I'd love to try DOTA but I can't seem to find any matches, does it just take a long time or is something wrong with my steam?
I don't always play Ziggs in Aram, but when I do, my name becomes Jesus god.
Old picture, but I'm still Jesus god Ziggs.
Every day.
All day.
Haha nice, quite a complement, normally people would be saying "wow such a noob champ bg report111".
Neriifur
I don't like TBT
Lol yeah, well he is pretty cheap on ARAM. I love it when I get him, because I always know that there's a very high chance we're going to win. He's basically like the equivalent of having 2 other teammates on your team.
I noticed a lot of people don't cry in ARAM though.. or at least they haven't lately.
Oh wait I just remembered I mute everyone who has an attitude, even if it's one word. People who do cry in ARAM though are hilarious, considering that there's absolutely no reason to take the mode serious, because the team comp the game generates for you is going to be your winning determining factor.
ARAM is pretty fun. Great for farming IP and you don't need to take anything too serious.

Ive been playing Dota 2 for 2 and half years now and its the anti-intuitive version of league of legends. Thats how casual games get so many more players to play because casual gamers love intuitive games and don't like playing games that have a steep learning curve while also being illogical in a way. It goes the same for yugioh and magic the gathering. Rules in yugioh feel right where the rules in magic utilize the stack and seem backwards resulting in not making sense.
I've heard these reasons why LoL players don't play Dota (who played first )
1). I don't like that all the heroes are unlocked at first (I like to unlock heroes as I go on because it makes me feel I'm progressing)
2). The game feels sluggish and like I'm moving a tank
3). Its archaic and I think the denying feature is unnecessary
4). My computer can't run it
Now I'll answer those questions.
1).All the heroes are unlocked in dota2 cause the game isn't like super smash brothers. You don't pick your favorite hero and do well. When you get to higher level dota, even in pubby all pick matches you need to have a hero empathy and know what situation heroes need .They need to be nurtured to shine in the game or played severely early to shine. Its a strat game that needs to have a good understanding about the heroes before you play. So getting to know them all is severely daunting and tedious to look at
2).The game feels sluggish cause its actually 3-D models moved into a 2.5 isometric world. There are cast animations and speed of which spells and items are used. This also goes into the hero empathy I was talking about in the first point. Part of knowing the heroes even mean knowing their exact cast animation. So even abilities that aren't skill shots could be messed up if you are outplayed. There are a lot of heroes that have a model flicker or a phase in between the cast of the spell so you can actually dodge target spells that come after you.(like terrorblade metamorphosis) Which is also why things seem that way.
3).Dota is archaic but its been tweaked by the community for years. The way it is with things some people don't understand like pulling creeps, cast blocking, tree juking, somethings going through magic immunity its all from the community and how it has worked. Its archaic, but new abilities are being added to the game cause of the source engine being superior to the old WC3 engine. Also denying is one of the most essential parts of lane control. Even you are really good at last hitting and denying you will never have the creeps at your tower or have your creeps at his tower and it ensures that you are never out of position. (not get tp'd in and die at enemy tower etc. plus they get half experience and 0gold when you do deny so its another dynamic involved to win a lane or get the best of a result. Same goes for denying heroes, towers, and other things.
4). Well, this is a certain easy one to answer. You are either in a money crunch, lazy, or a console fanboy that is scared of touching any components inside of a computer cause of your lack of knowledge. I use to know a lot of people that hated World of Warcraft but still played it cause their computer couldn't run anything else. However, they started to hate it more and more as the time went by but still played it cause of the inability to play anything else. So if you are in that boat and you are playing League only cause you invested time in it and you cant play anything else. Well, they like to call that a "Sunk Cost Fallacy"
TL;DR You suck ass for not reading.
