Yeah I kinda have to agree with this as though I despise the little stout buggers that think their on par with draksar they really aren't moga style.

Main differences I see
1. Like all of SL it is a good bit built around alpha strike turns.

2. Instead of just recklessly throwing a horde of cheap spam champs that cost so little and cool down quickly that it doesn't matter if they die at your enemy sheezik have to keep at least 5 of them alive for their bonus.

3. Then there is also the fact that SL lacks many of the SP spell tricks SP has.

4. SL currently doesn't have healing beyond regen and Vally and that makes a bit of a difference style wise.

You guys need to read all of Hash's post before you disagree with him. He said the difference is that SP relies on really efficient cheap "swarmy" champs while SL relies on having fewer "super champs" out. Are they different? Of course! But both SL and SP are champ dominant/dependent factions. The difference is in the nature of those champs and how the faction's spells/relic/equips compliment them. SP has some of the most efficient AoEs/spell damage while SL is about the alpha strike/superturn.

If you accept these things then what Hash said is valid. If you play SP because you like building your playstyle around champions, SL will be like playing the other side of the same coin.

Skeezick is the closest thing the remotely relates to the swarm that is moga, but skeezick are inferior if you try to transplant gameplay styles. But in all SL bgs you will live and die by your ability to play champs.

Hmm, I would argue that SL is a spell-based faction with champ support, but that's just me. :)

SL's spells quickly become useless or flat overcost without champions. SP's spells don't care how many champions you have.

I know, but SL is all about the DBs and Quicks for the most part.

Which are only as strong as the number of champs you have out.

forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't SP above SL in the rankings?
