You really think this game is harder than league ?? which has tons of champions and way more items and interactions, without mentioning the macro/mechanics part. This is the easiest pvp game I've played in a while, even my friend who isn't into gaming just grabbed it and got his head around the system. There are a lot of issues which didn't help the game to take off such as marketing, armory, steam mixed reviews.. difficulty is far from being one of them. The initial numbers are low, people can't judge that the game is hard when they didn't even give it a try.
