[QUOTE=parsimony;39952823]I really do think dota 2 is poorly made, it lacks polish and honestly outs just not good this is obviously my opinion though, but I really don't like it.[/QUOTE] Objectively does not mean your opinion though, objective means by a factual and agreed upon standard. DOTA is not objectively bad because it's bad by your strange standards.

Haha. Purge is trolling at the end there. Awesome.
[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;39953063]You do know dota is still in beta right?[/QUOTE] ya, but unless they're going to go from beta to release with gigantic changes to how the game works, I really doubt they're going to really fix it up too much. [QUOTE=Elspin;39953584]Objectively does not mean your opinion though, objective means by a factual and agreed upon standard. DOTA is not objectively bad because it's bad by your strange standards.[/QUOTE] Good point, then I go back to my original statement, DOTA 2 is objectively bad, MOBAs are stressful games that only serve to really benefit people the pro's that make money from abusing the obsessions and addictions of the regular players.
I like both. Where's my ticket?

Jesus why do people give a shit when the two games are good in their own ways?
mob mentality one guy did it and his friends did it and their friends did it and so on and so forth

Also lol at Purge's appearance in that video.
[QUOTE=Silversoda;39947070]This is essentially the only reason why LoL will always be more popular then DOTA 2.[/QUOTE] Theres a difference between simple and catering to bads and being overly complex and assholish to your players 7 seconds stuns FTW amiright?
[QUOTE=wraithcat;39951907] Dota will generally get a lot more lethal a lot sooner than lol really. It's got a lot to do with the lack of free escapes for everyone and generally bigger impact of abilties as well as different aggro behaviour of towers (not for spells for instance)[/QUOTE] I disagree. LoL allows much more use of spells, which means that early lane phase is a lot more aggressive.
[QUOTE=Silversoda;39947070]This is essentially the only reason why LoL will always be more popular then DOTA 2.[/QUOTE] Nah. It's clearly because LoL has more tits.
[QUOTE=SataniX;39954793]I disagree. LoL allows much more use of spells, which means that early lane phase is a lot more aggressive.[/QUOTE] But everyone is able to have a blink in LoL which generally means that it is a lot easier to escape ganks.
[QUOTE=Valnar;39954801]But everyone is able to have a blink in LoL which generally means that it is a lot easier to escape ganks.[/QUOTE] Except that same blink also allows aggressive play and can be used to initiate ganks too.
[QUOTE=SataniX;39954808]Except that same blink also allows aggressive play and can be used to initiate ganks too.[/QUOTE] Kinda, but if the person being ganked has a blink too they can just blink under their tower or further back. Then the person who initiated is out of position.
[QUOTE=Valnar;39954825]Kinda, but if the person being ganked has a blink too they can just blink under their tower or further back. Then the person who initiated is out of position.[/QUOTE] Also true, but in League the towers are less dangerous. It's easier to juggle aggro I believe, so much that a lot of the competitive matches in the current LCS revolve around 3man towerdives at around level 3-4.
[QUOTE=SataniX;39954851]Also true, but in League the towers are less dangerous.

But others may have different opinions on that.
[QUOTE=Wii60;39952778]my opinion on dota and lol It teaches you to not run into the fray like a idiot and think defensively and aggressively at the same time. If you don't your going to lose tons of gold and lose the entire game. The towers are simply there to just say "Hey quit it, go away you aren't ready to move up this lane yet" but if you have enough armor and items your hero can just simply ignore the tower while chasing a enemy hero, which allows less dependence on towers. The only reason i play LoL Is because my friends still haven't quite gotten into Dota 2 yet (they are trying), But i prefer Dota 2 way more than LoL. Higher quality gameplay, I prefer the Art style and graphic design way more, and i feel like the heroes have better skills/descriptions/names. I don't know why but for some reason names like "teemo" and "lux" sound silly compared to names like "Juggernaut" and "Phantom assassin"[/QUOTE] Turrets hit hard. Late game they really fall off, but still hurt enough to get you down in 10 seconds. The naming is like that because they're actually names, not just descriptions of what they are.

It's easier to juggle aggro I believe, so much that a lot of the competitive matches in the current LCS revolve around 3man towerdives at around level 3-4.[/QUOTE] 3 hits from a tower at level 3 and you're out. In DotA 2 tower hits feel like you get hit by a slightly stronger minion. How can you say they're less dangerous when one can actually kill you in seconds, while the other just hurts.
[QUOTE=SataniX;39954851]Also true, but in League the towers are less dangerous.[/QUOTE] Not even close. Towers in League stack damage.
towers in league stack damage and have more damage, but they also shoot slower and have less range. one way to get around the turret getting you is simply having creeps taking the shots, and you can get more under it by freezing the lane and keeping the enemy away from all the creeps while they stack up. if you're ranged, you can hit them while they're under the turret without getting its aggro. if you're melee, you can chase them past it or simply approach them and deal damage before getting its aggro (it only targets you if you target them, so just don't target them until you're in range). also on flash: don't forget the 5 minute cooldown. in a 30 minute game, that's 6 uses. it's not a get out of jail free card all the time, for example, if you're silenced you can't do it, if you're slowed you'll still be going slow, etc. if the early game is too aggressive for you in either game you're not controlling your lane properly, if it's too passive then what's stopping you from getting aggressive and poking the enemy? the fact he's going to burn his once-every-five-minute blink just because you poked him with an autoattack, then suddenly the jungler blinks in and kills you? right... just a note the range for flash is not that much, for comparison it's maybe half of dota's blink dagger range. in league you can just barely get through some walls with it and go through about half of the river, in dota you can jump over the river. and yes i know you purchase it but again the point is the games are different and should be played different and you can still like one or the other and not hate them
Flash is also really easy to fuck up unless you use it down lane, I always find myself using innate escape first cause the range on flash is very small and theres only a few walls you can really go over with it, its nearly always better to use an ability such as J4's EQ combo or caitlyns net
Holy shit we have this argument in every thread about LoL this is like the same level of fucking anti bronies screaming in every thread they can, nobody cares, you're proving nothing but making yourselves look like fucking babies who refuse to accept other people can like different games
[QUOTE=joost1120;39954904] 3 hits from a tower at level 3 and you're out. [/QUOTE] Yes, but the range is significantly shorter and they attack slower. The range in particular makes it easier to towerdive.
hey guys guys hey psst both games are shit [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Threadshitting / shitposting" - Craptasket))[/highlight]

Have you even played LoL and Dota? LoLs towers are way more dangerous than Dotas by a long shot.
[QUOTE=Cowabanga;39957495]all mobas are shit so lol[/QUOTE] they're pretty miserable based on the communities they foster alone it sure is fun when you miss a single click and your entire team goes "fuk noob uninstall ur feed and bad GG reported"
