I tried it out but the laning was so damn boring for me, also I don't like moving with the mouse so I went back to Smite. It's good anyway because I've already spent money on and am pretty good at smite, I think lol would take even more time to git gud at and I've put nearly 2000 hours into Smite

Friends got me to try it once promising they'd help me, but they abandoned me and didn't tell me anything so I sucked. Smite felt like more fun anyway. Not that I still play that.

It can be fun with friends, but otherwise League is more trouble than it's worth.

I'd much rather play Dota, but all of my friends adamantly refuse to play it with me,
claiming it's "too slow," "too hard," that "CCs last too long" or that they just don't feel like learning another MOBA. It's all bullshit, mind, but I don't care enough to waste my breath anymore.

League = You have friends

DOTA = You don't

It's as simple as that when making the decision, one is geared for solo play the other really is not.

if you try and take it seriously as a competitive game, it will piss you off

I'm in it. Like.. so deep into it there's no point going back.

I follow NALCS religiously, I've been to World's the past 2 years, I try to get to Split Finals, but the travel is a bit much for me and the people I go with.

I know the game inside and out, and have gotten to Plat 4 on knowledge alone, as my mechanics are absolute garbage. But I can list so much raw information about the game it's almost pathetic. Luckily there's this whole amazing community full of attractive people so I fit right in even though I'm incredibly average looking.

Game literally changed my life, dunno if it's for the better. I met my current GF last year during Summer Split at a bar that airs the LCS games. She's as into it as I am. We treat League like most Americans treat football.

>>376398968
Its true, dota power scales off the effects of items and not numbers. Certain items are numerically better in terms of power but mechanically weaker in terms of its effect. Part of the depth is choosing between damage or utility.

Fell from my grace a long time ago.

It's just not fun anymore. Maybe it's because I already played more than I should have. Maybe it's because you realized that LoL is still flawed to the core and can't be balanced/pushed forward with their Spaghetti Engine.

It has the same issues all ASSFAGGOTS have, the information barrier at first is massive, but it also has the retarded grind for levels and champions.
They push major changes quite frequently, making it so that if you don't follow the changes for a few months you fall behind and don't know anything anymore, and if you have a longer break you basically have to re-learn everything because every season is so different from the others, wich is also a pain in the ass.
It does keep the game somewhat fresh for active players, but even for them the changes can backfire and feel terrible.
Don't play these games if you don't have a active group of +5 players, because randoms are all fucking retarded and if you don't have enough friends you end up sitting 3x longer in a lobby with 3-4 people and waiting hours for the last one to join.
>>
>>376395568
season 1 and early 2 where the bomb. no meta was enforces. team comps that are bannable now where not only played but actually viable to win with. incedentally i stopped playing once i got my dota 2 beta key. i occasionally dip back in to see whats what but it aint good anymore.

if you want good league of legends. look for the torrents of the cybercafe version of season 1 or 2. it has all champs unlocked but only works on lan.

Six heroes in the game have the highest turn speed of 1.0, three of them are ranged.
Twenty heroes have the slowest turn speed of 0.4, six of them are melee.

It's in a good state, it really started to decline after season 3 however after 4 years of trial and error, it seems as though riot has gotten it's act together. The game is in a much more balanced state than it has been in the last 3 years and most of the newly released champions along with the remade champions have all been really solid additions.

It's a good game to play casually.

The champions had quite a lot of depth for a while now, but it sucks that many overarching mechanics are still completely broken.

Also the e-sports have been dead for two seasons now and Riot killed them by going "e-sports every day lmao". Nobody wants to watch that shit where the players and teams change every month.

played from 2009 (beta) - 2013

Used to be really fun until the end of Season 1. GP's huge crits, global TPs, Karthus actually being good, Evelynn and Shaco being truly stealthy assassins etc etc

It slowly became a streamlined, boring e-sport afterwards, my and my friends dropped it eventually. But I still have many sweet memories from these days.

It also got me into Dota2, which isn't as restricted as LoL and allows wacky stuff to happen

Again.. no idea where you're getting your information.

>>376395568
The new client is ass, it actually removed a shit tonne of features and made the client less legible.

