LOL VS AOV

130x·2/17/2018, 5:37:47 PM·1 votes·10,377 views

So I started playing some android mobas, AOV(Arena Of Valor) and MOBA Legends. I found that LOL is more crap than I realized.

So Moba Legends to start off with, gameplay is crap lol. But the reward/log in system was pretty entertaining. Far more than league. League is so bland and boring. Completely flavorless. That is the only good part about Moba Legends, on to the next.

AOV(Arena of Valor), which is actually owned by the same corporation that bought out League (Tencent), turned out to be very entertaining. You get daily rewards, there are quick fun events weekly. (talking 2 or 3 games and done) I was even surprised and very pleased to see they still run the pre 2018 LOL rune system minus the quints. I just love(d) the rune system. Customizing your champion is what this game was all about to me and the runes in this AOV really let you do that. They are all powerful in their own right and really can impact gameplay depending on how you set them. There is no Mastery system tho, but it is an android game so that is fine. However, the quality is almost equal that of LOL so don't mistake that statement. Also the ranked system is far superior as well. It still is based on wins/losses but also incorporates how well you did in the form of a brave point system that allows you to get a free star, or avoid demotion, based on your performance. LOL doesn't give a crap if you do well or not. Same old BORING, UNFAIR, OUTDATED RANKED SYSTEM FOR OVER 5 YEARS!!!!!!! They ruin the runes instead of fixing the core... w/e their choice. AOV matchmaking still sucks however, same as in LOL. In fact it is eerie how close the games are unmatched. Sometimes I swear I am in a game of LOL and not AOV.(Bronze in gold games, Silvers in Platinums)

Ok, so I am sure you all want me to get to the damn point, here it is. If what should be a shitty android moba is surpassing league in design, ranked system, and rewards, wtf is riot even doing? So far it looks to me like they are "updating" league to an already outdated system cash shop. As well as taking steps backwards(by removing the pre 2008 mastery/rune system) and implementing something EVEN MORE BASIC THAN AN ANDROID GAME!!!>!!>! Runes reforged, what a crock. I gave them months and I just despise them more every day. I did like customizing MY CHAMP to BE MY CHAMP, but now you are stuck with the garbage core. All it is just Masteries minus runes now. That is it. THEY ONLY REMOVED RUNES AND KEPT MASTERIES. Garbage... Despite a LOL addiction for like 5 years, I am legit losing interest in this game now. I try not to, but it is so crap I can't help it. Outdated, and not even more outdated. They took a step back pre runes/masteries to alpha stage and I can feel it. Like giving me a turd to eat when they were feeding me bread and water before. Just can't do it.

Sorry, I got carried away. LOL SERIOUSLY needs to relook at their game. Give AOV, or even MOBA a try and see what I mean. If you are like me you will find them more entertaining and rewarding which shouldn't even be possible, yet I assure you it is.

Personal opinions********* These are just opinions, ignore them please as they are just and extra addition to my above factual statements.

  1. Revert back to mastery/rune system ASAP. Keep the "Runes" and relable them masteries, then Reinstate the pre 2008 runes. Hell you can even resell them back, I wouldn't even care. But please make more or mix them up in the future.

  2. Rewards are better than they used to be, as in we actually get some. But they are still behind a simple android moba. At least catch up to them pls.

  3. Ranked system is complete trash, it always has been. Adding something like AOV's brave points would improve it GREATLY. Of course it will not be perfect so keep looking to improve but it will not be archaic trash anymore.

  4. Improve matchmaking. I know you have been struggling for years with this one. And I agree it would be a very difficult thing to master. But where it stands now it is pretty bad. Only 10% of the time do I feel like I am in a game where team skill is even. Perhaps brave points might even help with this matter since you run on an mmr system. I myself think it would.

Thanks for your time and reading through.

To me it sounds like your just tired of league. Ive played aov and at first i liked it. With all the runes, the simplicity, and me just fucking noobs over. Then i got tired of it, it just got boring and repetitive. Everyone one shots each other and if your not a tank you get one shot. Even tanks one shot. Its a one shot fiesta. Its balance issues are much worst than league. At least in league they give a shit to rework and nerf the shit out of champions. The gameplay on AOV is just not worth because if you just want to build a worrior like a carry (like they should be) you are forced to tank up for the late game. You take one step into the battle feild to poke... One shot. The laning phase is fun but the late game is a horrendous indie game mess. Tencent needa to take notes on how to manage there game. Here is a list of the most completely broken and down straight autistic things in that game.

  1. Mages: they are gross... They can feed there ass off to the adc and they are guaranteed to come back one shotting the entire team or anyone who dares to 1v1 them. Like zill, i killed the bastard 4 times in lane but with no suprise he came back 1v1ing any one and escaping with out effort picking the team off like a scary movie. Or krixie as soon as she gets her ult their team wins the team fight.

  2. Tanks its still fucking world of tanks basically with a full tank grackk one shotting you with a tap of a button. Or an aurthur running you down through your entire team just because you're the squishy target he can one shot. Don't get me started with superman or wonder woman. Not much to say here since we've all suffered some PTSD from league of tanks. At least lol has it buffered down with the conquerer keystone and a couple of nerfs. Not even mobile legends tank meta is that severe.

  3. Valhein. Although you do have to get ahead early, he is spammed in every game and im just sick of seeing that character in my games. And if he is ahead its an auto win. Not evdn an assassin can get on him. Unless you are raz because lets face that hero is just ridiculous. But even he will die trying to shut that bitch down.

  4. Lubu. Fun hero but he just falls so hard late game, kind of like aatrox before he got op again. Like he needs a scaling buff.

There are so many things wrong with tgus game. I say its not worth but then again its my opinion Yasuo
