I'm literally playing it right now

Been playing it for years, by its merits it should be the game /v/ praises the most however its been shitcanned because it's so popular

This is what /v/ has come to?

Fucking MOBAs?

I prefer multiplayer games where my success depends only on me.
I don't find it fun when I have to rely on 4 brainless monkeys.

sorry but no

league of losers is literally the easiest moba on the market. even heroes of the storm is harder at high levels of play.

LOL is designed to be picked up and played by any chucklefuck who has no clue what they are doing. thats why there are so many players of it.

not to mention that the people who play it are the most retarded niggers of a community that i have ever laid eyes on and thats coming from someone who has played wow for a decade

Its not free to play, its pay to win. All of the best heroes are behind a huge paywall. Extreme skill cap? I take it youve never played any other games.

>>377123835
Don't need to play the game to masturbate to the fanart.

>>377123835
because the only part of the game i enjoy is laning

i found it weird that HOTS went with a design philosophy of 'fuck laning, teamfighting is fun!' wheras having a 1v1 lane vs somebody, and trying to edge them out via favourable trades, avoiding ganks, controlling minion waves is way more exciting

Also i've tried every moba out there and whilst all do different things best, LoL without a doubt does hero 'kits' better than any other. They just synergise with each other really nicely a lot of the time. Obviously some of the individual abilities are far less dramatic than in DoTA for example, but i find the kits in LoL to be more consistent and synergous

>>377123835
the new rift looks like fucking shit compared to the old one. the improvements are minimal because they were dead scared of it no longer running on toasters. If it stopped running on toasters they would loose like half their playerbase

Heroes having to be unlocked breaks the hero comps since you can't accurately pick to counter enemy teams. This causes faggots to play 1 hero only and never fully learn the game.

Then we have the problem of popularity which is a real problem. Too many people blindly following "the meta" because their ultra popular streamer or YouTube personality said so. The game is so popular with these casuals and the matchmaking is so poor you get trapped with players who don't understand common sense with team comps and team work.

Mobas have alot of problems but league is truly one of the worst. The company is a literal Chinese copy cat company but people eat their shit and willingly throw 20 bucks for their crappy skins.

most of the maps in hots are total ass. and the thing is certain maps completely invalidate certain heroes so picking them means you are gimping your team. balancing nightmare. and desu none of the hots maps looks well designed at all because they are just a boring left and right symmetrical playing field.

dota's got a shit ton of custom game modes anyway so if that's what you are so desperate for then go and play them. blows hots out of the water. go play overthrow in dota if you are so desperate for a new map and game mode. you can get map reskins in dota and they are hundreds of times more aesthetically pleasing than ones in hots.

2011 was the peak, everything since then went downhill. Why? Because the game is simplistic and casual and they haven't done anything to give it any variety and complexity so it's been stagnating for years. They did manage to hit a sweet spot between Dota and HOTS to make it not completely braindead. I have to give them credit for being extremely good at PR and marketing, they're incredibly good at selling the game and making viral shit, social media and flashy animations/videos. It's the epitome of style over substance and they are masters of that

>>377123835
The real problem with the game is that Riot popularized Teamwork and Coordination and kept rubberbanding the game so that the better team won. This objectively sounds good but it is very hurting to all good players, who are playing on bad teams (elo hell lmao), season 3- had tons of assassin play and you felt like you did damage, now defense was buffed to infinity, everyone gets wards, armor pen scales with level, damage items deal less and less each (bloodthirster used to give 100 ad, last whisper gave 35% armor pen (All armor not that bonus armor bullshit) AND defense items were worse).
All characters have more and more mobility, which ends up killing the game when you also make all abilities more and more skillshots. The value of easy CC skyrockets, which comes mostly from tanks who, surprise, also have better survivability since riot destroyed attack and buffed defense.
And finally, the real killer. Riot didn't just reduce damage items and improve defense items. Even they knew the game would be a fucking snoozefest. So what they did was compensate in the champions' kits, and through the keystone masteries. Base damages and stats were improved, all abilities got scalings, this all stacked up in a Teamwork and Cooperation-friendly way: Tanks and supports dealt damage, at the cost of their carries' damage. But what it also did was reduce snowballing as a losing champion can still do damage. This meant that the 10/1 zed became easier to handle over time (not during a game, during irl time)

It was eating 4+ hours a day for me to even just be mediocre. Didn't have to time for that, and it's not really something you can casually try to improve at without completely wasting your time given that the things to practice are so nuanced that you just need so much mileage.

Switched to melee, I can feel good about grinding tech skill an hour a day at least. Still love league tho, nothing like getting a Penta kill as jinx to close out a 40min game.