The game had a recent update where they were trying to make tanks more viable and fun to play, but they just nerfed them again. Armor nerf and now the health nerf on most tank items means that most bruisers are gutted and tanks are no longer as tanky with 0 benefits given to them as a compromise, just a straight up nerf.
>But anon, the new op gargoyl item doubles your health pool for 4 seconds! broken op d00d
Yeah it doubles your health by if you have stone heart pact, if not it gives you 65% increase for 4 seconds while reducing your damage by an ass load during the duration. Clearly meant for tanks and even more clearly meant for supports and not top laners or engage tanks like the rework was supposed to be buffing.

Sunfire cape went from best top lane item to worst top lane item, hardly has better wave clear and doesn't even tickle most top laners anymore, has become a defunct item only meant for tank junglers going cinderhulk enchant.

Tanks are essentially pawned off to the support role only now, a role that doesn't make that much money so a super tank status is very hard to achieve now unlike when tanks were played in a solo lane and got solo experience and gold.

So tanks don't exist now and we're just gonna go back to the days of fiora and jax top laners spamming the chat with "1v1 me noob" and a screaming virgin Yasuo main mid begging for ganks and never warding.

No thank you, tanks may not have been fun to watch but they balanced the game far more than this absolute cancerous mess of damage dealers and no actual tank because as we've established, a support should not have the tank stats to deal with 4 dps sources whilst in a duo lane.
>>
I mained Vi this year due to her strong solo que win rate. I really like her, she's fairly simple and has a lot of burst.

She got her AS buffed and her E was given 2 charges on level up and everything got out of hand so they just gutted her AS.

Before her base AS was better than she is now currently with 3 AS quints and 9 AS marks. The nerf hit her pretty hard I must say.

It's not worse or better than any other MP game. People are insecure, weak, and will readily point fingers and place blame based on their minimal knowledge of the game. But that's just people.

>1-10, or your start up learning phase should be just fine, no rage, most people will be just as bad as you are and not understand what you and others should and should not do, they won;t even realize when they've gotten you killed etc.

11-17 is pretty aids, you don't have keystone yet so a lot of your builds are lackluster until then, you don't feel specialized in anything. Also you're getting the grasp of things now and starting to understand team play and positioning to a mediocre degree.

18-30 is what I'd consider the sweet spot between fun gameplay and rage, there's the best of both worlds in this bracket, everyone knows enough about the game to have fulfilling games but also everyone knows enough about the game to know when someone has royally fucked up and lost everyone the game, as is often pointed out.

Bronze 5 - Challenger is just pure seething rage. Never play ranked.

It's pretty expensive shit just to do on a whim. They've already done 2 that I'm aware of for the current map. The snow / Christmas themed one and the blood moon themed one they did for that horrible game mode they came up with ages ago.

>Why doesn't the game let you choose a map skin
Probably due to balance, keeping everyone on the same playing field as one map skin may have a tiny bonus associated with it, such as buffs being more visible or something.

I feel like everyone has the same experience until a champion "clicks".

I played this game on and off every weekend with my friends because they insisted and just played Jinx so I could have a friend play with me in the same lane as support and I never gave much of a fuck about the game nor was interested in learning or getting better.

Then literally a year later after that I tried out Shen and he's so much fucking fun that I absolutely love playing now.

>>376395568
It's fun as long as you don't take it seriously, the problem is that a big part of the community does take the game seriously, like their life depends on it, which ruins the game. I would suggest playing it only with friends.
>>
I liked the game in season 2/3, but they kept making the game worse and worse with every update and at this point I just don't care anymore. Solo queue is literally 30 minutes of doing nothing and then walking around until one guy gets caught and we lose. Every game.

It can't be denied they left a big mark in history, especially in Northern Europe which stuff like making sure Sweden got independence from Denmark and keeping the trade flowing in the Baltic. But their demise was also fairly predictable as nations became more centralized.
It's quite ironic that modern Sweden wouldn't exist like it does without them and yet Sweden itself was one of the biggest reasons the league was disbanded.

The balance on some of these champions is completely fucked

How the hell does anyone even play Volibear anymore, they built his kit entirely around jungling but the assassins can gank infinitely better than he can which makes him totally obsolete

There's no point in playing a jungle champ with a movement speed boost when there are a dozen others with dash attacks that can outperform him and any jackass with a snare, root, stun, w/e can pop you one and walk away

It took a long ass while, but I think their design philosophies have finally bore fruit and the game is really good. There's somewhat-clear counterplay against almost every character and strategy if you predict well enough.
Riven is so fucking fun and deep. It's a damn shame League is a team game.
>>
>>376411427
Like Udyr.
Or look at Karthus.
Funny was that riot at one point said that Karthus didn't need changes because of his high winrate although everyone knows/knew that this winrate was the result of scripters using him.
>>
>>376407047
Are you kidding me? Warwick is one of the best reworks they ever did, easily on par with the sion rework. They made him way more fun and easily viable while also keeping his "feel" and thematic. Yorick rework was excellent gameplay wise and now he's extremely fun to play but they were nevery able to fix the players disinterest in him.
>>
How did anyone keep playing this the past 5 years?

