You're doing it all wrong.

DoTa and all of it's children suck. If I want a RTS I'll go play one. If I want real PVP I'll play Guild wars or something.
I don't call ganking and running away if you can't one-shot your enemy PVP. Sorry kids.
half a billion dollar company doesnt really give a sh** about what you think of the game :/. and what did you expect from a MOBA? you thought we would get connected to some virtual world or something? :/
your just raging, cause you dont understand the basic concept of the game :/
just /uninstall please. we have more then enough people like you in LoL
Hey everyone. Just thought I would mention that people have opinions. Not everyone can like the same thing. Also, using over used words like "This is just" or using words like bad, terrible, shitty, etc, is not an actual explanation. It is possible to form sentences that do not have to say anything negative about another poster.
Every new hero that Riot puts out has:
1. A gap closer
2. A defensive ability
3. A stun/slow
And that is why the game is terrible. No originality in any champs becuase Riot is scared if they make a hero without those 3 abilities the kids that actually like the game won't understand how to play.
People who don't play competitive MOBAs can't really say much about them.
LoL is far from "easymode" when you start climbing the ladder.
However the game mechanics itself are easier, you need to worry less about micro-managing and more about perfect execution and teamwork.
One could say that LoL is more of a "macro-moba" and Dota/HoN are more "micro-moba".
Man, the fanboys be swarmin' me. Typical insults with no actual counter-argument. I guess the truth hit a little too close to home.
i've played mobas for a long time.
All i can say is that it's an acquired taste. Most asians like Mobas because they're micro intensive, positioning matters and the really small tricks like animation canceling are so absolutely rewarding. Also it requires a LOT of quick thinking and precise mouse movement.
Typical example is playing ashe end game: I can carry the team 18-0 but the character herself is still squishy. if i'm going to win teamfights when the team compositions are solid, i HAVE to position myself where THEIR assassins can't get to me. And to do that, i need my team to fulfill their roles as buffers as well.
Therefore, the sort of 5 person cohesion that comes with moba games is half the reward. MOBAS are all VERY intense and quick on your feet thinking, rather than something like WoW pvp or Guild wars.
You only have 4 skills. how you choose and when you choose to use them are Key- it's not like MMO's where you have many skills to choose from. Every hero fills a precise role in the game.
Picking who you play is half the fun.
Also, if your into RTS, you WON"T be into moba style games- they play very differently. Rather than mindless SHOOT THE TARGET type gameplay, you have to be aware of your minimap and the opponents positioning at all times.
That being said, Lineage 2 was much more fun PVP wise than LoL ever will be.
However, L2 PVP was large scale seige with assists and target switches and overall just a ****ton of fun.
LoL is probably one of the better mobas- better than hon, but not NEARLY as good as dota is.
atleast, back when they had blink dagger.
digi vice = best pvp
O.o.... Wow really? If u dont like it dont play it simple as that lol. Everyone has their own cup of tea lol.
Simple = Seller. people have other shiet to do then master a complicated game. LoL is fun an easy to play, yet difficult an rewarding to master.
Take it or leave it, its everyones personal choice. To have 9 pages of flame is just rediculous. lol.
league is not tactical? shallow point of view
No, pretty much all my matches ending in people DCing, Rage quitting, Bashing one another and resulted in us losing, i only had one good match outve seven before i decided it was enough. Considering i was at lower "Rating" i cant imagine it getting any better.
I played LoL for almost a year and I got pretty decent at the game (1800 ELO). I quit playing about a month ago because of the large amount of trolls/leavers/feeders I'd always get on my team. I don't like having to rely so much on random baddies. The only reason I didn't quit earlier is because I had a good friend that played the game and he would queue with me.
You must not play in the Non-Ranked games -_-. Leavers within the first 2 mins or less.
Only issue I have with HoN is the messy as hell interface. Like what is with all the uneeded text n shiet. No one cares about the back story of items n shiet. I just wana buy an Item an go on about my day lmfao xD.
HoN is good n all but, at low ratting, n shiet, it gets stupid difficult to even get one match in -_-. An lack of match making hurts it as well.
yeah in LoL there are no item abilites ... there are no 2 additional summoner skills ... HoN has it all ... HoN is superior (because you play it) ... no comment /sarcasm_off
dude if you don't like LoL and obviously you're HoN fan ... why you even bother replying on this thread ... the point of whole thread is that, author doesn't like the whole concept of MOBA genre ...
showing that you're HoN fan ... and obviously in a mood to type (i will allow myself to say) lies ... won't help anyone ... you're just popping up the rage
omg you can stop auto attack?? and here i was constantly clicking all over my screen to stop my champion for attacking everything so that i can do the 2nd thing on your list.
you know, i used to think the same thing abt LoL when i first started playing, especially the bit abt the community. But then i started playing with a whole bunch of my friends and then things got fun. eventually, i got alot better, through a whole lot of practice.
like some of you mentioned before, this game is easy to play, but hard to master. and when i say easy to play, i mean easy relative to other MOBAs. so if you suck at MOBAs, like me, then its gonna be effing hard to play. till you know, you get used to it.
edit: i just read through the other posts and realised how futile my post is.
How did this flame war last for 2 days. Why is there no one locking it
Are you kidding? You dont even know me lol. Not just random ranting.
I been playing HoN for about a year now. So no its not just random ranting it comes from actually playing the game throughly, thank you every much.
I have yet to hear anything against it from you?
But anyways, on topic once again:
That is what people see in League of Legends, is a MOBA game easy to pick up learn an play, an as this guy mentioned "Good for you. Your lack of patience and laziness is admirable. To me it seems that once you don't understand something it instantly becomes complicated and useless."
Thats the kind of market developers are starting to Aim for because the Hardcore gamers, are few an the casuals fund the company. Its all about business.
I like playing LoL because it's fun, however its community is something you scrape from the bottom of your shoe. That and the matchmaking. Oh dear lord...Was in a game with 5 people with 80 wins each and on the opposing team there was one player with 550 wins, one with 300 and the other 3 with 70 each.
