Every game of LOL has progression(...)

While a single game in a MOBA has progression, non of that persists to the next match (other than your skill gain as a player).
I was referring to the claim of 'lack of long term profession as a goal of keeping player playing a game'.

you are wrong even there. in LoL, you have progression even outside of the game. back in the day, you unlocked rune slots as you lvld up, and back then, as well as even now, you gain talent points as you lvl up your account. (That is, unless they made it even more horribly confusing since i last played).

@Jetah That is the religious side of charisma... and the meaning behind the word of origin, not the word itself.

~charismatic

/karɪzˈmatɪk/

Learn to pronounce

adjective

exercising a compelling charm which inspires devotion in others.

"he was a charismatic figure with great appeal to the public"

synonyms:charming, fascinating, full of personality, strong in character;

magnetic, mesmerizing, captivating, bewitching, beguiling, attractive, appealing, alluring, hypnotic;

magical, glamorous

"a charismatic leader"~

Having charisma can simply be having a way with words to inspire other, like the "I have a dream" speech by Martin Luther King Jr. Charisma has more than one form, like many words in the english language.

They’ve been pretty clear on progression from the get go.

You'd have a point if gear didn't have stats, but it does, directly contradicting that link.

~facepalm~ even socks provide minor defence. The horizontal progression is that all gear (specific to type, like say chestplate or greaves) will be the same strength overall as all other gear of the same type. Being naked and having gear equipped are two completely different things. you cant expect a spear to do the same amount of damage as someone's fists. Something to take note of as well... you can make some very basic equipment within 10 minutes easily if you tried. You wont be super strong in any specific way, coz your 'stats' will be spread, rather than focused. But it still fits a baseline for horizontal progression. just 10 minutes... if that. 2 mins if u really speedran it

@Xzait
a weight lifter has to lift weights or they'll lose their strength. they dont need to get sick for that to happen.

thanks Captain Obvious... that is the whole 'moving stats around' i commented about. Effort is put in to maintain a min/max build in a real life aspect. What next? you will say you lose intelligence if you don't use your brain?

@Jetah lol. you dont evwn know what charisma means. Charisma isn't beauty. google it. and if you already did, read it properly. Charima is a quality that inspires devotion in others, in a non aggressive manor tthat doesnt involve bribery. And your comment with the whole 'follow power' thing... i already said that. stop skim reading comments. you do it all the time and people are always having to retell you the same stuff over and over.

@Tuoni In effect, the only time we will 'lose points' would be under the effects of debuffs (like sickness, famine or heatstroke)

@Tuoni you are effectively explaining min maxing... the topic of the discussion... That is exactly what they r doing.

lol all these people saying if they had played for 40+ hours and got beaten by someone playing for 5 mins... if that happens, you just have no skill, or they got to play the alpha and/or beta and probably have more game time than you, or it will be an evenly matched, fun fight... rather than you wiping the floor with them in 2 seconds.

It is not how long u have played that matters, it is how you spend the time. Heck, when i played Alpha 1 Test 2, i didnt even have armour 40 mins in. I was too busy gathering all the materials i could see to learn what they all where and looked like. And then what they were for. I didnt have any armour for probably 10h, after i decided where i wanted to try and build a house. And if you get beaten by someone that had played for 5 minutes after playing for 40+ hours... why the hell weren't you making healing potions?

@Tuoni not really. we all still die from one bullet to the head, regardless of what we have specialised in. In effect, we all have say 200 stats at birth, and it is where we place them that builds who we are. we dont gain stats, we dont lose them, we only move them around based on what we do in our day to day lives.
