The biggest difference is that every game of league is the same while DOTA2 remains fluid. LOL is, in every single game you'll ever play, ADC + support bot, mage/assassin mid, melee bruiser top and a jungler.

On the other hand every game of DOTA2 is different. And its not just about "denying takes more skill mechanically" its a strategic thing to control wavepush. I played LOL a lot. I was diamond 5 ranked when I quit and simply put: DOTA2 is infinitely deeper a game both I'm terms of mechanics AND strategy.

And is this guy REALLY trying to say LOL has higher quality production values? DOTA2 has infinitely better graphics and sound quality. Hell DOTA2 heroes have like 100+ voice lines each including directly addressing interactions with certain other heroes in the game. Heroes in LOL have LITERALLY 2 or 3 lines of dialogue each.

In fact this is one of the reasons why LOL has more players; you can run the game on a potato.

And yet amazingly nobody still gives a fuck about the game because of how unbelievably shitty it is. There's usually more people watching/playing minecraft than dota 2. What the fuck does that tell you? Dota 2 looks like fucking dog shit. Nobody wants to watch it because you can barely tell what the fuck is even going on. Oh and laugh out fucking loud that dota 2 has better mechanics. You've seriously got to be shitting me. Dota 2 literally has the worst mechanics of ANY moba ever made and I'm not even exaggerating whatsoever.

You're so fucking dumb it's actually embarrassing. Every game of baseball is the same! There's always a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd basemen and a short stop and a pitcher and catcher and 3 outfielders! Dota 2 keeps shit fluid though rofl! Kill your fucking self.

LoL doesn't allow the Denying of creeps, which makes the laning phase ultra boring, and for me that's what killed the game. I can see how it is so successful though, they are basically the WoW of moba.

The community is terrible in any moba, and more often than not a game is decided by who has the bigger noobs on the team. It get's very frustrating because usually the outcome of a game is very clear after the first few fights, and the snowball effect (doubled because of levels AND equipment both making you stronger) makes it even harder for people to make up the lost ground, especially for unskilled players.

Learning curves are super steep, and it is very hard to learn the game when you are constantly being flamed by everyone. This happens in every moba, and not just specific ones.

Bottom line is, after a while MOBA games just feel like a roll of the dice, unless you play with a fixed team, in which case you will be facing high level basement dwellers which also doesn't make the game much more entertaining, unfortunately

Oh my personal rating is:

Dota2 > Heroes of Newerth > Smite > Heroes of the Storm > LoL > Infinite Crisis > WC3 Dota Mod

You know how you deny creeps? You smack the other guy in the face so he backs off [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Sorry, your fanboy bias is showing. How do you argue that denying is such a complex strategy and that the laning phase is ultra boring without it and then rank HOTS above LOL? HOTS doesn't have denying. You don't even have to kill enemy creeps in HOTS. You just AFK in lane until the first PVE objective spawns.

I am sorry my personal rankings angered you. Also, I haven't played a single moba game in a year or so, hardly a fanboy

I think it definitely makes you a DotA2 fanboy if you can rank games you've never played over League of Legends. I'm assuming you've played that, right?
