>>387039613
Build order is just one part of the gameplay of a proper strategy game, where you have both micro and macro. Both base building and strategic movement of units, everything is within these two systems working in unison.

What the fuck do ASSFAGGOTS have? One map type, gangbanging is encouraged, all you really need to do is control your unit and spam abilities at the right moment.

Anyone arguing that ASSFAGGOTS are somehow more complex than a strategy game just because they also involve some strategic thinking is a straight up retard, given that a typical RTS game has ONE ADDITIONAL LAYER of complexity that an ASSFAGGOT misses.

>>387039675
It started out as a mod of W3, yes. Where's the problem exactly?

>>387039070
Actually it's only games that have constant "balance" patches designed to fuck with the relative strengths of myriad characters, items, and overall strategies that have "meta"stasized cancer. However it just so happens that ASSFAGGOTS is an entire genre of metastasized cancer. When their devs stop releasing patches the games are basically solved within a month.

>>387039761
Looks like someone wasn't around to see the Sniper/Troll Warlord apocalypse two years back.

>>387039536
>Why would I play W3 with 90% of shit taken out? I mean, seriously.

Because it's an entirely different style of game, being built on the engine doesn't make it an RTS.

>>387039818
If ASSFAGGOTS are so simple, why aren't you winning the big bucks at a TI? just go gangbang and spam abilities and win some big money.

Or hell, go win at fighting games, all you do is throw fireballs and punch dudes and then you win!

>>387038190

>>387039818

It's LITERALLY Warcraft 3 with most of the interesting shit taken out. It cannot even have more than one map type which in and out of itself is pretty fucking pathetic as far as game dev goes. W3 was a strategy game at heart, in spite of its problems and smaller design issues.

>>387039903
>Cooperating with 5 different people running around a map is very different from 1x1 mindgames.
No shit, I'm just saying that MOBAs are boring as shit and there's infinitely higher potential in developing the proper strategy genre, not this cancerous garbage that everyone is trying to replicate in spite of the fact that nobody will ever really care aside from LoL and DOTA.

>>387039884
>If ASSFAGGOTS are so simple, why aren't you winning the big bucks at a TI?
Because kids and casuals flock to whatever's most popular at the time. CS:GO sucks shit as well as an actual competetive FPS, and yet that's also popular. Happens. I don't play either garbage, I don't find it fun.

>>387039884
The engine doesn't define the genre, but the fact that they have literally the same mechanics and control scheme does. Dota is literally Warcraft 3 with everything but heroes cut out, then that sole system was stretched out and bloated a hundred times larger.

The fact that you can viably win matches in Starcraft by cannon spamming or worker-rushing early on (admittedly, not against a good player, but that's a different thing) already means that it's more complex than a random ASSFAGGOT, where you pretty much have to hit mobs at the beginning and do the usual mundane shit.

>>387040563
I'd reduce ASSFAGGOTS to the ground forever if I could, and people would thank me in the long run. I've been there before you fucking faggots, I've played online PC games before 2007 rolled around, so don't presume you can argue with me about this shit.

>>387040206

They can and do, Dota chose to have one because of the massive amount of effect on character balance which is a big deal when you have as many characters and team comp possibilities as Dota does.

are you being contrarian on purpose or are you legitimately retarded? dota right now is supremely balanced in comparison to the fuckfest that were the years before ti6. with the exception of grand final ti3 had the msot boring meta imaginable, endless ancient stacking, rat dota, endlessly ricing cores. dont get me started on ti4 memepush deathball. look how many lineups and startegies are viable now. playmaking heroes dictate the tempo of the game resulting in an exciting displays of skill rather than who can can right click the most creeps competition. 98% heroes were picked this TI, no single hereo seemed to be blatantly overpowered, the games were great all the way to the grand final.

People said the same shit about 16mb of ram. The garbage you see on consoles today was capable on a pc from 8~ years ago. And the garbage you'll see in the consoles of the future will be capable on PCs from now.

New tech is new tech and there will always be a place for the cutting edge, consoles are bargain bin gaming systems so of course you can expect a draw to the more capable shit.

>>387042385
they did, they used it to show potential creep pulls and how the offlane could counter the pulls. also where ganks did and shouldve come from and when. just not every game, and only ones that had a lot of movement early instead of static lanes

For something like LoL and Dota, doesnt this just boil down to drawing the same stuff for every single game? Like, people in lane are always gonna do the same stuff. Junglers always gonna jungle and gank in mostly the same way.

it's console gamers, don't bother.

Your'e an idiot it's not the same because it was only people from greece or rome or w.e and whoever they wanted to invite. Now it's actually international and with the internet videos and other records can be stored.

