LoL has problems, but it definitely succeeds in one thing.

I have played dota 2 for a good 2 years until some friends of mine recommended league back in 2015. I instantly dropped dota 2 for this game for just because of it didnt have turn rate. Like seriously, playing a character in dota 2 is like playing a character in a wheel chair that can shoot out fire balls, swing sword or deal out cc. God forbid you ever get creep blocked in that game. In league of legends it just has a bit more mobility and doesnt deliver that feeling like my pc is about lagging so hard. Despite the hard snowball effect in LoL it's still a lot more fun playing than dota 2.

True, balance and stuff might suck since S6, but the core remains brilliant. Animations feel great, vfx and sfx deliver, combos and orbwalking are smooth like nothing, it just feels very well rounded and statisfying and asides from some nasty minionblocking, you have total controll over your character. Dota on the other hand feels like playing LoL with a 500+ ping...

But really tho, it's also because of the lack of turn speed in LoL that the balance between melee and ranged has always been broken in this game.

Maybe not turn speed, but we need something that act as the major balance pillar between melee and ranged champions tbh.

I'd say dota also has the worse snowballing, what with how you lose gold when you die

This is the main reason I will NEVER choose Dota over League. Can you imagine having feeders on your team? You'd never win.

Turn speed is, by far, the worst part of DotA IMO. It's like your character is walking through knee deep mud.

DotA two has superior itemization and mechanics, but like you said, it's slow as fuck in places. The stats are also a bit wonky in what they do. Like for instance, Intelligence Heroes. When you purchase gear with INT stats, the damage of your spells doesn't go up, but your auto attack damage does... the fuck?
