So, I would like to know differences between LoL and Dota2. Cba to start searching all random infos from web since I dont play Dota2 yet(no invi). (I'v played LoL almoust 1,5y now)
What I think atm: Dota2 is more fast paced, more snowballable, more carryable alone. LoL is more about not making mistakes and about teamplay. Also dota2 has creep denying.
So, I would like to get as detailed review as possible about differences from someone who plays both games. I'm sure I have more questions after first review :)

Dota2 is nolife.
every single steam user got 1million dota2 invites... need one?
Dota2 = Slow with bad game mechanics and totally random match system
HoN = Better than the previous two
dat game >>>>>>>>>>> hon
cant deny that but thats what expected from a newer game with a bigger company behind it.
Hon still a good competitor if you go all by gameplay tho
keep it homo my brother
was still sad tho and it changed my view of that fatty forever cause i actually used to like him :(
so for you germany is eastern europe?
lol nice life xddddd
:DDDDDDDDDD\wqeqe
maybe i am drunk cause i cant remember if you were in that clan too, if so. Why the fuck would you want to win like that? i really cant get my mind into that state, why would you want to win by forfeit?
im oc CHAMP now,
peace mate,i go slepp now...always a pleasure talkin shit and trollin around with you brah
dit is een praktische grap
dota = hon kinda
dota 2 = dota = hon but they dont port heroes anymore.
lol = some faggy kid style dota game that is fun for the webbrowser gamer
hon / dota2 = more harder to pick up and you need to use more brain/teamplay so dont go play this if you are alone cause your time will be like satan in clouds
maybe i should not have called LoL faggy but i play hon and i feel ashamed when people think its the same game. And people get confused by this and i do not like it.
Dota 2 is more slower than hon and i guess in general a better game with the work thats been put into it, real nice community involvement shiznit, but the gameplay just feels too slow for me, thats why i play hon cause it feels/reacts more crisp than other moba games i have played
Ironic cus LoL has more tournaments and prize awards than HoN + Dota 2 together.
+ Gl for dota or hon to ever pass LoL at streaming viewers.
what the fuc are you doing on the internet man go back to console gaming and never reply to me again you son of a bitch with 3 legs and a plastic lover.
yeah cause most skaters/gothics/kids have no life and are able to waste so much time on watching a nerd play a game so they can nerd while they watch some one nerd. durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
i was a kid
i had no life
but i didnt go insane in the membrane thinking games are better when they have bigger prize pools/tournaments.
also sorry danL if you read this but you were most feared in ET because you always managed to get a forfeit win from teams you lost from.
If you cant beat leet..
zielig roach dat was echt kankerrrrrr sad zoals een ekte nederlander dat zou zeggen.
ook al was dat jaren terug, sad sad sad forever sad. <3 hoeren homo vies kanker lelijke paard
Sorry that we are known for knowing the rules better than CB admins but after Donex of all people fucked us over by breaking written match rules (for which he should have been fired from his position tbh) we made it our mission to follow every single rule 100% no matter the opponent. Killerboy even mentioned that danL knew the rules better than he did.
And i roach follow lame decisions by my clanleader that kinda are obviously fucking a sad attempt to get a win out of a loss. dont come with that autism bullshit to me roach.
Seeing as with what kind of comments are u coming back to try to argue anything, i find it waste of time to even bother replying to any kind of comments of urs, as i simply pitty u.
E: Comparing design + graphical value on champions + skins, its same as comparing black / white screen TVs with nowadays plasmas.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKASDASD
no really, LoL is big but not the best game out there if you want a dota styled game play.
Oke it beats smite but so does pacman
Unlike in LoL if you suck in HoN or Dota2 your going to get raped and frustrated every single game basically meaning your going to give up pretty fast.
No.
LoL more prize money but also 2000000x the players, so actually less per head.
LoL only a few tournament circuits meaning a lot of money but only in big lumps.
dota2 still beta.
LoL playes always fall back on the "but....but...but we got so many players and big ass prize pool" argument which is utter bullshit. BlackOps2 much?
really, can this be even used anymore?
close.
hahaha even only in China there are more players than that, please stick to lol, i dont want trashcan like you in a good game
happy?
