The lol player sighed and turned the other cheek.

It took the dota player a few weeks due to turn rates.

i dont understand this but ill laugh anyways

In DOTA, they have a mechanic called Turn Rates. It does exactly what you think: It's the time a hero takes to turn around. (I believe it's calculated in seconds so a hero with a 0.5 turn rate will turn around in 0.5 seconds.) League has no such mechanic, meaning that everyone can turn around instantly.

Jokes aside, it's a balancing mechanic that most either love (as it makes melee quite viable and eliminates perma-kiting) or hate (as it will often feel clunky and like you're not in total control of your character.)

ah, thank you

I find it horrible, but mostly because i come from warcraft 3 and makes me feel reminescent of that game, which i find great btw, so the "clunky hacky mod" feel urges up.

Not that i find it that useful aniway, both sides have plus and cons and additionally turn rates feel horrible control-wise. But that is just a personal biased opinion.

An excellent example of turn rates at work. https://youtu.be/jfQTO7XKAX0?t=2m59s

Batrider has an ability that slows turn rates pretty drastically, and if he can get directly on top of someone he can use it to kite them in place like that.

When the LoL player pulled a dagger on the DoTA player, they only blinked.

You told the joke wrong.

"A dota player overheard someone in a bar say 'I play League'. They turned to say 'Dota 2 is better', but by the time they finished turning the league player had finished their drinks and left."

SMITE is going to die when Paragon is fully released.

I feel like Paragon looks a little too pretty. One of the biggest appeals of traditional MOBA's like League and Dota is the very low system requirements, and it seems like the combination of 3rd person cam and Unreal Engine make the game impossible to run smooth on slower setups.

I have a medium-low end PC, and I run Paragon at 60 FPS on, at least, medium settings. If someone's got problems with running Paragon at even the lowest settings, it's probably time for a new PC...

you can't deny creeps in league

i have to admit this shit made me laugh

you can, but you have to fight your opponent to do so, not out-pve him

Benesmash2 votes

what?

You can't be serious... hahahaha. I don't know if you've ever played dota 2, but the lanes are just as competitive, but add in being able to deny your opponents creep score and xp gain while youre at it.

Which of course just leads to non interactive 3v1 farm lanes since it lets them force the lane flow backwards by denying the minions.

Ahristocats1 votes

that's because offlaner are overpowered in early game

Benesmash1 votes

Not it doesn't... I honestly don't think you've ever played dota 2. Honestly, I prefer league AT THE MOMENT, but dota 2 is way more competitive as far as game play and strategy goes. If you're good at denying and getting cs then you dominate the lane. The lanes never get stale or become a farm fest.

Sounds like you're the one who's never played higher level DOTA 2.

So you're 5k mmr and don't see tri lane flexing? Which only works because you can counter push your own lane using creep denial mechanics?

Yea you're either lying or to stupid to understand your own metagame. Congrats either way.

Benesmash1 votes

Ok, so they do a tri-lane. You are already denying experience for the person you are carrying, yeah, you CAN get extra kills because of it, but so what? Either you counter tri-lane or you punish the other lanes because of it. Also, constant ganks from mid helps A LOT. Speaking of tri-lane, you counter push your own lane into your tower which makes it harder for your carry to get cs. I don't think you really understand how it works.

You're making more of an issue about something that isn't really seen that often. That's the exception, not the rule.

It's not about getting kills in a passive tri-lane. It's about completely zoning the opposing laner even from EXP range, while using denial mechanics to prevent the lane from ever pushing even remotely forward, creating a perma freeze near your tower. Not sure exactly why you're thinking I'm talking about an aggressive tri lane.

Again the fact that you don't 'see it that often' reaffirms that whole "high level" comment I made earlier. If you don't understand how a team completely zoning one of your lanes from gold and exp intake is a problem I'm not sure what to tell ya. Same principal happens in league. It's called freezing. Difference is in DOTA you can perma lock the wave near your own tower using denial mechanics, and prevent the common tools players use in league to break a freeze in league from working.

Benesmash1 votes

Do you have any idea how hard it is to freeze a lane? Even with my MMR I RARELY, almost NEVER, see a complete freezing. You have this "theory" of how unfair it is, but it doesn't happen. ever. ever. ever. Not even in pro games.

In my 13 years of playing dota i've maybe seen 1 or 2 successful freezing in a tri-lane.

Even with my MMR

Ding ding ding. I think we found the problem.

haha, as if 5k mmr is low. Whatever, I don't think you've ever played dota at a high level and you're ignorant to how it works. I SAID GOOD DAY.

You can deny creeps doe, just kill the enemy laner.

Actually, intelligence increases spell damage now. Not much, but it does do some.

More seriously, have you seen Obese Denominator* at work? Guy does crazy int-based damage. And he takes your int too so you can't cast anything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhDZ149XnvI

You clearly don't timbersaw(Put it this way, timbersaw is the most aggressive 1v3 laner. That means exactly what you think it means). Most hard-laners have some kind of long-range (often extremely hard to deny no less) farm ability, and most of them care more about levels anyway.

Besides, the #4 roams and the #5 wards, so it's not a permanent 3v1.

*Dota Injoke. Outworld Devourer has gone through a lot of names, from Obsidian Destroyer to Obsidian Demolisher to Outworld Destroyer. It's basically a meme.

Yeah I heard, in fact I made this joke purely because I just heard of spell damage increases and I just reinstalled DoTA 2 as they're now fixing the many problems that made me hate the game

Meep Man1 votes

Yeah they have added some mechanics present in LoL that weren't previously in the game, such as CDR, Spell Vamp (the ol' switcheroo), and scaling Ability damage.
