Long ago the MOBAs lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the LoL preseason attacked. Only Rito, master of MOBAs could stop it. But when the players needed him most, he vanished. 100 hours passed and my friends and I discovered a new MOBA, a game name DoTA 2. And although the gameplay was great, it still has a lot to learn before its ready to save any player. But I believe, DoTA 2 can save us all.
grumpyfrogy5 votesI'm currently on the smite train
Catastrop4 votes+1, although for me it's SMITE.
doombotMECHA1 votesSmite is actually a really impressive game, not as many out-there gameplay concepts as lol but definitely a great business model and a lot of love for other game modes
PDE5 Inhibitors3 votesDoTA's shop is just...
I consider myself a smart person, but that shop made me feel dumb as fuck and I had no clue what to buy.
GrReaper962 votesIkr and people call Riot bloodthirsty for having the most profit
PDE5 Inhibitors1 votesI was talking about the in game item buying shop lol. I don't spend money on these games lol.
GrReaper961 votesOoh lol sry my bad XD meh you'll get used to it after like 10 games or so
PDE5 Inhibitors1 votesI played 2 games, there will be no 3rd lol.
GrReaper961 voteslol yeah unlike LoL i had to play bot A LOT to get a hold of the basics. Not very user friendly besides making all champs free.

RisenDarkKnight3 votesI actually considered switching to DOTA, but there are just so many things I hate about it compared to league that I couldn't (high mana costs, low availability of mana regen, even more snowbally, gold loss on death, tons of stealth heroes, extremely long range cc abilities, extremely powerful items, way more dependent on csing/denying, no recall, and runes (that they are random and really impactful (double damage !)).
doombotMECHA1 votesyeah in dota mana you spend is Gone Forever. even bottle doesn't help as much b/c there's no recall/teleport, there's just this damn courier that goes 3x slower when carrying an empty bottle that ur whole team has to share.
Weathered3 votesWhy does no one understand. The preseason is supposed to be a jumbled mess of testing. Nothing is final, its not broken. If you dont like it, wait like a week while they fix it. People are way to quick to act. Riot released the preseason? This must be what the season will be. There will obviously be no fixes. Let's start an uprising!
Chaotic Reks1 votesno, that's what the PBE is supposed to be. Preseason is supposed to be fucked up, but not like this...
Keevalroy2 votesDoTA is too weird for me, but I do have over 50 hours into Blood Bowl 2 so far. I'm raging significantly less in a game dependent on dice rolls where your players can potentially die forever every time you get a bad roll than I am playing League. That's the point I've reached.
junglerboy161 votesMeh, it's a flavor thing imo. DotA requires you to know a lot more before you can even consider playing with real people, but once you get into it, the gameplay is excellent (although noticeably different from league).
Personally, I'd say play whichever you find more enjoyable and leave it at that.
doombotMECHA1 votesI want to like dota, but...
rtbf326335031 votesI enjoy DOTA 2 a lot, but also enjoy league. While I have spent more hours on league, I tend to get frustrated with league more, then pre season hit. At least Dota gives you cool abilities before I r@pes you.
The way I've seen it, Dota 2 is less newer player friendly and less for people with short attention spans. You got to put the time into learning it, once you do it become a lot more enjoyable. I've met a lot of nice people in there and even the assholes.
The abilities are what riot won't try/used to do. Remember jax dodging towers, TF Tele on basic ability? Tons of abilities feel powerful or crazy for basic abilities.
Then you have the awesome skins, buy them in the market place for cheap, mix and match them together.
The interactions are bloody amazing. Heroes talking to each other randomly, rivals calling each other bitch. "I'm like a bad meal, ya can't keep me down" after respawning.
I still play league more due to friends and time/money invested, but for some reason when league has op characters the game gets frustrating. I think its because league characters own because of pure stats or overloaded kits whereas in dota it's because they got ahead. Though dota isn't exempt from op characters. Its just their balance team is by far better then Riots, due to how different the games go about themselves.
Didn't mention league because we're on a league forums and we know why we love the game, in all its good and bad moments.
Transgressor1 votesI still play league more due to friends and time/money invested,
This right here, if I hadn't bought so much shit on skins I'd have quitted this fucking game long ago and gotten my friends to play something else, like when I brought them to play Tera with me.
Transgressor1 votesSmite is where it's at.
You might find DotA 2's gameplay better, but Valve is pretty much just as cancerous as RIOT in the exact same departements: Player Communication and Player Support.
Hi-Rez on the other hand is top notch.
Who am I kidding, let's just all go play VainGlory, KappaRoss.

I'd go and play VainGlory if I had an iPad. Just because I'm familiar with one of the Evil Mega Corp employees.
AntiSkillshot1 votesTried DotA 2. Didn't catch on. Got too boring for me. DotA 2 is proaction, League is reaction.
Why do I said that? DotA 2 has CC that lasts much longer than CC you'll find in League. Though, I will say I did like the fact that DotA 2 is more focused on counter-building over counter-picking. Though, this season feels like League will be going back to some form of counter-building over counter-picking... only if Riot actually made tank items good again... You also have that I felt like I wasn't progressing, as everything is unlocked from the get go. Same with Smite on that accord. Got the God-pack, felt like I wasn't progressing after that.
insaiyanbacca1 votesim still sticking to league tbh, though i may pick up destiny or warframe again as a second game

When was the last time you played Warframe?
insaiyanbacca1 votesa couple moths ago

A couple moths ago. K...
Anyways, I'm sure you left before parkour 2.0 came out.
Transgressor1 votesI gave my Opticor nicknames based on the color scheme: Optimus's dick, Caramel deathstick, Handheld Deathstar.
Personal opinion: Mag Prime needs some more artistic value in her model, she's ridiculously plain for a prime Frame.

Excal Prime is far worst than Mag Prime when it comes to "plainness".
