If I was completely honest with myself, I would have to say that I actually like DoTA 2 more.
So, why do I keep coming back to LoL?

Potential.

"dota is dota is dota." It's fun. It makes you feel powerful yet vulnerable. And it's free. O so free.

But it will always be DoTA. It will never innovate on the formula. In a way, that's half the reason I love it. But on the other hand, I love seeing all the neat stuff that Riot comes up with. Many of their recent champs have featured new and interesting mechanics. S3 is (finally)shifting towards more active-orientated items. Riot has the freedom mix up the gameplay whenever they deem necessary.

So, while I must admit that DoTA still holds my heart, LoL will always keep me coming back due to this one major advantage.

I feel that Dota is a game that just has more depth and is more dynamic in its mechanics and yet is just as easy to pick up (perhaps a little bit harder). Strangely enough I find it more fun.

Dota has alot of neat things to do while playing the game.
But i dont like how you can get free champions in dota.

Both games are fun, but I love Dota 2 for all its worth. LoL is just too linear in its gameplay compared to Dota 2. LoL's meta hasn't shifted in years using the same 2 bot, 1 top lane, 1 middle, 1 jungle strategy and a lot of the top tier champions there are constant picks & bans.

In Dota 2, a pro gamer can pick up a tier 5 hero and dominate the game with them (see Dendi), hero roles are very well defined, and there are such legitimate strategies as having a tri-lane to protect the carry or having a semi-carry ganker who dominates early but falls off late game roam the map.

LOL is incompetent because there is no way to stop a champion from achieving late game power.

The irelia that died 4 times in lane to garen still gets to kill garen at 35 minutes (unless garen somehow 100% zones her from tower farm and never leaves lanes).

Why can't you play both?

u kidding??

of course LoL
