You're only making the problem worse by getting upset over it.

You don't exactly see Coke ambassadors drinking Pepsi, do you?

IcyPepper46 votes

I see it like any other art.

Writers read other books, film directors watch other movies. There's no shame or harm in it.

AninLegions7771 votes

To me there isn't. But then in this case, Pepsi can post a picture saying "Even Coke ambassadors know the real deal". If that picture manages to change one person's choice of beverages, then harm has been done.

Yea but these aren't soft drinks. These are video games.

there is major difference between LoL, Dota and HotS but i failed to see the difference

The difference is soft drinks are delicious and make us feel good, which is why we drink them. Video games are toxic and make us feel terrible, yet we play them anyway.

you are totally wrong Video games are not toxic. They are just games. People are toxic.

Not all soft drunks are delicious. Some are pure garbage

Dude. If you think video games are meant to be fun you're on the wrong Boards.

Yes, except Rioters aren't advertising for other games. They're just enjoying them on their own free time.

There's a difference between Stephen King plastered on a billboard reading Harry Potter and just walking by Stephen King at a park reading Harry Potter.

Yeesh.

Except that unlike Coke and Pepsi, LoL and Overwatch aren't direct competitors: LoL is a moba whereas Overwatch is a team-based FPS. While there's certainly overlap in their target demographics, both games have sizeable audiences they're never going to be in danger of losing to the other just because of the different genres.

So really it's more like Minute Maid posting pictures of a Coke ambassador drinking orange juice.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I was moreso referring to how a lot of league players are quitting to go play overwatch

MOBA: Multiplayer Online Battle Arena

both overwatch and league of legends are MOBAs. So, they are direct competitors over players that like a "competitive pvp game".

ViashinoWizard3 votes

Overwatch is not a Moba. While it has a some moba elements, it's still a team-based FPS. Their core gameplay is radically different.

Serika Zero1 votes

Multiplayer game? check Online game? check Battle Arena? check

how its not a moba? its a fps moba, not all mobas have to be the same style as league, its still a moba like, a cat is a feline not all felines are cats. a lion is also a feline, yet is different from a cat

ViashinoWizard3 votes

Moba refers to third-person games in the style of Dota, LoL, HotS, etc. You can argue semantics if you want, but it won't change the fact that LoL and Overwatch are different gameplay genres.

Totally not a moba /sarcasm its the same genre, just different camera angle >.< you get first person view instead of overview for the battle field

Typically, there is one main structure which must be destroyed to win, though destroying other structures within the opposing team's base may confer other benefits. Defensive structures are in place to prevent this, as well as relatively weak computer-controlled units which periodically spawn at each base and travel down predefined paths toward the opposing team's base.[35] There are typically 3 "lanes" that are the main ways of getting from one base to another. When a hero stands near a killed enemy unit or kills an enemy unit, it gains experience points which allow the hero to level up. When a hero levels up, they have the ability to learn more powerful skills and abilities. Each player receives a small amount of gold per second from their base. Moderate amounts of gold are rewarded for killing hostile computer-controlled units and larger amounts are rewarded for killing enemy heroes. Gold is used by heroes to buy a variety of different items that range in price and impact. For the most part, this involves improving the combat viability of the hero, although there may be other items that support the hero or team as a whole in different ways. As the heroes of each team get stronger, they can use multiple strategies to gain an advantage. These strategies can include securing objectives, killing enemy heroes and farming gold by killing A.I. units. The stronger a team gets, the more capable they are at destroying the enemy team and their base.

Again, Mobas and FPS's are different kinds of games.

My sister is a Pepsi "ambassador", actually. They try to go to restaurants where Pepsi is served, but they don't turn their nose up to restaurants that serve Coke.

he's at a press conference... drinking the beverage normally in public or at home is completely different from drinking it on a press conference on tv. Also read the rest of the article... it explains why the sponsorship was really canceled and it wasn't so much to do with pepsi.

AbyssionKnight1 votes

So by that logic, I guess people who make TV shows never watch other shows on TV?

A Liberal1 votes

And people who work at restaurants should never eat at home or go anywhere else for food :)

Or they should have replaced Dwayne Johnson with someone like Brad Pitt in F&F series since he's a wrestler, not an actor.

You know Rioters are allowed to play games other than League of Legends, right? It's not like they will get fired for playing any other game.

LOL you and tons of other people downvote me yet post thousands of fucking threats bitching about how shitty the game is and how they are switching to overwatch. the irony.

Indeed, Rioters are actually ENCOURAGED to play other games than their own. And if I remember right they get a dedicated break every day to do exactly that. Play whatever game they want.

Rioters are actually ENCOURAGED and given a stipend each year to get games, for inspiration

But they don't actually play League of Legends. At least some of them clearly don't...

Also why you taking this post so seriously? It even says in the fkin post that it's a joke...

Actually, Rioters are given a budget ($300 yearly, I believe) specifically for playing other games. As a designer, it's important to stay up to date on the state of other games.

Oh boo bloody hoo, a Rioter playing another game. Turns out, other games exist. As do other media.

EDIT: Holy shit how are you so stupid you can't see that this is blatantly overreacting and dry humor for comic effect? Just the same as the OP. Fuck you Memes&Games.

It's meant to be a joke, that's why it's in Memes and Games.

As was mine.

Turns out people don't get when someone is overreacting for comedic effect.

Pÿrö2 votes

You delivered it all wrong. It's through text, so make sure you spoon feed the reader the fact that you're sarcastic/overreacting. Even with the fact that you were making the comment for comedy, it wasn't really funny even taken that way (Honestly not trying to be an ass, just letting you know why you got bad feedback, man.)

And you don't seem to get dry humour. Funny how you know how to make a sarcastic comment, but can't recognise one.

There's a difference between dry humor and being a snob.

It's funny how people disagree with that notion.
