Dota 2

[TDRM]

Dota 2 > LoL, DotA a harder game, ofc depending on players, but in LoL you dosnt lose gold when killed and the graphic, god bless me...

[apulmadeekoud]

LoL would've been so much better if they give u graphic options to turn off cell shading

[singularity]

Essentially I think LoL has differentiated itself from DotA enough that many (most?) of it's players never even played DotA. DOTA2 seems like it will almost completely kill HoN and the more competitive scene.

I don't see how much DOTA2 can impact LoL because they are really different beasts. LoL is a lot more noob friendly and although Valve is going to try to make DOTA2 easier to get into, they've said they aren't going to compromise anything in order to make it more noob friendly (while LoL made many changed to the Dota format to make it easier to get in to).

Well the abbreviation on league of legend explains the game. LoL its so god damn funny looking so i wanna puke. can't even denie creeps in it :S seriously what the ****?

[Foxt]

The LoL metagame is completely different to Dota, tho they both have a lot in common. Once you get used to it, it's fun to play. LoL it's easier than dota, but still hard to master (though I belive it's also easier to master LoL than Dota).
There will be a lot of players that will try and play Dota 2, but most of the LoL playerbase won't even bother trying Dota 2.

In my experience Dota matches are far more longer than LoL games. Ashe's arrow isn't imba; it does sub par damage, it's a skill shot, it's her ultimate, and the character is utter shit until full items w/o arrow. The shop has recommended items, but on 85 percent of the heroes, the recommended items are terrible and aren't always situational for the enemy team's comp.

The good things on LoL are: the matchmaking system well done, runes and masteries to edit your strategy, original items, shop wll done, no leavers, free to play.
The other things i don't like are: the two extra skills you can choose (everyone can blink for example), easy to kill creeps, too much static compared on dota (when i say dota i mean dota and dota2), can't blot on the landscape (destroy trees), can't go through the trees, can't stop or deny creeps, can't stop enemies like you do with creeps.

At the end, in my opinion i prefer dota.

LOL is FUN, and you can actually play it atm, Dota 2 you cant unless ure beta testing so at this moment LOL>DOTA 2

[Scythis]

LoL is fun if you are 12 years old or if you really don't care about graphics. The gameplay is good at all, but the "view" you have of it is very childish.
I'm not ofending the LoL players, but I'm showing my point about this game;I really don't like it =(

I agree with you, but isn't that a bit much? If you are 12...? Aesthetics are nice and all, but the core of the game is the gameplay. While I'm pretty shallow in my taste of graphics, I would never judge a game's playerbase on something as immature as visual style...

[Xytaglyph]

err, yes and no. I have a few friends that want DOTA 2 and only DOTA 2 (i.e. myself) but I also have friends that want to play DOTA 2 but don't want to leave LoL behind. There are also some friends of mine that aren't interested in DOTA 2 at all and don't even plan on getting it. I often have to hold myself back from beating the crap out of them but they do have their opinion. And honestly, most of the real DOTA fanboys (i think anyways) are on HoN, just sayin.

[DarioTrogrlic]

LoL is pretty good and well played in world aswell but Dota 2 will trow LoL to knees ..

[docvader]

I don't think that people from LoL is going to move to Dota 2, LoL has a big players base and they are mostly people that played DotA and didn't like it and others than never played DotA, but they're not interested on it. Maybe a few LoL players gonna try Dota 2, and just a few of those are going to stay in Dota 2, because LoL's gameplay isn't the same that DotA/Dota2 at all.

So, I don't think that Dota2 is going to affect LoL. Dota/Dota2 stills better than LoL IMO.

[Dazzle]

League of Legends is just.. Sub-par compared to the other games in the Genre. It really isn't comparable to DotA or HoN except the EasyMode / CasualMode.

[Ates]

Serious played DotA + Hon now in a long time, tried LoL once i was like OMFG how can peoples even play this game , it was really bad idk why i dont like it but it was just bad one thang was good it was more teamplay then HoN ANYWAY.

I can understand they playin because of free or lower req.

They just made HoN free too heheh

[Strxex]

LoL is fun to troll with.
Sooooo many bad players in LoL its not even funny, one time my friend and I decided to troll in LoL, and we were the only one in our team who got kills. It was so funny, we put wards everywhere and only bought potions.

[Dazzle]

DotA 2 is infinitely superior because of the way that you can juke people, LoL bushes are so much less fun. That and creep denies.

[xtcx69]

I think lol and Dota 2 are going to have players jumping back and forth like when you get bored with lol you go play dota 2 and the other way around

[techno_mage]

LoL will definitely stay around, though I do think that LoL players will mostly atleast try Dota 2 i can see alot of them not liking it because of differences much like many Dota players dislike LoL because of the difference, and their will also probably be a large group of people who play both(like me, i play HoN/LoL right now but more focused on LoL lately as S2 has been annoying me lately.
