How can you not like Dota 2

I would if I could, but I can't play dota 2.

In dota, do you get all the champions up front, or do you have to unlock them like in LoL?

On repeat.

I think you will get all the champs up front, but there will be micro payments that you can buy to get in-game items that help (like pay 50 cents at start of game and you get X item; that's what I've heard anyway).

As far as interface, I'm not sure what ImsaKidd means exactly, but it could be a few things, and I can't say he's wrong. The camera scrolling felt very awkward to me at first. Like, it's hard to have both yourself and your opponents on the screen sometimes in the laning phase. The shop is also clunky (not that LoL's is particularly less clunky), and the courier takes getting used to (but is an improvement over no courier). On the other hand, spectator mode is infinitely better than LoL. You can literally watch high level games all day inside the client with full vision of every player and multiple camera formats. And on my slow PC, Dota 2 runs better/loads faster.

For me it's just a more complex and deep game. The whole idea of going back to a meta that is set in stone as tanky DPS top, AP mid, ganky jungler, and ranged AD carry + healer support bot, seems crazy when you could play Dota instead where there is lots of variety. And although I liked LoL's cartoony graphics, Dota's clean style has won me over.

(Sorry if anyone thinks I'm douching up the thread by talking about Dota, I happened to check in yesterday and wanted to be helpful and suggest people give it a shot when they get a chance.)

Learn Econ

Of course u want 3's cause every bit counts... but busting your IP for one 3 when 2 twos is clearly the better buy is just typical penis

I drove a chevy NOVA until i could afford the Bently. But damn u you lost all that potential pussy if you would just chilled and bouht a damned prius on your way to CEO Status. I dont care if im wrong cause its a rare occasion worhty of celebration but I was one of those guys who saved for threes while missing out on having full pages... no full lvl 2 ap pages.. no full lvl 2 tank pages... no lvl 2 crit page// cause i was told i gotta focus on getting them 3's son(Because they are beter than 2's and shiny).

I did the math and it was FU RIOT moment. I had played myself, essentially limiting my versatility and effectiveness(

) and broader LOL experience but who cared cause i had 2 pages AD lvl3's and they were blingin lookin good. Now to slowly build that ap page...ONLY LVL 3 THO

But who really gives a **** about the come up, u know a playa gots 11 or 12 of every lvl 3 just to stunt on these lames PLUS them LIMTID EDITONs I aint even gone talk about cause people be hatin on slime with his rune game on loudpack

-------
Addendum
yea just going for 3's is prob the best if u just wanna play 1 or two charachters while desperately trying to create a winning record at ranked. But if one is enlightened and values a diverse gaming experience not limited to the meta morays of ranked lvl 3's are UNDENIABLY ( MATH AND STUF) gonna limit your branching out with runpages for other chars/types/class we/e. I just cant whore an op char out game after game...just not my style. Wheres the swag in that, but to each his own.

The reason I think lvl 2 runes are worthless is because of how easy it was for me to get the lvl 3s that I needed.

Basically all I did was buy lvl1 runes while going up to 30. Once I reached 30 I had plenty of IP to make full runepages for generic AP, AD and jungler which was quite good enough. I didn't use much IP on champs up to that point. Now I split my IP about evenly between getting more esoteric runes and getting new champs.

I feel like the only thing dota has on lol is its heros are 10X more interesting. Lol had interesting and powerful heros but they nerfed them into the cold ground.

I'll play it some more when it goes live I guess

Depends on which you play first. I've played every hero in DOTA and understand them all pretty well (I still suck with some like spectre), so coming to LoL, I was pretty intrigued by some of the more interesting things, like dual passive/actives in one ability. Sure, some abilities remind me of DOTA, like Blitzcrank's rocket fist & pudge's hook. I am, however, somewhat irritated at a nonlevel playing field (ie. runes/masteries) even if they provide increased depth. The idea that DOTA 2 may be implementing some form of pay for extra benefits is a little troubling I guess, maybe I'm just trying to find faults.

Punch Dancer · 02-09-2012, 08:06 AM

^ na, I would never pay a game where you had to pay .50 at the beginning of the game or risk a disadvantage. That's suuuuuuper ghey

kyleb · 02-09-2012, 08:23 AM

The best part about LoL comparatively (if you ignore denying, which I think is retarded) are the skill shots. There aren't many in DotA and there are tons in LoL which are awesome. Heroes like Vayne are non-existent in DotA - ones with mediocre basic abilities that become amazing when deployed skillfully.

The only thing that would be lolz to port from DotA would be Refresher Orb. huehue karthus

soraka ftw?

BTW the .50 cents was a hypothetical amount I came up with. All I can say with some confidence is they are planning a micro-transaction model.
