I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it's a bad game. Don't do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you'll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent's cool thing.

Do you have a similar game?

It's a bad game that makes you bad by exposure

I really wanted to get into MOBA games, the idea seem really cool. But every one I've tried the meta/community seem infuriating.

[โ€“] Vlhacs@reddthat.com 8 points 2 years ago

It's just annoying how everything has to follow the "meta" and if you do dare to try something else and you don't perform above expectations you'll get shit on. I just want to play the game the way I enjoy it sometimes.

I play Blizzard's MOBA, Heroes of the Storm, every now and then.

Similar to most others, the community can be toxic as fuck, but the "vs AI" mode is fun enough to keep me coming back.

It's so good. I tried it first and then tried LOL. I couldn't do it because it was such a step back.

The worst game I've ever sunk thousands of hours into

I hate this game but I love Bard. He's the only fun thing in the game. ARAM too.

OMG so much this!

Yep, this is mine. And I have barely any time in compared to serious players. But when it was first becoming a thing I think I probably put in 50+ hours playing with my friends. As someone who primarily plays single player games this is a lot. Then I realized I hated every minute playing, and it was making me hate my own friends. It was actually stressful to play. I would be angry after ever play session. So I quit.

Fuck League of Legends. It's shit and no one will convince me otherwise.

it was making me hate my own friends

Yep. Other games it's easy to brush off a mistake and laugh about it. Just something about this one (probably the massive time investment and amount of attention required for every game) had us seething at each other... I played for 10 years and probably played less in those 10 years than most of my friends I played with did in their first 2... Lol. I liked team fight tactics, but blizzard did it better in my opinion. And they removed Dominion. Was the only game type that was worth playing. >.>

I've find aram to be pretty fun tbh. No raging or anything, just skill spamming and it's super casual
