Cyrus Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 So I've been wanting to try Dota 2 for a while. I've heard it's quite better than League of Legends. I want to know some opinions from Rebornians on how is Dota 2 and how it compares to League of Legends. Thanks~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackalacka Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Oh God why... You will be the cause of the end of Reborn, this argument will tear the forums and server apart... YOU HAVE DOOMED US ALL!!!!! Also I've never played either one because I'm too addicted to Team Fortress 2- I mean Hat Fortress 2, sorry... Anyway, while I'm not really qualified to have an opinion on this, I would like to say League of Legends is MUCH more popular, and I would guess that's not for nothing. Of course, then again, Call of Duty is popular, and so is Justin Beiber, so I suppose that can't really be a valid point to the claim LoL is better than Dota 2... I suppose it's just a matter of opinion. I intend to to try League of Legends soon, and possibly I'll try Dota 2 if LoL doesn't quite "tickle my fancy", never liked that phrase, but I digress. Try them both for yourself, then decide. Play whatever you like and don't let others bring you down for it. ;3 Also, please, don't do anything to excite the Rebornians, much like zoo animals they are easily aggravated. *shot* <xD ^Sorry, I had to... I didn't really mean it^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Desire Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I prefer LoL, i've watched some Dota streamers and I didn't really enjoy the hero graphics/how the map looked ): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rycast Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Playing DotA will get you surrounded by girls, proven by Basshunter: In all seriousness, you can't really rely on anyone else's opinion about this until you play DotA 2. They have their similarities and differences so it depends on the person playing to decide on the gameplay he/she prefers. I'm a bit biased towards DotA 2 because I played the first one and I never had a chance to play a lot of LoL because my good computer broke leaving me with a 7-year old laptop that can't even hold a charge unless it's plugged =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaito Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Personally, I prefer DotA 2. I can't really say which is better, since in the end it all comes down to personal preference, but I normally have more fun with DotA 2 than I do LoL.

Hyouka Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 The community of both are ass. LoL is easy Dota 2 is a lot harder and has more variety imo. You can have fun with both unless you solo queue. I'd say Dota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
片思い Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 my proper opinion of this topic is you sir are trolling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fush Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 In Dota 2, the meta is actually rather "flexible" compared to League of Legends, and despite how bullshittingly complicated it is, it's actually a very well designed. LoL has a butthurt community, but it's simplistic compared to DoTA2, and easier to get the hang of. I find it better when it comes to casual play aswell.

Fiammazure Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 The community of both are ass. - check. LoL is easy - can't check this, didn't play enough of it. Dota 2 is a lot harder and has more variety imo. - check, but it has a tutorial too you know... You can have fun with both unless you solo queue. I'd say Dota. - Obv.

Administrators Amethyst Posted August 31, 2013 Administrators Share Posted August 31, 2013 I strongly prefer LoL mainly just because I like LoL's characters whereas all of DotA's seem boring to me save like, two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunaethetic Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 DotA is more technically difficult and requires more study to be 'good' at the game, and even then each hero is hard to 'master'. It also has a massive learning curve. League is more simplistic, but in general requires more "skill" (more abundance of skillshots, more map objectives etc.), but is easier. IMO, DotA is the 'superior' game, but I find LoL more enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soysauce Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) Those two games are quite different. Dota2 is harder when you start playing it (last hitting AND denying, pulling creeps..), more punishing (you actually lose gold if you die) but every hero has a very strong kit, meaning that you can have hard counters. There is more fog of war plays potential, and you have access to every hero. In LoL the mechanics and champions are pretty intuitive and easier to handle, but has a similar skill ceiling when we talk about comps, teamfighting tactics etc. Just try both and play more the game you prefer, it's just a matter of taste really. =p Edited August 31, 2013 by Soysauce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyouka Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Also this Flash/ignite win game ignite/flash win game Gap closers everywhere. if champion doesn't have gap closer they are bad unless they take flash. champions with gap closers take flash anyway.

Stiffins Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 What about Heroes of Newerth? Coming from a long time Dota player (i think i first played the original dota around about 10 years ago, damn im old.) i definitely prefer dota over the 2. I played a bit of LoL, around 10-20 games but have spent around 500 hours on Dota 2 and much more with the original. If you think those communities are bad though, you would probably hate HoN. Even the devs would flame and troll in game. My only problem with dota 2 is the report system, let ppl talk shit its a competitive game ffs.

Administrators Ikaru Posted September 2, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 2, 2013 I thought about linking that myself since I'd have fun playing either one so whatever; can't deny there are definitely differences between the two and I'm pretty sure that's the sort of thing he was asking for.

Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~ Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Neither, both suck, go play Smite *Shot* Kidding, Dota is better in my opinion In my opinion. I don't like farming just so I can play a character I might not like, and be able to play a character on week and not the next. Plus Dota just looks better to me and feels better. Every character is MUCH stronger, you take a lot more damage from each skill, and most characters don't feel like facerolls (sorry but a lot of the LoL heroes the strategy is use every skill in a certain order to win.) One thing I will give LoL, is that a lot of their heroes are badass looking and are more visual inviting then most dota heroes. I love the dota heroes, but some of them look like a fart...

sirhades123 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Having played both games, I can see great upsides in each and, put simply, DOTA 2 is more for competitive play, and LOL is more for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevaleresse Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 okay dota vs LoL in a nutshell Dota: -is less noob friendly -punishes mistakes more by design -has a much darker visual theme -has slightly more variety between heroes; there is no formula for a carry/ADC, no support formula, heroes simply tend toward different roles -has all heroes unlocked for no charge right away -is slightly more dynamic -has casters that scale less in particular, with less heroes scaling to lategame in general League: -is easier to learn -less punishing in general -is brightly colored visually -tends to follow set formulas for set roles; heroes are designed to fulfill a specific purpose in general -operates on a weekly champion rotation -tends toward less variation in team setups -has more scaling for all heroes Important mechanical differences: -Dota has denying, or killing allied units to prevent enemies from gaining the bounty for doing so -There is no gold loss on death in League -Jungling does not grant buffs in Dota -Dota works on a RPG-like stat system of Strength, Intelligence, and Agility; League items directly modify HP, mana, etc -There are only two items in Dota that affect cooldowns and only one that affects gold gain, and the latter is an active ability on an item Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
