Why do we have LOL forum in the Hive?

[MN Lahmar]

I've been wondering why the hell do we have a forum for LOL. It should be for DOTA. Dota 1 basically represents War3 but LOL has nothing to do with Warcraft or Blizzard. To me, LOL is just an imitation of Dota.
I'm suggestion that we have a forum for Dota which discusses Dota 2 modeling.
This is my personal opinion don't rage if you're a LoL fan.

DotA already has a forum so I guess nobody would ask about DotA here at hive.

As chobibo said, DotA already has its own forum.
Discussing DotA 2 Modelling sounds more like we're modding DotA 2 while we aren't and we haven't made an arrangement about that here, in hive.
If you want to discuss things that related to DotA 2, you can just make a thread at General Gaming.

LOL is like a bastard child of Warcraft III, so having a forum here because of its relation is appropriate.

Yup, but wait for that DotA 2 thing though. If it turns out good, the Hive can have a whole new section for its resources.

DotA 2 has been released more than a year ago.

 

[Vinz]

The modding tools, I meant.

I'd rather have a forum about plastic products than a DOTA forum, nuff said.

I can't find the image anymore, but apparently in Warlords of Draenor there is an NPC that looks exactly like Rengar and has you collect teeth for him. So obviously Blizzard loves LoL, so we support LoL here.

 

[Vinz]

LoL would be better if they knew how to survive without selling their company...

The answer is that we have acquired a new shift to what the site is hosting. While Blizzard products prevail and preserve the identity of the forum, we have allowed and will be allowing more games from different companies, as long as we find a forum dedicated to them worthy of implementation.

Regarding DotA 2 versus LoL, both have flourished from an idea that was already consolidated in WarCraft III (if you really need an argument for that) and are therefore representative of an AoS-era.

 

[Vinz]

Is it just me or this thread was somehow closed and reopened (cleaned)?

 

[Ralle]

I deleted a lot of the DotA talk and re-opened it.

It's just the amount of randomness we've reached with forum creation. The last 3 or so created forums didn't seem to have any consideration for overlapping or coverage of topics.
