Why the fuck do people say League's champs are more boring than Dota's heroes again?

LoL's champ kits have so much intricacies and interactions weaved into each ability, with so many things applying on-hit effects, almost every skill having a passive and an active component, innate passives, scaling damage values, etc. etc.

Meanwhile Dota has heroes with like two passives which take up skill slots and even the actives are just completely braindead simple most of the time, usually being just simple nukes and stuns which are boring as shit.

Look at this fucking update which just came out too - when's the last time dota had a patch this huge?

Sniper's aoe also gives vision and the "slow" is a minibash which stops you dead in your tracks unless they changed it since I lass played.

I don't really know Viper aside from fighting him mid is annoying.

Drow Ranger can orb walk with her slow making it more than "just a slow". The silence actually synergizes with her ult because she doesn't get the agi bonus when enemies come into melee range. Not to mention countless other uses it has because of the push back.

Comboing Lina's abilities takes skill unlike LoL. In fact Lina's ult is in line with many abilities in LoL so you should be happy playing her right?

I know this is bait but some people really believe these things.

They're called rightclick heroes for a reason.
But that doesn't automatically make them boring.

Look at Sven

>AOE buff that increases movement speed and armour
>passive that gives you cleave damage
>ultimate that straight up just boosts your damage, also makes you rage incarnate

As simple as you can get with a melee carry.

I never have a boring time when I play Sven because he's so fucking mindless, just throw your stun, pop your ult and go fucking ballistic, shit will die, hard. Never a calm time when you play Sven because you'll be yelling your lungs out whenever you engage.

If you want a slightly complex carry, then just play faceless void (especially now with his reworked timewalking stuff) or weaver

Both games have boring ass heroes that just run in your face in smash keyboard and more complex champions that idiots play to make them feel superior over the masses while missing all their attacks.

Both games sucks, league is normie central with some fucktards as devs and Dota is stuck in early 2000 and refuses to evolve.

Not him, but the champs are so much alike each other with no to little difference between them.

sometimes the meta goes in directions they can't predict
and for the most part they "buff" the role because the champions in that role are all homogenous or uninteractive. literally almost all the mages in league has waveclear, have some cc, and a big aoe ult nuke so whoever has the higher number becomes the best one in that role, and they are trying to make them different with the mage update

So you watched an EU/NA pro match? They're fucking snorefests. Games regularly break into the 15-30 kill ranges for people playing normally.

Everything you listed as an example is wrong and even if it was correct, none of it is "forced" like League does.

Sometimes the most OP playstyle doesn't get discovered until several months into the patch.

Only fun league scenes to watch are Korea and China, NA and EU sucks

Dota is cool but learning ASSFAGGOTS is an endeavor and I already put a lot of time into league

You can't deny that flying in from anywhere to hand deliver a teamfight-sized stun isn't the tightest shit

I've never seen any one be able to pull it off. The stun moves slow enough for people to react and just walk the fuck away

Looking at the new champs I like the bird general guy. Is he any good?
If so I might come back to that hellpit.

I play Dota, but fap to League porn the most.

I love using WISP with dagon, ult from base to an enemy with spirits loaded on and gives him up to 1000 burst damage then come back to base is fucking satisfying.

Do you mean Swain? He's been around since season 1, I think. He's cool, new items will make him great again.

I think I have his Tyrant skin. He was a fun character.