Dota came out and demolished it, and dota is shit.

I knew it existed, but never bothered to find out what it was about. I've only recently stumbled upon Jinx cinematic and liked it so much I decided to give the game a go.

I played from the beta till Yorick was just released (the old one not the rework) and it was alright with friends but cancer otherwise.

Over the past 2 months I have been getting back into the game since my little bro is busting my balls to play with him and his friends and it surprised me how very streamlined everything is compared to back then. You got your support items and your jungle items and every character has 1 optimal build, always pick build these 3 items first and then you have some flex space etc. It's still alright and polished as hell compared to earlier but it's still pretty much the same, never solo q.

I friggin' hate that there's one und precisely vun build for champions now, it kills a bunch of variety in playstyles

TF has the kit to be so much more than a mediocre mage, damn it, but you build him AD or attack speed and you're shooting yourself in the fucking foot

Why even give him the AP and AD scaling if you're just going to pidgeon-hole him into a mage role others can do dramatically better

>>376409851

That is the most perfect analogy I have ever seen for League. I fucking love it.

Played it for 2 years from S2 to S4.
Played solo and duo ranked for fun with shit that I thought would work rather than the shit meta.
Community was absolute cancer though and the steady catering to metafaggotry ended up stripping everything I liked out of the game.

If I wanted to get back into it ever I'd probably need to learn a new stagnant meta until I can learn enough to break it and have fun with the game but in its current state I'd probably get banned for doing that.

It is better than DoTa and HoTS as an esport.
But its a lot less interesting than them, and just generally worse. Play DoTA if you want a serious game that relies on mechanical skill and team mechanics, play HoTS if you want a less serious experience and just want to play the short game every once and a while.

I'm a novice that plays both, but I find Dota to be less punishing and even more gank focused (especially early game) than League, mostly it's because some League has ridiculous snowball mechanics. Also I use Vi and Sven, how much of a faggot am I?

Used to be fun when I still played. Riot's not the best company for the game though. I like how laning feels active because you can spam skills all the time unlike in DotA2, but skills are comaratively very weak. Also, I didn't notice how same-y all champions are until I played HotS, I'm really liking the different mechanics and maps.

DotA2 could've been good with cool premises like breaking terrain, but it will always feel like shit because the controls feel like shit, oh well.

Ow Boy. Stockholm Syndrome is the perfect description.

Just listen to the pros talking about this shit. They have literally developed tactics as how to deal with the humiliation that this game brings.

League is that weird oncle that molested your soul. Im glad i quitt. (I still watch competetive sometimes thought)

It has this fascinating ability to turn people who are great when playing literally any other game into raging thundercunts. I played vidya with this one guy for years and years across all kinds of different games and he was chill as anything about all of them, then one day he invited me to play League and the amount of salt pouring out of him with every minor mistake the rest of the team made was unbelievable.

I had some fun with the golden birdman who summoned soldiers (Azir, I think) but the gameplay was frustrating and matches dragged on for way, way too long considering 90% of the time is spent trying to last hit minions over and over and over again. Quit after about a dozen matches or so then never went back.

SMITE as the squirrel and Spearchucker Supreme the lion was fun though.

You don't have to lane, sure, but by constantly roaming you're giving your lane opponent free farm, which - if they're remotely competent - means they'll be so far ahead of everyone else by 20 minutes you're almost guaranteed to lose.
The meta exists for a reason.

I don't understand why people pay for boosting. You almost always belong in your elo, when you get boosted you'll just lose a shit ton of games and drop back down to where you were.

even silvers pretty bad. As a plat player i gotta say the difference is sometimes comical though.

>>376427979
thats not how you roam. you kill your lane opponent and then roam for the kill, returning to take the wave and zone your laner
>>
>>376428460
I hope you realize the pros made the 1 1 2 meta long before rito ever enforced it and that it was the playerbase that wanted them to official recognize laning roles.

