Well, basically, the conclusion I've come to is, what makes Smite hard and what makes League hard are completely different things, which is something I didn't understand going into it.
Smite is difficult in the whole concept of landing skillshots, more mechanical sort of things.
League is difficult in a more RTS sort of sense, map awareness, teamwork, etc.
But yet I find League pretty much, well, casual, and much easier than Smite. Which to me is a problem, because I like games that take a lot of skill to perfect.
Why does League still seem casual, even after all of this map awareness and teamwork ****? Well it's a simple explanation.
I've come to the conclusion that, even though what makes Smite hard and what makes League hard are completely different things, well, I find the things that make League hard, easy.
Like I said, what makes League hard are things like map awareness and other RTS elements.
These things, however, come insanely natural to me. When I play Smite, I use these elements almost passively, because I'm so used to them.
The other thing that frustrates me about League is this:
Let's say in Smite I am playing Rama and I am in a duel with a Neith. This Neith is 3 levels higher than me and has a whole item above me.
If, however, I am genuinely more skilled then they are, there's still a large chance that I can outplay them and win.
In League however, if we take the same scenario with two similar characters, the person ahead will almost always win, since autos are not skillshots, so it essentially becomes a dps race.
You could just say "Oh well the idea behind League is that they don't get ahead in the first place"
And you're correct. But the fact is that it is still a very frustrating game to play when this happens.
The bet is over very soon, and I've just been playing Karthus. Because Karthus allows me to channel all of my hatred for this horrible excuse for a moba, by playing a champ that is insanely easy and trolly.
That is all.
You all have good points, but my original opinion still stands about League. Whether you think it's a valid opinion or not is up to you, but to be blunt I don't really care. I'm probably going to stop playing League because I really want to start practicing more with our "sorta growing competitive" team a little more than I have been.
Ye how could somebody dare to answer a question he wasnt asked.
*Sigh* Did you even read my post? I sarcastically asked dacoqrs if he knew what the word ironic means because I failed to see how my seconded post made my first post ironic. It doesn't matter if he, you or I don't know Obama knows what the word "ironic" means because that wasn't the answer I wanted.
What a foul. Get off your high horse m8
You just further proved my point that you have been adding nothing to this discussion except make me look like an *******. Please stop throwing dirt at people and actually make an argument or go do something valuable with your time.
I fail to see how that's ironic. The first time he told you that your opinion doesn't mean that the game itself is bad. Now he's saying that saying that it's your opinion makes it seem like you're saying Quinn is op just because you played bad against her. If anything, the two statements are similar.
Also, idk why you guys say that the tier lists I posted are bad because of "Annie mid god tier". Most of tier lists actually agree that Annie is a top tier mid pick (or at least WAS in 5.4) So are you guys saying that a lot of tier lists for this game are bad?
Nah, it's less about the annie but about other champions who are put too high or too low auch as azir, fiora, ezreal, ashe, etc
And i think Annie isn't really god tier, more like tier 1 and fotm
Yes, because as creator of the blog, I am obligated to personally answer every single comment I receive, even if I may be busy with other things.
I am currently level 10, but playing with 30s, according to LoLNexus. This is probably because I am usually partied with four other 30s.
About Karthus taking skill and concentration or whatever, you're probably right, but at this point he's a joke to play. Pretty much, at this point, since my opinion of League isn't likely to change, I've pretty much decided that I'm going to play mechanically unchallenging champions, because, well, it's an easy game already. Anyone recommend some? I already have Garen, Warwick, Karthus, Teemo, and Fiddlesticks.
Well as my questions only require short answers and you are answering to other people, I thought it wouldn't be such a task.
I am sorry, but if you are playing as a 10 level with 30 level people, you are playing with low MMR people. That means they are people who haven't really had luck with their games. Therefore, I suggest that you try to get to level 30 and start playing rankeds in order to get the true image of LoL.

Couldn't have typed it better myself.
Let's look at the facts:
Quinn's popularity is low, her win rate is average and her ban rate is literary at 0%.
Not really the states fitting of a "overpowered" champion, is it?

I didn't ask you. Please stop trying to bully my posts and instead actually add something to the discussion.
I love how you are still disregarding my question and my other comment.

Yes. As in, it's ironic that you're trying to tell me to specifically not differentiate whether I am making a general statement rather than specifically stating that this is simply my opinion, when you first posted that it's not fair because you thought I was implying that my post was a fact.