Hasn't LoL been on a decline for a while now?
Do they still release champs every 2 weeks?

>>377123835

LoL and every game like it past the original dota is for mentally incapacitated children who can't handle it being their fault when they lose at videogames. Dota was just another wc3 custom game mode and honestly it should have just stayed that way, at least dota 2 implemented those

no, what makes a moba interesting is tactical depth, teamwork and asymmetrical gameplay (which characters come into I will admit). but the characters themselves are far less important than the abilities that come with them

>Aren't games usually 30+ minutes?
Yes they are, unless it's a stomp. Pro games tend to be over 40, usually 50 minutes and they're so boring with like 20 kills total and every game is the same essentially. But LoL kiddies watch the reddit analysts and like to talk about "rotations" and "strategy" like that exists in LoL in any meaningful level. I remember Thorin comparing pro LoL players to Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, it's so cringeworthy

>>377131402
is that Pendragon?

>>377132680
I don't really care much about the sports.
I mean the game itself. Did it improve in some substantial ways since then?

>>377132181
Yeah that's for the people who play ranked which is like 20% of most MOBAs population. In LoL, in the NA server like 8% people play ranked? some shit like that, most people just pick some champs to main and then buy skins for them.

I'll just bring the point that imaqtpie and scarra, ex-pros, said on their podcast on why after almost 8 years they keep playing league, it just doesn't get boring, each match there always some new shit going on and you always feel you can do anything in any part of the game, so they just never get bored of the game. Also qt is some maniac that enjoys killing players in many ways on many champions and it feels very satisfying.

>>377132428
That was like 3 years ago I think. I like most of the new reworks from old champions, there's a rift herald before Baron spawns, dragons are now elementals, gameplaywise I dunno, feels the same in the terms of balance. In the sense of improvement, there are more objects and more champs so yeah.

Ever since Juggernauts the game has been an unbalanced shit.
Assassins building tanky and doing more damage than their actual damage builds and crazy shit like that.
They keep adding new stuff but they can't fix what they already have.

>low amount of skill needed to play at lowest level, xt3m31337 skill needed to play at the top level

Nigga. Ever since the Support item rework this fucking game isn't about skill (not to be hyperbole, it is about skill but its effect is greatly reduced compared to this), it's about the shittiest guy on your/enemy team.
Long gone are the days where you could solocarry teams.

>why haven't you played LoL yet?
They reworked Rengar.
Not to be a meme player but he was my favourite champion, he was so versatille (AP, Tank that actually doesn't deal shit-ton of damage late game, Crit, ArmPen, On Hit lol) and he was unique in his ways.

No but entire class reworks/new champs are. Moakai just got done.

This lends to the fact you actually need to function as a competent player, if you can't out duel 2-3 champions solo on a tower in Hots then I don't know what to tell you other than to pick a better character. This also highlights a mentality you have where towers being able to absolutely annihilate anyone who steps under it for a half second just confirms that you prefer a playstyle divorced from player interaction, so fuck off with yourself you dumb cunt.

>>377133348
>Yeah because that +0.01% AP scaling on some utility skill is going to change EVERYTHING

>>377132937
>8% of people play ranked

the truth is league is nothing more than a casual version of DoTA, so if that's your thing and you can't get into DoTA then that's fine. I know off the top of my head about 15 people who moved from league to DoTA 2 when it came out, but I know literally no people who played DoTA then went to league. I think that is all you need to see

Because most of the strategy and play revolves around grinding gold and experience; interaction with opponents is only a secondary or opportunistic objective for the first 10-20 minutes.

I hate MOBAS, and I really really tried to like them.

>>377133597
You know why LoL is so huge and this flaw barely makes a difference?

Because most people play few champs and have only a few runepages. Most people play regularly for years, in a few months they play with friends and then once they have everything they legit don't know what to do with IP because they don't want to get all champs.

Like, 90% of the game are teenagers that play one or two roles. Why would they all be playing all champions? Context on the flaw is what matters.

Pretty much that, and also the fact that it's shiny and visually pleasant draws in teenagers and kids.

