Ok. But I'm taking about Dota 2 and Lol. Not the mod that came before both. I was well aware that it was originally a mod.
I was just saying that Dota 2 was similar to League of Legends which I knew about first.

that makes absolutely no loving sense

im just gonna stop talking to you now because im not going to achieve anything here

[ChexGuy331]

No I was saying Dota 2 looks like League because League came out first.

???

if you're going to be so brown town about stupidly irrelevant technicalities, there's no point in talking to you at all.
Dota 2 aims to be the SAME loving GAME so for all intents and purposes DOTA=DOTA 2 YOU STUPID forget

look, dota 2 is literally a carbon copy of the first dota, just improving on some old mechanics and on a modern engine with modern gfx

you can technically say that dota allstars and dota 2 are the same thing

lost five games in a row.

low level community pls. i'm trying to learn this game, not be driven to commit Self Delete.

[kevin 51l]

i can't make my friends play this game because all we play is LoL

all i want is something different for a game or twooo~

(also this game is 100x more fun with the right hero and friends)

Why exactly are you expecting to win a game you're only just learning? More importantly, how much can I bet on you playing matchmaking before practice bots?

[ChexGuy331]

losing is a form of learning unless you're getting rapestomped

:(

i've practiced plenty. it's just frustrating to be 36% win rate when you do well in most of your matches, only to be dragged down post laning phase. for example, i 3/0 lion in lane as zeus mid, but we get stuffstomped because sf/lina both fed 0/6 in 10 minutes at top and a 7/0/5 sven has free reign of the map.

ah well.

i feel like the issue isn't that i'm "super leet" or whatever when compared to my usual teammates, it's just that i have a small foothold in terms of skill and they usually do not - or they try to apply knowledge from League of Legends other MOBAs directly to Dota 2 and they get destroyed because of it. for example, starting boots + tangos which isn't optimal on anyone, as far as i know anyway, except potentially for Ursa.

also dark seer + ursa lanes are silly and fun.

[tikitai]

boots tango has never been optimal
ever

it could only work for juggernaut and then it still isnt a good idea

also, just because you dont win it doesnt mean youre doing bad, just seek to improve rather than to win
