DotA is better. Case Closed. DotA is a adventure-action MOBA game in which a player gets to choose from a variety of heros. (over 110) In LoL the player gets 10. 10. Someone PLEASE tell me how that is better. Well, sure after you level up some you can unlock new heros but have fun leveling up to level 30. Plus, the level up system in League is stupid, just because you play more shouldn't mean you get perks that newer players don't. It needs to be an even playing field. Like in DotA teams can configure heros that work well with each other to take out the other team. Skill and knowing the mechanics are CRUCIAL to being successful and the learning curve is intense. As with LoL, but in my case I started with DotA. Got better after about 70 games, Enough to call myself a skilled DotA player (Still rough around the edges). I downloaded League one day because my friends told me too. Played it. And wrecked, not only my friends, but randoms too. My first game I went 8-4-10. FIRST GAME. Can you tell me how you preformed your first game? How can League, forcing people to either spam play or buy extra "champions", be a better game then this massive, free to play, skillful game we all know and love called DotA. I'd love to hear some arguments to this. Report Post

LOL is best!!! Lead of legends is just better in it's maps, champions and graphics. I'm a lv 30 in Lol and I haven't gotten bored of it. Other games like Starcraft and Dota make me bored because champions are free which gives you no challenge and the team fighting in LOL is way better than Dota. Report Post

Dota is better 100 than LOL Damn how the hell can someone who played both dota and lol can't see that dota is much better ?? I played LOL it was a little interesting but the graphic sucks too much ... The heroes of LOL have a good picture but in the game they don't are like the pictures at all . And in LOL you must buy the champs and there is just 3 gamesmode i think . But Dota is just super interesting their are many gamesmode to play the heroes are more realist and the hero in the game is like on the picrture and the graphic is so good ! And their are many items and i correct a mistake that made a LOL fan . Their are an items who make the ulti stronger -_- just play dota it's better than LOL 100 times ;) Report Post

I've played both Imho, Dota is a lot more rewarding. Ya, there's only one map, but honestly there are so many complex elements to the game that its not like you need different types of maps like the ones featured in LoL.



I prefer the characters and graphics in Dota. To me, League of Legends characters and graphics look a bit too cutesie and cartoonish for me to really take it seriously and get into the game. Dota has a larger variety of characters that range from the badass-looking bloodseeker to the cuteness of puck. Speaking of characters, I like that the characters in Dota are ALL FREE, while in League, they only give out a few free characters that they switch around every so often (I think its 10 charcters? Don't remember). This means that for starting players and players that don't want to spend tons of money, you can choose from a larger variety of characters to learn the game from.



The point shop in Dota is also cooler. Again, its a lot more complex. This means that you can choose to build items more to suit your playing style or help you with individual games. Along those lines, the Dota guides are extremely helpful. If you have no idea how to play a character or even play at all, the guides can help you at least gain a general idea of what your role is, and they even help you decide exactly what to level up or buy and when to do so.



Lastly, the complexity of Dota makes the game more rewarding. It may be harder to learn, but that just means that you'll appreciate it even more once you start getting the hang of it. It can also help you be more patient when you get stuck with kind of noobish players on your team. We've all been that noob player before that just wants to crawl under a rock. We understand.



This is a popular debate among us pc gamers. Can't wait to see what others have to say! :) Posted by: Rosalind.Fraser Report Post

DOTA is a game of variety while LOL forces you into a very limited role which inevitably leads to much more interesting games. As a whole DOTA is a much more challenging game than LOL, but there are many seemingly paradoxical steps to get to this conclusion.

The argument starts by conceding that many of the individual aspects of LOL are more complex than those in DOTA.

1.) Each individual hero in LOL is more difficult to understand than each individual DOTA hero. The LOL heroes rely on combo-ing your abilities in a certain way. If you don't fully understand how your 4 abilities and passive work, you will be terrible at your hero in competitive play.

2.) All of the items in LOL have more complicated and wider variety of effects than DOTA. There are more interesting auras, team buffs, and random small boosts.

3.) LOL has runes, masteries, and two choose your own skills.



To the passerby these may seem like arguments for why LOL is a more difficult game but here is how they simplify LOL.

When you HAVE to combo all of your skills in a certain way, your character changes from having 4 different things he can do into having a single thing he MUST do. This casts you into a role.

Complex items force a single "optimum build"... And this casts you into a role. Setting up masteries and runes force you into a role.

In LOL, you are caste into a role with an EXTREMELY limited set of options of what you can actually do within a game. This simplifies the decision making too much and makes the game a lot more boring. The mechanics of the game even support this. In a game of DOTA, anyone can carry a game if they get far enough ahead. In a game of LOL, only certain heroes will carry... Because it is their role.



A competitive game of LOL is decided by your hero picks, each player's skill with that individual hero, and a few in-game battlefield decisions.



A competitive game of DOTA is decided by your hero picks, each player's skill with their individual heroes, ones overall understanding of the game of DOTA, and MANY in-game battlefield decisions. Report Post

League of Legends (LoL) Has may features that surely attracted millions of people nationwide. For Example, the roller coaster adventure of the players playing LoL is better than Dota 2. This makes LoL more exciting, fun, and easily understood by amateur gamers. While Dota 2 only excels in its Graphics, which is really complex and the map was confusing, according to my recent interviews with Dota 2 beginners... Report Post

Dota 2 is way better than League of Legends!!! Dota 2 is way better in many ways. For example their graphics and gameplay. Also some characters in League are copies of Dota characters. For example Warwick's Blood Scent ability in League is simular to Bloodseekers Thirst in Dota 2. So you know what I mean... DOTA 2 WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN LEAGUE OF LEGENDS. Report Post

Dota 2 is better... Dota 2 is more for mature players, and also is bigger more complex in game play and diversity in mechanics and tricks. Lol its just cartoonish vanilla more which is still fun but not bigger than Dota 2 in game play and mechanics and items, Dota 2 requires more skills and experience to learn than lol. Report Post

Dota 2 and Lol are almost the same, almost Dota 2 and Lol are similar in a lot of aspects, however Dota 2 seems more superior. It has better graphics and it's more challenging to play. If you're just playing for fun or casually go for either one, but if it's a challenge you want go for Dota :)
