all MOBAs are terrible as are the people who play them
[QUOTE=voltlight;39947604]I am actually a bit annoyed about how Valve went about making Dota 2 popular, however. I recall they payed one of the biggest teams in HoN to migrate over to it, and they were my favorite.. They payed a few teams to swap to their game, actually. Sucks.[/QUOTE] ...wait, what?
[QUOTE=BrainDeath;39948028]all MOBAs are terrible as are the people who play them[/QUOTE] mobas are literally warcraft 3 for people who don't have the mental capacity to manage more than 1 unit.
Both fucking suck because the playerbase rages harder than cod kids and battlefield bastards combined whenever you fuck up slightly. It doesn't matter the actual game itself. The playerbase alone is fucking terrible enough to make me stay the fuck away from both games. This applies to MOBAs in general.
I like to think League of Legends and DotA teamfight's are like two different types of battles. LoL is the European battlefield, iron armor, lots of trades back and forth. More blunt hack and slash. DotA is like a duel between Samurai, where one move pretty much seals it. More dexterity and focus.

A short fight settles it.
[QUOTE=Gate;39948095]source on this?[/QUOTE] Some HoN teams switched to DotA2 for the international, not because Valve paid them. Riot is the company responsible for paying off teams, and organizations.
[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;39947077]the meta is so strict Riot ban people that don't follow it.[/QUOTE] Nope. [editline]17th March 2013[/editline] Also, I know everyone wants to go on for pages and pages about how their slightly different game is way better, but please let's keep this civil
[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;39947077]the meta is so strict Riot ban people that don't follow it.[/QUOTE] absurd rumors like this also don't help the situation

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;39948232][t]http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=490333&d=1342634409[/t] what about this[/QUOTE] [url]http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=27102317#27102317[/url] TL;DR he randomed to troll a ranked match
[QUOTE=SataniX;39948257]He was in ranked and tried to pick a random champion?[/QUOTE] Every game you matchmake for in Dota is ranked and you don't see people getting banned for randoming in that.
[QUOTE=SataniX;39948257]He was in ranked and tried to pick a random champion?[/QUOTE]And that resulted in a ban, hence the problem.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;39948232][t]http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=490333&d=1342634409[/t] what about this[/QUOTE] that's not for not following the meta, that's for randoming in ranked mode. the only reason you'd ever random in ranked mode would be to ruin the experience for the other players on your team. when you play ranked everyone claims a position in the game, and when you random, especially when you're the last to pick, you're pretty much telling your teammates to go fuck themselves [editline]17th March 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Banned?;39948283]Every game you matchmake for in Dota is ranked and you don't see people getting banned for randoming in that.[/QUOTE] and every game you play in LoL isn't ranked, that's why if you want to random you should play non-ranked in order to prevent ruining other players' experience
[QUOTE=Banned?;39948283]Every game you matchmake for in Dota is ranked and you don't see people getting banned for randoming in that.[/QUOTE] When you're intentionally picking a random champion just to fuck up your team's chances, then I see no problem with banning him temporarily.
not to mention you can't back out of randoms in LoL like you can in dota
[QUOTE=SataniX;39948315]When you're intentionally picking a random champion just to fuck up your team's chances, then I see no problem with banning him temporarily.[/QUOTE] Randoming in DotA can fuck your team up too but people aren't banned for it.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;39948232][t]http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=490333&d=1342634409[/t] what about this[/QUOTE] Ranked is where you try to win. Let's say you were left with the role of Jungling and you random into Sona. You can't expect to jungle Sona, a support who has less base health then a cannon minion, and do good. This is generally what we like to call a troll. It ruins the fun of the game when you're stuck with a player who obviously isn't trying to win in a game-mode with the entire purpose of...[i]trying to win.[/i]
[QUOTE=EliteGuy;39948337]Randoming in DotA can fuck your team up too but people aren't banned for it.[/QUOTE] Well that's bad point for Dota, rather than a bad point for LoL to be perfectly honest. Also, you wouldn't be banned for randoming in a normal matchmade match anyway, only in a ranked match.
[QUOTE=EliteGuy;39948337]Randoming in DotA can fuck your team up too but people aren't banned for it.[/QUOTE] League has a peer review system in place to ban toxic players I don't see the problem with banning people that ruin games intentionally
[QUOTE=rilez;39948358]League has a peer review system in place to ban toxic players I don't see the problem with banning people that ruin games intentionally[/QUOTE] It's not like Dota 2 doesn't have a report system that works either. They'll even give you a message when someone has action taken against them.

[QUOTE=rilez;39948358]League has a peer review system in place to ban toxic players I don't see the problem with banning people that ruin games intentionally[/QUOTE] yeah i get that, but why is there an option to pick a random champion in ranked if it's only use is to troll people? [editline]17th March 2013[/editline] wouldn't the solution be to just take it out so people can't do it?
[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;39948413]yeah i get that, but why is there an option to pick a random champion in ranked if it's only use is to troll people?[/QUOTE] because it wasn't something that had been a noticeable issue up until a riot member witnessed it for himself i think it's been removed ever since then, though i don't know as i don't play ranked

Sure every other MOBA is full of "pro" tryhards but they don't punish you for trivial sperg shit.
[QUOTE=JustGman;39948458][img]http://i.imgur.com/Auy8v4A.jpg[/img] Out of every MOBA LoL definitely has the worst community.[/QUOTE] I disagree. Having played the vast majority, I find League (at the higher levels, atleast) to have the least problems. In games of Dota2 I've played pretty much every match I've played ends up 4v5 or worse because someone ragequits, whereas LoL (and I believe SMITE) actually punishes leavers. Then again, League is the only one of them that I've reached the highest levels and into competitive play so it's not exactly a fair comparison.
[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;39948413]yeah i get that, but why is there an option to pick a random champion in ranked if it's only use is to troll people?[/QUOTE] Picking a random champion doesn't mean you're trolling. But in this scenario, he used it to troll. It doesn't matter what mechanic he used... he could have picked any champion, fed on purpose, bought a bunch of wards and put them all over spawn, AFKed all game, whatever. Just because that's "part of the game" doesn't mean it's not trolling.
