I prefer dota because it has managed to keep out the worst of the lolsorandomxD shit that is so prevelent in other assfaggots. It still has stupid sets but nothing as terrivle as janitor skeleton king or various beach themed skins.

Shota Invoker may be balancing on a very thin line though.

kindred

DOTA2 has the ugliest art direction I ever seen. It looks like classic WoW, but somehow uglier.

i like league because the queues aren't 5 minutes long

>both because they keep normie faggots like yourself from good games OP
what are some good games?

Female invoker would be infinitely better. Kid invoker is fucking retarded. Valve manage to get as close as possible to the line as they can. But other games release worse and worse skins each year so the line keeps moving forward. But these stupid skins must make a ton of money because normalfags don't care about art style.

Wrong, dota has a great and unique art style and every character has alot of personality, lol art style looks like some gacha shit outsourced to china

Shit like that has gone back to when LoL first started where some of the champs are ideas from the Playdota forums Pendragon managed.

>she has the same weapon so they stole it

I wish LoL would fucking slow down on all the new reworks and new champs. Jesus fuck they've all been fucking trash this past year.

yeah, i mean the game was started by a group of dota 1 fans. the first 3 or so seasons of that game were pretty fun, shit has just gone so downhill though. all of the cool and interesting characters have been changed into generic looking garbage just because the normalfags playing it think a kit can be "toxic" instead of learning how to play

that new assassin is the most generic and boring champion released in years. cant believe the concept of an elementalist was thrown away on an assassin more basic than talon

I get that and you can see that come through, but what really happened was that there were some champs that were taken from the playdota forums that were originally ideas for DOTA heroes before Pendragon turned the site into a literal advertisement for LoL, taking the hero ideas without permission and making some of them. I know the creator of Corki is still fucking bitter about that shit.

Ah yes, the deep characters of the nightcrawler neutral and rock giant. Timeless classics.

why are dotards so buttblasted about people prefering league over their shit game?

What happened to Skeleton King, buddy?
Did Valve bow to the chinks or are you gonna admit that they just lifted characters?
What about Drow and Axe? If the talentless hacks over at Riot could at least give these characters a make over to not make them fucking asset rips, why couldnt the gorillion dollar artists at Valve?

That has literally nothing to do with I said. I am saying it is pretty FUCKING ironic that a LoLbab is talking about "stolen characters".

Dota 2 is the top played game on Steam, calling it dead is absolutely pathetic straw grasping

5 minutes lmao
even league challenger queue are shorter

dota is more complex, there's a lot of usable itens that works just like a bonus skill, so you have to manage 6~8 skills sometimes

the micro is also much more complex in dota, i feel that league is just a simplified dota.

Dota 2 is called Dota 2 for a reason, it's a continuation of the same project. Dota's heroes were basic unit models that weren't actually characters, so Dota 2 created visually similar characters based on them for transitioning players. Blizzard doesn't own "rock giant," "frost archer," "red man with axe," etc.

Meanwhile LoL ACTUALLY fucking STEALS characters, see and LoLbabs are a fucking joke

Absolutely retarded
Its called DotA2, and guess what retard? They dont own those characters. They can be similar, sure. Look at what the competition did with Ashe and Darius compared to Axe and Drow. Complete fucking rips like Valve did are not the same though.
> it's a continuation of the same project.
Nope, its a talentless hack trying to continue the work that the other creators moved on from. The real talent from DotA, Guinsoo, went to work for Riot on League Of Legends.
>so Dota 2 created visually similar characters based on them for transitioning players
League created visually similar characters, Valve stole characters.

Considering they're very much identical clones to the characters in their game, they do. Why dont you think Blizzard went after Riot for Ashe or Darius?

It's basically a soulless rendition of WC3. I didn't mind it so much at launch but I look at it nowadays and it strikes me as hideous. To be fair, League is pretty bad too, and HoN was vomit tier.

Drow isn't a ripoff of sylvanas, she IS sylvanas you dumb mutt.

The leaguebaby doesn't know that drow actually exist in dnd and not every blue archer is a rip off of sylvanas.

>Show me a single "stolen" character in League that comes anywhere close to Drow being a complete rip of Sylvanas
I just showed you two. If you just ignore arguments then you're admitting you're wrong.
The only similarities between Drow and Sylvanas is that they're archers and have blue skin. Warcraft didn't even invent the Drow race. You are fucking stupid. Meanwhile, >going after a game that literally ripped your characters

Blizzard doesn't own "skeleton who is also a king." That isn't a character, there's nothing to steal here.