Oh, i dont really need to link steam site for dota2 numbers do i? Butthurt much cause a casual game like LoL has everything better than dota2?
LoL nonnononononono gets yours facts on the righe line man
You could say they are the same with slight differences but the map actually is a big deal.
Also the denying of creeps is essential to how the game progresses.
I just felt like you were giving bossHK wrong information that he doesnt deserve.
however, in my view, i believe that the games are the same in their core skillsets.
the differences are a shifted focus on what is deemed to be important (i.e. hon/dota are about having strong creep tallys and laning presence.) the other differences are merely aesthetic.
the destination does not imply the same journey.
LoL has +2 skills and works with out of the game powers(runes).
If you spoke about hon and dota alone, i would agree with you 100%. but you just cant say that LoL is the same game with small differences.
Its not because i am biased but its just not that similar.
And i have played all 3 games for quite a while to know what is going on.
I dont think hon has a better engine, its build to run on 1 core. The engine cant handle some combo's/massive flash spell useages. Engi ult, riftwalker slow.
Dota2 should have a better engine since its newer than hon.
And lol is easier is some aspects than the ones mentioned above but can be harder on different points. Its just the skill cap that the game has is not as high as dota/hon because of the options it has to offer(cutting trees to juke, denying).
I really like the way dota2 is going but the slower paced movement/turnaroundspeed/attack animation stylos just doesnt float my boat. It feels like a slow down the game mechanic which i do not like.
I also like the fact that hon is easy to customize(textures on basically everything) and pretty nice mods that are available in a legal way. Just not allowed in competitive.
here fucking mashed100dirtbag, hope you are happy i made a comment that had some constructive things in it stop crying noaw
And i never had any issues running hon. The game runs smoothly, things are easy to see and the visuals coupled with the audio make it easy to understand what is goin on. By that i mean, you are very aware that a behemoth just ulti'd you and your team.
As you mentioned turnspeed and cast animations and things, i agree, dota2 feels really clunky compared to hon, and as a result, not as fast paced.
So go try out an engi ult combined with another full flashy lineup(soulstealer + gravekeepr). My friend with high end pc had lag problems with that not running smooth. Also the riftwalker slow with a DOT is either bugged or killing the engine. But i guess that has more to do with rendering.
At least in the end we do agree that we both like the hon crispness i guess.
the game would be so much more fun if there were less retards and stats werent shown.
oh well.
LoL is easy but hard to master
rest is just so fucking hard from the beginning that I never found enough time to play it
not mind, he so cool trolling not like saken.
saken is more like; i say this be funny cool opposite of what is true because i try to make people mad.
mind; finlandish humor. saying that because he knows it upsets some people cause there is no way to argue with it eventho some people fall for it.
LoL is easy to learn, easy to play at a "decent" level.
But when you get the basics imo dota2 is really more enjoyable than LoL is.
and for a final line, dota2 require more skill than LoL, for example if you fed someone, you lose gold and he win some, so the game is slower than LoL since u have to play "safe".
i started LoL year ago, i couldve started hon or dota, but i didnt cause i cba to learn new games anyway, why would anyone start hon or dota over LoL if the learning curve happens to be easier on lol, why would anyone wanna waste month or two to learn hon/dota little tricks when u can spend it on learning quite easily game LoL, i just never understood this arguiment "lol is easy compared to hon/dota2 omg omg", like what the fuck, why u wanna play harder one if u have same platform game avaible that is easier to learn?
Okay, my opinion is that HoN is some casual fag game, so easy to carry alone, u just kill someone and u refresh ur skills and kill rest of them. GG. 10s stun, very balanced stuff. HoN so casual and easy game, 0 skillcap. LoL in other hand has high skill cap, but is easy to learn. 1-4 activated items per hero/champ, skillshots, 2nd casts on skills, LoL high skill cap, LoL much money, LoL hard to master, LoL is the best one.
Quote from friend who played 1700+ rating HoN but plays LoL sometimes now: "LoL is suprisingly hard to master".
