Oops.

What MOBAs do you play? I play LoL and a little bit of Dota2 now and then. I'm not very good though.

I used to work with Heroes of Newerth, shoutcasted for a few years, but later moved over into Dota 2 as I find it to be the superior game. Nowadays I mostly play all-random non-ranked games because I can't take it seriously with all the rage and tryharding. Just playing to have fun, hehe.

Tried my fair share of LoL but it's too casual for me, and I can't stand the fact that the games economy is built on more money = more power, in which LoL is unique to any other MOBA.

That's pretty cool. Shoutcasting is just one of the employment opportunities opened up by doing journalism, so that would be a pretty awesome career to get into for me.

Re LoL, how is more money = more power? In terms of buying champs and skins with RP/real money, or do you mean team advantages (gold from objectives like towers, dragon and baron snowballing one team far further ahead)? In the last season, Riot nerfed snowballing to the ground. It's pretty common for games to last longer than 40 minutes because teams that are behind can always turtle in base.

I have a feeling that I'm slightly off topic.

Yeah, but I have a solution!

Bumping to both remind you that you're all awesome and make sure you know what to aspire to ;)

I'm seeing a few minor conflicts and the occasional flame/insult appear here and there and want to ensure you understand that this is not ok.
