pretty much the ceo of worldgames came out and said to an interview this game is a joke..(not like that but that's how it sounded)
LOL :D best trolling ever - ceo of worldgames xD
WoonStruck16 votesThis game is a joke.
Look at it from a balance perspective. It will never be taken seriously until it cleans up.
SirTeemoMushroom5 votesso... never

Its bad but much better than many other popular video games.
WoonStruck1 votesActually, its much worse.
You'd be challenged to find a worse one.

You ever play hearthstone before?
WoonStruck1 votesIn what way is it unbalanced?
YoungFarmer1 votesIn what way is it unbalanced?
Some cards are OP, and other cards are very underpowered. Same ways as league some things op and some things are trash tier. I do think that league is unblanced but honestly I would say that league is one of the harder games to balance. You have items, champions, masteries, and summoner spells that you have to work with. If you go to games like Call of duty or hearthstone you only have like single elements to nerf. For example Call of duty: this guns over powered people who use it win so many games or whatever all you have to do is nerf that one gun or that one grenade its easy to nerf and balance.
WoonStruck1 votesOf all of the games in League's class (MOBA), League is doing the worst balance-wise over a long period.
Even the games that are dead and gone now had better balance than League.
Ralanr9 votesI'm not even sure they accept esports. I doubt most organizations outside of esports actually consider esports a sport.
Hell, I don't really consider esports as a sport. I'm sure someone who explain the common ground that allows it to qualify, but that's not much to convince someone that believes sports are at the very least physical.
P4stry16 votesChess is considered a sport...

Ralanr11 votesYou don't need to be smart to play the basics of chess. You do need to have a few things beyond that to play chess on a professional level.
Same with how a pro league player has more skill and game knowledge than an average league player.
SirTeemoMushroom2 votes[deleted]
Ralanr9 votesAnd how is that any different from comparing your average league player to a pro?
SirTeemoMushroom2 votes[deleted]
Ralanr12 votesPentas are not the main display of skill in this game.
The game isn't about kills.
Nuparu5 votesMuch like how an average bronze/silver player will die probably upwards of 10+ times and then ragequit in a Challenger game.
Different game, but skill discrepancy still exists.
Meep Man16 votesAll I need to play Chess is a board and pieces.

Flitchee11 votesWell we know what elo you are.
6Sfool6 votesAgreed. I go a bit further and say golf is not a sport either. It's a leisure activity with minimal physical activity.
Mostro Gallo1 votesYou cannot be serious...have you ever played golf?
Ralanr2 votesAt first glance it pretty much is a leisure activity. But like all "sports" their is a skill gap.
Xandraelle2 votesIts not a sport, and people who play this game are not athletes. its a game. An E-Game
Matake9 votesIn a game where the outcome is decided at champion select, I wouldn't expect anyone to take this game seriously. It's really not a sport. It is in fact the opposite of a sport.
DarkRitual3 votesEven in real sports, there are games that are decided before anyone steps on the field.
Sorry Cleveland Browns fans.

This guy gets it.
"Dude, let's ruin Shen for even the highest levels of solo queue because his ult is good for the LCS".
Actual players believe this. Those actual players are stupid subhuman shit-eaters.
Xandraelle1 votesShould be E-Games anyways, Esports sounds like a whole bunch of neckbeards that want to be cool and try to be part of something they aren't.
Ahristocats6 votesthis thread will be filled about people that played league their whole life saying that it's the biggest esport while not bothering to look at other mobas/other games
lmfao
LankPants15 votesBy viewership League is unarguably the biggest Esport. I don't see any better metric you could use to judge the best Esport than that.
Ahristocats1 votescompare the number of viwers to the population of league, then you will understand
meanwhile dota had 2 millions viewers out of 10 million players which is nealry 20% of the population
LankPants12 votesBasically what you're saying is that League actually has some casual appeal? There will always be a subset of a game that just play the game and give 0 fucks about it as a competitive title. The main difference between LoL and DotA is that DotA falls flat on it's face when trying to attract these players and that's lead to it being a far more niche game.

Ralanr4 votesThat early game loss is the reason why the mean ADC in 2K17 LOL exists.
Oleandervine6 votesJust because some CEO doesn't believe it's an eSport doesn't mean it isn't. Almost every other news source out there, including Yahoo, MSN, and hell, even ESPN categorize League as an eSport and have some degree of coverage on it.

Ralanr5 votesIt's not like people who have spent their entire life on a topic have been proven wrong before...
ProfDrDeath9 votes^This is quite a regular occurence, tbh. Especially in science.
For example, with the discovery of the quantified nature of light (and thus, quantum physics) - lots of established scientists back then believed in the existence of a light aether or stuff like that. Max Planck, who made the discovery, initially did his stuff researching to support that theory - but his results convinced him that it was bogus.

Miror B6 votesThe biggest problem with this game is that many people kinda think it's "peaked" already making it super risky to not only build things around (like an "olympics") but also to invest in (hence why a ton of orgs went with cs:go/overwatch, and only chose this one as a secondary/"last resort" option). Combined with the fact that rito makes massive changes every 2 weeks that more or less "screw the balance" of the game over and over again, and it does indeed make this game look a lot more "children's game" than it does "thing that could potentially contend with things like mlb/nfl/nba for viewership/audience".

i don't think that will ever happen tbh. Not in the states at least
Hauling Ashe3 votesHow is this news? Why was commentary even necessary? Videogames are simply not sports. I don't care how you label it. Mashing on a controller/clicking a mouse/pressing keyboard buttons takes no physical exertion. I can take air hockey more seriously as a sport than I can take "esports".
SSJTribe2 votesAs someone else posted, how do you feel about chess? It is widely recognized as a sport and likely takes less / similar physical exertion than a Videogame.

I was a rising superstar. Then I reached for that rook, blew out my shoulder, tore my ACL and bam. Chess career over.
