Resolution: Dota 2 is a better game than League of Legends

My opponent's claim to have successfully argued that League of Legends is a worse game in such a subjective matter is quite interesting. I remember fondly of moments when I was watching replays of Starcraft Brood War competitive games on the internet with the strategy of reaver drop played every other protoss game[reaver_drop_miss_you]. There are many people out there that would love to have the old Starcraft brought back in the new Starcraft 2 engine just so that the old strategies would be carried over and the new champions could be compared with the champions of old times. Imagine talking to random people that play MOBA's and having a 10 to 1 dominance of the ones playing League of Legends. How would that go for the people in the minority? Fans of Starcraft 1 that might have issues with the corporate lead upgrade of one game to another just dropped off the map. That will not happen to League of Legends fans in large gatherings of gamers for as long as it will continue to have such a dominance in player numbers and as long as it's developer has a continued stream of revenue as opposed to Starcraft 1 and Blizzard. I urge my oponnent to read carefully the updated version of the article that he himself pointed to on the internet and find out that it actually supports my claim that League of Legends being an order of magnitude more popular is not contested by DFC Interactive. Especially the following quotes: 'We contacted DFC"s David Cole for more info.[...]"LOL does have a lot more users and we may have underestimated LOL. Thing is we have never seen anything like it so have been pretty conservative.[...]"'; ' The press release announcing DFC"s report has since been removed.'. The wiki has a front page area reserved for competitive outfits in League of Legends[16_pro_teams_wiki_front_page]. My opponent would have those composed of people that are not already famous or currently getting fame in the hearts and minds of League of Legends amateur players. The same way as me claiming go has no fan heroes because I'm biased towards chess. Considering League of Legends is bigger than it's variant Dota2 and chess and go are of similar sizes when it comes to popularity across the globe I find that very hard to believe. The bigger community always spawns the bigger fan clubs. League of Legends is a game that caught an open niche and has grown that niche to incredible heights. And now the developers have mountains of money to hire experienced game developers and turn a very good game into an even better one step by step. I currently play the Neverwinter mmo but what I would like to play is World of Warcraft, a good game already turned better by mountains of money. If and when they turn free to play I would highly consider switching because WoW's bigger game and larger community makes the WoW experienced better. When it comes to minor features like denies or creep stacking or any other minor details like that there is nothing like 10 friends illuminating the finer details of why League of Legends is such a good game as opposed to the single one saying Dota2 is such a good game, when you are a complete noob at both games. That includes counter picking,team fighting being optional, the day and night cycle, the difference between active and passive abilities, gold dropping and others not mentioned. I believe toxic player bans are irrelevant and both games stand on equal ground. The Elder Scrolls Morrowind is a game that built a huge franchise and it may or may not be superior to fans of Elder Scrolls by Bethesda. But I was talking about game consoles that were in the same generation. The two consoles competed in the same space at the same time. So my argument that graphics quality is irrelevant for fans of League of Legends when compared to Dota2 isn't touched by the Morrowind Skyrim comparison. League of Legends was built as functional and fast as possible because money were scarce and is trumping Valve's overall experience in getting out better looking games with more polished features. And the community seized the game because it was the first on the block as opposed to original DOTA where you had to have Warcraft 3 to have access to it. So Riot are making the worse looking, less polished game with mostly the same system requirements and have on their hands the better game of the two because of the community. If the developers don't drop the ball and make mistakes they will have the most popular MOBA in the industry for a long time to come. Cubism is an art movement. And cubes may or may not be relevant to this debate. If they are I can build a bunch of them in a graphical design software and render them for inclusion on the side area of a second online debate with the same topic.
