    EA revolutionizes the MOBA genre by innovatively introducing new ways to bleed you dry with microtransactions.

    Well it looks like my roommate and his MacBook Pro are moving out soon. No more League for the foreseeable future. :(

    To be fair, their official statement thing is basically just a string of buzz words that say fuck all about the gameplay.

    Based on that much so far I'm in the camp of not giving a fuck until I see something interesting.

    hullis the general EA hate is very old hat yes but the company does have a long history of just not getting the microtransaction model

    no no, microtransactions to turn OFF in game chat

    In-game chat will be set to team chat, global chat, or enemy team chat, depending on where you pre-ordered.

    Also to be fair, they haven't officially announced it yet. Someone just stumbled across the unfinished website.

    I don't exactly get the snark here. There are games that come out with an elevator pitch that say a lot more and lay out 'this is what we want to do with this'.

    Never mind the fact that whether it's expected or not having a teaser statement say nothing at all unsurprisingly does nothing.

    About the only interesting snippet dropped is the apparent focus on player steered story and content. Which is interesting but comes off as sounding really buzz wordy because no ones really done story in a MOBA before and again, they aren't saying anything about how this might work.

    I have no idea why I'm even responding to you honestly.

    Regardless I will be keeping an eye on this because it started as a Visceral joint?

    I wouldn't describe the transaction model for items as particularly elegant.

    But man, people are just making jokes.

    When I made it I didn't realize it was going to be my display name ingame. It just sounds kind of roleplay-ish to me, every time I'd play with new people they'd sound kind of weirded out by it. I never really liked it, so I figure after over a year of not liking it I can finally change it for a semi-reasonable price.

    don't worry, you're not alone in making that mistake

    It wasn't a mistake! It was an INFORMED CHOICE!

    Well, EA grinding my friends through hellish dev cycles and then laying them off while reaping the rewards over and over again has also gotten old. If you think light ribbing and dumb punchlines about bungled user experiences on a webcomic forum is actual EA hate, I dunno man.

    yeah

    also try league and decide which one you like more

    or just play league because that's the one you'll choose anyway

    Well I did just do the tutorial.

    It doesn't seem that bad.

    I mean I know the skill ceiling is bonkers and those items seemed a little complicated, but it seems like it could be fun?
  • UrielUriel Registered User regular
    I like league alright enough, I just need something else to compare it against.
  • ThatDudeOverThereThatDudeOverThere Ymir owns. He fucking owns!Registered User regular
    hi-rez just put out a small hotfix patch for smite

    just fixes some bugs, no balance changes or anything
  • UrielUriel Registered User regular

    I have no idea how it uninstalled itself.

  • Sara LynnSara Lynn Registered User regular
    I played one game of DOTA and I had zero fun, so I will stick to League. That's just me though. Try some games out, it's free so there's nothing to lose really.
  • Blue mapBlue map Registered User regular
    Dota is definitely worth a try. I prefer it to league since there's no meta grinding nonsense and the roles in the game are a lot more free form, although the way it handles some of its RNG elements drives me up the wall sometimes.

    if you are level 19, and have no runes, facing someone who is 30, with full tier 3 runes, you will lose

    maybe not for anything related to skill

    in the meta of grinding shit out of game to increase your ingame power, you are disadvantaged for not doing it, compared to those who do

    edit: not meta in the sense of "heimerdinger trilane mid will be the hot thing this season"