One more time without the buzzword

Valve actually hired one of the artists responsible for the few good hero designs because he asked for a raise. At the most profitable company in the world. Valve are so cheap they literally couldn't hire real artists for Artifact and instead produced pure garbage by lifting random people from Artstation instead for cheap. I unironically want Valve to burn to the ground.

kill yourself mindless drone
isn't there some ti pack you should be purchasing?

>more buzzwords

I will play devil's advocate and give the other poster some credit. Drows in Dota 2's universe are not the typical drow race, they are short, ugly and repulsive. Drow Ranger was adopted by them and thinks herself as ugly, because she doesn't fit the typical drow form, so you could make the argument her being a blue skinned archer is a bit of a cop out. However that doesn't mean that's the end of the argument, because you could then further argue the blue skin was her training in a cold condition to get frost arrows.

I meant FIRED*.

the only player stats we can see is the numbers of ranked players, which is not a good indication of the total playerbase because a lot of players dont play ranked me included

>stating that volvo lives off of superwhales that buy retarded boosters and losers like yourself that support them is buzzwords

Remodeled drow has skin that is more or less pink anyway.

League of legends is not even worth playing.
Either way Dota 2 is the better game, and by far.

>she is Sylvanas
Thank you for proving that Valve are talentless hacks and DotA2 does not have "characters with a lot of personality" as we had already seen these exact characters years ago.
>not every blue archer is a rip off of sylvanas.
Yeah, just Drow Ranger.
>i just showed you two
No, you didnt, because neither of them are anywhere close to Drow being a rip off of Sylvanas or Axe being a rip off of Grom.
>The only similarities between Drow and Sylvanas is that they're archers and have blue skin
Yes, the model is a complete rip thank you for noticing what the rest of the world did years ago.
The only "similarities" between Violator and Cho is the tusks and thats literally it, thats the best argument you've got? You're just going to ignore that Violator has a horn above his head? You're just gonna ignore that Violator is a small, lanky character with a small head where Cho'Gath is massive? Referencing outdated splash art is really the best argument you have?
>Blizzard doesn't own "skeleton who is also a king." That isn't a character, there's nothing to steal here.
So you're saying Valve is run by chinks and thats why they removed Skeleton King? Guess thats another reason why DotA2 is shit.

DOTA 2 peaked at TI3, and that's that. Everything afterwards has been disappointing and boring. Absolutely nothing will compare to that Na'vi vs. Alliance finale - just the whole journey was unparalleled in the history of eSports.
Oh, and it doesn't help that Valve goes out of their way to monetize these events. Like you wanna follow a CSGO or League tournament? Go ahead, bro, best case scenario you'll get some Twitch drops. You wanna enjoy the International? Get ready to spend $300 minimum on leveling up your compendium to get everything you want, paypig.

I don't hate Dota at all you fucking mouthbreathing tool, I hate Valve. I've never played League in my life, and I will continue to play Dota long after Valve goes under and their greedy hands release the IP.

League removed some of the cruft, and it's a superior game. The market has spoken: It's more popular.

I don't care for writing 2k in greentext but Valve has been shit for well over a decade. When they sent out those 50 cent Roshans to people that spent hundreds on the compendiums is when I realized they don't even have a modicum of respect for their customers.

Eh some characters do on certain parts of the map. Mind you it isn't a constant problem but some do blend into Radiant's trees a little too much.

I'll even post the original model, why not. It still doesn't look like sylvanas other than arbitrary comparisons.

Model rework.

They sent out new roshans and gave you a courier, but yeah they fucked up there. They never lied about ep3, unless you think every game that was never released was because the devs lied.

It wasn't, but by the popularity argument would say it should be high class cinema instead of a good blockbuster.

>this part is entirely wrong
Doom, Shadow Fiend, Shadow Demon and Chaos Knight all blend into the Dire side, though. Tiny blends in to anywhere with decent lighting and actual paved ground.
This is all of course if you dont pay up, if you pay up you can get map skins that just happen to fix these issues :)
>It still doesn't look like sylvanas other than arbitrary comparisons.

When you repeatedly say a game is going to be released and then it's not, that's a lie. Even if you don't consider it a lie, it's certainly a grave offense towards all the people that bought the games. But they certainly OBJECTIVELY lied at other times

So what do you prefer?

Actually hots heroes are soulless because Drow Ranger came first.

