sports games
anything based off a movie
children's games
fishing and hunting games
all those infinite tacky puzzle/minigame compilations for the Wii

Just getting the obvious ones out of the way.

There aren't really any genres I avoid due to gameplay, but certain genres almost exclusively follow certain aesthetics or themes that are just not appealing so I avoid them.

Death comes to all of those who oppose me.

While I can't say there is any type of game that I really hate. I'm not a huge fan of fighting games or racing games, but I have purchased both and probably will again. Although, that's really more of a once in a few years kind of thing.

FPS - I can't aim without seeing my character's body so I can strafe.
Rhythm - for the love of god, do not go into a room and conclude that throwing neon and flashing lights constitutes good graphics. This doesn't help me since I'm photosensitive so it is distracting from the gameplay. You had it right with stable album art in DDR, don't change it.
Sports - Don't make me simulate gym class.
Fighting - Applies to all other than smash. If I have to memorize 3+ directions to perform one move, it's too complicated.
MOBA - Even though I play LoL, community is 2toxic4me. Also you only get 10 champions to start out with, which change per week and have to adapt to the meta or get ridiculed in champion selection.
Motion controls - You [radio edit]ed up Nintendo.
Party games - Too many minigames with dead motion controls bore me. It was novel when mario party was still new and had ideas in the bank. Please stop beating the dead horse.

Ah, yeah, Horror games aren't my cup of tea either. I can watch other people play them, but I can't play them myself.

Fighting games are probably one of mine too, but every once in a while I can find one that interests me. Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax for example, it'll be the first one I get since Soul Calibur 3. Overall though, definitely not a huge fan of the genre.

I used to have no intrest in horror games, then Dead Space happened.. And it was amazing. Youtubers had a hand in my growing like for the genre, too.

Generally if any genre incorpirates scifi, space and such it has more appeal to me to be more open to playing it.

The only sports games I've played are Mario Tennis, Wii Sports and Sports Champions. All of which I liked, the latter one probably being my favorite. But not EA sports games yet.

Ah, yeah, licensed games. Not really a genre, but anything based on a blockbuster movie or TV show, I've found, is almost guaranteed to be garbage. I've seen a couple that are worth playing, but most of those have been fangames, not official.

Also yeah MOBAs, forgot about them. They're in the same vein as fighting games for me, in that I don't really have a problem with the genre itself, beyond its usual steep learning curve making it very hard for me to get into.

Fighting (exception: Smash?), sports, MOBA, RTS (exception: Age of Empires 2)... I think that's it.

I was never big into platformers. There are some exceptions, of course, but I very rarely go out of my way for them. Sports games are meh, but Virtua Tennis on the Dreamcast was my shit for a little while. Strategy games are fun, but I usually don't have the patience for them - I prefer stuff like city-building instead. Fighters are fun, I just can't learn the combos for shit.

If you can get good at one champion that isn't out of the meta in each of the roles, then you can climb in solo queue up to a certain point. But then it is a matter of patience between leavers, troll picks and that one guy who has to have mid.

This is literally the opposite in dota, lol. The second you start every character is unlocked. Hell they were never locked for anyone in the first place. Also no masteries or runes. Also dota has an older demographic (on average). So yeah, you know, maybe one day when you're you know, bored, you know.....

Confusing new players to the max, hell yeah!

I read a comment somewhere which described it perfectly: League has a learning curve. DOTA has a learning wall. And once you climbed there is another one.

So yeh, League is better for casual newbs, DOTA is more rewarding for people who wanna be the very best, like no one ever was.

That being said I played both and I personally prefer League. In DOTA (for League standards) everything seems to be hilariousely broken. In League (for DOTA standards) you never run out of mana.
