EDIT at 4:30

I messed up the position of the Off Lane and Safe Lane. On Radiant, (The Left Side) The Safe Lane is in the bottom and and Off Lane is in the top. On Dire, (the right side) The Safe Lane is in the top and the Off Lane is in the bottom. Thank you to everyone who pointed this out for me! <3

"If everything is OP then nothing is OP" is the best kind of balance.

As a 10 years dota2 player, watching this is just wholesome, the curiosity in discovering new mechanisms, trying out new heroes, it’s truly great experience

As a league vet jumping to Dota 2. The thing I like the most is that there are always options. Counter picked and abandoned? Just jungle, or go gank somewhere. Stack camps to increase xp and gold production for your team. Knowing which option is right and wrong is difficult, but you are not the only one making those choices. League is like a corridor, while Dota is like a maze.

As Dota veteran, what I find hardest about League is trying to unlock all the champs.

[shukloshoshe]

This man buys bkb on day 5, after 3000 hours I still go for damage items. That's the 10 years experience he came with :)

"no jungle position"

....i'm installing the game right now

Just stumbled on your content about Dota2 and I enjoyed it so much! More of these contents, please!!! I've been a player of Dota for over a decade and it's a great feeling to watch a video of someone who's just starting and learning the game. It gave back memories of when I started to play with my cousin, and up until now, we're still playing as a team. Keep it up!!!

[Kaboomc]

Short answer: yes
Long answer: Yes it is harder than League.

You had the honour of being greeted by Legion and Spirit Breaker on your first game, you died with pride soldier

Finally a league player who actually paid attention to the tutorial, watched guides and learned the game. Great video man, hope you continue playing Dota.

[Dezdichado]

My man is actually doing a subtle commentary on how everything is reversed in Herald with this offlane <--> safelane switch there. Bravo Vince.

[YodaZemunski]

At the 2:30 mark, I can already see the masterclass editing of the transition, complimented by the “comparison” topic. Smooth af. Subbed by a long time dota and league fan.

As a 15 year Dota veteran this video was very enjoyable and wholesome. First time I have watched anyone talk about the new player experience in a positive way instead of just complaining all the time. It also really made me get a new perspective on this game I have put an insane amount of hours into. When everyone is so negative and doomy in the community, this was a much needed moment of positivity and joy that I struggle to find anywhere else, so thank you a lot. I think you have a gift for communication when you can show so much positivity while still being accurate to the source, without falling into some trite both sides, "good AND bad" cliche writing that everyone is so obsessed with.

really interesting take on the game. I haven't played LOL for a long while now, but I just remember that the fights were super fast and everything was decided in like 5 seconds. there isn't much comeback mechanics in LOL like farming for items and stuff to reach a timing, if one team gets a head, they can push their advantage without much contest to the end of the game (seen that in just a few pro matches of LOL I have watched as well). Then again I'm just an average dota player and still don't know very much about both games on the macro scale.

liked the review overall <3

32 years old here; have been playing DOTA since the almost first release of Dota 1, as well as Dota 2. That's significant because I have nearly 20 years of experience with the Dota franchise. Additionally, I have had a LoL account since 2012, giving me 12 years of LoL experience as well.

I can clearly say that the difference is significant enough to compare LoL to Tetris and Dota 2 to GTA 6. Being so detailed and complicated means that a new player needs to spend long hours just to learn it. You can teach LoL mechanics to someone in 2 days, and the rest is about mastering characters and gaining experience. However, in Dota 2, you need about 100 hours of gameplay to learn all the details and mechanics to play like a casual player. The current version of Dota 2 has been simplified almost twice to reach a more players.

For the past year, I have preferred playing LoL because it's simpler to play, and I don't plan on returning to Dota anytime soon. Even if I were to return, so many mechanics must have changed by now that the thought of trying to learn them all gives me a headache.

The one thing I instantly notice from the gameplay of Dota 2 is how just how much prettier the map is (at least to me, a 10+ yrs League vet)! And the games heroes actually look like they could be straight out of monstrous fantasy settings, like the worlds of MTG or DnD, instead of the more cartoony and marketable look League's champions go for. I think for someone, like me, who enjoys monster champions, over the generally aesthetically pleasing hot people, plus the macro gameplay, this was definitely an eye opener to a whole new world!
Nevertheless, amazing video as always Dimple! Keep up the great work. :-)<3 GGWP

Learning dota was probably the peak of my enjoyment of the game. I still have fun playing games and all of that 4000+ hours later, but the sense of wonder and discovery you get when learning the game can never truly be replaced

[justShou]

As someone who played both, I appreciate the fact you spent actual time learning the game before coming to a conclusion

[Insharai]

nice vid, solid review. Almost got me wanting to give it another try xD Dota has so many awesome game modes too like the draft format for abilities and things like angel arena. might have to give it another shot since it looks like they've done a ton of work cleaning up the tutorial (got turned off when I had it chain crash on tutorial back in the day xD)
