At this point, League of Legends is completely irrelevant. Watch/Play Dota2 - it was where it started and where it’s at (although to be exact Warcraft III’s DotA Allstars spawned from Warcraft III’s AOS custom map). The game has a team voice chat which eliminates toxicity almost completely, and taunts/high-fives/spray tags which gives interaction a positive twist. The game mechanics are so much more complex, and thus challenging and entertaining than the copycat League of Legends.
The International 10 tournament is actually ongoing (without crowd unfortunately this year) and the prize pool is set at $40M - including $18M for the top #1 team.
- nindalf 5y agoEven as a Dota fan of 10+ years, this comment misses the mark. This website’s audience is mostly North American. LoL dominates that region by a wide margin.
- bob1029 5y agoDoes dota2 still have that ridiculous turning speed "feature" for all the heroes? I tried to play that game and lasted about 30 seconds when it became clear that simply moving my hero around was going to be a hateful affair.
- bronzeage 5y agoIt's important feature, makes a real trade-off between fighting back and fleeing. Otherwise you could do both. Dota also has many mechanics around where you're facing, getting damage reduction from certain angles, or even getting stunned when facing towards someone. If it was instant these things won't work.
- Bishonen88 5y agoIrrelevant to whom? You? League is one of the most played games in the world. At this very moment, it is the third most-streamed game on twitch, with 16k more people watching than dota 2.
- Levitz 5y agoIt's frankly impressive how even 10 years down the line the dota playerbase still holds a grudge.
