League in its current state is not fun.

Riot has no item diversity. You go the same build if ur a adc tank ap etc.. theres no change. The meta is basically spoon-fed by the balance team rather than the community having options. Half of the champions are worthless while the other half are OP You cannot recieve a refund/trade skins like on steam** because riot wants all the profit Champs/runes have to be bought or unlocked with in-game currency which is stupid imo.

Also league has the stupidst counterplay for invis heroes. They give you the exclaimation warning which is just un needed... like they should remove that and create a item like gem of true sight and give some diversity rather than just making a exclaimation above some ones head lol.....

Well honestly, if every hero in Dota is broken, what fun is that for the people playing? More experienced people can just "ace" the other team in 2 seconds while new players would not know what to do without researching and playing a Moba such as League of Legends prior to it.

Why is it stupid to have to use in-game currency to buy runes? You want people to be able to shell out cash just to give themselves full pages of tier 3 runes? At least people have to work for it.

If you want to play a game with variety and that takes skill then play dota

I haven't played Dota nor do I intend on it, but my friend who plays it says that every single hero is broken so that sounds very balanced.

Skarner is supposed to build AD for some reason, so lets go break the meta.

Man, the people defending this rune system make me simultaneously laugh and weep at the state of humanity.

News flash, that classic grind you guys adore so much is dead and gone, replaced by greed. Old RPG games used grinding to pad the gameplay so you didn't feel like you wasted a months worth of allowance to get that game, it was a more consumer focused thing. Nowadays you have the grind used to bilk people out of a lot more money than any video game should cost (remember that kid who spent thousands of dollars on some shit freemium game?). This grind is specifically calculated to browbeat weak minded fools into coughing up tons of money.

Oh sure, you can't buy runes with money, but guess what you can buy with money? Champions, which saves your IP for the hellaciously overpriced hexagons. IP boosts to double the speed at which you can get the shit. Rune pages which you need to put the things in. Riot claims this isn't pay to win, but that's a blatant lie. Until you've played about 5000 games or so and can get enough IP to get on the same level as people who bought the boosts, and the champs, allowing them more options to counter you before the match even starts, you're behind in many respects.

Why do you think they reworked the early runes but didn't touch the tier 3 ones? To give the impression that there's a fair currency system, look at all these shitty runes I can get from one match worth of IP! Then you get to tier 3 and oh shit I'll have to grind an entire month to get a decent page together, how competitive! Why do you think they removed the rune combiner? Now that tier one and two are dirt cheap, they'd lose their ass if they allowed people to combine those up to tier 3, and we can't have anything making the tedious rune grind easier, so that goes out with the trash.

The thing that should encourage continued play is having an actual decent game, a game where the players want to play by choice, and not a game that just hypnotizes its players with a shitty Skinner box model. Of course, riot can't actually do good balance because they have an unshakable iron man boner for Lee Sin and the rest of the big plays brigade, so of course they'll have to resort to smoke and mirrors to keep players interested.

It's useless OP, i myself am a rotten stubborn Dota player with a lover for the game beyond understanding, but my words are too harsh, my arguements too shit, and every person who plays league calls DoTA unbalanced if they hadn't played the game. But they don't understand that just because 50% of the champions are underpowered and nerfed to shit in league, does not make it more balanced than EVERY hero being overpowered in dota. The fact people say they get one-shot by anything that moves clarifies they don't understand certain complexities. I get 2 shot in league having built full tank but some random attack damage bruiser builds 25% armor pen or a black cleaver and all that stacking gone to uselessness, the term tank barely exists in this game worth understanding for me. More players only gives this game more right to be ignorant, and sadly I say to those of you league players who did play dota, and know how it works. Why can't you see it's more balanced than this is?

What do you mean half the champions are worthless, tell me ONE champion that is worthless.

Riot wants to turn LoL into a TV show.

And it worked. The game is not fun at this point for 85% of the champions in the game.

You go the same build if ur a adc tank ap etc..

Unless you're a support and then there are different items to build every game :)
