It's an unbalanced mess, most of the champs aren't even used. Play Hots if you want fast paced games with lots of team fighting, DotA if you want something deeper where the items you buy are more than stat sticks. There is no reason to play league when DotA is just a better version of it.

This is actually really out of date. Runes are going to be free in a few months, and until then they cost like 10 IP or something around there, and the IP you sink into them now will be refunded when the new runes release.

Also there's periodic crates that have either champions or skins in them, so you get an occasional boost to your champ pool.

The upcoming changes to the new player experience look fairly promising in relieving some (not all) of the grind.

Still, make no mistake, it will take you a long time to unlock ALL of the champions.

>>390068273
Ill agree with that and throw in all of bronze, silver and gold.
What about diamond or plat? Would they be worth listening to?
>>
>>390072821
LoL can't have a great amount of depth so long as the full champion roster is blocked by a grind/pay wall.

You can't have hard counters in LoL because it puts people without the certain champs at a severe disadvantage. The end result is that most champions are more or less the same. Name ONE melee champion that doesn't have a gap closing ability. That's not to say there isn't uniqueness, it's just that the champion roster is much more homogenous than DotA's.

Also why the fuck did they hire the guy who ruined WoW's pvp scene to balance their game?
>>
>>390073370
There's actually a whole subset of melee champions without gapclosers in League (Yorick, Morde, Nasus, Volibear, Trundle to name 5 off the top of my head). And I don't necessarily disagree with ghostcrawler on that sentiment. I think player skill should matter more than draft.

That isn't to say League doesn't have its share of flaws or that you're retarded for not liking it; in fact I'm not really all that interested in defending LoL. I just mostly wanted to point out to OP that a lot of the new player pains specifically are in the process of being addressed with some systems already released, so now is probably the least painful time to try it.

If dota can be described as this, then every game where you control a single character could be described as this.
>>
>>390081531
This would be a valid argument if Dota actually changed any of the basic mechanics like some other Warcraft 3 maps did. It does not, instead it just removed everything unrelated to hero units.

>>390082026
Every single game involves controlling a single character directly ripped from an existing game?
>>
>>390082059
All the heroes are different, the way items work and are acquired is different, and the core gameplay built up around that is different (team arena arpg instead of rts). It's an entirely different and incomparable game. You're an idiot.

>>390082169
>directly ripped from an existing game
So not dota?
>>
>>390082026
It applies to Dota because Dota uses the hero template of a dude that walks around with a few abilities. FPSs, fighting games, platformers every other genre where you just control one unit offers much more in-depth control of that "unit", and the abilities of the "units" themselves are much more complex.

Dota 2 has wider ability variety and a few other complexities I like, but the amount of randomness and other bullshit just make it way less enjoyable.

>League = faster, has safety nets, follows a formula most of the time
yeah, no, league is not faster, if anything it's slower - i've watched a fair deal of league matches(and by that i mean i had to sit and not pay attention to the screen) and league is painfully slow, every game is long just drags out so badly. i'll agree on formula, but if you mean the 1-1-1-2 meta, it's actualyl really bad
>Dota = slower, more complex, a single mistake can cause you the game
dota isn't slower, it's pretty dynamic, ganks can happen even before the game starts, there are characters that aare gankers/roamers and sometimes nothing else, and a single mistake can only cost you the game in like 60 minutes in with 6-slotted carries and 90 seconds of death time with no buybacks

There's the keyword. Maybe nine years ago, yeah, but not anymore. That has no relevancy to anything.

> And the other units are all just units from WC3? And the towers and creeps and buildings are all just towers and creeps and buildings from WC3? And the items and skills and mechanics are all items and skills and mechanics from WC3?
All completely false. Nearly all of dota's current content is built fresh from the ground up, and the stuff that's from WC3 (town portal scrolls, items that grant a single stat, etc) are such basic concepts and affect the different gameplay so differently the tie may as well not even be there.

Because that's not all you're doing. It's a resource game, it's the same reason RTSs do it except here there's actually more enemy interaction.

Probably Anti Mage.

Brood mother is good at it early, you can solo destroy your lane, get a ton of early push, but if your team doesn't take advantage of all the space you make it doesn't always pay off.

Go play Gigantic instead. It's got a lot of MOBA elements, but you at least have to learn to aim with your character more to get the most out of it.

