Cause LoL doesn't get more balance patches than a "competitive" game.

/looks at WoW, CS, any modern FPS, and SC2

Oh wait...

Every game is competitive, League of Legends is competitive because it got a very active competitive scene. A game doesn't have to aim for the few pros to be competitive, it only has to be hard to master.

And League of Legends is damn hard to master.

It makes a lot better business sense to release champions on the strong side and then nerf them later compared to the opposite. :P

It's probably easier on the designers too, I mean it's generally pretty easy to see what's causing a problem and needs to be nerfed on overpowered champions, but it can be hard to figure out what needs to buffed on weak champions.

Sure every game can be played competitive. But that doesn't mean the game is competitive.

I like to see League of legends as the Call of duty of ARTS / MOBAS.

Or maybe the Super smash brothers of MOBAS / ARTS.

LoL has a nice eSports following that you will never recognize huh?

A game is competitive when people can start to make serious money off of playing it. Not just "pro" reward money, but good old sponsorships and what-not.

You can only do that if you have a fanbase - LoL has a fanbase because it's easy to watch.
Everything is clearly defined, you don't have complicated messy skills that make people go: "What the hell just happened?" - Well, maybe some skills do that.



Who here's seen ProtatoMonster? LoL Top 5 plays done every week?
They only came out this year, and already have a youtube partnership and other nice deals - That's when you know a game's gotten into the big leagues. People are so excited by the replays, that money can be made off them. :P

My point is, people play competitive call of duty. But the game clearly is made for brainless shooting and grinding ranks.

League of legends is clearly made to appeal to casual players. There is no denial. If league of legends was going for a competitive game. They would do a lot of different things.

Like what?

LoL fits the definition of a competitive game already.
You're just leaning back towards your own opinion.

LoL, in my opinion, is the better way to go about a competitive game. Easy to understand BUT have deep and intricate interactions that make it more then a child's game.
It's better this way. More fun for everyone, more money to be made, win-win-win situations.
