Re: League of legends community
I used to play the original Dota, the video you posted is completely non biased comparision.. sadly the internet is full of people biased towards either game, and its rare to find such a vid..
One of the biggest reason why older LoL players turned Dota 2 hate Tencent is because of Pendragon who closed the domain dota-allstars.com.. He was later fired for it but the damage was done..
Anyway both games are cool, I do miss the deny mechanics that was present in the original Dota but LoL has some good stuff under it's sleeve as well
Anyways here are the points of both games : (havent played dota 2 much, used to play dota 1 lots)
Dota:
1)Deny Mechanics
2)More active items
3)Day/Night cycle
4)Slightly slower paced
5)Hard snowball against the losing side (Gold loss upon death, etc)
6)High skillcap
7)Towers do less damage
8)All heroes are free
9)The biggest difference is - Heroes are divided into Strength, Agility, Intelligence..
10)No surrender
LoL:
1)Brushes to ambush
2)Manaless champions (energy/rage/blood etc)
3)Slightly fast paced
4)2 Summoner spells
5)Recall button to teleport to base
6)Noob friendly but challenging at level 30 + (No gold loss, constant gold income)
7)Towers are deadly
8)All champions you have to unlock by ingame currency
9)Runes/Masteries to counterpick
10) Champions are divided into AP and AD.. AD champions are rely on basic attacks but AP champions are very different.. Ability power increases the damage you do by your Q,W,E,R abilities in AP based champs.. Autoattacks by AP champs does antbite damage
11)Can surrender at 20 mins+ (vote based)
I dont know about Dota 2 right now but LoL has a TOXIC community..
Also, many people assume that in League people have to buy champions by real life cash.. This is PARTIALLY true, BUT, unless you are rerolling/creating new account and just want to buy all the stuff u previously owned this totally doesnt make sense.. I have spent Rs 0 /- on buying champions and i have all the champs i need for any ranked match earning via ingame money.. In LoL you develop an arsenal of your champions, You buy the champs you are going to use, to master them to help with picks and counter picks etc
besides, if you want to try champions before buying, every week there's a champion rotation of 14 champs that are free (which is chosen by the community).. You can try before you buy that way
The only thing you cannot buy via ingame currency is Skins which is purely cosmetic
