bad, if not worse at arguing, as modern SJW liberals?

really makes me think

I miss Lulu mid :(

I miss the days when I first started playing this shit and carried out whatever dumb ideas I had in mind.

>Engine is uncapable of handling something like rubick's Ultimate that steals a spell.
>Muh burden of knowledge

>Can't even make replay system by making bots play out events from the game log.

Same way how flies hoard to dog shit.

this game is fun for like a month or so then it's the most boring ass shit

though I log in twice a month to troll making sperg kids rage is the best thing ever

you're the sperg though

this game will ruin your life
DO NOT start playing LOL

its a pretty fun game with a high skill ceiling and is actually really cool once u start getting actually good at it.

They made DOTA 2 noob friendly
