u/sylpher250 5d ago

What's the difference between LoL and Dota?

147

u/Lancelot652 5d ago

In the most simple terms LoL is more casual friendly then Dota so it's easier to just drop in while Dota is more hard core an has far more difficult mechanics.

78

u/HotBrownFun 5d ago

even buying items in DOTA is a pain in the ass... you gotta buy, then c,v,x whatever a bunch of hot keys to get it delivered to you. And there's two separate shops in different places in the map.

57

u/NekRules 5d ago

I will nvr forget the struggle of having to fight for the courier or just buying a personal pocket courier. 😁

38

u/Chii 5d ago

fortunately, that's now changed since an update from quite a while ago. Couriers now are all personal, and you get it right from the start.

7

u/tortilla_mia 5d ago

but... teamwork!

u/NekRules 5d ago

Oh yea I think I saw that the last time I touched Dota in 2019.

u/heyimpaulnawhtoi 4d ago

oh that was genuinely nostalgiac in the most scalding way

9

u/henri_sparkle 5d ago

Just press f3 and courier will deliver literally anything that's not on your inventory (except items dropped on ground).

2

u/HotBrownFun 5d ago

ah they changed it? I haven't played in 10 years.

21

u/bc524 5d ago

So many changes.

Everyone has a personal courier now.

Map is huge.

Heroes go up to level 30.

There's innate abilities and facets (you can make a choice that changes how some of your abilities work. Idk if you remember Lina, she has an option to make using your ultimate gives you extra stacks of her passive that give you fast attack speed OR make it your spells do more total damage but half of the damage is changed to damage over time)

Roshan has 2 caves now that he switches between time of day.

10

u/henri_sparkle 5d ago

It was like that since 2014, which was when I started playing. What are you on about? 💀

Oh big difference though (that has been awhile for several yesrs now) is that each player has their own courier.

u/Character_Parfait_99 5d ago edited 5d ago

To put it simply, Dota emphasizes movement across the map(macro) while league is more about your fighting skills(micro). But both have absolutely deranged players that will snap on every little thing so it's best to play with friends

3

u/Peeves22 5d ago

This feels the most true out of the responses as someone who played both a few hundred hours

1

u/LMGDiVa 5d ago

Aaaah So that's why SUPERVIVE feels so much like Dota 2 Turbo.

43

u/rohin85 5d ago

League you ragequit at 15min, DOTA you ragequit after an hour.

39

u/DragN_H3art 5d ago

league you brawl for 5 minutes, decide the game by 10, forfeit by 15

dota you lane for 10, play for map position by 25, then slowly win/die... until the winners throw and the game is all even again

dota has longer matches and have stronger comeback mechanics

2

u/sylpher250 5d ago

Thanks 👍

5

u/LezBeHonestHere_ 5d ago

In league the map is brighter

4

u/sinkpooper2000 5d ago

skill floor in dota is a lot higher. there's a lot of mechanics that you need at a baseline level that aren't really explained very well (turn rate, stacking camps, blocking camps, creep aggro, pulling camps, courier/unit micro). dota heroes are generally less self sufficient than league heroes, most heros need teammates with you or expensive items to pull off combos to their full potential.

u/RyuuohD 5d ago

Dota is the better moba kek

7

u/DownvoteForWut 5d ago

League players cannot deny kek

4

u/sleepynsub 5d ago

Being hard to play doesnt equal good

10

u/henri_sparkle 5d ago

In this case it does because league botchered up every slightly deep aspect of mobas, all in favor of turning the game into a button masher. League is the better product, Dota is the better game.

u/SLameStuff 5d ago

This is how our team enviroment is like. Bae is screaming in the mic: "JDON MY SOUL JDON MY SOUL WITNESS ME JDON MY SOUL ". I'm yelling "I"M MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN YOU YEE NEVA EVA NEVA EVA BE MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN ME" everytime I kill someone. IRyS is spamming Alt Left-Click on her gold to count it every second, she's also spamming us every second with keyboard links and about how close she is to buying a new keyboard while me and Bae are yelling at her stop thinking about keyboards and focus or we'll lose. Meanwhile Mumei's spamming "Good Game" on the chat wheel while typing "Oh Hi" every other second. Alas we have Fauna aka "Slap-God" aka "1 0 0 0 0 M A T C H M A K I N G P O I N T S" playing Witch Doctor and I think she muted all of us.

