Convince me to not install this please.

it's boring

are you gay? no? easy

Play Dota 2, it's a whole lot better. League is for casuals

fuck off retard

MOBAs are the worst thing to happen to video games. Yes, even worse than -insert cancer here-.

I can't

Smash Bros Melee

It's an unbalanced mess, most of the champs aren't even used. Play Hots if you want fast paced games with lots of team fighting, DotA if you want something deeper where the items you buy are more than stat sticks. There is no reason to play league when DotA is just a better version of it.

they are both for casuals, don't delude yourself

But League is fun

Your rank probably reset, do you really want to climb back up?

You have no friends to play with

Devs focus more on the meta than casual fun, they'd rather release sailor moon content and throw themselves off a bridge than listen to community feedback that isn't from the top 10 korean e-sports players or the most popular Twitch streamers

Dota2 is worst than LoL though.

Who the fuck cares about the opinions of bronze 5 players.

>worst
Stop doing that.

If you have no friends to play with, don't
I hate this game normally even with a group of 5. Dota 2 has so much better quality of life things in it but my friends are all too lazy to play it

Yordels

Absolutely nothing good will come out of playing a MOBA.

It will make you more bitter and cynical while also burning hundreds if not thousands of hours away, all of which you will regret. Every single second of it.

>inject this poison into your veins, not that one

OP here.

Thanks to put some sense on me.

I'll stay away from that shit.

Good job, OP. These games aren't worth your time.

Don't listen to play Heroes of the Storm

it's fun for a little bit
it's more fun to play with friends so you have people that kinda know what they're doing.

This
>shorter games
>lots of maps
>less grinding in lane
Obviously DotA has more depth, but Hots is pretty fun.

League = faster, has safety nets, follows a formula most of the time

Dota = slower, more complex, a single mistake can cause you the game

Both have cancerous communities.
League is a pinch better for me though, since games usually end faster = I have less time being bitter when having bad games.

Years of grind.

Haven't played a single better game to kill time and drown your sorrows in.

This is actually really out of date. Runes are going to be free in a few months, and until then they cost like 10 IP or something around there, and the IP you sink into them now will be refunded when the new runes release.

Also there's periodic crates that have either champions or skins in them, so you get an occasional boost to your champ pool.

The upcoming changes to the new player experience look fairly promising in relieving some (not all) of the grind.

Still, make no mistake, it will take you a long time to unlock ALL of the champions.

Ill agree with that and throw in all of bronze, silver and gold.
What about diamond or plat? Would they be worth listening to?

LoL can't have a great amount of depth so long as the full champion roster is blocked by a grind/pay wall.

You can't have hard counters in LoL because it puts people without the certain champs at a severe disadvantage. The end result is that most champions are more or less the same. Name ONE melee champion that doesn't have a gap closing ability. That's not to say there isn't uniqueness, it's just that the champion roster is much more homogenous than DotA's.

Also why the fuck did they hire the guy who ruined WoW's pvp scene to balance their game?

There's actually a whole subset of melee champions without gapclosers in League (Yorick, Morde, Nasus, Volibear, Trundle to name 5 off the top of my head). And I don't necessarily disagree with ghostcrawler on that sentiment. I think player skill should matter more than draft.

That isn't to say League doesn't have its share of flaws or that you're retarded for not liking it; in fact I'm not really all that interested in defending LoL. I just mostly wanted to point out to OP that a lot of the new player pains specifically are in the process of being addressed with some systems already released, so now is probably the least painful time to try it.

I love how old champions like Olaf are kited forever. I was curious of how prevalent blinks and dashes were so I color coded every champion with one. There's a clear cut pattern to them that you can see from the thumbnail.

Patrician
Best part is when I get sick of it, I don't have to worry about the meta or whatever the fuck when I get back.

It will literally consume you
You won't be able to enjoy any other type of game any more, everything just makes you want to play LoL
Soon you'll start playing ranked and get hopelessly addicted to it
It's not even fun, you don't even feel good when you win a ranked match, just relieved

Trust me, it's not worth it
LoL is a drug

At least play dota if you're gonna enter this cursed genre

>look mom I posted it again

shit community

Filled with children and foreigners on your servers who all believe they deserve a higher rank than their current one, and will act like an asshole to anything standing in their way, especially you who are on their team. This also applies to CS:GO.

The problem with League is that it's a casual Dota. The problem with Dota is that it's a casual Warcraft 3.
HOTS embraces the casual aspect of ASSFAGGOTS that appeals to APMlets and makes the most of it.

