Streamer Alexander "Nix" Levin explained why League of Legends is more popular than Dota 2. In his opinion, the reason lies in the simplicity of Riot Games' MOBA.
"We live in an era where short videos and Reels are the most popular things. And it's not for nothing. Nowadays, nobody wants to play complex games. StarCraft is the greatest esports game, but it simply died out. Nobody will come to play it because it's complicated. Why do people play LoL instead of Dota 2? Because 'Dota' is much more complex. In LoL, there are no active items, denies, buybacks, or glyphs, there's just *** [nothing]. Just memorize four buttons and click. Also, the map is half the size." - Alexander "Nix" Levin
Earlier, Levin talked about his attempts to play League of Legends. The streamer tried the Riot Games' MOBA twice but didn't find the motivation to stick around. More details on this can be found on our website.
