DOTA2 won't kill LoL, and it won't really effect it either. At current LoL is the 'WoW' of the MOBA world, nothing is going to harm it for a long time. You're all just caught up in DOTA2 because it's new and flashy, just like SWTOR was, and RIFT.

Meh I think you guys will be suprised how succesfull DotA 2 will be... I played the Beta and I still find it meh. DotA 2 will prob compete with LoL, but LoL keep staying at the top hands down.
I agree, and I don't think there's any existing Moba games that can be on LoL's level competitively.

I am in the beta too and I have to agree that I enjoy Dota 2 way more than LoL. The one thing I dont like is that they dont have a surrender feature ye but i think they will put that in the game as well. People generally arent attracted to Dota 2 because of the high skill cap and the very long matches. With the release of Dota 2, LoL is definately gonna lose a big amount of players but still will be one of the most popular Moba's out there.
Humans are conservative. Especially LoL players. They are scared to fail in DotA2, and better stay with LoL and use their knowledge there.
I am a LoL player since Kennen-Release, and I will jump on the DotA2-Train. I will defenitely fail very hard and feed like mad in my first matches, but that won't change the fact, that I actually dislike LoL now.
As s.o. already said : LoL is like WoW of the MOBA-Genre. So no one can stop it anymore, because there are already too many players. But DotA2 won't drop like Rift or SWTOR. It is better as LoL, and ppl who play it know it.
The late start is the biggest problem for Valve here. Unless Riot isn't as stupid as Nexon or alaplaya, they will keep their distance to DotA2 with their huge kiddy community. Ppl want to win. Kids want to win even more. So which game is easier? -> More wins.
Thats all, ah and Riot Balancing just sucks (or is it Morello). (And the atm unchangeable meta... just hating it... <.<)

League has the benefit of age. It is the same reason nobody can kill WoW in the MMO Genre. It's player base is already built up. I believe that Dota will have a fan base, but it won't 'kill' league. League has already installed itself into the community.
