Dota 2 vs League of Legends

VERDICT

Dota 2 has 597,946 concurrent players right now. League of Legends has 38,179 Twitch viewers. This is not an apples-to-apples comparison. One side reports live Steam concurrent players; the other has no public concurrent API, so the value shown is Twitch viewers as the closest popularity proxy. Dota 2 is the more active title right now. Both games still have living audiences; the gap reflects today's momentum, not the long-term picture.
