I mean, ive played some dota in the past, i have about 200h on it, not nearly as much as league tho. But IME, especially for solo, league is just nicer overall. The mechanics for champions seem a lot more polished these days, and it is a lot more action focused, you have to worry about macro much less. The games are also like 50% shorter in league. As a solo player I find league to be a lot more laid back, where I can just play the champ more than play the game, if that makes sense.
To each their own of course, Im not saying one game is better than the other, but it is a hard sell to transition league to dota.
You’re right, DoTa is a lot more chaotic, but there’s a lot of action on the map! Macro play is not necessarily doing nothing in this game and often time fight breakout for runes, etc…
I think it’s about preference rather than reality because we had two completely different experiences so yeah, I love League but I don’t see the point of playing it now!
While I'm League hater, I would love if the Dota meta shifted to shorter games like League has. I really miss the strategic depth of normal/ranked, but realistically if I want to play more than one match per evening, I have to play turbo mode.
Turbo has immortal players in it, I've gotten up to 4 immortal players in one game of my turbo players, average ancient-divine rank games pretty often
I actually play a lot of "Turbo mode" in DotA 2, everything is 2x gold 2x exp. Games end faster! Towers have less armor and less HP. Games end at 12 minutes for stomps and 20ish minutes for even games
Hmm, is there a ranked mode for it?
It has auto hidden rank you can check your average rank of the mmr in the game afterwards with 3rd party websites
In league non-ranked matchmaking is pretty all over the place. It is also supposed to be mmr based. In a single session i can play vs everything from iron to emerald, how is it in dota?
There's hidden mmr so the game calculates your rank based on your impact in the game, it easily detects smurfs as well. So you just play and you'll end up with people similar skilled in Unranked
