Why is League of Legends Better than Heroes of the Storm?

011 : League of Legends vs Heroes of the Storm! | Game Design Zen

Is this the right forum? Last weekend, I was in Korea. And somehow, during a random lunch conversation, League of Legends came up. 6000 miles from home, LOL was still relevant. With two Koreans in the final championship match this weekend, it seems a perfect time to have our own contest - League of Legends vs Heroes of the Storm.

Blizzard versus Riot is a battle of titans. It's the AAA equivalent of Mechashark vs Megashark. So, let's start with some data. Of course, Blizzard doesn't release numbers. However, in a recent Activition/Blizzard press release, we could infer that between 10 - 20 M people may have registered to play Heroes of the Storm, at least once. Whereas, Riot has consistently said they have as many as 27M players every single day. This is a massive difference! And the question is, WHY?!

To share my experiences in Korea, what makes LoL great, and why LoL is better than HoTS, I released a new episode of the Game Design Zen Podcast. Enjoy.

PS - I'm betting on Korea this weekend - it's a guaranteed win :)

Me personally in my humble opinion, I feel HotS is a better game than every other typical moba/tower defense including league but i still prefer league

Don't hate me, but I like Smite. Makes the whole MOBA thing and makes it unique by having a third-person view. In terms of being better? I don't think it is better than LoL, but it does make an interesting twist that could be enjoyable.

I'm looking forward to Overwatch. The trailer video looked SO fun. Gigi
