Is my impression wrong?

No.
I don't play any more too.
Actually last time i was in, my friend list had like 3 ppl online from 15+.
Why bother at all if devs doesn't see the problems. Oh its beta, right.

That's a laugh since LoL is way better than DotA2 and HoN is a joke. In gameplay terms. LoL is by far the deepest of the three in tactical and strategic terms as well. BY FAR.

and thats why its mostly played by 12-16y/o 9fag users. Dota2 is clearly superior.

How did this derail into a MOBA pissing contest?

The internet is interesting at times.

Every game has a huge rush of people when it first comes out. Even if none of them quit playing altogether, the number of concurrent players online at any given time would still be expected to drop.

If you look at the ladder you will see that there are tens of thousands of characters above level 60.

I don't care how popular the game seems, I play solo and I know that the game is good enough to retain a long-term loyal player-base who are willing to support the game as I am.

I also don't think GGG were intending for PoE to be the most popular next-big-thing, they've developed this game with a certain niche of gamers in mind and those are the ones who will stay, play and support the game.

This topic always pops up in the weeks/months following the OB of any MMO and I think it's silly, you will ALWAYS see a drop in population/forum activity once the initial hype of a new game dies down - end of story.

Can you deny in LoL? yeah I thought so.

Not sure if trolling. I love LoL myself but it's by far the easiest one of the three big MOBAs to pick up and play (mind you, it's still hard to master so I'd never say LoL is an easy game). It boils down to personal preference since all three of them are good games.

Last hitting your own creeps isn't exactly the pinnacle of skill :p Though I must say denying your own teammates is fun, always feels like maximum trolling.

This is what every startup/new product looks like. EDIT: *at the start. I can't see the future.
Given that the game went into OB less than a month ago, guess where we are on this graph. :P

I quite like this.

The initial population boom of PoE was beyond what any of us anticipated, Chris included. It caused some pretty shaky moments, as most of us recall. Here's the kicker: the population boom was of course initial curiosity as to how it'd all go, but part of the reason people stop playing are those growing pains resulting from initial population booms.

We always knew the population would drop off -- but that doesn't mean 'dead'.

Not by a long shot. I look at it as a snowball that then crashes into a big old rock. Let's call that rock 'reality'. Does the snow that constituted the gigantic snowball suddenly cease to exist? Of course not. It's just dispersed.

Anyway, I always said that PoE will choose its players. That's the sort of game GGG has made, and it's the sort of game many of us chose to support.

I wouldn't want it any other way.

Moderator note: keep this on-topic and civil please. I'm seeing too many of our usual...vociferous posters talking about things that just aren't worthy of this thread. Go make an off-topic thread about MOBAs if you'd like. They are not relevant here.

Never said it was about skill, the guy said "In gameplay terms. LoL is by far the deepest of the three in tactical and strategic terms as well." denying is pretty much there to gain strategic advantage on your enemies in terms of farm and experience, you can't do this in LoL.
