So because DOTA 2 has more mechanics, it means it's more strategic?
Cool
ok cool

yeah, its how you apply them alone and with a team and how you avoid being applied to you and to your team
While SC is basically positioning and buffing units with simple off and def upgrades with a few useful abilities from the list
>>382646248
Compare that to chess. What a joke chess is. Clearly the smart people would choose Dota2
I'm playing sc2 and my opponent opens with gas, what does that mean?
>>382646498
my queen has lifesteal while your bishop can take more damage due to his high hp
yup, the meta of chess is trash
>>382646559
That he's going toBRRRRRRRAPPPPP
>>382646498
chess is all about positioning but that gets stale because nothing else changes.
dota has lots of positioning based on the mechanics it has.
Just because RTS is more organized into 3 races that doesnt mean it has more depth.
>>382646559
I'm playing dota2 and juggernaut is going for Diffusal Blade against a team of spell casters.
What does that mean?
>>382646248
this post gave me autism

Reminder we are still stuck in the worst patch ever
Wut? RTS games also have all of those on top of more mechanics to look after.

The talents are getting better though. Removing respawn timers was the best decision icefraud made this year. Other than your pic related talent choices, this patch has been one of the most fun ones in years. Playing support has never been this fun.
SC = Quake - fast, no depth
DotA = CS - slow, much depth

Not to mention previously you often and 1 or 2 players at level 25 and now it feels like every second game your team reaches 25. Also because of the talents it feels like a race to the top as the lvl 25 talents are often quite impactful. Previously it was dimishing returns after lvl 16. I wouldn't mind bumping the last level of ult to 18, but the talents need to go.

>only 2-3 heroes make use of day/night cycle
This game seriously good as tutorials to attract people but knowing Valve they will just leave it to the "community" to make them.
I can't enjoy dota2 anymore because i get punished even harder when i left the game because i have a life emergency. Matchmaking is still full of thirdworlder that make communication and teamworking a fucking nightmare.
I enjoy my time in LoL more in dota2. Although i still follow dota2 competitive scene.Liquid will win TI and Kuroky will always be right. I hope NP crash and burn so i can anime shitpost on the general