I'm not a TI player

There was already a China-friendly model for SK and all the other skeleton heroes. It's because Blizzard is asshurt that they let the Dota craze slip right under their noses so they're bullying Valve into changing things. You clearly know absolutely fucking nothing about how this shit works, Valve can't afford to fight Blizzard in court so they have to bow to basically everything they want. Blizzard doesn't actually have a case, but it's not worth Valve fighting it.

it's objectively worse in literally every sense except for accessibility

They are not features they are game mechanics. It's like if you would remove check mating in Chess.

League is more casual and easy to get into = more immediate self gratification = more popular among most people
Dota is harder with a higher skill ceiling and very difficult to get into = less enjoyment in the beginning = less overall players
Its a very basic concept of game design here, but the league kids completely refuse to understand this, so they just shill league is more popular means it must be better.
I played both games for years and Dota allows much more freedom and fun, but it just requires much more dedication to get to a point where you understand the game enough to feel like you impact whether you win or lose.

LOL is banned in china for being corruptible to youth and being a shit pay to win game so the government just banned it. Just like fortnite.
Its why chink numbers are low for league. You stupid lol-playing animal.
But what can be expected from a company that bots their game's twitch viewership for free advertising in an attempt to stay relevant.
Unfortunately this only works on the feeble minded like yourself that cannot provide an argument on why League doesnt suck balls when compared to Dota.
Anyone casually browsing that sees this thread should be aware that the majority of posts against dota 2 are trolls doing it for the sake of trolling.

>There's nothing they can do
Then they should give people refunds or at the very least make it F2P so that new players can come in and keep it going for those that still want to play it. Instead they just said they're in it 'for the long haul' which basically means they aren't going to do shit. They are incompetent beyond words and prove that at every point. It's like watching some retarded fat kid with rich parents trying to play a game and still winning because he's decked out in P2W gear. Gaben has so much money he doesn't give a fuck about anything, and least of all the customers.

>Valve can't afford to fight Blizzard in court
Valves last evaluation was US$2.5 billion in 2012, a year before DotA2 came out and probably before CS:GO launched. Skeleton King was removed in 2013, a year after DotA2 launched and a year after CS:GO had launched.
If you honestly think they didnt have the money to fight Blizzard in court, you're absolutely retarded. WoW was in a decline, they didn't have Overwatch, The Call of Duty of that year was Ghosts, Activision brought King in 2016 so they didn't have that income.
>literally just listing shit that comes down to the 11 year difference in model
Thats all you've got? Fucking hilarious
Absolutely incorrect, visual clarity and design quality is objectively better than model fidelity.
Wrong. Theres a reason why its still alive while DotA2 is dead anywhere that isnt China, Russia or the Philippines.
Thanks for proving me right and thanks for showing how fucking ugly these characters are.

Because it being shit is directly Valve's fault and it reflects on them. Also because they're so rich it would be a drop in the bucket. Either way, they should do something. Far poorer companies have done riskier things. Instead, in typical incompetent nu-Valve fashion, they did nothing, and just keep lying about how something will be done in the future. I can't wait for that fat fuck to die so maybe someone at this company takes the helm and redeems it, if that's even possible at this point.

Give me a LoL hero with a character as distinct as, say, Axe's. And no, overly bloated bios aren't 'character'.

No company gives everyone a refund because they made a shit game. That's totally ridiculous. They might give people refunds if the game is broken or it isn't what was promised, but it was just a shit game, and people make shit games all the time. What would giving everyone a refund accomplish? Restore faith in Valve? Valve as a game developer is a joke, what's the point

>waaah I got suckered into buying a bad product so I'm entitled
You ain't owed shit. If Valve gives a refund, it'll purely be out of their own largesse, NOT because they 'should'. You got exactly what you paid for.

Blizzard let Valve have Dota, isn't that obvious? Either way it would be much harder to fight a legal battle - which neither company wanted - for an ambiguous mod name. as opposed to characters they actually do own.

Keep crying all you want, popularity does not equal quality. You are playing the lesser game made to appeal to a wider market.

Then they fix the game. Witcher 1 got an update that added models and tons of shit despite CDPR being a starter company. FF14 got redone because they knew they fucked up massively. No Man's Sky is still being updated to this day to try and fix their mistakes. Imperator Rome will probably get a similar treatment because it was a failure.
But no, Valve, the company with infinite funds, just does nothing and instead focuses on Underlords which karma bit them in the ass with because a total failure compared to TFT because they decided to rush it out instead of taking their time and getting proper feedbackdespite that being EXACTLY what killed Artifact. They just never, ever learn.
>What would giving everyone a refund accomplish? Restore faith in Valve? Valve as a game developer is a joke, what's the point
Show you that at least they can take responsibility, which they've been chronically incapable of for their entire history.