They don't think at all, about anything. I have a friend who's Diamond 2/3 or so and he's basically become a zombie. He's been playing LoL since 2011 and that's all he knows. He dismissed Dota 2 as outdated shit and stopped playing everything else.

f2p

before game you select summoner spells, runes and masteries

you unlock most summoner spells by lv 10 I think, easy

runes and masteries take a while, masteries have a core one that is unlocked at lvl 18, kind of a disadvantage, runes have two tiers, 2 and 3

2 are IP each, you get a full runepage for nothing, 3 are slightly stronger and are for when you want to get serious and play ranked but barely make a diffrence

you can buy champs with game money or real life money, newer champs cost 6300 IP and old ones 450 IP

>>377134814
grind to 30 is piece of cake these days, runes cost basically nothing now they discounted the only useful ones

unlocking champs is still a fucking pain

>>377134383

They usually play only one and stick with it because they want to get good at it and mobas typically differ so vastly that its not worth the time investment of playing more than one because they just want to git gud.

>I play no mobas now, after playing dota for 10 years and league for 3.

Why might you ask? Because no matter how good you are you will always be 9v1, as long as you solo queue.

Sometimes you will be 2v8 or 3v7 but maybe out of 1000 games you will only find a good 5v5 once or twice for your typical run of the mill player. Of course this changes as people improve, but let's be honest, 3000-4000 mmr or gold 5-1 being your average person, you aren't finding that much fun.

It's not free to play, as much as the game proclaims it is. If you want to get anywhere at a reasonable or even slow pace, you will be paying money. Progression is very slow and there are far too many things to unlock, many of which lack any sort of satisfaction.

>>377134814
I started in 2011 and the grind was hard back then. They also used to release a new character every 15 days! But you used to get a lot more IP plus Tribunal.

Youre a lying and stupid nigger. League is the slowest ASSFAGGOTS of them all, you assholes are also the ones that forced that stupid MOBA moniker even though it doesn't make sense and is incorrect.


League is also atrociously balanced. It's been that way since beta, and it hasn't changed at all.

I have.
I've stopped after around 4000 matches, mostly normals, with the seasonal 10-20 games to get plat.
SoloQ is a pointless struggle, the closer you get to your skill level, the slower you climb. The daily couple normal games with friends are no different than watching tv out of habit.

Easily accessible multiplayer games were a mistake.

>>377130145
It was like 3 years ago max, Zed's abilities still function the exact same therefore it could be repeated and is still fundamentally the same game.

>>377135743
Yes they make silly skins with the intention of them being silly. They have plenty of serious/badass skins and recolors too. Not all the skins have unique voices either.

I'll admit, I'm not a very good moba player and many of those years was Dota 1, I maybe played dota 2 for 3 or 4 years, and out of my few thousand hours played of both games I have had my share of sucky games (gameplay wise, for me, where I didn't do so hot.)

With that said, i've seen thousands of people, literally thousands at this point in time flame ALL GAME because they have no foresight, they are playing in the moment, they will flame flame flame when you're losing not realizing you have a late game comp, or whatever it is, and then the flaming stops when you win.

NOBODY enjoys the ride anymore with mobas or rarely enjoys themselves because the good moments are overtaken by the overwhelmingly cynical and pessimistic players.

Unfortunately I understand this mindset because I used to have it, because after seeing so many foreign players troll and shit talkers poke and prod teammates until they flip out you become jaded and that's the point where most solo MOBA players are and that's why their community is shit.

TL;DR: If you want to play a MOBA today play it with friends and if you are to solo q play it sparingly.

>>377136142
NO THIS GAME IS UNBALANCED AND I DESERVE CHALLENGUER BUT MY TEAM BRINGS ME DOWN REEEEEEEEEE THE FACT THAT MASTER AND CHALLENGUER PLAYERS CAN 1V9 AND I CAN'T DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT

>>377123835
I did and burned myself out years ago. /v/ used to love it too. We had OC out the ass. But like me, I think everyone got tired of specific things, like flash being mandatory and no deny except as Gangplank.

I've also seen the bans from meta deviation. I remember having a lot of success playing an AS Mahlazer, having voidlings that tore apart anything and my Ult just being CC. It seems like I'd get banned now for that.

I don't play mobas for the same reason I don't play other team based games.

The fact that your success hinges on four or more retards that you have very little control over makes these games very unattractive to me.

>>377125427
>shared xp means the game takes less skill

except it's the complete opposite. Because you cannot get fed on an individual level, you have to be aware of how your actions affect the entire game. You can't just continuously kill a guy weaker than you over and over and then 1v5 the enemy team. It's not as "fun" (because let's be real, the entire reason to play MOBAs is to get fed and then 1v5), but it's more balanced as an actual game.

Items aren't really a big deal because your builds are generally the same in most games with one or two variations. Levelling skills are the same thing: you're pretty much ALWAYS going to put your first point in Q, your second point in W, etc etc. HotS also has an equivalent with its talent system.

