The new style PvP battles in LoL are highly entertaining, but I ccant stomach the old school PvEvP modes, they are such long matches & if you end up with a team that sucks you would rather it be over quickly than drag on for an hour.

"Curse you! It does, however, follow the trend for gratuitous F2P coverage here."

That trend started about four years ago mate. It won't be long before we have an article where another MOBA is declared the Lotro of MOBA's or the Call of Duty of MOBA's. :)

Actually if someone made a real FPS MMO....that'd be kinda interesting, wouldn't it?

I am even surprized that people still play this game... at one time it was an amazing game but sadly it came down to who could buy more gold to gear up and if you didn't have the best gear  (pvp) well then it wasn't worth playing :) again another game ruined by gold sellers =(

Freakin OP purple caster minions, giving the enemy gold!

Although seriously MOBAs without item scaling/power scaling would be....bloodline champions.

And that suceeded...oh wait...

If you don't realize why they penalize you for leaving a match; you really are not that bright.

I'm not going to sit here and claim I'm a genius, but even I can see how quickly people would quit soon as 1 or 2 skirmishes went badly for them.

If you picked a 5 v 5 classic it's going to be a long game (they even tell you beforehand).  If one person leaves your team is at a heavy disadvantage (unless the other team has the same issue).

On a sidenote, if you play this game, you should know you installed a virus along with it.

PMB.EXE - Pando Media Booster runs whether you are playing LOL or not.  You should see the net traffic it generates whether you are playing LOL or not.  

Only a sleaze bag company would do that.  I could not deinstall LOL fast enough.  

All I see is that Lol is a watered down version of Dota and HoN. I'm not really interested, its is more suited for casuals while HoN is for serious players. All these "anti-fun" mechanics that LoL removed actually added a lot of depth to the game. Yes, creep denying is important. Gosh, I can't imagine playing without it.

While initially I was not sure of the game compared to dota it easily won me over with the easy gameplay. Disliked the match making system early on and the champion balance, which becomes increasingly difficult with a new champion every 2 weeks.

Great for casual players and some hardcore players, but the most hardcore will probably play this in addition to dota and hon.

People love easy game modes and it is a reason why so many people stay.

 Pretty sure Pando Media Booster is just for the file sharing.. You do know you can uninstall it after you finish installing LoL right? Lots of F2P use PMB

i feel LoL is inferior in pvp design and WAY overhyped.

Like DAOC the pvp is really lame and short-lived in termsof strategy and abilities. PVP is short and unsatisfying and lack sdepth. it is like playing Gauntlet at the arcade with one or 2 extra buttons or abilities. Compared t a dedicated deep real time strategic PvP game like Regnum Online or even Neverwinter Nights, LoL and DAOC fell far far behind in terms of satisfaction. And no amount of media hype, champion ladders, player banning systems etc etc can overcome it. LoL and DAOC are just.. boring after about 20 minutes. Whereas RO and NWN you can keep playing for many hours and still new combos and strategies keep appearing to be tested.

Actually mmorpg.com should delete reviews which includes junk on how good the developer is selling its game rather than focussing on the content and play quality of the game itself.

Why is this game on this site and if you pushing moa games then put the original DOTA  or DOTA2 and HON and not a crippled dota clone.

And stop calling it e sports? This game has no place next to CS or SC 2. This  game hasnt even a replay feature...

i stopped reading at 9.5 aesthetics... what a lie.