Never play LoL but in high level Dota contesting the jungle and pressuring the lane are different from game to game, since the map is too big to have perfect defense and offense everywhere

>>387045887
junglers arent a thing outside of pubs, the jungle is terrible at the moment. and depending on the offlane and mid, ganking might not even be viable. and if you have say a lich supporting your ganking options are severely limited as he has no lockdown. if a carry is losing his lane or is unable to lane because of high rotations from the opposing team or theyre a melee against an offlane like tide/bristle/ds then theyre going to have to move to jungle or completely swap lanes with the middle.
'the same game' argument does apply in low mmr pubs, but higher its anything but samey

>multiplayer game online
>it's easy!

how does that even work, since it's multiplayer? It only depend of the playerbase.

>>387046195
>Jelly
No sorry, I have something he can never have, a proper head of hair.

>>387045887
generally the better you get you more efficiently you can do things, your laner might start jungling between pushed lanes or even rotating for a kill because he knows the spawn timings of creep waves better.
Also there are different playstyles like trying to end the game in 15 minute or trying to delaying until your carry becomes unkillable, things like that can create different scenarios in how the lanes play out (like if there is more fighting or farming, more ganking or 4 protect 1)

the issue with "e-sports" is that they don't have any physical activity. You might go "hurr well so what grandpa" but its a fact. E-sports have no masculine essence to them whatsoever. In an actual Sport, there's so much more emotion and HEART involved because you're in physical stress the entire time. Look at great moments in sports history, like the matumbo finger wave or GSP doing a fucking backflip after Armbarring Matt Hughes

People take other equally involved things just as serious. Do you lose your shit whenever you see a chess or poker tournament as well?
There is a bunch of money in E-sports now? Why wouldn't they take it seriously?

How are competitve videogames less worthy of focus that hitting a ball into a hole or driving a car in circles really fast? The worst thing about our generation is that it became cool to not be passionatr about things and I'm glad the next generation aren't picking that up.

>>387049387
being passionate about driving a car really fast is respectable because there's DANGER in it. Most people laugh at golf so its a joke that you mention that. Same with Poker.

No emotion? Really?

why do you like to watch someone else playing videogames? do you like to watch someone else having sex with your wife in front of you?

"Most people laugh at it"
Most people smoke. Is smoking now good?

>hate where esports is taking gaming because it means less and less games are getting the user creation tools that allowed for all sorts of fun gamemodes / maps / mods / all sorts of shit including some of the biggest esports that exist today and any that do have them are massively shunned because the entire direction of the game is focused both developer and community wise on a very specific way to play the game.

>but any complaint about esports must mean you're a normie who doesn't want DOTA2 on ESPN or some other bullshit

isnt that what spaniars do tho

>>387049823
Your mom is some kind of spaniar yeah maybe.

>>387049602
That's retarded though. Sports are respected because they are feats of skill. Not because you pointlessly put your life on the line for no reason. That's never respectable.

Should we start handing out congressional medals to sky divers? Should the losing teams in DOTA matches be dropped into a shark tank when they lose so it can be "respectable"?

More like 9 Korean kids and 1 fat asian thats either jap or chink

I fucking hate esports, but I mainly hate the competitive mentality that's come with it. In games like Dead by Daylight where it's designed to be competitive it just creates the most hostile and tryhard environments and it just isn't fucking fun.

Even in casual games like OW I'm reluctant to play in anything but QM because ranked is so stress inducing because it's either I'm causing the problem and feel shitty, or someone else is causing the problem and I'm annoyed.

Compare that to Daniel Cormier getting knocked out by Jon Jones. It's not even comparable.

There's absolutely no reason why what you say is mutually exclusive
It's just retarded developers displaying brazen incompetence on the rise as usual, because they have nobody to make clones off of.

Those tears are more real than Bulba's?

Fuck off faggot. You're being arbitrary and retarded.

>>387049217
no you dont get it. If you did you wouldnt complain. You are scared because you dont understand, scared because you are left behind
You dont have to enjoy esports. But your strong postion against it tells a lot how jaded you are towards current trends. Dont worry old man. It'll happen to us as well.

>>387049917
>feats of skill
partially, but there's also a physical toll every single legitimate sport has that you can't get from video games.

No, it doesn't mean you should add arbitrary things like shark tanks to dota, are you fucking retarded?

But that's wrong.

>>387050217
one of those men lost a fucking video game tournament, and one of them got knocked unconscious in front of millions of viewers including their family.

You think they were even similar situations? are you actually so disconnected from reality that you think that?

How do you not get upset when your rank is dragged down due to elements that were out of your control? I can understand it in fighting games or RTS, but not with MOBA games.

It should represent individual skill level, not luck in matchmaking.
