Why i think LoL will not be successful. - League of Legends Community
Instead of putting huge text blocks im just gonna list points that i feel LoL should address or look at, i been playing dota since it came out and hon since beta release.
- Too much right clickin, it is so annoying, i cant recall any game in the past i played where i had to right click non stop.
- Pre game selection. Way too many things to deal with for a game that is supposed to be fair, i dont understand why you need 3 tier of runes, so many runes, so many crafting and stats just too much for a start and too much overdone.
- Fog. Fog in dota saved me and denyd me ton of kills, it was part of the game and the feeling of "jukin" someone with 10hp because of fog made the game even more amazing.
- Changed things for the sake of changing. A = Attack, why is it X ?, why is the health bar taking so much space in the middle of the screen and 5 spells and keys all overcrowded on left corner, why are the hero icons in the minimap (when 4-5 heros fight u cant even see who is there).
- Games feel extremly slow, character walking and such.
- Denys (if you played dota/hon u know the difference it made), it changes the outcome in early game where you deny gold and xp and keep the lane steady.
- Why does every hero have free teleport???
- Talent trees, is this diablo2 or world of warcraft now?? I want to play a game where i can pick a hero and fight, not spend 25min pre game dealing with his runes and which to combine and which talent spec, just feels like LoL is trying to add too many things to a game that should be a simple concept yet efficient. To me this is like if another company picks up Counter strike and then adds things like before you spawn you gotta choose with item goes on your weapon, what type of bullet you want, what type of costume you want to fight with... wtf? You can't say masterys and talents arent needed because they do make a diference so you do need them.
- "OWN" when a hero is killed needs to be turned off, "own" was cool in 2002. Hearing it each 1min in the game is really annoying, at worst make it UT voice or quake... whenever i hear "OWN" i feel like im playing with 10yo kids.
- Matchmaking, its taking too long.
There is a few nice points on LoL, hero looking is nice, thats all i can think of that is positive, the chat system looks like its not even done so cant say things about that.
edit Since so many people dont understand why i said so much right clicking in my first point, in dota or hon when you play especially at the start easely 1/3 of ur clicks are left because of how much denys or harass or creep you do while in LoL, your right clicking everything or more like 9/10 ur right clicking. So saying that you right click more in dota then you do in LoL is complete bullshit.
