How do you feel about Overwatch killing League of Legends?
>>341649552
feels good desu. You can't ban the bantz in an online game and not suffer the consequences.
>>341649552
I thought you had to buy a gaming license to play vidya there.
Well, that mean that Lol will get casualized even further
And doing that Riot will alienate their fanbase even further
>>341649552
Feels good knowing some of my friend's and faggot co-workers gay game of choice is dying
>>341649872
>Ban the bantz
I don't play League so fill me in.
if it means more people play Dota after LoL loses all credibility then I am for it
Good, Riot deserves to be given a reality check after coasting for so long.
They're seriously the most garbage dev.
It feels wonderful, If only they would listen and try to make their game fun instead of that abomination that it is today. The great exodus is nigh.
>>341650863
talking any amount of shit (even saying things like gg ez) *can* get you banned
>>341649552
Can you faggots take your baby's first FPS game to /vg/?
Overwatch is made for children and console players and somehow takes less skill than CoD
>>341650863
you can get banned instantly for saying faggot in the chat, but it takes ages to get banned for feeding or other toxic ways of playing. Anything remotedly offensive can get you banned, even things such as "gg ez". The Riot board is also full of SJWs.
I mean overwatch is a good game but its not going to kill LoL anytime soon. If anything, LoL will kill itself, like wow did.
5+ years league player here.
I absolutelly despise Riot and I hope they die in a fucking fire but Overmeme is just LoL2, even if it becomes bigger than league, which I think it will never be, the market will be oversaturated with more and more casual MOBAs and shitty eSport bait games.
No one here wins except the companies making money out of their shitty games.
I am happy for every successful game that is not a moba and for every moba that is declining.
Fuck assfaggots. I honestly prefer literally everything else.
>>341651420
>overwatch
>not a moba
JAAAAJAJAJAJJAJAJA
>>341649552
OW didn't kill LoL, Riot did. With Dynamic Queue and the worst PR fuck up in recent memory. They were (and still are) openly censoring and shitposting their own subreddit to try and spin DQ.
LCS viewership numbers dropped like a fucking rock.
>>341651742
>and the worst PR fuck up in recent memory
What?
>>341651627
>>341651365
I don't think you guys understand what a MOBA is.
Overwatch is FPS
>>341651627
I guess tf2 is a moba too then?
>>341651742
I'm still baffled about their backwards reasoning for no sandbox practice mode.
>>341651828
it is a Multiplayer Online game set in a Battle Arena. just cause its not a top down ASSFAGGOTS game like LoL doesnt negate that fact. tf2 is a moba, quake online is a moba, etc
>>341651828
technically not wrong because the definition of a moba is fucking trash
street fighter is my favorite moba
Watching every new game for the next 5 years be a cartoony class based FPS is going to be funny.
>>341650989
>>341651182
so its the same as in overwatch
saying ez gets you banned if you overdo it
>>341652061
the definition of all genres are fucking retarded, they're just simple terms that people can attribute to a specific type of game
they don't have to be entirely accurate, like what the fuck is an "action" game?
>>341651807
For months they said they were bringing back solo queue
.
Then they brought scarra and gbay in for a "round table" discussion. Both of them said DQ sucked and was ruining the game, Riot outright said "fuck you, we know better, DQ is here to stay".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwPa1SGLGv0
They wouldn't be taking half the heat they are right now if they were open, polite and stuck to their guns from the start.
Thank god, maybe now companies will stop the fucking MOBA ship and make something better. Hopefully valve gets off their fat ass, dumps dota, and makes TF3.
>>341652056
Well I guess any online game involving opposing teams is a MOBA then.
OH LOOK
IT'S THIS THREAD

yes, exactly. this is not complex
>>341652090
>if you overdo it
Yeah, but that's overdoing it.
In League it's one time, because they put a fucking report in front of a bunch of other SJW thin skinned kids who instantly ban people for making them cry.
I feel bad
because /v/ is going to have to hate the new popular game just to be contrarian again

Overwatch isn't as cancerous as LoL though.
All heroes and maps will be free.
Not to mention you can quit playing a match anytime you want without major penalties.

