Meh. I don't really care for the game myself, but I disagree with the idea that its not fun or appealing for its audience, or that its all somehow artificial. I'm sure the devs have worked to build the scene, but that doesn't mean its all fake. That just sounds like weird conspiracy nonsense.

I doubt it'd have that many players if it wasn't somehow fun. Besides I've had friends get sucked into LoL hardcore.

LoL is nothing like that. It's not a good or hard game that takes impressive amounts of skill. It didn't become the most popular esport because it's so great, it became popular because the developers created the most artificial and fake competitive scene for it imaginable.

Ok, try playing against any LoL competitive player and tell me you won, the game requires extensive knowledge of every mechanic in the game, and the ability to pull of said mechanics and master the battlefield better, and faster than your opponent, some champions are able to dominate mid game, and others need more set up. it's all about synergy between your team mates, something games like Starcraft doesn't have. it's JUST like The only real differences between Starcraft and LoL is the gameplay, and that starcraft relies on the skill of an individual, while LoL relies on the skill of a team and their abilities as a collective. you saying there's no skill or competition in League is like me saying there's no skill or competition in Starcraft. both are extremely idiotic statements.

Watching them can have its charm too.

For me it depends on how it's done. If it's something like AVGN or Nerd 3 I can watch them all day, but when it comes down to regular playing I find them boring. When there's no difference between the way they're playing and me I might as well play the game.

because the gameplay, and level that these people are at is insanely high. Why do people watch a bunch of people kicking a ball around in a stadium either?

The key difference in this case is skill level. You're watching professional gamers.

Skill level or not they're still doing the same thing that I'm able to do if I have the same game. It's a little different for sports, but when it comes down to video games it's hardly a difference. Someone playing MLG in Halo is no different than me playing online.

^ This.

I can respect their skill, but considering I could play the exact same game and have fun, regardless of whether I myself can get up and run, defeats the purpose of watching it at a competitive level.
At least for me.