Imagine being this fucking retarded.
If Riot could create infinitely better characters that still fit their DotA counterparts, why couldnt Valve? Valve objectively had more money and time than Riot did.

>You got exactly what you paid for.
Objectively false. Valve promised that the game would come with a million dollar tournament and also stated many things about how the market would work that proved to be completely false. So, no, people didn't get what they paid for.

Yeah but they're fucking ugly ass skins.
The only skins in Dota that do this are Io arcana and the Warhammer skins (which still look amazing btw).

They dont, its that simple. Why didnt this no-name win Season 1 Worlds or a Major?

It's not their responsbility to give you a refund for a shit game. That's my point. That's absolutely insane. There's just nothing they can do to "fix" the game. It's not like oh it could have been good if only they did this or that. The game is fundamentally shit. It's a game nobody wanted, it's a game with no potential

Which Warcraft character does Bloodseeker look like?

Dota is literally nothing but plagiarism, half of the "heroes" still have the same names as their WC3 mobs

It's better than blink dagger by a long shot.

Shut the fuck up, retard. I know that the laws are shit when it comes to this, I never said they are OBLIGATED to do so by LAW. But yes, making a game that's a good game that's playable is absolutely their "responsibility" by definition.
>There's just nothing they can do to "fix" the game.
Stop being retarded, please. They can just rewrite the cards and give them real abilities, make them all available, and put the game into F2P. That alone would at least increase the playerbase to a healthy 20k or so. Which better than, you know, fucking 100. ANYTHING would be better than doing NOTHING. The assets are all there. They promised to put up a system for people to make their own modes from them if they wanted to, yet another thing they will fail to deliver on.

Nothing in DotA2 looks "sweet", the game looks like fucking trash.
>Having characters that are literally named "Shadow Demon"

I'm just glad we got shitposters for both sides even if we all know league is inferior in all aspects except maybe porn. So a sincere thank you to the anons playing devils shitposter today.

>3 basic ass humans are better than a red orc, a drow and a masked samurai.
Out of all of those faggots only Yi is good.
lol has too many big humans in armour for Darius to be good.
Ash is just a really boring design.

It's retarded to expect someone to give out a refund on their initiative for a shit game. Thousands of shit games have been made throughout history. Should all those companies send the money back to the players out of shame? What planet are you from? Making the game free to play would be irrelevant because the game sucks, nobody wants to play it anyway. How would you make the game good by redesigning the cards? Why do you think that's even possible?

Explains why one game is fucking dead and the other has topped charts since its launch.

>Nothing in DotA2 looks "sweet", the game looks like fucking trash.
Again, this is what happens when you just try to rip Warcraft 3. Dota 2 literally looks like what would happen if you gave a retarded kid WC3 concept art and asked him to copy it.

League is trying not to look as basic as possible to not scare anyone away.

No, it doesnt

MOOORTY YOU DID THE FIRST BLOOD

>It's retarded to expect someone to give out a refund on their initiative for a shit game.
Not at all, and I never said that was the only option, but you conveniently leave out the fact that all those other games radically changed. Square Enix brought back a failed fucking MMO. Do you know how hard that is? What a gamble that is? And they did it. Because they aren't a bunch of cocksucking parasites whose only ability is to say "give me my cut" and wait for the government to make them implement decent customer service so they can parade that shit around as "our features!!!". Valve is disgusting. Actually vomit-inducing.
>Thousands of shit games have been made throughout history.
Yeah, except not by the most PROFITABLE company in history. Usually if you make a bad game that's IT. It's not a matter of you not wanting to fix it, it's not having the resources to do so. Valve has millions upon millions of dollars. None of which, might I add, are earned, lol. But they can't afford to make people work on salvaging the game that they fucking made?
>Should all those companies send the money back to the players out of shame?
If they're corporations worth millions that can afford it, absolutely. Player goodwill is worth far more than a million dollars, as CDPR have proven.
>Making the game free to play would be irrelevant because the game sucks
No, people would absolutely play it if all the cards were free and if the game would be too. Even abysmal F2P games are way more successful than Artifact.
>How would you make the game good by redesigning the cards?
Because the biggest fault of Artifact is being full of cards with no active abilities. It's just cards that add numbers and change direction. If you took every one of those cards and made it into an active ability you would already have a game that's infinitely more engaging.
>Why do you think that's even possible?
Because Hearthstone is a shittier game, yet has success even now precisely because of that.

dotards can never admit that their game is brimming full of artificial difficulty

hahaha... no.

