I didn't even hit lock in. Naga was just highlighted. Such bullshit. Im mad. Offlane Naga doesn't work.

[SteppinnRazor]

lol thats hillarious

[Stasis01]

I've gotten reported more than 99% of dota players for like the last 10 reports.

Dota trolling is really a lot more fun than trying.

Like 50% chance guys are screaming into their mics.

What's wrong with League? DOTA2 is just a protest game

everything in league is small as fuck. Blitz hook moves like 200 dota units, flash allows you to move 120 units or so. That and the games most attractive features are high population and a surrender button.

[FoxxHound]

I'm bad, and I play League, DoTA, and HoTS.
Though I think the one thing DoTA has over League IMO. Killing heroes/champs. In League, unless it's first blood; as long as you are better at last hitting, freezing at tower etc. You can feed and still be on par with your lane. If you do that in DoTA you lose. Because not only do they get a lot of gold. You lose most of yours. Especially if you are on a killing spree. You're going to lose like 300-600 gold. So last hitting/denying in DoTA; while important, is not as important as going ham, and getting kills or denying kills.

[iruinedyourday]

the odds of encountering revy in dota are not that low :P

Now whether or not he does very well that's to be determined ;)

[TheDuck]

i am pretty bad at dota2, i have tried getting into it with chip, i enjoy the game but its hard to stay immersed. I'd give it another try if anyone wanted to play. im a pretty basic bitch tho.

[Aesop]

I played EverQuest with Tryndamere aka Mark Merrill so I play LoL to support a ***** even if he too good to talk to his peeps anymore

i remember when he was talking about it, i was like yea just some idiot who want some shitty game. didnt give it a look.

5 years later it hits the scene p big and i try it and its a nice game cept the matchmaking is fucked meaning its a really great shitty game.


dota2 isnt much better with matchmaking, but it is. dota2 is the subpar game aswell. but its still a really good game.

Depends on one of three factors.

1) How stoned am I?
2) Am I on tilt?
3) If you let me play Slark we win. Wiggle wiggle little fish.

Like I told ya when we started playing, in order for you to really start even grasping the game again it takes like 300+ hours. So much has changed and so many little things. I am constantly learning new stuff when I play. And I have like 2600 hours racked in so far.

the knowledge gap is so bad my like what 30 hours vs your 2000 hours, even 30 hours vs 90 hours is HUGE. its really shitty that way. but game s fun if u find a perfect match. which honestly is 1 in 20. so its sad to play. but when a good match comes for a new person its great.

[Izmael]

dota 2 at least has some semblance of rewarding mechanical skill

true video game superstars play games that actually require skill other than "teamwork"

like quake and brood war

A Quake Live tourney between R99 players is my wet dream.

[shimonuh]

False. Feeding = they get more CS while you're dead which means they get farther ahead in the lane especially mid to late game when turrets are being pushed.

Last hitting minions isn't easy to keep up on as you dodge skill shots and have enemy cooldowns/ teammate cooldowns to rely on as you do. Pretty big skill difference.

Haven't played DotA 2 myself yet, but i do know those differences.

so your claiming dota2's subpar matchmaking system purposely chose to do it?

Often I see a team down by 5-10 kills, but the total gold for each team is roughly the same. Sometimes the team that's down in kills will even be higher. Due to getting objectives and having better overall CS.
That being said. Even if your team is down in objectives, kills, and farm. In League it's much easier to make a comeback due to the freeze/turtle and farm. Which has happened a lot in competitive play. It's ridiculously hard to do that in DoTA. Because if they are stomping your shit out. You aren't getting gold; because you lose it when you die.

Is that the LoL dev that played Red? That cocksucker stole my AC that I solo'd down as a lowb cleric. Shitty thing was he had been asked by another friend to help. Dude ports him there he ks's and sells mq. Fuck him and his shitty fad game. Seriously LoL is a shit game.

[Doctor Jeff]

Lol Revy being bad at a video game? Naaaaw, its the game's fault~~

[SamwiseRed]

if dota2 didnt feel and look like a mod. game looks like shite, there is no excuse.

I mean anyone with basic dota knowledge instead of being a smart ass would know Naga siren will lose every 1v3 situation because the amount of babysitting she needs is absurd.

If only LoL were actually a fad...

its got some of the most team-dependent gameplay in the MOBA scene right now. The team fighting is second to none.

DOTA 2 has more people doing their own thing sucking. You can't do that in leagues.