Played it for years, stopped about 2 years ago and never looked back.
It got way too up its own ass about competitive and winning, and it stopped caring about chilling with friends and having fun, which is what the focus should be for the general audience.
Wannabe pros that are in bronze/silver/gold and jack off over pro builds/strats are really what killed the game for me. People just parrot what the pros say, even if it doesn't apply to the level of play that they're currently at.
If the popular streamers have an opinion, even if it isn't well founded, it is suddenly law in the community and not following it gets everyone upset

Outdated engine, upgrade or no play.

Can't think of any that have to catch axes like Draven, but Draven was originally created because League had barely any micro heavy champions at the time, and plenty of other mobas have micro intensive characters
>>
>>376431047
to expand on what you just said, draven is probably lols only character with any actual micro, any character in dota will have more micro just from items alone, but stuff like naga siren where you control 4 characters independently from each other are pretty micro invested and fun. or just play starcraft which has tonnes pf micro.
>>
>>376431242

It's not just the micro, it's the satisfying feeling of launching 2 axes into the enemy ad and then see them try to run away only for you to W towards them. Never gets old.

Well if you're asking if other games have satisfying characters where you can outmaneuver/outskill enemies and then checkmate them with cc/better positioning, then yes, there are other games that do it better.
I'd say League is worst for that in general because of how homogenized most of the champ pool is (the high amount of skillshots is pretty fun tho)
In dota/hots you can box people into corners of the map and laugh while they physically can't escape while you/your team beats them to death

Yup. I picked up Bard when he first came out and sucked ass in my first 10-15 games as him until I really figured out the flexibility of his kit. Then I started to win a wide majority of games because of a good Bard's ability to force an inept carry to pick up kills/survive.
Of course, I got shit on by everyone when I would pick him because the pros considered him a pile of steaming garbage, so of course he sucks
Then he gets one little buff, a pro picks him up, and he's suddenly pick/ban tier at the next tournament and everyone loves seeing him
he's the only reason I ever think about going back

I played the game for years, ever since the first season.

I really enjoyed it and did quite well, but over time I just lost the willpower to deal with the aggressive community and the necessary time required to keep up with current meta trends.

Additionally, I just got older and my priorities changed. One thing to be a fresh out of college kid spending a few hours daily improving your creep score, to being in a management position with longer hours and owning a home which requires care maintenance.

I still obviously find time to play vidya, but setting aside 45+ minutes to engage in a game where a single player can snowball a team to defeat just isn't fun. Nor is it fair to ditch teammates in the middle of a match because you're bored, so in the end I just retired..

Played it for years growing up, spent well over $400 on it across multiple banned accounts.
Game never really got any worse, but it never got better either, I eventually quit the ASSFAGGOTS scene for a while when I realized that every game followed the same old shitty DotA formula, barely changing it for their own game.

The recent Overwatch cross promotion in HotS has turned me back on to the genre and I have to say that HotS is actually a fun game.
But I'd never think about going back to LoL, they'd have to start molding the game after HotS if they were to get me back.

Yeah but that's because tanks and supports are made necessary by the game development.

Played since the beta, which was the golden time for the game.
It started getting worse and worse each season and at this point I can't play it without physically feeling nauseous.
Shame I didn't stop playing it earlier, I've played it probably for like +2500 hours

It's shitty forced meta, shitty inbred company running it, incredibly repetitive gameplay, incredibly shitty/underage community and bland/stolen character designs just kill it for me.
No such game exists that infuriates me as much as this heap of shit.

The only 3 good thing to ever come to the game were Lee Sin release, Jhin release and Sion rework. Everything else right now is a fucking mess.

>People think HotS is more shallow than LoL
DotA has both games beat on depth, but no one should think HotS is more shallow than LoL with its fucking static lane set ups and homogenization based balance.

There are so many more options you have to make and depth in composition and counter-picking in HotS, the amount of stuff that happens in the competitive scene is great when you actually know how the fuck the game works. LoL tournaments are just silver league play done with more consistency, and they have been since season 2.

Blink dagger range is about a screen length, so that's the realistic limit on initiation.

There's many of them.
But just sitting back and afk farming will lose you the game against any semi-competent team, because they can exploit your absence.
Which means you need to provide value to your team, by split pushing and ganking.
This why I mentioned Anti-Mage and Morphling.
Both will basically be farming nonstop when the midgame hits, but at the same time they can split push basically risk-free, which means they have value even while farming.

