What do you guys think of both games? Are they similar enough to where one can be better than the other? Which do you prefer?

I almost missed a Test question because of LOL. Almost put that instead of "League of Nations"

They're basically the same thing.

Now if we were arguing DotA2/LoL vs Smite, we could have a lively discussion.
I'd be rooting for Smite.

Well to me they are.

They're both top down MOBA's and owe most of their core gameplay to the Defense of the Ancients mod for Warcraft III.

I probably just have bad taste or I'm madcuzbad@moba's so please don't roast me.
but seriously, im atrocious at Dota and Lol
I liked Smite cause the gameplay felt more exciting but that's just me

fps games are first person shooters

fps games are all the same

side scrolling platformers are side scrolling and platformers

all side scrolling platformers are the same

no?

"fps games are all the same"

Yeah, CoD is fast-paced while battlefield has huge maps. Halo is obviously not in this time period, and i'm too lazy to type any other fps games that are completely different.


Little big planet for example is nothing like mario cart besides the actual side-scrolling atribute. Yeah it just kind of depends on preferences and how much you are into the games.

"plz explain how it is objectively better in many ways"

-more servers. it's also free to switch between them, as opposed to league charging like $20 for a server change. not to mention league doesn't even have US east servers, which even ghetto knock-off korean FPS games have. funnily enough, they do have a server on the east coast; it's the latin america north server

-more balanced. please don't pretend league's rotation of 2-3 FOTM champions in each role can be considered balance. there's a reason a small portion of champions actually see tournament play, while a large portion of dota heroes see tournament play

-actually has an ingame replay system

-has an abandon system

-has many more customizable cosmetic options, all of which are free to obtain as opposed to league's very limited and entirely premium selection

-dota heroes have much more variety. a main reason of league's poor balance is that champions of the same role often are so similar that one will essentially be a better version of the others. almost every champion of each role in LoL plays the same and builds the same

-dota heroes have far better models and far more VO lines. league champions average, what, 30 or 40 lines? dota heroes average 200-300. even the newer league champs only have like 100, while the newer dota heroes reach around 500 lines.

-dota tournaments have significantly larger prize pools (despite being a significantly smaller game)


you might say "well most of those are just trivial or nitpicking," but when even stuff that apparently "doesn't matter" has such a huge gap in quality, it reflects on the overall quality of each game.

you're right on multiple points, but a few things i want to point out:

"there's a reason a small portion of champions actually see tournament play"

74% of all champions have been picked in competitive play this season, and the season still is rather new.

"-dota tournaments have significantly larger prize pools (despite being a significantly smaller game)"

dota is very very top-heavy. you see the international with multi-million prize pools and a few other established tournaments for lesser prizes but there is no reliable income. riot doesn't pay anywhere near as much for the world championship but they pay every team in the LCS a pretty decent salary, enough to make a living off of. this is excluding the end-of-split and tournament money, and other methods of money making (sponsors, streaming, etc). of course there are huge flaws with the lol esports scene (mostly about how closed it is, riot controls everything)

but yeah riot really needs to actually get their stuff together, yeah they have a ridiculously low budget foundation which makes it hard to add features, but they have the most popular game in the world, they've got the money to fix their game.