>>341652718
Riot is so bad at PR they didn't even tell Scarra and gbay what the round table was about.
I think they were hoping scarra would be more cordial and understanding because he wanted an analyst job, but fat man keeps it real. He REALLY hates DQ and he's not alone.
/r/ing Tracer intensifying.
>>341652178
>>341652415

I'd have a hard time finding more obnoxious nu-male faggots and worse wording for damage control.

I don't blame him, he was in charge of one of the most meme teams in the murrican scene and after he stopped playing in big tournaments he became a noname.
I love the guy, what a shame that the competitive league scene went down the shitter.

>>341649552
I like how moba as a genre is dying, but only because of how the most dedicated fanboys are in denial about that. It's amusing to see how they try to explain this phenomenon among themself by random shit like screencaps of Diablo chart on Google Trends.
I don't like, however, that it's Blizzard being the one to cash in on the people leaving moba bandwagon and looking for something new.
>>341652708
>Cheating all over the place
Cheating how?
>>341653704
B-but SD and Venom are good.ok maybe SD is tough to play as but still not useless.
>>341653781
You need to understand just how badly Riot fucked up.
Their subreddit went full Streisand effect when they were trying to censor and do damage control. It lost 120k subscribers in three days.
It feels good. Not because League is a bad game, but because it's unfocused rides the line between similar games, enforces its meta through deliberately designing and balancing the game around it and for every person playing league of legends there is a game that they would find more enjoyable already available, simply because of the number of mobas there are and they all know what they want better than league does
>be Riot
>make a ton of retarded decisions since the start of 6 season
>every single day boards spam ''bring back SoloQ'' threads
>lol fuck you guys it will never come back
>oh gosh we are losing players how could that happen? :(
Pretty cool. Mobas are all dreadful cancer.
>>341654000
They didn't fuck up that bad. DQ isn't bad until you're Diamond and most of the faggots who complain about it are Bronzies and Silvers. It's their new excuse for being shitters
Pretty sure riot started to die when they banned dunkey
>>341649552
Good to hear but I wonder how long it'll last. OW just released so its obviously going to have a lot of players but so far it seems like the game doesn't have a lot of content to keep players occupied for more than a dozen hours
>>341654394
What's SoloQ? Does that mean you need to party up before searching for games?
>>341653357
>>341649552
it feels like name brands are more important than depth or originality in everything, including games.
How long can a shooter be dominant for anyway?
>>341654725
and league did?
>>341654737
SoloQ is literally SOLO queue. You can't bring friends along
Shitters are complaining that the matchmaking is unbalanced because the other team might a 5 premade while the other one might be full of solo players.
Even SoloRenektonOnly switched to Overwatch and said he won't make LOL videos anymore
his very YT channel name has Renekton in it yet he fucking ditched LOL that's how unpleasant it is to play right now and if my PC wasn't a toaster I would switch too
>>341654867
Well obviously it did. As seen in the OP, its been at the top of the list for 4 years in Korea
>You lived long enough to see the Death of MOBAs
>>341654893
Which is true and they have every right to complain about it.
>>341651627
I bet you think Street Fighter is a MOBA too
>>341649552
About time shit of legends died.
>>341654835
Call of Duty 4 released in 2007
it's been one of the biggest console shooters since then
So 9 years with proper support
>>341655014
It's not. It's extremely unlikely to get matched against 5s when you're in a low rating.
Bronzies used to blame their teammates, now they're blaming the system. They'll always find something new so they don't have to realize they are just fucking shit players who will never learn to play
>>341655162
I meant Call of Duty as a whole, not 4 specifically
>>341649552
>Overwatch #1
>League of Legends #2
>This somehow means League will die
Look, I want league to die and fuck off as much as the next guy, but how does that even make sense?
>>341649552
alright. i wouldn't play either but ow has better porn
>>341655028
No but you are, a Morbidly Obese Bitching Autist.
>>341655385
the trend is that it's losing huge market share FAST.
it doesn't look good for league faggots.
>>341655385
It means its starting to lose popularity which is significant especially to a game that just came out
>>341650863
Blizzard just mutes you for talking shit too much.
Riot bans you for saying nigger twice.
>>341649552
>cancer replaces cancer

