I like this metric. It should be industry standard now
As long as that means there is more Nurse Akali cosplay.

I don't believe in either of those claims and I find it funny people dismissing this article but believing blindly in the absurds numbers riot gave :O
they literally can say any number and people will believe and in both cases there's just as much reliable sourcesSpoilers: none

Also, let me just say for cosplay at PAX East ,LoL outnumbered Dota by like 20 to 1. In fact LoL cosplay pretty much dwarfed pretty much any other cosplay though Borderlands seemed to have a good turn out.
No it hasn't. The numbers just plain don't add up. LoL has 5 million PCU worldwide and Dota has 300k PCU, and I highly doubt the east makes up 94% of LoL's playerbase.
Also that report cites Xfire, lol.
nobody wants to see nurse AA for example
LoL cosplay was popular at PAX Prime last year. That's also due to Riot paying who knows what ungoldy amount to make sure DotA wasn't at PAX as well as paying girls/women to be cosplayers. There were a number of VERY well done outfits of scantily glad LoL characters to the point where I just had to ask - it finally boiled down to, "I'm not supposed to tell if I was asked if I wanted to do this and be compensated or not" with a wink.
EVERYTHING IS BULLSHIT.
on par with what forgeforesaken said,
if dota2 actually beats out league, trust me, we will know from valve
I like how you think
league is clearly superior from a sex appeal perspective
nobody wants to see nurse AA for example
but are you saying there would be more dota cosplay than league cosplay if none of that happened
What about a Nurse Lina?
LoL trounces DotA 2 in popularity, concurrent users, time played, whatever metric you want to use. It's not close. And I also doubt the whole "Once DotA 2 opens up to the Asian region, look out folks! Millions will flock over!"... I doubt it. LoL is conquering the world. The Chinese teams that have played in the tournaments have been some of the best in the world. LoL will have the Asian region locked up as well. /lolfanboy
Uh there are actually millions of chinese WC3 Dota players that didn't move to 2 because it's not available there yet...
but are you saying there would be more dota cosplay than league cosplay if none of that happened
What about a Nurse Luna?
Gotta be honest, the DOTA heroes aren't good for cosplay anyway. AFAIK most cosplayers are female, and there aren't that many women in DOTA with the appeal for cosplay.
Lina
Crystal Maiden
Drow Ranger
Windrunner
Mirana
Phantom Assassin
Queen of Pain
Vengeful Spirit
Death Prophet
Medusa
Now compare with the number of bug, antro chars.
There are only like 3 bugs heroes in the game (Which all have Invis abilities...)Gotta be honest, the DOTA heroes aren't good for cosplay anyway. AFAIK most cosplayers are female, and there aren't that many women in DOTA with the appeal for cosplay.

What are the min specs for both Dota 2 and LoL? I would imagine that Dota 1 is still so popular in china because it runs on calculators by this point. Most Chinese gamers are not going to have gaming rigs. I am assuming that internet cafes outside of the weathier areas of a few cities are similar to those in Latin American countries like Costa Rica, where most of the PCs are 7-10 years old.
You can only include Puck if you include Wisp. Both are Genderless!I'm a bit surprised at this, given the higher PC specs and controlled availability.
Must be the hats.
also,
Luna
Legion Commander
Templar Assassin
Puck :3
There are only like 3 bugs heroes in the game (Which all have Invis abilities...)
Legion Commander would likely be decent material once she comes out. You also left out the likes of Drow and Templar Assassin, which would likely be popular choices. (I just can't see people doing decent Enchantress Cosplay)
Luna
Templar Assassin
Naga Siren
Medusa
Spectre
Broodmother
Unreleased
Legion Commander
But they're definitely not as buxom LoL characters..

Looking at those specs, it's pretty clear that neither require much. Or rather, both can scale down pretty fucking low.LoL is the better choice for low-end PCs and laptops, but they're fairly comparable.
League of Legends - Minimum:
--------------------
*2 GHz processor
*1 GB RAM (Windows Vista and 7 users will want 2 GB of RAM or more)
*8 GB available hard disk space
*Shader version 2.0 capable video card
DOTA 2 - Minimum:
--------
* Processor: Pentium 4 3.0GHz
* Memory: 1 GB for XP / 2GB for Vista
* Graphics: DirectX 9 compatible video card with 128 MB, Shader model 2.0. ATI X800, NVidia 6600 or better

I totally forgot about Templar and Luna. That point stands still, very few of them have the appeal those LoL females have.
What? Appeal to whom? Those cosplaying or those wanting to see them cosplayed? I would expect to see different (easier and sexier) LoL cosplays than some of the ones at PAX Prime last year.
edit: Are you saying there are more LoL Champions that are appealing because they're just a 'normal' person that's clothed opposed to some type of difference race/species/whatever?
It applies to strategy games, in general. Even StarCraft II, a relatively high-tech engine, can run on PCs that cost less than my textbooks for the last semester.Hmm, I'm impressed that DOTA2 scales so low. Those min specs would match a 2004-2005 machine. Low enough to not be a hindrance in China and similar places.

I wonder how bad Dota2 looks with all the graphics settings bottomed out compared to a bottomed-out LoL.

more T&A in LoL.
RIOT chick talking bunch of crap no one cares about nets 800k youtube views within a few hours. That youtube link is linked within the game itself.
RIOT had claim 3 million concurrent users at peak which is still 10 times more DOTA2.
5 million was the unique logins per day. 100 million unique logins per month.
/guilty
I've been a part of a team big tits vs team bigger tits game.
No way Dota2 is bigger than League of Legends.
No, 5 million was concurrent as of March according to Riot
http://www.riotgames.com/articles/20130312/700/league-legends-players-summit-new-peak
And that puts the Dota2 total player base at 2 million less than the reported concurrent peak player base of LoL. Which is why this report is so hard to believe, as Riot just reported the 5 million concurrent last month.
From that is this: http://www.riotgames.com/articles/20120914/276/players-log-1-billion-lol-hours-each-month
1 billion hours a month for LoL, and that's from a few months ago.
Someone could do some fancy calculus and figure out from the player numbers that are available in steam and we could have a direct comparison. If you wanted to keep it to the west or whatever just approximate a fraction.

I've set my sliders to lowest on an integrated GPU before (i5-2500+HD2000), but I don't remember DotA 2 looking THAT ugly. It only ran at around 20FPS though.
Bull.
Shit.
And DOTA2 isn't even officially out yet
Damn
Hmm can't be that?
This really is not relevant at all. If you want a dota 2 key, you can get one incredibly easily.
