Coprophagia ain't my thaing'

guess what farms use as fertilser.

this is a shit analogy

pun intended, bitch.

The RTS (this does not include Mobas like lol/dota/hon, etc) comp scene is shit. Literally StarCraft 2 is the only one of... one (maybe two?) that is actually active enough to receive a decent size crowd for the competitive games. But if MLG decides to drop So I'll stand by my analogy, unless someone is going to say otherwise why I'm wrong (I don't mean to imply I'm automatically right, it's just the way I'm perceiving it currently), which I'm always open to have my opinion changed.



I was not aware that a farm was considered an animal and were capable of coprophagia.

lol your analogy is saying that all RTS games are shit because they belong to that genre (good vs bad SHIT). What happens when a company makes a gg one and tons of people play it? obviously your analogy makes no sense then.

so i could simply bring up Brood War - which was disgustingly successfully and watched like a sport in terms of competitive games - it also gave rise to esports. so you could say that all these mobas owe the starcraft universe quite a bit of thanks for setting up the foundation/acceptance of watching pro gaming. everyone i knew played sc1 when i was growing up (or at least knew of it) and just because blizzard didn't quite hit the mark with sc2, does not mean the genre is crap or hopeless - it just means there is no king on the throne at this moment. soooo, BW being in the set of RTS games (all of which you say are shit) would be a counter-example. BW is still regarded, basically, as the best RTS evar (lets not forget wc3...).

sc2 isn't even that bad...still has a great following and you can always find a game when you log in - far from 'dead'. I wouldn't disagree that it is 'dying', but there is still a flicker of hope left and condemning it to being 'shit' is just silly.

I'm going to disagree and say SCBW was the most successful RTS ever, in terms of a competitive scene. Maybe one day people will awaken from their casual slumber and drift away from League for Losers and back to this great opportunity we have in front of ourselves.

Doubtful sadly... everyone is too afraid to 1v1 and actually test their own skills, so they blame their teammates in league in order to mask the fact that they might be the liability lol.

I won't disagree that there are certain appeals to team games, and I think that the concept of the "social gamer" is one that will, eventually bury the RTS genre. But I think that we'll have a backlash at some point of players who are dedicated and moderately skilled but frustrated at their lack of success on team games who come back to Starcraft...or at least that's my hope

some people quit school for starcraft
i quit starcraft for my career

Very good point ^

I don't like team games as much honestly. Or I like it where your individual effort goes further than needing a team effort.

For example, back during the days of Halo 2 or Halo 3. I could singlehandedly be a super badass and carry my teammates who are awful.

Where as in a game like League Of Legends. You can do some minor things to try and gain the edge, but ultimately you're fighting an uphill battle. It's much harder to make a difference.
