Screw Dota 2

Screw League also.

Screw all of you MOBA fans. Give me one good reason I should play MOBA's. They make you rage and they take up way too much time As a note, I'm actually quite good at league (almost diamond levelish when I'm trying and if i bothered to do ranked. Wry play this though?

It's more fun than League. And the tournaments are entertaining as shit, like a TV show that only plays new episodes every day.

So it's just like league of legends!?

>more fun than

There's more skill involved in Dota.

Well, league takes particular skills too. Sounds like its a trade off, steeper learning curve for more intricacies end game. Wouldn't that increase raging from baddies to good players though?

Trade off? Dota includes all the skill of LoL and then adds more. LoL is just Dota Jr.

Red headed step childs have their uses. Who else would you hit when you're angry?

I can't really play MOBA's anymore because of the "time-requirement"

Something always happens to interrupt XD

Honestly there isnt a huge requirement for mobas i think. The biggest problem is the unfulfilled feeling after a bad game which makes you want to go again

I almost want to put this in my signature.
Sorry that's completely off topic.
Also I have yet to pay Dota. I don't know much about it.

Fuck MOBAS indeed, they're so goddam addicting, but to be able to play you have to know what every damn character can do....

I have, it can be fun and frustrating all at the same time.

I'm kind of the other way around. If I win, I don't want to stop. If I lose, I stop wanting to play. My friends and I usually just play until we lose.

Which bothered me at first until I realized it's a lot easier to learn than Pokemon.

Nope.

Dota 2 is free for all LG members, if you want it.

How is it easier tolearn than pokemon? I learned all about pokemon in my 3 days of playing. MOBAs though. UGh.

You didn't learn 151 Pokemon and their moves in 3 days.

Listen my 2 years of watching the carton didn't count. Watch as many pro Dota streams as you like doesn't make you better without practice!

If you were allowed to watch DotA 2 professional gaming streams for two years, and then you were allowed to practice for 3 days, you would be an expert. By the time you started playing, you would know the names of every character, you would know all of their moves, you would know what characters are good against other characters (Just like pokemon, when a charmander and mudkip fight you know that water rapes fire) and in the 3 days of practicing you would be able to play 12 games playing just four hours a day, and I guarantee you by the end of that time you would be pretty god damn good.

Sounds like someone who's never played Moba. You'd be average at best without technical skill to back it up, something Pokemon doesn't need

Sure! I'll give it a shot. C: I just need to remember what my steam is first.

C: =

When you remember your Steam, add me. Link in sig. And in postbit.

I watched a couple Dota 2 videos and I don't really like it.

Dota 2 videos don't make sense unless you know what each hero does.

Requiring more skill doesn't really necessarily make DotA 2 a better game, or more fun.

They're just different.

I couldn't try it anyway, my computer sucks.

For the most part. It means a steeper learning curve, but it also means a higher skill cap, which means pro games are infinitely more interesting with ever-changing meta games.

But why convince you when you can just not play it and everyone lives in peace?

kthx

Because what kind of life is a life without Dota 2?

One deserves to live in the dark if one needs reasons to play Dota 2.

You called?

I remember playing DOTA when it was still just a WC3 custom game and I used to love it. Then years later I played LoL and absolutely hated its mechanics at the time (I believe it was shortly after launch that I tired it) I may give DOTA 2 a shot.

(Oh snap just realized the last post date, my bad)

Don't worry about it, you can bump any topic as long as your post is contributory. There are no grave digging rules anymore. Just a no spam rule.

If you don't have a copy of Dota 2 yet, it's free for all LG members. Just hit me up on Steam.