Different numbers of active abilities don't mean characters are less mechanically-intensive than ones in LoL. Many are, but there's characters like The Lost Vikings (you control three different heroes at once) that are far harder than anything you'd have in LoL.

HotS does suffer from a shitty vision game, though, but it's probably necessitated because of how teamfights are constantly happening.

>>377124909
>no jungling

it does have jungling though

PvE is not more skillful than laning, not even in LoL. If you mean to say that you need macro skill, HotS is ENTIRELY macro gameplay. Your individual actions barely matter, and you don't win the game by just dumpstering the other guy in lane.

HotS has different maps, each with their own different metagames, and most players don't even know what the metagame is. If you asked them how to play Temples or Braxis or Cursed Hollow, they wouldn't even know where to send their team, unlike in LoL, where people will immediately tell you solo top, solo mid, adc/suppport bot, jungle.

>>377136292

kek patch 7.00 that basically butchered the game is the final proof anon.

>>377133864
Yes there are replays right now.
Replays don't work though on patches other than the one they were played in, so when 7.10 comes out any replays you saved during 7.9 wont be usable anymore.
They intend to fix this and other issues with the system, but they figured it was better to at least release something instead of making people wait another 7 years.

>>377123835
LoL will always be a 3rd rate piece of shit MOBA.

Dota 2 exists, better in every single aspect except cute girls.

Because HoTS has literally nothing else going for it but the map variety, and the game is such an unbelievable fucking piece of shit its not even worth it for that.

HoTS maps are also fucking garbage and the entire game just lends itself to one-sided snowballing. Worst non-phone MOBA out there.

>>377123835
Do they have more than 3 maps yet?

>>377136272
at least in games like dota, if you're good, you can carry your team because every player can have a high impact. In LoL, since every character is weak, you can only win by knowing the tiniest timings and the smallest details of mechanics at higher levels since there's no strategy and it's all about muscle memory

>>377136485

They only make maps for new modes that rotate every month because only 1% of the population played TT and Dominion(RIP). Everyone only plays SR.

He had to be incredibly fed to do that

How do you think he got fed?

>>377136801
That isn't the Earth Shaker being good but the enemy being really fucking dumb.

>>377136801

To be fair he counterpicked 40% of the enemy team with ES, and used the ability ES has. Seems like the enemy misplayed by grouping up to me.

It wasn't his skill and this doesn't show a lack of skill by the ES, but it shows that the enemy team is full of retards.

>>377123835

You could argue no "play" takes skill, its the other guys fucking up not the person being good.

Don't lie to yourself, nobody plays ranked for fun.
Even if you don't care about mmr, the game is worse because you'll have to play vs/team with the exact same meta champions every match, and the community is polarized between being tense due to muh lp and ^^ good job well played sucking your dick for anything because they're scared of you getting pissed and giving them a loss.

>>377137221
>>377137209
No combination (especially one specific thing like positioning) should ever enable a single person to instakill the entire enemy team at once. Your game and all other mobas are a fucking containment zone.

>LoLkids are THIS butthurt about how shit their game is
MY SIDES

/v/ is the only place where I see people thinking snowball in LoL means nothing kek

It shows how very few people here either don't play the game, played the game then quit but read sometimes the news, and the people who keep playing but are low elo and can't carry even when fed because they are bad

If you watch any single challenguer or master stream, you'll see many people carrying 1v5. Hell imaqtpie when he isn't feeding can carry 1v5 too.

Also there are two really strong argument against that.

- Elo Boosters exist. They win games single handledly by themselves and boost an account's rank. How the fuck would they be able to do that if it's not possible to carry the game by yourself?

- Scarra said it. Despite Riot's attempts at nerf snowballing, it still exists and it's just natural in a MOBA, a 3/0 carry with 2k gold and 2 levels up will always have a huge edge UNLESS he plays bad with his lead which doesn't happen in high elo.

These two arguments are supported by challenguer players, so can't see how a /v/ silver surfer would be able to debunk that.

Everyone in HotS is so fucking bad at video games it's not even funny
It's like playing the game with a bunch of facebook grannies

>>377137515
/v/ is the containment board now. /vg/ is for dicussing the video games you care about.

>>377137249

>It's fast paced and fun
Yes doing fucking nothing for 30 minutes while your teammates make sure the enemy team levels faster and gets more gold surely makes for some fast paced gameplay!

Blink dagger and level 6 is enough to do that. Not fed by any means.

>>377123835

Because its a shit game, with shit design, shit mechanics, and shit players.

Its like willingly hitting myself in the dick with a hammer for 30 minutes to an hour at a time. Why the fuck would I do that?
