Report: League of Legends is No. 1 in PC game revenue so far in 2017

>According to a report by SuperData, League of Legends is No. 1 in the world in terms of PC game revenue since the start of 2017.

>Long championed as perhaps the most popular game in the world, it’s no surprise to see League of Legends at the top of the list. With millions of players around the world, League maintained its market presence across multiple continents and remains at the top despite being eight years old. The report did not offer specific revenue amounts for games.

>Perhaps most high profile competitive FPS game in the West, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive ranks ninth, according to the report. The most popular competitive online FPS in the world is Crossfire, developed by South Korean developers Smilegate. The game ranks in third on PCs, just behind League and the MMORPG Dungeon Fighter Online. With the backing of Tencent, the Chinese tech giant that also holds a majority share in Riot Games, Crossfire has managed to be one of the most popular games in the Asian market.

Discuss.

>Dungeon Fighter Online
Jesus Christ people still play that?

League of Legends is not only a terrible game but is successful specifically BECAUSE it is a terrible game and I hope to god every single day it collapses because it is blatantly apparent that Riot are supremely incompetent and don't have the ability to even make a second game.

>League literally doesn't even have an engine, the entire game is a giant collection of action scripts

Even if that is true. Riot was an actual indie company when League launched, just like a dozen people made the game on a hurry to not lose investors money and had to had the game available for E3 fast, no one thought it would blow up
>>
>>386084286
league is nowhere near #1 and has nowhere near "millions of players"

league has less players and less games played than dota 2 you can check publicly available stats. they somehow have 10x as many players yet less games are played and recorded as stats. lol.

Also they have a salary paid by Riot for playing in their leagues, so if you are a pro you'll at least survive like a normal person, in dota if you aren't top tier and winning tournaments left and right, you are starving

oh yeah what kind of sponsors? any big companies?

I mean, I'm sure they need to go really hard for those sponsorships, when the 12 majors played next year *without* TI will eclipse the prize pool of all league tournaments ever played. LOL.

I quit playing because the game is fake skinner box bullshit

someone actually applied some complex statistical analysis technique to tens of thousands of games and declared, once and for all, that you will lose 28% of your games automatically, win 28% automatically, and be able to make a difference in less than 50% of your fucking games played.

All games that function like this are garbage, and I feel so sad for you who have never known what it's like to truly pwn, because you play restrictive games will skill equalizing shit

its kinda bullshit, i mean, most PC games only sell once, but this shit doesn't sell at all and makes MORE MONEY than even the top fucking PC franchises!
>>
>>386087108
nobody was talking about pros and also dota 2 isn't league. I dunno why people try to compare them, one is a baby game one is an adult game, it's literally checkers to chess

>>386087091
It's true. You have never seen domination in an online game because *every single* online game you have ever played has had skill equalizing shit.

Pushbutton skills. Airstrikes, killstreaks, classes so you have to rely on others. Garbage like that. It's all you get now

Most of their skins are shit though, hell most of the characters are shit now too, they keep releasing boring as fuck pretty or 'flashy' humanoids to please the subhuman koreans who want everyone to look like barbie dolls.

Yes you are absolutely right about DotA 2.

lol

>>386087880

>>past a certain point some enemy heroes literally auto-win the game

nah, that doesn't describe dota whatsoever, rather the situation is reversed from what you said and the statistics have always proven it (early lead in league is a win in like 70% of cases)

I can't honestly expect someone who plays league to understand dota. There is never any situation where a hero gets so fed or big they can just walk down the map, not anymore, game does not function like that and there is always counterplay unless you are bad
>>
Without reading the thread I'm already assuming Dota2 players jumped out the woodworks and went on a rant how dota2 is for the big boys and lol is kiddie shit while acting like dota2 is the finest game esports can offer.

Here's a spoiler fuckos; you will never join an esports scene and all you do is just watch matches and pretend it could be you. Play video games for fun and play actual good games instead of that moba shit.

>>386088173
This is what pisses me off more than anything to be honest, before the game became some chinaman/korean stranglehold mess it was actually a fun enough game. Even as far back as taking away fun things like TF's global ult I knew the game was going down the shitters
>>
>>386088204
bro I hate to tell you but league functions exactly the same way. Any game with teamplay where you can't dominate singlehandedly does. Overwatch etc. TF2 wouldn't count because you can dominate with skill in TF2

It's a consequence of the entire idea of "you can't do everything" and "you must play as a team" gameplay...to think it somehow applies to dota and not league shows child-level thinking, but we already knew what level you're on

LoL probably has more players but less average time played per player. Overall it's most likely bigger than Dota.

Also Dota's dying, friend, Valve fucked it up
