rpanons | You sound fat

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

i dunno, anon, WoW got that reputation more because it's a massive time investment. games in LoL take, what, twenty minutes? thirty minutes?

i know plenty of people you wouldn't think are gamers (and don't even identify as such) admit to playing League. And maybe you know plenty of people who wouldn't dare say aloud because, as we both agree, the LoL community is super toxic. but I still think it's well known enough that a casual player would recognize it and know what it is, and recognize when other games are like it.

the thing about games like this, mmos and now mobas, is that they are intentionally designed to be easy for casuals to grok and get sucked into but addictive enough for people to just play for hours upon hours on end. mmos accomplished this through the traditional rpg systems, leveling and quests and such. mobas are more like fighting games where they're static in a sense, you always start with the same characters and you play by matches rather than a single immersive "world"

i think the problem with moba games is that they attract the very worst types from both the mmo and the fighting games communities, particularly fighters which have suffered from toxic communities of self-styled "professional players" from day one

abso-fucking-lutely. it's a huge part of the reason I didn't stick with it after I tried it. I'd already cut my teeth in the fighting game community and got super burned out by how the boys' club there behaved and it was more of the same in the higher tiers of LoL play.
