You have. It's not about tactics, it's about team communication and coordination. Football doesn't have much tactical depth either, it's all about the execution.

So you admit that Dota has no prerequisite skills, only the ability to herd 4 other retards over the internet into a semi-coordinated state?

Alright, I see we agree.

Football has plenty of tactical depth. Football requires (physical) skills. Football also requires teamwork. Whatever teamwork you may think Dota requires (hint: no more than any other team FPS/RTS/RPG), it doesn't make up for lacking entirely in the other two areas.

It's actually kind of funny, because, like you say, Dota is basically about teamwork and understanding the way all the elements (champions, builds, map features) interact at any given point in time to make the best decision; thing is, you can level a very similar criticism against SC2, where being able to scout and immediately intuit what the opponent is doing exactly is the most important skill, given the game's dumbed down macro and barely existent micro.

I can level similar complaints against SC2. But I still rest my case that a good SC2 player or WC3 player (note: I'm ignoring SC players because no self-respecting one would play Dota) can start playing Dota and be the master-league equivalent within a week or two. A "good" Dota player would probably flail helplessly in silver or gold league in SC2 for a long time. That's what I mean when I say Dota is just a stripped down RTS. If RTS skills translate over so easily that you merely need to learn a few basic strategies, the general flow of the game, and memorize new skills, it's still an RTS. A dumbed down one.

I don't think Dota is particularly difficult, but I do think singling it out is a bit unfair. Kind of a pity that one of the few truly competitive and difficult games (Quake Live) has so little traction in the ESPORTS world.

ESPORTS is now BABBESPORTS. If board games were popular in the time of the internet we would see competitive Checkers matches. Consoles of course would host Tic-Tac-Toe deathmatches and be 10x more popular still. The only genre to have mostly escaped the decline seems to be the fighting games.

Esports is serious business.

Spoiler

With emphasis on business.

 

[Cowboy Moment]

Well, CoD is an esport, that's only slightly less complicated than checkers.

I almost got pulled into that debate until I saw that blatant trolling post. Both are shit games dominated by asian robots, move the fuck on

Asians dominate Dota as well? Guess they truly are perfect, immortal machines. I think they win at fighting games as well.

That was the joke...

Esports are full of ejocks, which kinda explains the massive amounts of eretardation in the egaming scene.

Moronic Desperate virgin fuck probably actually thinks this might give him a chance at a pity fuck down the line, for white knighting like a mentally retarded Don Quichot in heat.

He's a complete idiot, of course, but it would be funny if EA actually did include female footballers in the game and put some arbitrary physical stat limitations on them. Also IIRC female athelets cannot comepete in male leagues, so say good bye to your self insert playing for Bayern.

Nice shirt

 

[dibens]

Nice bed sheets. How old is he- 9?

 

[Sceptic]

Hey knock off the bed sheets, I use pretty colourful ones myself. They are my bed sheets after all, no one who isn't me or sleeping in my bad is gonna see them.

I'm more curious about why he has his PC in his bedroom.

But this. Not that anybody who starts a video with a "coming up with a topic is teh hard so, I dunno, lol this" is winning many points with me.

What's so weird about that? I share a very small apartment with my brother, so each of us keep our PCs in our rooms so the "common area" of the living room is always free.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Same here, bedroom > living room. It's really inconvenient to play games if there are people walking around you all the time anyway, can't concentrate. Not to mention watching porn.

 

[Kitako]

You can have the PC in places different than you bedroom? Amazing.

Also, I don't have a living room

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Shattering of worldview on PC placement ITT.

Holy shit north korea is 9th?!

A better question is why are the gay characters in FIFA '14 not treated preferentially at all.

That youtuber is a fucking homophobe.

For a moment there looking at the thumbnail I thought it was Rex.

EDIT: aahahha holy crap it actually is him

This what? I didn't say anything about the possibility of EA putting in female leagues, I just said that not one of the player created female characters would be able to compete in the male leagues, which means no Champions League, no nothing. Second class citizen status.

I hate how I have no bedroom anymore, so my comp is in the living room. Since my cousin's baby was born, it is really hard to go for a late-night wank because it seems like there's always somebody awakened. The fact that some time ago my cousin moved my computer WITHOUT my authorization while re-arranging the living room for no reason just made it worse. Now the living room is so full of her trash I can't move my computer back anymore.

Dude! Bang your cousin! All problems solved!

Big Cousin is watching you masturbate.

Never turned the video on and thought it was a woman.
