До сих пор нерешенный вопрос, что же лучше, дота 2 или Лол?
Dota 2 is dynamic, in a sense that junglers aren't that much in
demand than in LoL and roles are much more flexible (of course there are
still roles, but they can have different lanes)
LoL is static, mainly because of the huge esports push, everyone
flames you for not sticking to the meta, so instead of making some game
breaking discovery, you're just going to have pissed off teammates. yes Dota 2 is Harder, and LoL is Easier, but i think that LoL is better
becouse of Runes, Masteries, More Maps.. Items in game are better, and u
need to unlock all champions. In Dota 2 u just got all, so thats
boring.
League is, yes, somewhat easier, it's also more streamlined and meant
to be readable after some basic understanding. League is massively
popular, and has a huge eSports presence. Complexity doesn't
automatically make something better, and the skill ceiling in
LoL is still very high (some of the pro plays just blow my mind)...the
skill floor, or entrance, is just much lower so as to be easily
accessible. LoL is intentionally simple, and that's one of the reasons it is so popular. It's simple, but also has a perfect groundwork to be competitive.
DotA is still evolving, as it's still in beta, so you see all sorts
of cool new features cropping up, and its playerbase is growing as well.
League is the big thing, and I enjoy that myself, but there's no
denying DotA has massive potential, and is worth keeping an eye on for
sure.
League is also changing a lot, though. The new season started up, we
got a bunch of new items, balance changes, some changes to Ranked are on
their way, and new champions are introduced every few weeks.
It all depends what you're interested in.
Let me know if anyone has any specific questions. I haven't played
much DotA, but I'll try to answer questions regarding the differences as
fairly as I can. I don't buy into the whole 'if you like one you have
to hate the other' thing, so I'll just give an honest answer, or tell
you I don't know. :)
Also, I wish people were responding with more than one sentence
answers, I'm rather curious myself to see what people think, and why
they lean toward one game over the other.
LoL is better in my opinion. FYI, I played lol more than 2500+ games over last 3 years and I'm currently around 1600 elo.
Why: It has a much more active competitive scene, you can watch
streams of top teams competing every weekend. And personally I think lol
graphics look better than dota2. Well I played dota1 years ago for a
really long time till they released 6.xx versions, I liked the 5.xx maps
more and as you might know they were designed by guinsoo who's now
working for riot...
Cons: Terrible online community. You will face ragers, flamers,
trolls like every second game u play in solo queue. But if you have a
competitive team, decent high elo or enough friends to play together
this will not be a big deal.
Btw I think both games are very similar and there are only a few
differences in items, champions and game mechanics. I think both of the
games have similar difficulty, I wouldn't call dota2 harder. It depends
on which level of opponents you're playing against. Any 2k+ elo player
in lol can easily show you the hell if your a casual player.
Also I think dota2 is more beginner friendly coz you can play all the
champions which takes more than a year to unlock in lol... You might
need to play at least 600+ hours of lol just to unlock enough champions,
get necessary runes and reach level 30, before that it's just a
completely different game against a bunch of newbies..
Your opinion will differ based on your experience, expectations and skill level in those games.
If you're aiming to play a highly competitive game with tons of
online/offline events and high quality streams to watch 24/7 and if you
can handle tons of raging from random people lol is the game you're
looking for.
If you want a casual game with high potential of competitive play and
more friendly players, also if you don't care about top
players/tournament streams, competitive scene of the game dota2 might be
the right choice.
Finally I have to say since LoL is not on steam and sg is a steam community, we know which game is gonna win the poll..