>The problem with Dota is that it's a casual Warcraft 3.
Nice meme
Dota is an ARPG made in wc3's engine, it has absolutely nothing to do with its design or gameplay

So they really stopped making characters other than semi-tanky "bruisers" with good burst and short-range mobility?

>better

Dota is a Warcraft 3 map with 95% of the mechanics cut out.

Dont play mobas, they are all cancer with the most autistic community in all of gaming

>2583 hours
You spent 108 days in Bronze? Lmfao

No it isn't. This makes no fucking sense. It's an independent game created in the engine.

>entire concept is literally "everyone controls one unit from WC3 and fights each other"
>absolutely nothing to do with the design or gameplay of WC3

>>entire concept is literally "everyone controls one unit from WC3 and fights each other"
If dota can be described as this, then every game where you control a single character could be described as this.

This would be a valid argument if Dota actually changed any of the basic mechanics like some other Warcraft 3 maps did. It does not, instead it just removed everything unrelated to hero units.

You clearly don't know shit about League or Dota.

no user, not every game can be described as "controlling one unit from wc3"

Every single game involves controlling a single character directly ripped from an existing game?

All the heroes are different, the way items work and are acquired is different, and the core gameplay built up around that is different (team arena arpg instead of rts). It's an entirely different and incomparable game. You're an idiot.

>directly ripped from an existing game
So not dota?

It applies to Dota because Dota uses the hero template of a dude that walks around with a few abilities. FPSs, fighting games, platformers every other genre where you just control one unit offers much more in-depth control of that "unit", and the abilities of the "units" themselves are much more complex.

Dota 2 has wider ability variety and a few other complexities I like, but the amount of randomness and other bullshit just make it way less enjoyable.

because you will waste thousands of hours and have absolutely nothing to show for it

>t. man who got out two years ago

Play League. Only play Dota when you're sick of League.

One's first game of LoL is fun.
One's first game of Dota is unpleasant.

One's millionth game of LoL is unpleasant.
One's millionth game of Dota is fun.

>League = faster, has safety nets, follows a formula most of the time
yeah, no, league is not faster, if anything it's slower - i've watched a fair deal of league matches(and by that i mean i had to sit and not pay attention to the screen) and league is painfully slow, every game is long just drags out so badly. i'll agree on formula, but if you mean the 1-1-1-2 meta, it's actualyl really bad
>Dota = slower, more complex, a single mistake can cause you the game
dota isn't slower, it's pretty dynamic, ganks can happen even before the game starts, there are characters that aare gankers/roamers and sometimes nothing else, and a single mistake can only cost you the game in like 60 minutes in with 6-slotted carries and 90 seconds of death time with no buybacks

Community is toxic and you barely contribute to your own win/loss rate it's all about luck in teams.

You are aware that all of the heroes in the original DOTA are just the heroes from WC3, right? And the other units are all just units from WC3? And the towers and creeps and buildings are all just towers and creeps and buildings from WC3? And the items and skills and mechanics are all items and skills and mechanics from WC3?

Have you ever played WC3? Or the original DOTA for that matter?

Ryze and Fiddle have a dash now? What the fuck is Riot doing?

>playing MOBA garbage

DotA fucking sucks that's why it's dead and league has a 2 million dollar tournament in 10 days.


Sorry you picked the losing game and don't wanna re-learn but DotA is shit.

This is what I did, and would strongly recommend it.

No, the game can turn around from one perspn dying at the wrong time.

>He can't get good
>He gets shit on by other players
>Comes into threads to get mad

Lmao

>It applies to Dota because Dota uses the hero template of a dude that walks around with a few abilities.
And you're a moron if you think WC3 invented this.
>hurr what is diablo
>hurr what are mmos

Even if it did, the actual genre and gameplay of the games those characters are used in is totally different.
Literally the only tie between RTS and Dota is the engine history

>You are aware that all of the heroes in the original DOTA are just the heroes from WC3, right?
>original
There's the keyword. Maybe nine years ago, yeah, but not anymore. That has no relevancy to anything.

> And the other units are all just units from WC3? And the towers and creeps and buildings are all just towers and creeps and buildings from WC3? And the items and skills and mechanics are all items and skills and mechanics from WC3?
All completely false. Nearly all of dota's current content is built fresh from the ground up, and the stuff that's from WC3 (town portal scrolls, items that grant a single stat, etc) are such basic concepts and affect the different gameplay so differently the tie may as well not even be there.