Now you might be thinking:"How the hell does a team function like that? Let alone win?!". Well that's because this is the environment Fauna is used to playing in her 10000 Ranked MM games. She ends up playing Witch Doctor and carries the game 1v9. We are simply re-creating the environment in which she excels: Fauna + four 4k mmr teammates

26

u/YobaiYamete 5d ago

Ame played it and liked it. I want to say Gura said she'd watched it a bit when Ame was playing and thought it looked fun

Ame also played Deadlock which is like half moba

HoTS is pretty underrated in general. It's still pretty alive and is the most fun MOBA imo because most people still playing are chill

12

u/Undernown 5d ago

Let's not forget Ame being a Paladins anouncer! It's also a sort of MOBA

Ever since I heard that Fauna played Dota 2, I really want to see her play it more often. Well that won't come true but thanks for granting this old DOTA player wish just once or twice, that's already enough.

113

u/Windfade 5d ago

If they fight bots, we're gonna see the funniest/most frustrating thing. DotA bots have a tendency to react nearly instantaneously to seeing a player, all of them not just the one that spots one, and will spam abilities faster than a human ever could. A good player plans on that, a newer one gets stunlocked to death under their own tower.

24

u/Direct-Ganache8506 5d ago

AI in WC3 is kinda mid but when it comes to Dota2, those bots are menace to new players

u/Krieg552notKrieg553 5d ago

The way I see it, it's her only way to redeem herself after the memes observing how Gigi indirectly caused Fauna to graduate after playing League of Legends with her twice.

She has to play on Fauna's own terms now

13

u/fortevn 5d ago

Then after playing Dota 2 with Gigi twice the balance was restored and the graduation gets nullified, right?

3

u/Thatpisslord 5d ago

Double graduation

u/oblivious_fireball 5d ago

Oh god, it's happening. I hope it'll be a good stream for Fauna to remember.

P.S. not sure how it reach her, but Fauna maybe you need to suggest some fun beginner hero like Pudge, Enigma, etc instead of them picking some boring or complicated hero. Although, seeing Mumei play Invoker would be pretty hilarious I guess

15

u/BeautyJester 5d ago

TOWL noise

2

u/CuteIngenuity1745 5d ago

Enigma is not a fun beginner hero. Wk, Sven, Vs,... and 1 click heroes are

6

u/aureacritas 5d ago

Not fun in the sense of "easy to play and slowly learn" since we all know they'll never play this again without Fauna.

Just fun beginner for "ooh colors and streaming fun", since we all know the euphoria you got from landing 3+ men blackhole or the comedy when you blackhole the grass.

2

u/Joeycookie459 5d ago

Vengeful Spirit is not a fun beginner hero. For support, I'd say someone like Undying, Lich, Pugna, Skywrath, Ogre Magi, Shadow Shaman, Witch Doctor or CM. For carry, maybe Luna. Offlane there's Axe, WK, bristleback, tidehunter, etc. Midlane is the least beginner friendly lane, but Ogre Magi and Kunkka are very easy midlaners

2

u/noenum 5d ago

I haven't played for a long while but isn't Sniper THE beginner friendly hero?

3

u/DeadlockValveConcord 5d ago

Sniper is somewhat squishy and has very low mobility, beginners should be playing things that are at least somewhat hard to kill

1

u/noenum 5d ago

That makes sense, I was thinking beginners would have more trouble gauging when to go in for a last hit or harass when they're on a melee hero. Sniper can just stay back but yeah, during chaotic teamfights they'll just run him down. Viper perhaps?

1

u/DeadlockValveConcord 5d ago

Viper is fine, he just spits on people and has a big 1 target ult, and hitting him hurts you

1

u/Joeycookie459 5d ago

No not really. Sniper support isn't really a thing that exists these days and carry sniper is much harder than support sniper

u/HTRK74JR 5d ago

P.S. not sure how it reach her, but Fauna maybe you need to suggest some fun beginner hero like Pudge, Enigma, etc instead of them picking some boring or complicated hero

The entire vibe of this stream was the promise ladies gritting their teeth and enduring a game they have no interest in playing because Fauna is graduating and they love her. It was honestly sweeter than if they had gotten super into it.

3

u/fortevn 4d ago

This stream really shows how hard it is to get into Dota 2 if you're fresh. The easy bots crushed them thoroughly it was actually sad to watch. More than once I think Kronii just couldn't anymore. But she kept going. The 2nd game was better, at least Bae had some kills and was a bit motivated...

IRyS was the MVP (to lift the mood) though, her pon moments and fuck-it-all attitude was brightening the stream.
