After a quick review, it looks like they want to cut down snowballing.

So you mean like junglers becoming too powerful as the game went on and dominating everything? Was this a big issue season 2? Having only played non-ranked games (level 27 currently) my experience was that this was rare, but maybe I wasn't paying attention or it was a bigger issue in high-level play? It seemed to me as though jungling didn't yield as much gold as, say, soloing top, so you wouldn't become as powerful. Again, though, my experience with jungling is limited.

These are separate thoughts.

The first part of the patch notes suggest that the ambient gold increase is going up, while monster gold gain is going down. I believe this (along with the champion kill gold change) has to do with with snowballing, but like I said, I haven't researched this except your link. There could be entirely different reasons, this is just the first thing that comes to mind.

Separately, the jungle has always been a issue from a design standpoint. They cant figure out how to balance it properly or not sure what direction to take it. It looks like, again from your link, that they dumbed down the jungle too much from the original revamp and they want to bring some difficulty back into the role.

Side note: LoL is almost unplayable now (at least as a casual-competetive player) I usually stick to ARAM because there's way too many scrubs playing to have any fun.

Enjoying the new patch, I love all the new items and the meta shift. Bruisers are even beastlier which would of made me angry in the past, so I started playing them and now love it.

played 1 match it was like w/e. Shop UI needed an upgrade from the pile of shit it was. Itams removed I din't even use half of them but rip bloodrazor.

The new fallen king sword or whatever it is is a much better replacement to it anyway

I followed the release of DoTA2 closely, but never played DOTA1. My main gripe (and what leagues does really well) is it's hard to understand whats happening in DOTA (and I'm sure it's easier to understand whats going on once you've played a lot) but for example, I can, at anytime, watch a stream or a friend playing League of Legends and instantly understand what is happening, who's winning and what the outcome of the game will probably be. I can explain whats happening to a friend or my girl and they can instantly relate because they can see it transpiring on the screen.

That aside, it looks like a great game with some real depth and of course, with the fact that it isn't outright free, I don't have to deal with xboxkiddies that moved to LoL :/

BURDEN OF KNOWLEDGE

Dota2 will be free, it's just in "closed" beta right now. No having to pay for heroes, none of that jazz. You could probably hit up another Dota2 player for a beta invite, they tossed out keys like candy a month or so ago.

DotA2 > league.
