What happened to the gritty dark fantasy we once had?

being forced to counterpick is half the game, and that’s boring to me.

I kind of agree with this. Probably part of why ARAM is so popular.

But Id personally rather deal with counter picks than a mirror match like you get in blind draft.

At least in WoW, I can play my class/spec every match that I want to.

Thats kind of a downside. Considering how boring it gets because WoW has nothing like loadouts to mess with.

And leveling up and gearing a new toon is always a pain.

In league people usually just devolope a small pool of characters they like…which is fine imo.

And selfish players end up throwing games, for their own reasons.

Compared to WoW where one of your teammates can literally be afk and you still stomp the BG…how is that better?

Yea teammates can be annoying. League has arena now which is 2v2 of you only wanna play with your friend.

I like playing tanks.

Playing a tank in a moba is way more fun than playing a tank in WoW.

Okay and in absolutely none of those ancient stories or painting will you find anything remotely resembling a vulpera from WoW.

Because it didnt exist. You can find cat humanoids that actually look kind of cool and menacing or creepy and otherworldly.

Not this femcat fetish nonsense.

Sure.

Nor will you find anything in werewolf mythology that resembles the modern day depiction of werewolves, or Worgen for that matter.

Because it didn’t exist.

We anthropomorphize things as a very human trait, it has nothing to do with furries.

Well, it generally doesn’t happen in rated in WoW.

That’s like going AFK in ranked lol, you do that repeatedly, your account is getting suspended. And tanked like -200 rating.

Tbh, it probably happens in both games, AFKs and DCs, and then the match ends prematurely.

I probably only had one BG Blitz so far, where it was 7 vs 8 because we were missing a player.

And that was out of like, ~50 games or however many I’ve got. It’s rare.

As it should be- League would do the same.

I, too, hang around the forums of games that I feel suck and that I don’t play any longer. You know, like a normal person.

At least I can que up for a league match and find one in less than 5 minutes. Unlike BG blitz.

And Im not being matched againt multi time AWC winners 2000 rating.

And league doesnt require 3rd party addons to play.

And it doesnt require playing thru a boring 8 hour tutorial every 2 years. Oh and you cant pay for power like you can in WoW…

WoW is a crap-tier game.

Eh I like talking about game design. Especially in the context of WoW.

Sue me.

I played a lot of top lane heroes in normal games, and annoyed my ex to no end on account of the fact that I was apparently actually good when I went full tryhard but almost never did that because it was boring as all hell to do.

MOBAs were just too sweaty for me. I had a lot more fun when I moved to Overwatch with a group of friends who are like silver at best in ranked, and we’d just play the turbo casual modes and I didn’t need to try hard.

You like talking about bad game design that you want, or game design that never existed.

You like talking about how you dislike MMOs. And how you push for WoW to be a single player game.

No, but it requires a decade+ of knowledge of all the champions added to the game, just like knowing what other classes do in WoW PvP.

Someone that knows all the champs, is always gonna counterpick you at select.

Neither of these games are really good for noobs, they’re both kinda established at this point lol.

You do like talking, that much is clear.

Yea league has a big problem of 90% of the people playing it have been playing it for 10 years.

I feel bad when I play with my buddy. Everybody else in the lobby is such a sweetlord and he is just learning.

But it toughened him up. Now when he ques without us he dominates.

Yea we can agree with that.

They both do have that problem.

No I want WoW to stay multiplayer.

But the game would be 10x better if other players just appeared as ghosts outside of major cities. Like in Dark Souls.

That way they cant ruin the quest youre doing or complete it for you. Unless you invite them to your group.

But people hate progress…they want the same old crap.

It ran away to diablo 4. Seriously the first cinematic for the new expansion is as dark and gritty as a grindhouse film.

Seeing people in the open world is one of the best things about WoW.

And you will still be able to see them. Wave to them. Whisper them. And invite them to your group.

All of the upsides. None of the downsides.

Nah.

Its better as it is. All of the upsides. No downsides.

We dont need another version of “phasing”.

You ever doa job you really love but decide to move on? Yeah dude stuff gets old. Ur just not a child anymore and simple stories (like wow has always been ALWAYS) DONT DO IT FOR YOU.
