Good game, but still vastly inferior to many other games like DotA/SC2.
Once upon a time the stats for your top 3 most played champions were displayed in your profile.
How can you say it's 'vastly inferior' ?
LoL is arguably more fun to play
LoL is arguably more fun to watch
LoL has more players
LoL has more viewers
LoL has higher prize pools
LoL is made by a better company
LoL is doing the most for future eSports with their LCS system by making it a realistic opportunity for people of all regions to be progamers.
As for gameplay, the 'low skill cap' is really exaggerated, there's a reason Koreans and Chinese are much better than Americans and Europeans, if there wasn't a high skill cap then that wouldn't be possible; compare that to how many foreigners beat Koreans now days in SC2 because of the low skill cap and high volatility. Literally the only thing people from DotA say is "LoL can't deny creeps so it's low skill" but with more objectives like Dragon, Red, and Blue and even the bush mechanic of LoL makes it require the same, or near, individual skill but requires much more teamwork than DotA.
I've played both SC2 and DotA competitively and the time I've spent the last month+ learning LoL has been the most fun I've had since broodwar. The game is really well made, there's constant updates, Riot does an amazing job, the production of their tournaments blows everyone else away.
e/ also - the top champions you play is still displayed in your profile? oO;
