Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

5 times as many dota 1 games played on one of three platforms in china that in lol in it's history disagrees with the last comment, add to the fact that wc3 got played a lot in it's own right and that there were tons of other custom maps and lol isn't even close.

Knowing that 75 different teemos die a second makes me feel good on the inside.

Those damn mushrooms...

[–]cynicalprick01 1 point2 points ago

why compare it to mw3?

so many ppl, including myself, didnt get that specific one of the series.

It would probably be better compared to dota or WOW

edit: also, I know a lot of people who have three or four lol accounts. so the total players measure could be heavily biased.

[–]Mobocracy_Panda 2 points3 points ago

It's compared to MW3 for obvious reasons, almost anyone knows what it is, and most people who stereotype gamers stereotype them with MW3. So yeah.

[–]norealpurposehere2[S] 0 points1 point ago

They did compare it to WoW.

[–]Algirdyz -1 points0 points ago

If this is made by Riot, then it's a shame how incorrect the last statement is...

[–]cowgeneral 2 points3 points ago

Well, this is nice and all, but that doesn't make it a superior game.

[–]Ansaldo 2 points3 points ago

I upvoted, because you're right. But if you haven't tried LoL, you should!

[–]norealpurposehere2[S] -4 points-3 points ago

No, the fact that it's a superior game makes it a superior game.

Brazil in top 10 countries HUE HUE

[–]fliqqed 2 points3 points ago

I am the 0.05%.

[–]thermns -1 points0 points ago

I want to see how much money riot actually makes, they only sold for 400 million so it cant be very high

[–]Rapidiul -1 points0 points ago

A lot of this data makes no sense. LoL and Gangnam Style? Gangnam Style has been around for what, 4 months at most?

LoL can't be compared with WoW, because of the business model. LoL may have more players, but it is free to play. So it's a given, but with its peak 12m subs, WoW still makes more money.

Some things are cool but others are bullshit

[–]VMisc -1 points0 points ago

DotA 2 will always be more populated and will be much better than League of Legends.

[–]d00nQC -1 points0 points ago

DOTA 2 still blow this game up since its aimed straight towards COMPETITVE gaming, while LoL only there to make money, and paying alot to get involved in touney such as MLG

[–]norealpurposehere2[S] 0 points1 point ago

DOTA is better if you're into the whole "e-sports" thing.

But not if you're into the whole "game that's actually fun to play" thing

[–]Mournhold 0 points1 point ago

Yep, every person who has ever played and will ever play dota has 0 fun and is a comptetitve player. Well said.

[–]norealpurposehere2[S] 1 point2 points ago

Exactly.

[–]Mournhold -1 points0 points ago

I would respond to your comments further, but I fear they would serve no real purpose here...

[–]norealpurposehere2[S] 0 points1 point ago

And I'm afraid I would... mournhold.

Yeah, I got nothing.
