without being a better game. i think someone mentioned LoL
having a bigger playerbase than dota2 (assumably as an argument
infavor for LoL).

mappy, im not arguing that it isn't true, but that it doesn't
make the game better (alternative explenation provided).

> On the Runes/Champions grinding thing. You said some people
like to "grind" for "advantages", but I actually believe some
people like to "grind" to actually earn something. In Dota 2
there is nothing to play for. There is nothing you earn from
winning. For me I do not care about this ****, but many people
do like to "earn" something for playing.

so once you gather the runes -> you've won LoL? no point in
playing anymore? or how would this work exactly?
point is that you can grind "unfair" advantages in LoL (extra
movementspeed on your hero etc). you can play for money in
dota2, you can play for collectable items, you can play for
achievements, you can play to reach the top of the ranks (on
third party sources), you can play to improve, or simply play to
have fun/win games.
playing for runes is like playing for maphack in sheeptag. once
you've played 5000 games on CMK's bot, you're allowed to maphack
(others aren't). thats principally what runes are, but ofcourse
the advantage is much smaller. it's nasty. there are many things
to play for and ''earn'' in both LoL and Dota2, grinding
advantages is a different story. when comparing dota2 and LoL,
the ability to ''buy/grind advantages" is a minuspoint to LoL in
my eyes (and hopefully yours too).

You can play LoL for all those reasons to. I do prefer Dota 2s
mentality of giving everyone every Hero right from the start.
The only problem with this is beginners are thrown into a Hero
pool of over 100 and have no clue what to do I.E they might play
a very advanced Hero on accident and dislike the game
afterwards. This is awesome IMO get rid of the weak.
Unfortunately in LoL, Riot likes to baby all the players and
only let newbies pick from a pool of about 8 Champions. Overall
Riot has the RP/IP system as a means of monetary gain and to be
gentle to the retards.
EDIT: I put some quotes from Amir on the League of Legends
subreddit to see what they had to say about Runes/Champions
making you better

dota2 has a tutorial and recommends heroes for new players. LoL
restricts you to 8-10 heroes per week even when uve played 10000
games (as far as i know). LoL and DotA2 are similar, but LoL is
worse at everything that's different about the games. i haven't
heard 1 good reason for choosing LoL over dota2 yet.
everyone on reddit agreed with me apart form a few braindead
americans (despite the fact that you quoted me out of context of
our debate instead of linking the whole shit). ive heard similar
objections before. "everyone can get all the runes if they play
alot!" "you're just handicapping yourself by not paying for
runes, not giving yourself and advantage by buying them!" etc.
so, i don't want to keep this going for years, i've told
everyone why i think dota2 is better than LoL. everything i've
said appears to be correct. bring me reasons to why LoL is
better than dota2 if you wanna continue debaten. ADIUSS.

What makes you think I am debating that LoL is better than Dota
2? Almost everything I have said is me saying LoL sucks and Riot
is a shit company, because it is. The debate is about why LoL
has more players than Dota 2, but yeah I'm bored of this as
well. That reddit thread was funny you are Rebelsmark no?
