very late to the party but i was just too lazy to ask before. i loved dota but i already quit years ago and i really dont know anything about these kinds of games anymore. (this, hon, dota 2). the map from what i see is pretty much the same but is the gameplay different? --- IQ Test - click here | |
It's very different. The map has the same general shape, and it's still a 5v5. That's pretty much where the similarities end. The meta is hugely different, and cc isn't stupidly op in this game. For instance, there's no such thing as a 3 second spammable AoE stun like Sven's. And there's no such thing as a massive AoE field that stuns all enemies inside for stupid periods of time while the carry who made it hacks away at everything inside it. Roles are much more defined. A carry is a carry, and building them any other way will end in a loss. The biggest difference I'd say is the addition of AP and AD scaling on abilities. Here, you build damage to deal damage, whereas in DotA you can build fulltank and do the same amount of damage (which is an utterly stupid idea). --- Evelynn is my waifu. Help... Me... | |
Actually, CC is just as stupidly OP in this game. Its just not as prevalent. Case in point on the top page of this forum: the amumu ban thread. --- http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/1678/87591610.jpg | |

Yeah not only do you build a lot more damage in DotA compared to this game's stupid tanky dps, but Sven's stun is 2 seconds and it's highly telegraphed and you have to be standing around the initial stun target, and you can dodge it in a lot of ways (blink, phase, manta, illusion ability, magic immunity, stasis) There's a reason there's melee carries You have no idea what you are talking about --- You'll see - Eternal love, that's what this is This feeling that I just cannot resist...

You're better off asking this question in the Dota board where there are a lot less idiots. Bascially this game is baby's first Moba, in the most basic terms it's much more simplified in terms of gameplay and what not, while it is much easier to learn and get into it also has a drastic decrease in depth, but as long as you have fun then I suppose it doesn't matter. --- Kitty Kat --> /\_/\ .................=(^_^)= | |
League of Legends has a much higher skill ceiling than Dota Dota is pretty much casual city |
