League is Falling behind Dota

Pistachio·Aug 30, 2015·3 votes·1,146 views

To the people behind the League of Legends, you're falling behind. You will always be compared to Dota so if you don't get your stuff together and start adding things the fans want then what's the point in having a successful game. You have to even out the playing field before you can truly be ahead. Would sandbox really ruin League of Legends? Are announcer packs such a bad thing? You should focus on us before you get all worked up about a new champion, soundtrack, rework, patch, skin, game mode, etc...

lol dota 2 is dead i actually wanted to see what dota 2 was since lotsa people talk about it but

1 it has no tutorial 2 vague map 3 horrible graphics that cost immense processing 4 breakable objects O.o its pointless.... 5 a donkey that brings you items o.O im glad we have recall ^^ 6 vague champions skills/item builds @.@ honestly i had no idea what i was doing and i was still getting kills.... 7 low player base

the only downsites to LoL are 1 zero communication with community 2 unbalanced champions 3 nonsense automated systems 4 overpowered items

1.There is a tutorial, most ppl find is better than LoL's. Also, bots are much smarter and better to practice against.

2.The maps are based off of each other...what is vague about it?

4.Breaking trees gives you different juke and gank spots, far more interesting that standing in tall grass like pokemon.

5.Courier (doesn't have to be a donkey model) keeps you in lane longer, recall still means you have to walk 1 way back. Also dota has TP scrolls at 100gp that can take you to any ally structure.

6.would be less vague if you actually played the game. the skills and item builds are for counter building the other team, unlike LOL where ever adc build the same few items in the same order.

7.12million players, sure its not the 60-70million riot has, but its enough to get a game in a reasonable amount of time.

1 the dota 2 tutorial is horrible.... you start with a champ that yells something offensive (something with allah) the tutorial itself is like its own game mode O.o 0 map vision path follow and vague creep spawns O.o you don't get all items exampled and i forgot whether they actually explain the donkey O.o and they fail to explain champion purpose or laning XD

2 dota map is bigger more tedious and above all NO B NO recall .o. the map is plain 0 color and vague..... and broken mobility, every champ can tp to any allied structure by just purchasing a tp scroll -.-

3 no comment ^^

4 cuz breaking trees is badass .o. -.- this also allows the opponent to flank you from that position.... genius tactics -.- all it does is add pressure to both teams O.o cuz now BOTH teams need to watch more than 3 lanes -.-

5 yeah cuz face it, it brings out more strategy to naturally destroy a champions sustain by a donkey courier .o. at least LoL puts pressure if you can't sustain and fail in lane . in dota 2 , error means nothing .o. you can fail all you want, but they still flame you for that O.o

6 building in dota is pointless even without build you can own O.o counter build O.o so you say everyone counter builds? what if they re counter build you? do you re re counter build again O.o ¿?

lel dota 2 for all your counter build matches! its endless! we promise V.V

im sorry but its one of the most horrible mobas i have ever played :/

10ish towns are playing dota 2 across the world . most towns hold 100.000 inhabitants O.O 600-700ish towns across the world are playing LoL o.o

i'm not defending LoL but its still nr 1 moba O.o

i do agree with you about the crit build i already suggested that riot should get crit items to be restricted to adc O.O also i suggested that jungle items be restricted to junglers ^^

i did play the game, a full match.... it took way too long to get a match and on top of that i had massive processing issues :/ like most new mobas .-. its so unnecessary, they use the wrong process engine @.@ and their pride is in the way of quality its spiteful :(