Anyway, idc about ur opinion honloldota skillcaps or moneyprizes. Someone who plays both lol and dota2, tell some differences, for example: intelligence heroes at dota2 are basically same as AP heroes at LoL. Strenght = bruisers. Agility AD carries. Dota2 has higher duration cc's, but more ways to reduce/stop it. Dota2 heroes are more categorized into certain roles, for example at LoL Lulu can play support, mid, top efficiently, at Dota2 Crystal Maiden = support.
???
Etc...
HoNs skillcap is way above LoL and it seems like i quit HoN cause you could not stand how bad you are on it
1700+ is not even much u scumbag
Haha.
Point of the topic was to tell differences between lol and dota2. NOT skillwise, NOT to bring hon along BUT TO TELL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LOL AND DOTA2. Can't be so hard to read.
P.S. And I'm right because I can shoot 70acc at jaymod servers so my e-penis is bigger than yours so stfu thank you.
also dota = hon = dota = hon
scrub stay at l0l plez
When I as a LoL player started playing dota I instantly noticed last hitting was way more harder. You don't do that much damage in early levels in dota so you have to time your AA well, also the attack animations varies between different heros and they are slow compared to LoL. To spice things up there is also denying.
Second thing I came across was the amount of active items. Normally in LoL you have like 1-2 active items, sometimes you have none. In Dota you can have full backpack of activate items that you need to use in fights and time them right and so on. Also the activate items do all kind of neat stuff like turn you invisible, which I really like cause using them well and wise can determine the outcome of fight and makes you capable to outplay your enemies in 1vsX situations.
Third thing, which came as a little shock to me as a LoL player was there was no recall. You need to buy scroll which makes you able to teleport on turrets or base. If you have certain boots you can teleport on minions. This makes game interesting cause you need to really think when to back because backing by foot takes long time which leads to lack of CS and EXP. Also you can gank with the telescroll. Because of this you need to use courier, which is a unit that you can control to bring stuff from base to you.
I like jungle in dota, creeps spawns refresh once in a minute as long as you don't stand in there. There are more creep camps than in LoL, there are no buff creeps but you can collect runes from the river. Runes gives you certain ability for short amount of time. (Damage, invisibility, haste, illusion, regen).
In dota heroes consume way more mana than in LoL. You can't spam your skills in early levels, you have to use them wisely. Also heroes has different kind of abilities than in LoL. You can throw or hook your teammates (sometimes leads to trolling yes), you can go invisible etc. Also the abilities may sound OP for the first time. You have crazy hard cc that LoL doesn't have and the abilities in general are "stronger". Like some of the abilities can deal insane amounts of damage if played right. Also I liked dota hero design style more than LoLs quickmade recycled model style.
Some quick points:
-Towers are different, they shoot faster and the aggro is different.
-Graphics are dark, you may have some troubles when playing the game for the first time. Also, for me the game goes chaotic when there is teamfight since I have no idea what certain heroes do and I am not used to the graphics.
-Skill gap really shows. If you are better than enemy you can 1vs5 them. You can totally bash em if they have no idea what to do. (This is situation when good player faces beginners/noobs). In contrary in LoL you can't really go 1v5 even you're fed as hell.
-Some skillshots are really hard to hit.
-Many abilities from LoL are taken from dota so learning some champions like Drow ranger might be easy.
-Turn animation
This is quick review how Dota 2 differs from LoL, hope this helped!
I think his last name being Anus is more impressive tbh.
He is in LogiX at least was, according to leaguepedia never won anything (during hennessy being in).
They have some old mtw.eu players but there is a reason why they don't play in it anymore.
if you need dota 2 keys
in dota you got so maky classes, nuker , support , disabler , etc etc etc
and u can get to even up to 7 skills as a support (2 passives)
and some champions ultimates are wall of texts and you have to accomplish some conditions
everything is very complex. and i got to see you cant really do shit on lane (farm , push, deny properly) without a ranged :S
in LoL ---> right focusing at right time ---> WIn
in dota ---> right player knocked out of the game for few seconds(disabled,or freezed, or stuff like this) at the right time ---> maybe a chance for WIN
that's what i think
