DOTA 2 or LoL?
I picked up DOTA 2 for 0.02p (this is the actual figure- not an exaggeration) on steam community market.
I hear DOTA's micro-transactions are cosmetic only, but LoL affects weapons?
And DOTA's tutorial is confusing, boring, overly-long and generally crap. I still don't understand what I'm meant to do and I spent well over an hour going through it.
Which one has the bigger competitive scene? LoL or DOTA?
I hear LoL's community is more toxic. Is this true?
Which is easier to learn for a newbie like me? LoL or DOTA? |

1. league's microtransactions do not affect in-game at all. the runes which actually do affect the game can only be bought by in-game currency and don't even make very much of a difference.
2. depends on the day. league is more consistently larger, but dota 2 stomps lol every time the international rolls around.
3. the opposite actually. dota's community is far more toxic. league also has a horrible community but i have never seen someone intentionally feed bots just because i didn't do something he never told me (yes, this happened to me in dota). i have never seen the league community invade other forums to talk about how terrible dota 2 is just for a superiority complex. i've seen a metric ton of ragers and instalockers in league, but nothing as bad as my one game of dota.
4. league is much, much, much easier to learn. there are no obscure game mechanics that were originally bugs. there are no instant 700 damage nuke spells with a 4 second stun in league. dying doesn't hurt you as much, and you can go back to base whenever you feel like it. that's the #1 thing riot was aiming to do with league, make a more accessible version of dota. league sometimes feel like a pillow fight compared to dota.
but i recommend avoiding both games. they are black holes that suck up all your time, money, and social life, and they give you nothing but pure rage in return. source: i play league. |
