League of Legends pulled in an estimated $964 million between January and September of this year, according to SuperData research (via VentureBeat), making the magical $1 billion mark almost a sure thing. And it's not alone: Last year's first-place finisher, the military FPS CrossFire, is at $897 million, Nexon's Dungeon Fighter Online is sitting at $891 million, and World of Warcraft has brought in $728 million. All them have a good shot at making it over the hump.

Also noteworthy is just how badly League of Legends is trouncing the other big free-to-play games in North American, Dota 2 and Hearthstone. Both made the list, but way, way back in the pack: Dota 2 is at number nine with $136 million in revenues, while Hearthstone brought up the rear with $114 million. I'm not going to shed too many tears for either of them, but it's a remarkable gap between them.

Ok now you are being unreasonable.
League of legends is not at all P2W.
All the performance enhancing items(Runes) can only be bought with the in game currency earned by playing games. Runes can in no way be bought using dollars.

Face it, League is superior.

Ok..let's just say this way
Both are good in their own way.
LoL has a bigger fan base in the west, Like Dota is popular in Asia-Eastern Europe region

Yeah, the korean server is like a world of it's own.. There's a running gag - NA Challenger = Korean Bronze..
If you look at the statistics, the korean server has the lowest bronze count among all other servers but a population size bigger than EU East or West

Koreans are professional gamers.

After NA Challenger League(highest) comes Korean Bronze League.

Me:Yes.

After some time and some more deaths.
P1: PA Noob.
Me: I said yes. Don't you get it. I said I am noob. Are you reta****?

Dota 2 players can't even grasp the simple concept that new players are bad. :-/
