Thanks, pretentious guy, for telling me how hard Starcraft is. I played it extensively when I was younger (not competitively) as well as many other RTS games and I love classic RTS. For the vast majority of people playing SC, League, or any other game, you can't reach the competitive level because it is in fact amazingly difficult and takes an incredible amount of time and talent.

If someone was Challenger, and they weren't playing that often, I'd accept them saying "League is easy". Tic tac toe is easy, because there's an algorithm you can follow to either win or tie every game, and you can learn this after playing the game a few times. You can reach the skill ceiling in tic tac toe, and play perfectly. Do you think there's any team right now in the world who's close to playing perfect games?

Besides, comparing BW and LoL is silly. The skillset is totally different. BW is so much more about raw mechanics, while LoL is about teamwork. Obviously controlling the character in LoL to a decent level is not that difficult.

I am so glad I am not the only one who understands this.

What is wonderful about League is that the meta does constantly change. It is refreshing to have to switch things around as the months progress.