That's right. The game is over by the 10 min. mark.
>>
>>390088246
That's cool.
Now how do you actually address the issue? You can do that right?
>>
>>390088462
Turn rates actually balance the game so the only viable carries aren't just Ranged ADC's.
>>
>>390088578
And also makes the game much slower.
>>
>>390088462
Next to dota's shorter lane phase, higher roaming, far higher early/midgame damage, and higher average killcounts, turn rates really don't make the game slower than LoL. Turn rates also make melee hero design possible without having to rely on excessive mobility and/or tankiness because turn rates keep ranged heroes from kiting you to hell and back so easily.
>>
>>390066675
Tons of porn.
>>
>>390088623
No. >>390088638
>>
>>390088623
I don't understand how dota can be slower when nothing happens in a League game. Last time I watched league, pro games would get like 7 kills total in a 50 minute game. The movement may be faster, but the gameplay and decision making and rate that things actually occur is much faster.
>>
>>390088789
>I don't understand how the game literally

>>
>>390088638
More complicated doesn't mean better

And if dota was really better overall, it would be more popular
>>
>>390088623
It doesn't matter. If you play Dota and go to League you'll feel much faster, if you play League and go to Dota you will feel like you have input delay but eventually will get used to it. At the end both are different games so it barely matters. There are many different pros and cons for it, a huge pro for League is that you can get to see the crazy jukes some pro players like Faker can do.
>>
>>390089009
>putting delays on your ability to move
A fundamental misunderstanding on what a turn rate is.
>>
LoL
>5/9 average kills per match
>Match is typically over in 10 minutes.
>Statistics actually prove that a 10% gold difference in 10 minute mark = Game over.
>Somehow, matches still last 30 minutes
>With only 6-9 kills on average.

DoTA
>Ganks are common place at the negative mark.
>You can snowball but just as well win back the game if you are losing
>Game ends with a lot of kills and team fights

The reason why LoL is inferior are evident: For a supposedly faster game that ends in 10 minutes, it has surprizingly little things going on. Nothing happens outside of killing NPCs for 30 straight minutes - Where's the MOBA or PvP in this?

>>390088789
you're absolutely right!

This game is actually really fun with friends, especially when you use discord.
Im talking about real friends though, as in people you know personally in real life.

Solo queue is a nightmare, how can anybody enjoy that shit?
>>
>>390089345
So dota is an unrefined mess where nobody knows what they're doing or how to play and RNG just decides everything?

And who gives a shit how often fights happen if they're so slow and clunky with almost everything being point and click? That's like saying you'd rather play 5 rounds of the original street fighter where both players have 5 seconds of lag over 3 rounds of third strike with a perfect connection.

Also love the way you cherrypick (and still also lie) only about pro league matches.

Friend, anyone with a ranking past middle diamond can tell you those statistics are true. They just aren't true for the braindead mouthbreathers who can't capitalize on advantages (like you).

Also funny that you accuse me of lieing when all you say about DoTA is nothing but mis-representations and shit-talk that reveals you've never so much as installed the game or played it competently at all!

TL/DR: You're a 16/18 y.o. shitter undergoing heavy cognitive dissonance.

You can dispute statistical claims when you present your own statistical evidence.

Every Pro-player can attest to these statistics. Something you'd know if only you were around to play LoL 3 years ago. Clearly you weren't which makes you an underage faggot.

Yes you've said they exist, I'd like to actually see them instead of just hearing second hand accounts of them from a biased person.

I mean, you have actually seen and verified these stats right? You didn't just hear some other people on the internet who also hate league say them and blindly believe them because you wanted any excuse to insult the game right? You're not just going to say "they exist look them up yourself" over and over as an excuse to not admit you've never seen them and they're just based on your biased hatred right?

You literally just said only "brain dead " league games don't have low kill counts.

Yet you also brag that dota always has crazy high constant kills. Therefore dota players are all braindead, no gymnastics involved I'm literally just listing things you've said.
>>
>>390093270
Because LoL's design makes it WAY too fucking easy to stay alive. Mobility skills everywhere, free wards, flash, lower overall burst and CC, etc. That's why you only see high kill counts in low-skill LoL games, that's what whoever said "braindead games" was referring to. Meanwhile Dota doesn't protect the player anywhere near as much, so even in high level play the game is a lot more explosive and unpredictable so there are higher kill counts.

"I'm not actually informed on both cases so that means thing A magically behaves the same in this environment as it does in that environment" is mental gymnastics.
Fucking retard.

>>390066675

>>
>>390094194

That's one way to interpret it.

And another way is to see it as an unrefined mess where people just run at the other guys over and over and don't know what they're doing, don't know how to strategically use a lead to press their advantage for a win which makes games constantly change on a dime (literally, as in a coinflip, as in RNG) and ultimately leads to an inconsistent clown show. Now if you're a gambling addict (you know, valves main demographic) and care exclusively about being surprised and not knowing what's going to happen, then that's a perfectly fine thing to enjoy. Some people just like skill and practice to actually matter and be rewarded, that's all. Different strokes.

Wut. You'd have to be:

b. Building everything but Righteous Glory
c. Not running Ghost and MS quints
d. Picking Olaf into a kiting comp knowing you are going to get kited. Well no shit.

Also Alistar, Fiddlesticks and Sion counting as dashes? Those abilities are pretty specific at what their use is. You can't really compare Pantheon or Maokai's gap close to something like Leblanc's W, their use is vastly different, and most of them are easy to cancel if they run or if they engage like Sejuani, Gragas and Sion so if anything this adds depth

Tournament play is not reflective of pub matches. Not in League, DotA, Overwatch, Paladins, or any other game you can think of.

I fucking hate when people talk about games through a tournament spectator's point of view.
