Original poster has it wrong, which has some of you posting stupid remarks...
Its 5 million dollars to support tournaments throughout season 2(in which there are many)... Not a 5 million dollar pool for one tournament. I wonder what fangirls an above poster is talking about...

@Space Cobra I logged off both sites and logged onto joy... lets see what happens.

@Resurge Dude, I played a scout and always handed thieves their asses =P I would just kite with slows and bleeds. I built my scout just for taking out thieves, sometimes I ended up in groups just scouting for them. I would let thieves get really close, all the while telling my group what they were doing and to act like we didnt know, before abruptly turning on the thief. Was fun times.

@(Unverified) Anyone know how to become un-unverified. Ive tried logging in and out... Sigh.

This was definitely a game I enjoyed, although for a short period of time. What went wrong on the server I played on, was that this guild got out of hand in its size and popularity which led to it crushing any guild that was attempting to gather numbers. However, I do remember reading a story that one day a bunch of small nations rose up and destroyed this city. But I had already quit the game by then, since the three guilds I was in got crushed by said guild. I think they were called CoS, I forget what it stood for.

All some developer has to do is make another game like Shadowbane, but make penalties for guilds that get bigger than a certain size, thus making said city hard to maintain.

@Ryukan
If its such a waste... Why are you talking about it?

@Tyrang
You obviously dont play DotA and have very little perspective on what has happened related to it within the last few years. As far as DotA DotA is concerned, IceFrog, who now works for Valve, is DotA. LoL is not the successor. No one who plays DotA cares what you think, because we all agree that DotA goes where IceFrog goes. Guinsoo was a poopy developer for DotA.

LoL is doing their own thing, for better or worse. All I can say is that they're trying to be different, even if, imo, its a worse gaming experience.

Lol... Mr. Beck says they are going to add surprising features... By that he means eventually they will add the features to the game that it should have had long ago, but they spend most their resources on designing heroes (the money makers).
I play LoL atm but only as a game between games. Hoping that Dota 2 beta starts next month or close to then, getting tired of LoL.

Im excited about this only because it shows what the prize pool for Dota 2 could look like. I'll also watch some of the games because I currently play LoL when I get bored pubbing in DotA.

For all the haters out there... Dont hate, be excited for the genre. Lets hope that LoL puts on a good show for MOBAs.

P.S. I think the deveopment team behind LoL are a bunch of (insert bad word here)... Buncha money grabbin (bad word). The stuff they promise vs what they actually do is amazing. Are LoL players happy with 2 game modes, 2 maps and no replay system?

You know why you dont get those? Because they dont cost IP(currency) to get. Surprise!

Random dungeon finder has made the game less social, you interact with people you otherwise would never have interacted with and have no consequences for grouping with.