I don't play leagues any more simply for the fact that its too high impact and steroided out for me, also very linear builds and play on top of that.

Don't confuse the casual leagues scene for the real McCoy. Also 400 million dollars in a single year says fad what??????????????? 400 M's DOTA 2 aint seeing none of that in its entire life.

For a spectator sport, Leagues delivers on the teamfights and the extremely hard coded meta makes it very fun to follow and watch since you know when you are watching good play and bad play.

On DOTA 2 you can have scrub play and not pick up on it as easily, cloaks shit players. Boring.

[heartbrand]

league's business model is directly at odds with it being a decent competitive game. Makes money on releasing deliberately unbalanced champs. Not to mention the sweeping rebalances and nerfs constantly. Practicing doesn't make you better at the basic mechanics of the game so much as making you more comfortable with this week's balance.

why anyone would ever consider playing a game like that competitively is completely beyond me. The only skill or practice that matters is your playtime during the last 3 months. Game is for chimp-level IQs if you arent playing it as a party game you can actually include gurlgaymers in at a lan.

Good thing the ban system takes care of that, rendering your 1 OP champ per patch cycle absolutely meaningless in the competitive scene.

Every champ gets tuned down within 2 months. If not, oh well. The ban coverage is huge.

OP champ myth status and its impact on the competitive game: Busted.

Whoops, I broke character.

Uhmm... Something, something, Revy's a loser!

[TheBiznessTZ]

The reason league still is great is cause it's almost like playing a new game every season / patch. The game is no where the same as it once was I. The early seasons. Keeps it fresh and makes you master new champs.

[hurt]

HON seems to be the flavour in Thailand with DOTA coming in at a close 2nd.

I remember playing the shit out of the original warcraft dota but could just never get into dota2 and hon. The community (in asia at least) seems even more toxic than here, which is somewhat impressive.

It's fun to pop into a lan cafe and listen to fifty teenagers screaming 'MID, GO, NOOOOOB' etc. Good times.

Whitney Houston is why I was confused why you're coming at me so hard.

Think the few times we talked it was literally just about the bear pits.

Also Sektors still mad I denied his Casual Scum app.

team fights

[AzzarTheGod]

how bout skill based gameplay, which moba got dat

Leagues hands down. Teamfight intensive gameplay and intense jungling and laning.

Most of my DOTA friends prefer the lower APM, higher specialized strategies and builds in DOTA, in addition to the game not requiring a good team to win, or any teamwork at all in some cases.

If you get an educated guy who's played both DOTA and Leagues to be honest with you, he will tell you the reason he quit Leagues is the APM and impact are just too steroided out and he can't hang anymore. Its too nerve racking.

The APM of leagues is like 3x times DOTA.

Pokes? DOTA doesn't have the laning pokes that leagues has. Leagues pokes are brutal. One wrong move in lane and you lose the game. 1-2 deaths in DOTA = big deal. 1 Death in leagues = GG surrender in 20. Very unforgiving.

Theres just too much to list. I no longer play Leagues, neither do my friends. We play DOTA for its de-emphasis on teamfighting, de-emphasis on laning, and de-emphasis on holding lane.

You die in lane once on solo top in Leagues and its gg. DOTA is much more relaxed and forgiving. Supernerds just can't man up and admit Leagues steroided gameplay and unforgiving team meta is the reason they don't like it. So they make up strawmen ala the pro-DOTA posts in this thread.

[LostCause]

never got how people could play a fps or moba all day everyday.

shits boring as fuck.

Azzar trolling hard as fuck. I like it.

[Doctor Jeff]

I prefer league because the team works together over the course of 20-35 minutes.
In Dota, from Revy's explanation, you can get boxed out in champion select and then have to go 1v3 for an hour while your team does nothing to help.

That doesn't sound like a fun way to spend an hour of my day.

[Nirgon]

i did that as undying under towers for a while, was fine

Eh same thing happens in league. Cent they have dynamic queue or some shit now.

Didn't know the fuckers was goin to refuse to offlane. Would've gone Bristle or Slark.
All depends on what shit heads you have on your team. Most of the time I get the role I feel like playing. People been pretty try hard with the new International Ranked.

do any u guys watch league streams in fullscreen mode at your low-level IT job? be honest now. i have overheard a coworker who does this talkin bout p99 before (did not acknowledge this conversation due to the extreme cringe factor on this guy)

So... you work a low level IT job? Got it, thanks.
