    There’s realistic only DotA and I can understand the reluctance, the two games are massively different, League is much more suited for casual play.

      Ahaha no I swear to god Dota 2 is ridiculously fun

      In LoL you play the same game over and over again.

      Yesterday on dota I planted trees with my friends to hide and wait for people to come to ambush them lol

      You can do all sort of funny stuff, TPing people in your base etc… everything is OP so you don’t feel like you have no agency. You feel like it’s just your skills that are lacking!

        I mean, ive played some dota in the past, i have about 200h on it, not nearly as much as league tho. But IME, especially for solo, league is just nicer overall. The mechanics for champions seem a lot more polished these days, and it is a lot more action focused, you have to worry about macro much less. The games are also like 50% shorter in league. As a solo player I find league to be a lot more laid back, where I can just play the champ more than play the game, if that makes sense.

        To each their own of course, Im not saying one game is better than the other, but it is a hard sell to transition league to dota.

          You’re right, DoTa is a lot more chaotic, but there’s a lot of action on the map! Macro play is not necessarily doing nothing in this game and often time fight breakout for runes, etc…

          I think it’s about preference rather than reality because we had two completely different experiences so yeah, I love League but I don’t see the point of playing it now!

            While I’m League hater, I would love if the Dota meta shifted to shorter games like League has. I really miss the strategic depth of normal/ranked, but realistically if I want to play more than one match per evening, I have to play turbo mode.
