Taking into account pacing, frequency of action, strategic make up, decision making, etc. If any, that is.

A cross between europe football & american football; obsessive fans & excessive time-spans just talking about the match, while having repeated strategies & wagers on the side.

Golf, lots of little things lead to advantages, if you suck early it's hard to come back

But your ability to get points doesn't change, so long as you keep your head straight. From that perspective, the psychology of a losing game of Golf and a losing game of LoL are similar.

I would think that tilting on the golf course and tilting over a course of a few games of league would be similar. Golf is a mixture of where your heads at and your mechanics with a golf club

Also one mistake won't cost you the tournament but consistent mistakes most certainly will, a lot like league, or how league was last season until the death timers and snowball minions took effect

Strong decision-making required, early leads create advantages

I've always considered it (and other eSports) somewhat related to the activities of the Roman Colosseum.

You've got man vs man (hello fellow gladiator) and man vs environment (hello savage beast they let in) situations, and the audience wants a barbaric spectacle, not some peaceful gathering.
