Thunder Glove, I too have gravitated to LoL. I think because it is easy, and I am not emotionally invested. With CoH I was... with every single toon I had... Interesting point...
I don't know if "gravitated" is the right word. I'm not really enjoying it.
I die way too much because CoH has skewed my perception of how survivable a Tank should be. Every time I die I want to scream at the other players "This guy you claim is a tank takes 45% damage for six seconds and 100% damage the rest of the time! That is not a tank!" It really says something about CoH vs. other games that their "ultimate" Defensive Mastery skill is a whopping
3% reduction in damage.
And I hate how difficult the so-called "Beginner" bots are. I can only kill one if I have at least one other person helping me. One-on-one, I just die (even if I started the fight with more health). I don't know how I'm going to handle Intermediate bots, let alone actual players without predictable patterns. I don't find the game easy at all. Every fight is an exercise in frustration, and, while my
team has won fights, I haven't had any direct influence on those victories.
And I hate how gear-focused the game is. Mastering all the +Health skills nets you 31 extra HP at level 1 (or 138 extra HP at max level); a cheap amulet at level 1 adds 180. And yet even the gear with the best bonuses never seems to help me survive.
And I hate how long each battle takes. (Especially since I spend so much of each one faceplanted)
Most of all, I hate that I can't play the character I actually want. Before I started playing the game, I looked over the Champion list, found one who sounded interesting, and said to myself "There. That's my main. When I get into the game, I'm choosing that one!"
... only to learn that the character I wanted is not available to new F2P players (and in fact is one of the most expensive Champions in the game), so I'm stuck with playing goofy-looking scarecrows and blatant 8-Bit Theater ripoffs. I like creating my own characters, not having to pick from a limited pool of preselected characters (and that pool will change in a few days, so any tricks I've managed to pick up so far will be useless to me).
On top of that, it turns out my computer's OS is a little too old to properly run the game, and so I can't access the in-game store to unlock any Champions, even though I have enough IP for a couple of Heroic-tier characters so I could at least have something resembling a "main" until I save up enough IP to get the character I actually wanted to play. Or so I thought.
... part of how I'm handling the loss is ranting about how much other games seem to be doing their best at being exactly the OPPOSITE of everything I loved about CoH.
