I just thought they were part of their own genre, like "Team Action RPG" or similar. Those games, while they do include tactics/strategy, are based around the premise of personal character advancement (RPG) in a team-based setting. It seems strange to call them strategy just because they were originally built using the RTS engines of Starcraft & Warcraft III. | |

The recent patch has removed turrets destroyed from the scoreboard, despite the fact that the only way to win is by killing turrets and that any character kills are incidental to good pushing strategy. I once won a match where my team went 10-53 because the other team couldn't kill a single turret, but could kill other heros. | |
| Aug 31, 2011 at 17:26 | comment | added | zzzzBov | It should be noted for LoL that many players frown upon "backdooring" because they feel it's not a fair fight (personal experience from pushing the crap out of teams with Master Yi). Oftentimes an unbalanced creep push will be called backdooring because everyone else is fighting elsewhere, although this is a misnomer, as a real backdoor requires that no creeps be present. | |