Go to /vg/, it was created for LoL, its now for Overshilled

>>341655567
literally my thoughts
>>341655509
>especially to a game that just came out
I don't think you understand how that works
Most games have a lifespan of two to four weeks. Almost all sales occur during that time and after that it'll only make a fraction of what it did during launch week
>>341655715
Even if league is absolute cancer, the game has been fun for 5 years, season 5 fucked everything up.
And still the number of players is enormous, and no amount of blizzard's marketing and waifus will change that.
Overmeme may surpass league but it will never have 62 million players at peak.
Succ it.
>>341655248
Stop shilling your dying shit game even pro players and YT celebrities ditch Riot.
>>341650904
dota was never as popular in Korea - all this means is that overwatch is the top dog now
>>341655872
>And still the number of players is enormous
Skinnerboxes hold on to people who don't understand the sunk cost fallacy for a long time.
It's not growing so it's going to die.
>>341650863
Don't listen to the retards, it's pretty much raging manchildren that got mad when they got banned after weeks of playing games where they rage in-game and shout shit like "FUCKING DIE OF CANCER YOU FUCKING NIGGER FAGGOT" and then get surprised when they eventually get banned despite several warnings and chat restrictions.
I do plenty of bantz and shittalk my opponents all the time, never been banned or even warned. You don't get banned unless you're a raging retard.
>>341655872

This is a confirmed lie, i got textbanned for writing gg ez.

was he right?
>>341657202
>a popular game will be popular
WOW IS THIS MAN A WIZARD
mobas are complete dogshit so I'm very glad. I hope they die completely and never come back. I also hope that anyone who ruined a game series by jumping on the bandwagon and having their game flop goes out of business.
I also hope this makes valve realize that they could have brought in a new crowd of people and revitalized old tf2 players by making a TF3 with less cosmetic cancer per character.

Woah dude, you must be some sort of clairvoyant.
Its a normal thing. They both cater to casuals, except Overwatch is somewhat playable solo and the matches are three times shorter
>>341655546

Sounds like they're pretty lax, friend.

Hello Gearbox
>>341649552
How can Overwatch be killing league when Riot already killed it?
They made a one hit wonder and were way too immature of a company to handle it
>overwatch is on the same level as shitty games like LoL
Sounds about right
>>341654725
OW will have more modes, more maps and more heroes coming. Instead of one map, same mode and only that 2 champions for role decent during meta changing.
>>341652708
I haven't followed LeL since 2014. I know about the dynamic queue system, but what else changed?
>Cancerous loot system where it takes forever to unlock stuff
>Cheating all over the place
>Map is worse than ever
>Masteries and Runes are fucked
Any explanation for these?
>>341652848
D3 and Sc2 are completely free for 5 years you retard.
Anti blizzard drones are even more retarded than Blizzrad drones.
>>341657202
No, Overwatch have a really really good amount of viewer\player in Russia. Overwatch is gonna beat CSGO even there.
>>341663490
>Cancerous loot system
If you perform exceedingly well in game, you can either get a key fragment or a chest, you need 3 key fragments to open a chest or you can buy a key, it contains a card that is either a champion or a skin, you then need dust to actually get it, you can either buy dust or turn other cards to dust. Skins use a different kind of dust than champions do
That's the only one I know about though
>>341649552
riot deserves to rot and burn
they've been getting progressively worse since season 2, the game is utter and complete shite
overwatch seemed pretty shit in the beta, although i gotta give it to them, genji was fun to play
>Many people play Ranked in League for self improvement through Solo Queue
>Riot takes that way from them with Dynamic Queue
>Riot is surprised when people hate it and start leaving
I don't know what they were expecting.
If Riot did what Dota did and split Party and Solo MMRs then people probably wouldn't hate Dynamic Queue as much as they do.
The only problem then is nobody gives a shit about Party MMR in Dota and it would probably end up the same way in League, but if that's what people want then let them do it.
>>341664069
Sounds pretty manageable. What make it "cancerous"?
