Largely because it's a mashup of Unreal Tournament 1 and Unreal Tournament 2003 announcers (with the exception of the Team Wipeout, which they completely forgot to reverb the hell out of).

Is this a poor man's version of unreal v quake chat?
Glad it's doing so well, means other games will have to do more entice people to play them.
Prefer dota 2 by a considerable stretch; those crying about Lol's is brilliant to see.

Nothing beats Unreal announcer. NOTHING.
I honestly never understand these arguments. I prefer LoL but I've played nothing but DotA2 recently as a nice chance of pace. It's a fun game. They're both enjoyable for different reasons to me.
Of course, that DotA2 reason right now is Storm Spirit and Force Staff but still.
Dota 2 "copied" HoN's, which I designed, and I work for Riot now... sooooooooooo~

Typical!
Good stuff. I really prefer HoN to Dota 2 in almost every single facet.
Although I'm not sure I can ever forgive you for designing Emerald Warden.

Might be the fact you can add friends on lol whilst steam requires you to purchase something before you can add people

I certainly wish DoTA 2 was less obtuse. I remember I was chatting with some DoTA 2 players about that shit. Not one of us could correctly explain every damage type in the game and the differences between them off the top of our heads, neither could anyone correctly explain how to tell what effects would or would not be stopped by BKB.
a lot of awkwardness comes from its wc3 engine heritige. they're just focused on porting the game 1:1 for now - when dota2 becomes the flagship dota game, im sure they'll work on making the game more consistent

But then the awkwardness is already ingrained in the mechanics... I wish they were actually doing a sequel, but it's a straight identical port with shinier graphics. That also bugs me.
So... Yes?

All I wanna know is where da black champions that don't look like they're fresh out the jungle at, Riot??? Nome?
And fuck alt skins, I mean someone original. Dota2 has like 3 or 4 chocolate heroes. Step your game up, LoL.

Smite is pretty fun but between LoL and DotA2 it's hard to make time.
Not if you enjoy silencing. Outside of one move they share very little else in common at this point in time.

Nidalee, of course.
well, we all can't have good taste.
I played Smite for about a month with friends...worst moba experience of my life. Might give it another whirl. I have to believe it's gotten better.

is it better or worse that Chen literally spends most of his time in the jungle
This is the primary problem with F2P on consoles.
The F2P model in its most successful forms thus far has gotten very, very low average revenue from each individual player. There is the occasional "whale" (the term for someone who spends hundreds or thousands of dollars on items), but the last I'd heard Riot's average revenue per player was about 5 dollars because there are so many freeloaders and people who try it once or twice then quit. Further, there is no need to spend money in LoL or (especially) in DotA 2, or any of the other very newest wave of F2P which are even less restrictive than LoL.
A model like that only works on very large install bases, and the PS3/360 simply don't have that. Keep in mind that "large install base" is relative here; compared to billions of PCs, the consoles have not sold much. And you really do need hundreds of millions of potential users to make a $5 average per customer viable for a massive hit like LoL or DotA.
I'm not saying it's literally impossible to get F2P to work on consoles. It can. But 1) the business model doesn't fit consoles quite as well as it does PC or iOS which have vastly larger install bases, and 2) if they do get it to work, they'll need to have a larger number of "whales" so that their average revenue from each player is higher.

don't make me punch you through my computer screen! Chen is regal as fuck!
there is, but it's pretty worthless.
You report one guy for intentionally feeding and in the next game you get another one doing the same.
Atleast one of the following happens in every ranked game I play:
- Bot lane feeds hard. Bot lane leave the game.
-Mid laner see's the other mid laner leave the lane. Doesn't follow after him. Calls others, noobs when they die. Complain they fed his laner. Leaves the game.
- Top laner asks for top. Pick twitch vs a renekton. Dies two times. Leaves.
- Team insist on not warding and focusing the enemy tanks while letting a Caitlyn with 13/4, go wild on them.
- Mid laner complains that I got three kills in three ganks and refuses to participate in every team fight.
Atleast one of these happens in every game I play on ranked. In every single one.

I despise a lot of things about LoL but they do deserve the respect for being so successful.
I despise the whole "we add a new champion every 2-3 weeks", I despise the prices on these champions, I despise how Riot never lets the community figure things out and just "balance" things every few weeks.
Like you can't have a month without balance changes. Nope, things get changed every 1-2 weeks.

ouuuuuuuu
gonna have to buy her at some point soon. Is she any good, though? Haven't seen her run on any streams and I haven't played LoL in awhile. also, where da chocolate men.
your comments imply that the report system should work immediately on a person, and it should punish people immediately for one bad/toxic game
just sounds like youre just playing with bad people
shes not out yet, sorry DV
soon though!
taric is like, totally black inside
Well there's Malzahar.
I pontificate far too often. To sum up my previous post: the strategy behind F2P games is to drill a very wide hole (i.e. tons of users), but a very shallow one (i.e. each of those users spends very little on average). By contrast, the strategy behind consoles is to make a comparatively narrow hole (i.e. consoles have a vastly smaller install base than PC/iOS) but to make that hole very deep (i.e. each console user spends lots of money).
You can see why I think the F2P model isn't especially well suited to consoles. I suspect some will make it work -- it won't be without its success stories -- but the model is much better suited to the platforms it's already functioning on.

no, not that. It's just that intentionally feeding is not nearly as punishable as for example, calling someone a "noob".
Not to mention how borderline disgusting, the LOL community is.
You go on the forums to ask about a solution to this because it's not fair how you constantly win your lane, roam to help others, ward even though you're not the support, have the highest farm, take down the most objectives in every game, only to find people who don't care if they win or not and have atleast 12 people jump immediatly on you saying you deserve to be on that elo/lp because you can't carry a team with no tanks, no cc and that just doesn't want to win.
well i would find it odd if youre doing so well + doing all the right things that youre still at low elo
maybe you should work on game impact, but lets take that to the league thread

I mentioned this before but I would really like to see the revenue for lol. No doubt it must be great, but just for perspective with other business models (wow).
how many fritos are caught underneath pendragon's man boobs?
I think there was an interview/statistic that said only about 1% of users actually spend money.
he did say 'on average'
the truth of it is that a small percentage of people spend enough for the whole
i guess we should be grateful

Oh not arguing against him, just adding to it.
