[Kirkendall 1st MRB]

Reviving this topic because Steam just gave me 4 extra copies to hand out. Who wants 'em?

[Kirkendall 1st MRB]

I'm sure Valve is completely worried about DotA 2 population. Especially since LoL is based off of the 1st DotA.

Or, this has been their marketing strategy from the start. As of right now, DotA 2 is technically unreleased and it's very popular, just as LoL is.

[Kirkendall 1st MRB]

*gasp*!

You mean to tell me that DotA 2 isn't the most popular game online!? Man, you'd have thought I said it was equivalent in player numbers! Not that I said they are both very popular games. Never mind that DotA 2 is the second most popular game right now, behind League.

Well I guess every other game out there "pales in comparison" to League because no other game has the player statistics! We should all bow down to WoW as the god of all MMOs because it had the highest player base.

I'll just stop playing any other game because of numbers! That must mean everything! Disregarding everything I said at first especially that DotA 2 is unreleased! Disregarding that LoL has a two year advantage and that it is absolutely free so their player numbers are skewed! Disregarding all smurf accounts that wouldn't be near as easy to create repeatedly, or spammer accounts!

Just because a game is younger and has less players doesn't mean it pales in comparison. How else does a company promote a game that is not free to play and unreleased? Unless you pay $30, you don't have access to the game. Sure, they hand out freebies, but that doesn't equal going to leagueoflegends.com, downloading a free client, and creating a free account. Last time I checked DotA 2 ties your account to your Steam account. $30 for a smurf? No thanks.

Just because DotA 2 doesn't have a fancy flow chart means absolutely nothing.

[Arevicci]

according to your logic than Farmville is the MOST popular and played game today. 80 million strong, 80,920,421 to be exact.

Has anything changed in DOTA 2? I've been meaning to give it another shot, but havent had the chance cause of work. I played LoL for a bit and enjoyed it and i found DOTA 2 a bit more enjoyable. Not sure why.

[Yamagata 1st MRB]

It's a complexity thing, I like LoL because it's simple. DOTA has a lot of bells and whistles, and I feel like the gaming mechanics are a bit more complex, a lot of people like that.