>leaguebab too dumb to understand rupture or kunkka boat

Hearthstone has success because it cashes in on Warcraft lore. Nobody gives a shit about Dota lore. There's tons of completely dead free-to-play games, free-to-play is by no means a gaurantee of success. I'm sure more people would be playing it, but it would be totally insignificant and still completely dead in the water. It's totally unreasonable to expect everyone to try and "fix" a shit game. If it's a broken game with potential, maybe, but does Artifact have any potential? Is there any realm in which it would be a good game, worth playing over MTG or Hearthstone or whatever, or are you just saying this because you're entitled and mad at Valve and want them to dance for you? If anything you should complain that they haven't made HL3, not that they're not fixing a shit game nobody wanted

>Hearthstone has success because it cashes in on Warcraft lore.
Wow, wow, wow, like HotS? Please, what a shit argument. It's successful because it's fun.
>Nobody gives a shit about Dota lore.
So? People play Dota 2 and not HotS, this is a non-argument.
>There's tons of completely dead free-to-play games, free-to-play is by no means a gaurantee of success.>There's tons of completely dead free-to-play games, free-to-play is by no means a gaurantee of success.
Yet there are plenty of games that found success in F2P.
>It's totally unreasonable to expect everyone to try and "fix" a shit game.
Not at all. But it seems you've been taking so much corporate dick down your throat that just defending them must be getting you hard right now. Imagine applying this in any other industry.
>lol did you actually expect your car to work like BRUH
>>but does Artifact have any potential?
Yep.
>Is there any realm in which it would be a good game?
Yes.
>worth playing over MTG or Hearthstone or whatever
Neither of those are worth playing anyway, so Artifact would win out by default. MTG and HS are entirely P2W.
>or are you just saying this because you're entitled and mad at Valve and want them to dance for you?
I've been made at Valve long before Artifact, and would be long after even if they fixed it. They're just an awful company on every level.
>not that they're not fixing a shit game nobody wanted
Then I guess paying people back isn't a problem since only like a dozen people bought it, yeah?

>League
>Has actual players from your region that speak your language
are you a chink?

Jup it does. League looks like it's drawn by a 16 year old on her deviant art. It's nice and basic, all characters are "pretty" with no visual personality. It even gets bonus points for token black and indian characters.
Meanwhile dota has fucking big ugly looking ogres and trolls that acutally look like ogres and trolls. Dotas monsters are weird looking like that of old RPG's, they are not the steamlined "slik" beasts of lol, dota's monsters are acutal rough monsters.
Dota has few humanoid characters and they all look distinct. There is only one of them that is just a guy in armor with a big weapon DK, to others either have weird ornate masks and clothing (just look at fucking Sven, dude is wearing a fucking sweater). 2/3'd of leagues rooster is humans who all look so basic and "pretty" that they lose all visual personality. Draven and Yi rise above a sea of basic looking humans and they are by far the most beloved league characters.

League is for kiddies who want everything to be pretty and streamlined, Dota is for men who love a rough artstyle of characters that are distinct. Even the new "disney" looking characters from Dota are brimming with visual personality.

I buy products that actually don't work all the time, and I don't get sent refunds unless I ask. Valve refunds Artifact if you ask, but expecting them to literally refund every customer is so ridiculous you sound like you're mentally ill. The game works, it does what it said it would do, it's just not a game people enjoy. I'm no card game expert but people enjoy these P2W card games. I paid ten bucks and made a top-tier deck in Artifact and I was bored of the game within 20 hours. The market for collectable card games seems very small, there's MTG and Hearthstone and that's basically it. If you know what makes a good game maybe you should make one, but Valve certainly doesn't, and I don't think simply giving the cards more active abilities would do it

Le ebin 5 characters is entirely artifical difficulty inside a moba setting

things like damage spread is artificial difficulty not micro you fucking mongoloid

It really isn't if you aren't a dumb ass and set up control groups correctly. Most of the time you want your meepos to be in the same general vicinity in the middle of a fight except for shit like Lich.

