I’m pretty sure their comment only really existed to dismiss LoL as a “copy of a popular mod”.

I'm merely saying that they could have avoided some of the issues if they designed a new game from scratch.
These problems are inherent to nature of being in the real-time PvP genre.

And AFAIK LoL was designed from scratch, it's Dota that actually based on the code of the WoW mod. Not that it matters today, that code is long gone.

I wasn't talking about the code.

Btw, you are thinking of Aeon of Strife (Starcraft mod). World of Warcraft hasn't even been released back then.

He's thinking of DotA, the Warcraft mod.
