Just dropping inside if anyone plays league in either the LAS or the LAN server we could play together anytime c:
Drop me a message or whatevs!
 
Dota always confused me lol. Maybe I just wasn't trying to understand it :P

Dota takes a long time to understand because each hero varies so much in design that interactions between different heroes are vastly different. You can't generalise matchups like you can in League. Add the fact that items have such high utility value, and you have a very dynamic game that basically takes a lot of game experience to fully understand.

Many league players who try Dota invariably ask a load of general questions like
Hi, I'm a new player and I have the impression bruiser are just too good against range hero. During the laning I try to abuse of my harass and gain an advantage, but later in the game they jump on me and I can't win close combat. Most of them have a dash and some cool kid buy the flash dagger. How I protect myselft? Do I need a support for cc and what I do if nobody in my team is a support? Which Item I should buy?
To which the answer is aways "it depends".

In league, pretty much every single melee bruiser has some sort of gap closer, steroid, and cc, so you can apply pretty much the same kind of thinking vs every melee bruiser.

The more experience I get in Dota, the more I look at league and wonder, why am I playing this? Of course I still play it though, because it's a lot easier and less stressful than Dota, but yeah, Dota is quite fun.
 
Team builder is amazing!! For anyone who hasn't tried it on league yet I suggest you do ASAP, as it's only on for today and tomorrow!! It totally brightens the atmosphere and games are so much more fun :)
 
And I dunno why for me Dota is easier than League or I'm just used to this game than LoL...
 
One of the bigger barriers to learning League is you can't just try out any champion you like. Sure you can read about them, but seeing things in a practical format ingame is far superior to seeing it on paper. Not to mention the ******** pseudo-pay2win idea where I'm actually at a disadvantage compared to someone higher summoner level than me because they have more masteries and better runes.

u dont pay real money
 
I know but if you have to grind to get things that affect gameplay, then it's still not good.

Runes are only buyable with IP which is only obtainable through playing matches. Masteries cost nothing and are fully unlocked at level 30, which doesn't take that long to reach.
 
Well LoL is imbalance unlike dota 2 (well its obvious uhhh right?) I'm sticking to Dota.

And even if you couldn't buy boosts, the idea that a player who has played the game longer has a straight power stat advantage is still annoying.

I'll always like League more from the gameplay and graphical standpoint, but there is no doubt that Dota's F2P model is simply objectively superior. It's just a fact. So I'm glad that Dota 2 exists for this reason. Maybe if it starts to pass League, Riot will do something about it. At least there's competent competition now.
 
Oh god a game with a NA player, a SEA player and an Oceanic player, nice pings gg

Hahaha that is the problem lol. Karla is pro at dota because he is Chinese ;)
SEA- around 69ms to 119ms
US- around 130ms-170ms
Aus- around 140ms - 190ms
China- haven't tried but my friend said around 200ms-400ms something like that.
