Dota's artstyle is better simply because it's actually consistent

Smite and League are awful with consistency, and 50% of the skins are LOLSORANDOMXD

Dota 2 if you're not into deviantart anime characters or just purely in it for the boobs.
There's some ugly looking sets but at least they try to enforce consistency in their artstyle instead of going "haha we're gonna make CLOWN PONY skins this week lmao", and the characters in their default sets never look like they came from some kid's deviantart page.

>>332516014

I think they each have their pros. In League you always have a jungler because the game is built around a fixed meta. In Dota you have a lot of flexibility in your draft, whether you want a jungler at all is up to your team, and if you do want a jungler, there's even different types (more gank/support oriented ones like Enchantress and Chen, or farm oriented ones like Axe or Dark Seer).

Since League uses a fixed meta, the jungle has a lot more thought put into it and the game is balanced with specific usages in mind. Since Dota's meta is determined by players, the balance changes are mostly reactive based on how players use it, which can lead to patches where having a jungler only happens maybe 1 in 10 games.

Every camp in League gives you a certain passive thing when smited (mobile ward in that part of jungle/ward detection/ability to stun jungle monsters etc.) Also there are buffs. And as I said, in dota there are 5 junglers (meta might have changed, but I remeber them being Doom, NP, LD, Chen and lifestealer, who was mostly played safelane), and NP was the only one who didn't AFK farm untill 20 minutes (Chen too, but he is barley ever played and mostly pushes

Dota has a big emphasis on silhouettes and the ability to immediately tell each hero apart instantly at a glance.

League seems to focus more on each individual hero as their own design, but it's very easy to lose the trees for the forest as you get this clusterfuck of clashing designs in the greater picture.

You think so? I personally think Arc Warden is the ugliest looking hero released in a very long time, possible the worst looking hero in the entire roster. From a top down perspective, it's even worse.

So, by your own subtle admission, you don't know shit about how DotA is played. Anyone can jungle. Yes there are heroes who excel there, but it's a tool for anyone.

The addition of abilities for almost every jungle creep also adds a new layer to the meta game, especially when Helm of the Dominator gives anyone access to a wide variety of abilities and auras of their choice. To name a few...

>Heavy magic damage? Get the small centaur with the aura that reduces it
>Heavy physical damage? Frost armor Ogre is here
>Need some early game dominance? Tornados and hadoukens for days
>Going ganking? Purge Satyr of infinite slows!
>Kobolods for speed
>Wolves for damage
>Golems for stuns
>Ancients for wave clear, a shit ton of health, or an attack speed aura

We get it, you're an idiot talking out of your ass. But your ignorance about this game doesn't make your Chinese knock off better

League of Legends is too inconsistent with their art. It's like they contract artists for like four days then they dump them in a trash compactor and hire on a new one. Not saying it's bad art particularly but sometimes the designs are a little too over the top for me.

Dota 2 is bland but pretty. Less is more in most cases.

>>332516795
He looks cool in concept, but I think they could've done a better job on the model. It looks too cluttered, and too many particle effects. It's messy-looking.
>>
After the overhaul and once league decided on a consistent style, theyve been doing very well making splash art consistently good albiet shiney as well as very readable in-game characters. Im worried new skins might make silhouette creep an issue though kinda like in tf2. Dota has more of a warcraft vibe obviously, but i feel like if blizzard got their hands on the art direction it would seem much more cohesive

That's just retarded. First, it's a game mechanic, second, people go jungle not only for buffs, but mostly for map pressure, objectives (such as dragon) control and possibly counterjungling. And as I said, meta might have shifted since I quit dota, jungling might have become more prevalent

A techies in the game means two things

One: If the techies is bad, it's an easy victory for the team that doesn't have techies as they're playing a 5v4 with some mines sprinkled in
.
Two: If the techies is good, the game is going to last a long time which rewards strong hard carries. There have been plenty of times where I went Anti-Mage because I KNEW the game would carry on forever. Nothing was more satisfying when I hit I HAVE FINISHED FARMING mode and wiping the enemy team clean because they thought it would be wise to bring the meme hero into the game.

Neutral creeps have their own abilities, and that affects the game, but mostly for Doom and Chen (exuding HoTD), as most abilities are just there for them (bird's tornado, golem's stun (once again, I haven't played for a really long time, this might have changed)

This is because of two reasons:
-Original League western art was incredibly bad, and some of these artworks (and their associated heroes or skins) are not yet updated (similar to some Dota2 characters who still need graphic updates (Slardar, Jakiro).
-League eastern art was on a few occasions used as replacement art for heroes (For example, the eastern version of the Galileo character portrait was used for a few weeks, reason is unknown to me). As eastern art was much better (especially when compared to old western art) this creates strange inconsistencies.
