It’s remarkable how you manage to create original League content after so many years in the scene. Flawless commentary, captivating storytelling and appropriate visuals (which must take a ton of editing and thinking). Great job as always.

Its Interesting that pretty much all of the biggest multiplayer games that are around today were originally community made mods for other games. Mobas (League and DotA) came out of mods for starcraft and warcraft. Tactical shooters (CSGO and Valorant) were came out of a mod for team fortress, Battle Royals (PUBG, Fortnite, Apex Legends) came out of a mod for ARMA. Its a shame that so few games have mod support these days.

I do love how league is the perfect counterexample to corporate game design philosophy. It's incredibly dense with mechanics and depth to the point that you could play 200 matches that average over 30 minutes, and still basically have no fucking clue what you are doing and be worse than bronze. That's more than 100 hours and you still suck so bad that pretty much everything you are doing is wrong. It's also hyper competitive and people can really go very hardcore into playing it and trying to improve at it. All that, and it was for a time the most played game out there and is still one of the most successful video games of all time. It's proof that you don't need to sand off all the edges of every game to be successful.

I learned alot today about the history of DotA. Thank you. I played DotA every single day in my high school for years until 2nd year college when it died because of DotA2. I was ecstatic to play DotA2 but when it came out it didn't click on me, probably because I believe even today that Blizzard's character design, animation, voice lines, sfx, game engine and details that are the body of DotA is so freaking legendarily good that I felt so disgusted in the Dota2 animation and design it turned me off. Probably because I know how to draw and animate so I felt really bothered by it while trying DotA 2. Then my classmates have me tried League of Legends that for me was really ugly at the time I didn't get hooked until they updated the graphics of the game 10x better especially the map, one day I saw one in net cafe playing a limited game mode in LoL where it's the same game but with less cooldown (80% cooldown reduction), I was like "Hey that's like -wtf in DotA! Except there still a little cooldown on abilities" there and there, I decided to give it a try because of one game mode. Now my LoL account is Level 400+ with 400+ skins with complete 5 ultimate skins (mind you I never directly bought a skin in my life all are from chests/events/fusing but yeah I still have spent money).

FWhile DotA lans were happening, it was hard to find a single DotA game inside TFT, combing through countless NvB, Angel Arena, GTD and Footman Frenzy lobbies. Granted in a long run they were more fun to play. Most fun part about DotA was the -wtf -a game mode, basically URF with random champions in League. It was a game of honor because whoever got Zeus, was flamed until he rerolled a new champ. It was fun watching 9 people cry while you have a global Karthus ult with 1-second cooldown.

The addition of challenges this season renewed my interest in the grind, and it has me coming back time and time again. I love URF but the lack of URF-specific challenges is what keeps me from playing the gamemode continually. Gamification works, and a lack of achievements or leaderboards for the other gamemodes that aren't SR or ARAM only contributes towards their failure to remain interesting over time.
