To be honest , lots of players playing lots of hours doesnt mean jack... its popular because its free and has good marketing but is it good ?
I like it, but find it hard to fire up these days because its a mess community wise, it on par with the DotA crowd troll and ragewise... if not more so.
You can find some seriously sick psychotic dregs of humanity lurking in that game...at all levels.
Anonimous + Internet + Team dependant game = Asshats multiplied by morons squared by elitist jerks and added to lacklustre control over player behaviour by the now Chinese owned developer ( who are never short on a sale or 10 though, so sorry you got trolled 20 out 25 games have a new Teemo skin for only 25 dolla )
...aargh , see even I am raging at just the description of a game, but it is so very fun when you get a good match,
I want to play DOTA2 , but its like LoL community plus learning the game equals horrible experiences.
Example -
DOTA2 pro : Noob , learn to play
ME: I am you moron, thats why I am in the new player level, what are YOU doing here ?
DOTA2 pro : Report Noob for unskilled play.
ME: Yeah, report a new player, playing at new player skill level for being a new player.. yeah sounds about right.
If you are going to try LoL / Hon / Smite / DOTA2 or any of these types...be prepare, and get a really thick skin buff, burning out your eyes helps too.
I never had this sort of problems with Lol, HoN, and Dota.
Story time.
My friends made me play Lol (Lol was my first Moba) fist thing i did was, go to the forums, look for guides.
I read at least 3.
"Ok, this game sounds neat and has a nice gameplay." I thought.
I played some matches, and then bought my first champion, Annie.
"Ok" I thought to myself "now i need to know how i play her!"
That's when i found Solomid.net (That's why i'm a TSM fan today)
That's ok, i read a guide about her.
I play her the way i should and have fun, no one get's mad with me. That's nice!
Of course there will always be the douchbag, or people will get mad at you when you get outplayed, but that's normal, and i don't give a damn about these situations.
The problem here is that Lol, is a free game, Most people, just want to play, they don't want to GET better at the game, they are the casual gamer, get in, have 1-2 matches, get out.
Most people get angry at those people, other are just idiots or kids that get angry at anything.
After Lol, i played Dota and HoN a little. You can guess what i did before playing the games.
I'm not saying that you did that, and people got angry with you because of that.
I'm just saying a fact.
Most people on FREE games don't give a damn about the gameplay, or about trying to get better, etc. They just want to play the game and have some fun.