Medusa's ult is basically "press R to win teamfight", she can't afford to afk farm.
A maxed Medusa might be able to kill everything short of a maxed out Anti-Mage, but she's still better off participating, because her pushing isn't great until she has 1-2 items, depending on your build and while she can fight off an entire team at that point, it's still not worth it.

buy smoke, gather your support friend with a stun or early-mid game carry, use the smoke, wander into their jungle or side lanes and murder someone

always ward somewhere in the enemy jungle, it gives a good idea of the flow of the game and makes your team more aggressive against those players by virtue of being able to see them

It changed a bit after the closed beta where they lumped the blue skinned meglings into the fuck-off yordles. Then they fired their lore team and nothing made sense anymore.

>Multiple mentions of champs from other worlds enitrely

They also promised to remove flash because people in the closed beta were saying it was too powerful. They then retracted all those statements and played ignorant.

I've been Medusa a lot lately to go against mid ints. 70%~ winrate below 5k. Always ban AM, ask for invoker/Nyx picks or bans from team.

Aquila/Phase/Orb of Venom>CASUAL YASHA(if you're not threatened by single target spells), Linkens if you are>Manta>Skadi/Mjol>MKB/Mjol(depending on your opponents)

I also like Lotus Orb in very situational games to help my idiots not die so much plus extra armor for me.

Don't be afraid to buy a ward for mid so your W can bounce to your opponent easier. Always carry a tp and start showing up to fights around level 11-12.

The thing is, it's ridiculously good disruption.
If Medusa drops an ult you have to stop looking at her or you die, if you're against a whole team. It's also a really strong slow if you don't get the stun.

The point is that it adds amazing value in any teamfight and with manashield you're not gonna die all that quickly either.

>>376440127
>Always ban AM, ask for invoker/Nyx picks or bans from team
Well, yeah.
Manaburn absolutely rapes you because it deals damage to both of your health pools.

Also, buy butterfly, chump.
On Medusa you basically stack survivability items until your opponent can't kill you.

I haven't played Medusa since Talents came out, but the attack speed talent is almost certain better than the evasion one, because it lets you farm faster.

The point of Butterfly is that it gives you everything you want, except Mana.
Armor, Damage, Attack Speed and +35% EHP against physical is huge.

>>
>>376440987
>>376440701
And what I forgot to mention about butterfly and evasion in general:
It forces a 5400 gold item and an item slot out of the opposing carry. Making them buy MKB isn't really a bad thing, because if they would buy crit, they will get MKB instead (which is objectively worse) and if they get crit anyway, they skip a survivabiliy item. And if they don't buy it, they're fucked.

Forcing your opponent to do something is never a bad thing.

Haven't played LoL in years. I think it peaked at season 2 and started going downhill quick seasons 3 and up.

Still play Dota on the regular though, and I've been making time for HotS, which has turned out to be surprisingly fun game. It's a casual game like LoL, but casual in the right way-- that matches are over relatively quickly and you rarely "feel" a loss like you do in Dota and LoL.

Nigga you are dumb as fuck. Firstly, only her illusions are the only ones attacking and illusions deal reduced (less) damge. And by that I mean like 33% of your base damage.

I do. There's a lot a satisfaction that comes from getting perfect kill setups, or saving your carry's ass from certain death, and being able to control and deny vision and other information to the enemy team. Not to mention if you're playing support you really don't need to worry about farm, so you're free to roam and fuck around wherever if your carry gets far enough ahead (which a good support can almost always ensure).

the problem with LoL is that 99% of what people clamor about it isn't even in the game

the "cute grills" have playstation 1 tier models with awful textures, the game as a whole looks washed out and trash in general, all builds boil down to "do AD damage, do AP damage or tank"

everyone hass free wards because people were literally not buying them and they made it a "mechanic" exactly like blink which is not a forced permanent spell otherwise your winrate plummets to 30% no matter what you do. It USED to be fun in season 1-2 when there was no "meta" and you went ashe mid and there was no dedicated "suck your cock" (translation= support) champion locked role

Right now it's the most controlled and the most bullshit "scripted" non-scripted video game in the fucking planet.
>>
>>376395568
As somebody whose dumped 2400 hours and almost $3000 USD. Yes I am on the spectrum into this game

Let. Me. Tell. YOU.

League, as a game, is VERY well put together. As far as any other moba on the market, Smite, Paradigm, DotA2, HoN, HoTS, etc. Goes, League is by far the most balanced.

