Well I meant isn't LoL just a simplified knockoff of DOTA?
dota 2 began development in 2010ish, lol in 2008 or so

DOTA was originally just a game mode right?

mod for warcraft 3, yeah.

Also, LoL definitely takes more skill than a rhythm game.
Excuse me?

and again, DDR like games involve actual physical activity
have you ever seen a proass DDR player? those guys are loving fit.

mod for warcraft 3, yeah.
yeah, so it's technically even older

A million times this.

I hate it when people don't get this.

might i say, all you have to do is memorize a pattern for games like ddr and just keep practicing that.
league is different every time.

nahson, most higher level games have mild randomization, and tournaments will often not announce what songs participants will be doing
not to mention the simple fact that the seemingly simple idea of "memorizing movements" is not at all as easy as it sounds, lol

Apply the "mines" mod, which replaces random notes with mines, which if hit, reduce your life. That, and a mod that basically does random unpredictable stuff to the playfield. There are also mods to "scramble" steps.

Even then, predictability isn't something that would make DDR easy, or any game for that matter. No matter how many times you practice, a level 17 song with 12 notes a second is going to drain your stamina instantly every time.

Side note: most people play songs about five times and can pretty much max out their skill on that one song, because nobody memorizes patterns. The only case in which memorization is required, is if there are speed changes in the song which cannot be read normally. Half of the skill is purely in reading the notes. A lot of my friends always ask me "do you memorize all that??" Bitch, you think I feel like memorizing five minutes worth of patterns?

ah. although being an lol player myself, i don't wanna ONLY defend lol because i do kinda agree with you guys

Well...

WE ARE BECOMING LIKE THOSE FAT PEOPLE IN WALL E

Yeah, I was on and off of Stepmania way back then. Often got too frustrated to continue playing. Don't know how I ended up here, though.

It's not like LoL is now the only sport, haha.

mod for warcraft 3, yeah.
and it hurt the warcraft 3 community. The loving Dota community flooded Warcraft 3 with Dota, they didn't let new comers in and banned anyone who was downloading the map. Every single lobby page had DOTA and it sucked. I still find DotA and LoL boring to this day as I would rather be forced to play all those LOAP edits.

Excuse me?
Memorize it like a musician would, easy.

That's, once again, not the point.  it's classified as a sport for getting a visa to live here.  I bet the same could be done with something like chess.
