Social aspect of LoL was the main draw to me. But now that everybody's a dick, literally no reason to log on unless you can get a big group of friends.

Im leaning twords the casual aspect of it. Games now a days are so dumbed down, I think the majority of people getting into games want to be good right away which is why LoL and games like it are so popular. compare the first cod game with the ones that are out now, or vanilla wow to MOP, even sc2 with SC1 (12 unit control groups ect).

Thats why i think LoL is more popular than dota, any 14 year old can pick it up and do fairly decent, which wont happen in dota. fewer people have the attention span to get good at dota

Lots of instant gratification and a small learning curve go a long way.

As i already stated im plat in lol and gold in sc2.
Fact is i play sc2 since 1 week and i never ever played wc3 sc1 or similar games.
And i've played lol for more than 2 years.
And i lold about the most retarded post thing.
It's just FACTS, when your success pretty much relates also on your team mates performance rather than single player skill it will obviously be harder to climb.
Make sense please.


are you really bragging about being gold?

League is more popular because there is a bigger incentive to play whether it be the money and paid housing or socializing with your friends. Many people begin to play the game because it's quite frankly, more simple than most other games, since many people don't have the time to commit themselves to a game, they can just play a League game here and there. What makes the game difficult is teamwork involved in each match, making a game that is simple, very strategic, especially with the flood of characters in the game itself.

Well looking the fact that I wasn't ever gold, i got ranked to plat after my first 5 matches, I wouldn't call your progress "fast", and I'm nothing special.

I haven't played League but pretty much any game is better than SC2. Blizzard completely dropped the ball so hard and wasn't able to live up to the Starcraft name. Everything until now was fueled by hype. The game has no real longevity.