>Have you ever played WC3? Or the original DOTA for that matter?
I'm pretty convinced you haven't.

Sorry reddit-spacing man, I have 1500 hours of League of Legends under my belt, I've been playing since beta, before Pantheon came out.
I "picked" league when choosing against Heroes of Newerth.
I now exclusively play Dota.

You on the other hand probably have an insignificant amount of experience with Dota 2, and merely talk out of your ass, due to tribalism.

>Sorry you picked the losing game and don't wanna re-learn but DotA is shit.
i don't even play mobas anymore dude, stop projecting
>DotA fucking sucks that's why it's dead and league has a 2 million dollar tournament in 10 days.
wow, so that's like what, almost 1/12th of TI7?

Not that guy, but I used to be "good". I had been playing Dota since 1.3 in fucking Reign of Chaos, and League since beta. I wish I could get all those thousands of hours back and instead played better genres than single-unit RTS.

Runes are going free and chests gift you champs lol

At least I don't feel surperior about videogames because I have nothing else going on in my life you pathetic loser.

It being a MOBA should be convincing enough.

yes, in the absolute 6-slot late game if you don't have buybacks and means to defend after losing that one person with a lane exposed, one person dying 10 minutes in is nothing when there's 15 deaths by then, don't be absurd

>DotA fucking sucks that's why it's dead and league has a 2 million dollar tournament in 10 days.
I mean, Dota had a 24.7 million dollar tournament a month ago, but sure I guess we can just cover our eyes and pretend that doesn't exist

>There's the keyword. Maybe nine years ago, yeah, but not anymore. That has no relevancy to anything.

So you've been talking about DotA Allstars and DotA 2 while everyone else has been talking about DotA. This is beyond "pretending to be retarded".

so you admit he won the argument?

This. Its a MOBA that removes all the painfully exhausting mechanics of DOTA and LOL, like in-match leveling and gold farming. Its also got plenty of map variety, as opposed to sticking to just one or two.

>Throwing money in a sinking boat makes it better

Retard.

If you play carry and you die once early, it can be completely devastating. It can set your team up for failure.

I don't feel superior. League is a fun game that becomes boring.
Dota is a boring game that becomes fun.

OP asked whether he should start playing League, and I recommended he do so, since it's the best game to start with.

As a general rule, adults shouldn't speak of things they know nothing about.

ITT: butthurt DotA babies get BTFO

>Oops, I got proven wrong! I'll just pretend people in this assfaggots thread are talking about an arbitrary 11 year old download of a dota map instead of what the game has been for the past 6+ years in vain attempt to cover my ass!

I'm sorry, but you're the one who's pretending to be retarded here.

Paid $50 bucks for skins 2 days ago, got banned the next day for calling someone a troll and toxic. Contacted customer support about it, told me to fuck off, asked for a refund on the RP I didnt even get to spend, told me to fuck off again. Uninstalled immediately.

dude, do you even play the game? none of that is true, in fact i am a shitter that supported antimage in a game yesterday that died 3 times before minute 10 because of mistakes, and we still won because we managed to make enough space for him to farm while supressing the enemy team. Moreover, this is not league where you have one bottom ADC and that's it. You really have no idea what you're talking about.

>dickwave about prize pools
>learn that the other game has a 12 times bigger prize pool
>o-oh yeah well prize money doesn't matter!!!

chargeback your card or something

Try it. You'll either hate it or become hopeless addicted to it. I tend to swing between the two.

It has a steep learning curve though.

...

their ultimates

>800 hours in league
>900 hours in dota 2

When do these games become fun?

tried that, the bank said they dont cover digital goods. pulled all my money out and got a new bank account. fuk um all. all this cause of Riot

After 800 hours get on a damn competitive team already you unbelievable shitter.

Oh and pro tip, you gotta say "I didn't make these charges idk where these charges came from I lost my card"

I think you can't appreciate what these games offer. You probably get angry at your teammates all the time.

I suggest you stop playing, all people like you, once they stop, feel great relief and consider themselves stupid for how long they played.
Stop now, leave the game to those who actually enjoy it.

"Why didn't I do it sooner?"

1 You don't have friend to play it with
2 You'll never become a pro, stop lying to yourself
3 DotA 2 is better in every way, so better to waste your time and sanity in it

Never.
With that time you could be a crack in most coop or multi player game

>DotA 2 is better
