Today i saw a post about league of legends meta on this subreddit, even though the post was taking specifically about pro-play, many comments were shitting on the game balance, feel, riot games, etc.

I got kinda annoyed by seeing all those people who haven’t deved very deep and understood the game talking all that.

So i ask you guys, what makes dota good, or better than league in your opinion, i don’t know anything about the game, what makes it feel good for you?

I ask this to everyone but i’m more interested in the opinions of those here who have achieved a decent rank in both games (maybe 10% of the ladder or less)

This is not an attack on dota, i’m just curious

    I feel it’s more asymmetrically balanced than league. The heroes have far more interesting abilities and feel vastly more impactful than league heroes which are mostly homogenous now.

    This is a huge dealbreaker for me. Almost every League hero plays like another hero because they’re too afraid of overpowered abilities so nothing feels that impactful.

    I also like the hero design way better. Heroes in league are mostly veering towards gross K-pop designs and lore which just turns me away entirely.

    I find dota requires more strategic skill. You’ve probably heard this one already so I’ll elaborate if requested.

    I prefer the dota graphics (not a huge issue for LoL or anything, just a minor preference. I think dota looks better).

    The items in dota are more interesting

    After all of that dota is also completely free. Every hero is given for free and doesn’t need to be earned or unlocked. That alone rises their ability to create highly competitive heroes because they aren’t trying to sell them.