> I paid ten bucks and made a top-tier deck in Artifact and I was bored of the game within 20 hours.
Me too, but I can also see that it would be easy to fix the game with minimal effort when plenty of games have come back from way bigger challenges.
>The market for collectable card games seems very small, there's MTG and Hearthstone and that's basically it.
That's because there are no other games in general, except maybe Shadowverse.
>If you know what makes a good game maybe you should make one, but Valve certainly doesn't, and I don't think simply giving the cards more active abilities would do it
I guess you missed the part where Gaben said he wanted the community involved and wanted people to make their own modes. Again, this isn't being unfair, this isn't buying a game that did everything it said it did. They failed to deliver on countless things that Gaben pretended were done deals before launch. it. You don't have to agree with anything I say but saying Valve is right in doing NOTHING is a major cucked move. This isn't some fucking indie dev from Latvia or some shit, they're worth 2.5 BILLION. Yes, BILLION.

Then again lolbabs cheer for ward kills.

but it does something different to dota and I cannot comprehend that the games might be designed differently because my brain is completely smooth

When did I say Valve was right? You sound mentally disturbed. I said there was nothing they CAN do. I'm not an expert on designing card games but I see zero potential in the game. You're saying they should try hard to fix or send back everyones money which is so naiive and entitled it's ridiculous. I bought a garlic crusher that doesnt work yesterday, should the company refund me without me asking? The new Wolfenstein game sucks and didn't sell to well, should they refund everyone and promise to do a better job next time? That's not how the market works. There are literally thousands of CCGs out there, it's just that nobody cares about them, they all just play the big ones. That's how it works with all multiplayer games I guess, people only play the two big MOBAs too, unless you can make something really noteworthy and worth switching nobody is gonna bother.
Valve could try and do anything, but unfortunately even having unlimited money and hiring celebrity game designers doesn't mean you're going to have a good game, you need to actually have in-touch, motivated people in your business and Valve just sit around all day counting their Steam dollars and not caring about video games. Artifact was a game with zero passion behind it, it was like "Hearthstone was big, we have an IP, lets hire the designer from MTG, there's a formula for success" Too bad it's not that easy

No.

Invoker not being difficult doesn't impact the mechanical skill he needs to be played at the most optimal level. You can play Invoker as Tornado -> EMP -> Deafening blast and still do well, but it's nothing compared to an Invoker who can do all the combos

There is a reason why everyone loves blinkdagger but hates flash. They are both really good by blinkdagger actually forces you to sacrifice something by being an item with no stats or damage that you have to farm for. Meanwhile you can start with flash and has no oppertunity cost besides giving up an objectively WORSE summoners spell.

Do you have a single unbiased source to bacm that up

>uncounterable
there's plenty of ways to still kill someone even if they flash
a flash has to be used correctly to be effective it's not always a 100% free out

the main reason why I don't play dota 2 is because it's full of russians thirdworlders who can't speak english

Let me guess, the counter to flash if using flash yourself.

Yes you can kill someone who uses flash over a wall by also using your flash over a wall.

Stop being retarded, flash isn't an option like the other summoner spells. It is manditory.

several champions don't take flash

How many blinks/dashes/etc. do these champs have?

A very VERY small minority of characters that allready have high mobility don't take it and it's still incredible on them because it dubbels their mobility.
That or tanks that can run farther with ghost instead.

riot themselves have admitted the game fucking sucks without flash and they can't remove it. no one cares about the exceptions.

nasus often doesn't take flash and he has none

Dota is a shitty garbage dead game infested with third world shitters, by default LoL is better. A reminder this is dota (((western))) team

why didnt he just dash

>implying league doesn't have just as many chinks/pooinloos/etc.

Ah yes, a tank that has enough HP that he can cover more distance without flash to get away with Ghost. The only league archetype in league that isn't outright forced to take flash. I've said it before but if some characters don't take flash it is an auto lose.

either retardation or it was on cd

>uncounterable
never heard of ganking? if your jungler gets you opponent down to at least half HP they will most likely use their flash to get away, thus they won't have an escape card in the next encounter

>just gank them twice
>they won't play differently with their free escape on cd
>there won't be new wards
>he won't have help nearby the second time

yes, this often happens even at the highest levels of play

Hell and that still doesn't change the fact that flash is manditory for basically every character.
If you don't pick flash you are forced to play so safe that you'll just give your opponent way more farm than you can ever recover from. Flash is so playstyle changingly powerfull that not picking it means you have to play passive and probably lose. The only characters that don't have to pick it are tanks, because they can probably survive bad encounters with their giant healthpool and ghost or characters that allready have insane mobility. And even on those characters it's still like the second best summoner spell to pick because of how much utillity it provides.

Flash is inexcusable. It ruins the idea of summoner spells by adding one that you have to allways pick.

SMITE.