The content is varied, that is to say, no two champions play exactly the same, which offers an unreasonable amount of variety in every game.

They never keep the competitive map stagnant for more than a year. Every season brings about new changes to the Rift, which is great for those who want some variety, but awful for those trying to learn the intricacies of the game

The competitive scene is by far the most evolved in Esports history, with legacy StarCraft being a close second. Riot struck gold with the Esports league.

Now, I'll be the first to admit, you don't pick this game up for competitive play unless you're
1) Korean
2) Really really REALLY fucking good.

This game draws in competition with their ranked system, and a lot of players become overwhelmed by the grind, and wonder why they never make diamond tier. It's not because you're not good, it's because the system is designed to make sure only the top X percent are climbing that high. If you're going to play, and you're not rainman levels of good, just play for fun.

The game is better with friends. This is undoubtedly true. If you have friends, your experience will be infinitely more enjoyable. There is no more toxic a community through all of the internet than there is on League of Legends. Culminated from a desire to achieve ranks they'll never hit, and having invested too much time to quit, the people take this shit as seriously as their occupations. I've seen friendships wrought over this game. At the same time, Solo Queue is just sadistic at this point, and you're begging for trouble.

No, /v/ doesn't like League of Legends. But I do.

garbage baby tier attempt to casualize a very high-level and high-skill ceiling game such as dota.

as it stands, theres no point in playing it. if you want to play a high-skill moba game, best to stick to dota 2.

if you are more casual, you might as well play heroes.

Unlike LoL you need more than a potato to run Dota 2, so by default this statement is a lie.

>Goes, League is by far the most balanced.
Yeah, that's why more than half the champion pool doesn't get picked or banned in Worlds
Because it's so balanced

I miss RTS these MOBAs are dog shit and the faggots who play then try to act superior while playing a dumbed down version of a genre.
If you play these you should be gassed.

the dota genre has very little in common with RTS, and even hero-based RTS.

>As far as any other moba on the market, Smite, Paradigm, DotA2, HoN, HoTS, etc. Goes, League is by far the most balanced.
LoL has microscopic pick and ban rates across professional events, meanwhile Dota 2 sees nearly 100%. That means a small slice of champions are dominating the game, which means it's not balanced.

>The content is varied, that is to say, no two champions play exactly the same, which offers an unreasonable amount of variety in every game.
Champions are cookie cutter as fuck and designed to plug into specific meta archetypes. In no game like this are anything "exactly the same" so that's a non-argument, but they're samier in LoL than any other game in the genre

>They never keep the competitive map stagnant for more than a year.
Huh, weird that the lane meta is STILL 1/1/2/jungle then!

>The competitive scene is by far the most evolved in Esports history, with legacy StarCraft being a close second. Riot struck gold with the Esports league.
Because Riot bullies the esports scene with their financial power and contracts their players to be unable to play any other competing games

LoL is great for half-serious play with friends, but as an actual competitive game it's designed like garbage and it's incredibly stagnant and shallow. It's built and designed around low/medium level play

>I miss RTS
There are still good RTS games to play though. Not many coming out anymore, but you still have things like SupCom, Impossible Creatures, Battle Realms, StarCraft, WarCraft, Sins of a Solar Empire, Homeworld series, Earth series, Command and Conquer, etc.

This
LoL/Dota/etc are share far more with top-down action RPGs than RTS
>>
>>376452358
yeah
they share the control scheme and the style of UI, but not much else
>>
I wasted 2000 hours on that digital piece of bubblegum. It was worse than wasting time. It made me angry and obsessive every day. I hated it and yet I kept coming back. I was like one of those battered, unhappy wives who kept going back for more, even though it was apparent to every rational person, there was nothing more to be had.

Can't wait to get my new PC and get back to Dota

>j-just buy bkb!

yeah

lets just rush BKB on a carry and do zero damage right?

christ fuck off.

>>376448630
so what if hes shit? hes still godawful to play against.

I dont think you understand what im saying. Im saying a gamer where heroes taking you out without giving a single iota of a second to fight back is NOT good character nor game design.

b-b-but hes weak! doesnt matter when pieces of shit like Shadow Shaman can literally crowd control you ad-finem. In league the longest ingame stun only last 3.5 seconds and it relys on a skillshot being shot halfway across the map

If Dota is Chess then LoL is Quake . Id play fast paced mechanic intensive spell slinging over that tedious sluggish game anyway
