DOTAFire :: DotA 2 Builds & Guides for Hero Strategy

+Rep Report

Dota 2 | LoL

First of all, no ranting here - both games are good in their own way.

So I've been playing League of Legends with my friends a lot lately, and we've been enjoying it a lot - mostly because of how easy and relaxing the game is when compared to a dota 2, which we take really seriously. (Contrary to LoL where players seem to suck at positioning and do not seem to grasp simple game mechanics, at least in our level 20s pubs. Though it's definitely not that way in ranked)

We did this as a break from stressful and competitive dota matches and decided the break was over, and BOY was the break not worth it when we came back.

Long story short, our 1 month break from dota 2 really seemed to lower our game - bad lane control, bad decision making, pressing spacebar repeatedly to try to focus to the hero.. everything.

And while it was a nice experience and LoL was really fun, we'd really like to be back on track in terms of skill.

To the people who play both dota 2 and LoL regularly - how do you manage?

I play both regularly. I focus more on Dota so i put more time into it than LoL. I would play like 3 games a day, more if my team is online. Then i will play like 1 or 2 League of Legend games. This way you won't lose your skill in either game. All you really need is to play at least one game of both Dota and LoL. You can play more of whatever one you want to focus on.

I've played league probably more than dota2 but not more than dota1 and dota2, so I know where you're coming from. The thing with league is that it doesn't encourage not dying, and that makes a HUGE inpact. Oh I died ? free trip to base and not lose any gold, the lanes are really short in lenght compared to DotA and that basically ruins everything. Because in dota2 you need positioning otherwise you will get punished more than the whole team, you need to go back to fountain by foot but you have gold go tp back to lane, but if you die, you don't have money for teleporting back.

League has this extremely bad habbit of rebranding the same heroes over and over again, not being too inventive with their skills whereas dota with each addition they bring something new to the table. But I digress.

All in all DotA is the superior game because of the punishment that makes the game hardcore not softcore.

Once in a blue moon I'll play with my friends but I wouldn't regularly play both. Other than the basic core skills, it's rather annoying to play. For example, I can't animation cancel and that I basically have to farm for like 15 minutes if their mid doesn't leave lane.

LoL has become too uninteresting for me to follow regularly and play so I'll only log on if my friends ask me too or if they need a 5th.
