Okay, how about this. I find LoL more difficult than DotA.:?

How so? Summoner spells?

That and the bush/brush mechanic. It what separates LoL from DotA or vice-versa.

It's weird that people still bring up the stupid SW metagame, considering the fact that the spreadsheet hasn't even been updated in well over a year. Why should anyone play by the rules if no one is gonna bother keeping tally?heeweesRus

it seems to only have become a problem when TLOU flopped on GS

I really need to get back to this. I only played the tutorial. But for some reason I have this mental block in trying to start games like Dota 2 or Starcraft 2 online.PannicAtack

I know what you mean. I too have just done the tutorial and I predict myself doing atleast 100 bot games before I contemplate pvp.

[QUOTE="Vaasman"]

That's because you joined after the discussions on how the rules would work were held. Do you think people just stuck the rules up there for no reason? That shit isn't just something that gets ignored as much as you wish it was, it's the metric for our little metagame that was decided by the community. Don't like it? Don't play. Don't talk about ownage or AAAE's or what does and does not count because you aren't a part of any of it.

Please answer the questions I posted or stop responding to me. You look like a damn fool. 

And you literally have no point so there's nothing to answer. The only possible way you have any shred of a chance at being correct, is by eliminating every single possible scale by which we would judge the vailidity of the game. The only thing still pushing you along is your worthless, laughable opinion.

Also I'm pretty sure you said you weren't going to respond to me, but it seems you were too butthurt to stay out of it lol.

Why don't think at least one post ahead before hitting submit? How could you possibly know when something like this was established when you weren't even here? Everything you have wrote is pure assumption and your basing it on one singular post. If you actually have some solid proof, feel free to link to it, until then saying "go talk to Casey" is embarrassing.

:lol: Love this excuse. You've been lurking for at least over 2 years and 3 months (at the absolute minimum to even have any credibility) and while doing so you've been acquainting and embedding yourself in SW politics? 

senses_fail_06

It's not about being "embedded," it's about having read this shit long enough to know that the rules system that is in play didn't spring up from someone's ass one day.

I've changed my stance. You are so ignorant I will expose every single one of your posts to reveal just how dumb you really are.

[QUOTE="Vaasman"]

Yea right. All you're going to do is continue to look like a pissy jackass because you know how right I am about this game. You can only cry be butthurt about it, you have no actual stance to the contrary. Nothing to support you but your tears.

senses_fail_06

If it's so obvious, I would have sworn you would have dished up some proof by now :lol:

Yea, cry more baby. I love your sadness.

This game is garbage, I'll stick to league, which is 100x better than this horrible game.

[QUOTE="Vaasman"]

So are you just blind or are you challenged? I've shown you multiple ways how this game counts, and all you could do is be butthurt and say everything was irrelevant. It's like a toddler when you show them 2+2=4 and all they can counter with is "NU UH."

Yea, cry more baby. I love your sadness.

senses_fail_06

Changing the subject?

Nice tactic, but won't work on me. Show me where the community sits on the topic. 

Yea, cry more baby. I love your sadness.

You sound like a little bitch :lol:

http://systemwarsmagazine.com/2008/09/18/history-of-gamespots-system-wars-board/ A brief history of system wars (only includes vague references to anything that happened.)

All mention the concept of the A-AA-AAA titles, flops, and hype. No mentions whatsoever of what games do and do not count.

But, since it is literally impossible to prove the point, I am willing to concede on it.... So long as you are willing to admit that F2P games count ;). You might as well, PS4 and Xbox One will both be getting F2P titles. They are as structured and well designed as any paid game. They are all received by the general gaming community and by the press, so you'll be accepting it, whether it's with your mind or your asspains. There is absolutely nothing to support any argument to the contrary.

[QUOTE="Vaasman"]

You know, I actually checked. I literally had to go all the way back just because you're that much of a dick. I spent something like 15 minutes wading through gamespot's atrocious format to find it. Unfortunately, Gamespot's format change means almost all of the posts and threads before 2006 have been removed :? best stuff I can find is:

Christ, I hope you didn't just spend an hour of your life compiling a list of SW welcome guides. None of which cover the topic at hand, none of which are considered binding, none of them are followed, and none of them are even what Casey was talking about.

I know a lot of people on SW play dumb and like to troll. Either you're the best actor on these forums I've ever seen or you are, perhaps, the dumbest user to grace SW in years.

So if I'm so far off the point, then what even is the point? Do you even know? Could you possibly even tell me? Because as far as I can tell, I've been arguing that F2P counts, and all you've been doing is saying I'm wrong, or my proof is irrelevant, or that nothing counts but what you want. so why don't you fill me in, oh great sage of being a nightmarishly dickish person. What is the the topic at hand?

Edit: Or should we slow the conversation down below the level of forum posting so your simian mind can tackle each approaching point one subject at a time?

DOTA 2 > The Flop of Us :) princeofshapeir

This is still going on ^^ :lol:

[QUOTE="Vaasman"]

No, I said 15 minutes to search the entire forum. Compiled those in 10 seconds of google. The rest of the time I was playing WoW to cap my valor for the week.

It was stated that the community had decided.

I questioned that.

You said it's because I wasn't here. Then surely, we could find something that could confirm it. Unfortunately, you've yet to do so.

Now I sit here, waiting for you to post something of some relevance regarding a topic that you've already said cannot be proven.

This is especially funny when you consider that you just got done asking me what the point was. 

:lol:

You're a dumbass. And I don't mean that in a haha way, I think you're seriously pretty damn stupid. 

Furthermore, this is all just pathetic blather to distract from the real, original point, which you have yet to have an ounce of defense for, which is your stance that F2P does not count. I couldn't give less of a shit at this point whether or not you think the rules of system wars have any weight, because the bottom line is you're flat out wrong even when we move onto other, more reasonable metrics. But of course, like the dickhole that you are, those don't count either, right? So what if the very website we post on reviews them all on the same scale as other titles? So what if they are reviewed by dozens of other websites? So what if some of them count as the most played games available? None of that counts for anything in your eyes, right? So what scale should we use then, hmm? Whichever one you pick? What would that be I wonder?

So you can call me a dumbass all you want, but the only conclusion that I figure can come from any of this is that you know I'm right. Guess it hurts too much to admit though.

This is still going on ^^ :lol:

Consolite tears are endless, ofcoures it is.

What was the argument about in the first place? Someone going through mental gymnastics to say Dota 2 "doesn't count"?PannicAtack

I declare Vaasman the winner of the debate for no apparent reason, now be gone younglings.

Then League of Legends should be a 15.TheOwnerOner

Out of 100.

How do you even argue that F2P games don't count? A game is a game, lol.

If this game is a 9, Then League of Legends should be a 15.TheOwnerOner

I don't even know what to say to you man.

You should feel bad :x.

Great i guess...but i just cannot get into this games, not playing them, nor watching them.

So...anyone in the mood for some dota?
