I wanna ask why people like denying creeps and Last hitting. to me denying creeps is just stupid as hell, its like shooting your friend in the back. I personally hate last hitting on mminions because it gives no bonuses for anyone who assisted or did the most damage. For champs I am fine with last hitting because it makes sence with better AI or Human players, plus there ae bonuses for assisting.
I would like people to hate on this and "Prove me Wrong" however.

As for me , i prefer LoL over Dota 2 for the reason thats more simplified , dota 2 is pretty good but i cant keep up .

Why does this discussion always have to be like this? No one ever questioned or doubted that LoL is not inspired by Dota, obviously it is, as are many other games. Also, I highly doubt you get how a MOBA works, when you literally think you can win a game all alone. It's a team game and based on your comment you're a terrible teamplayer with an attitude. I highly doubt you'd manage to even get above 1,3k ELO.

First of all without warcraft 3 dota wouldnt even exist, therefore real time strategies are superior to MOBAs... although I suppose warcraft 1 wouldnt have existed if it wasnt for older games with the same idea like dwarf fortress...
Dwarf fortress and ACHII is better than every MOBA in existence.

I like Lol... I guess the reason is because i have not played any Dota (1 or 2) yet..
Comment has been collapsed.
I like Dota 2 more because:
1)I can Deny both creeps and allies
2)I can use Fog of War
3)I can use 4 spells(most of times),6 inventory items,control other units
4)I can create different tactics for lanes.Theres no rule saying 1 mid,1top,1 jungle/gank,2 bot or such things.
5)There is no rule that a new champion must be created every 2 weeks without thinking game balance.
6)Money or Items doesnt win you games.Team work is mandatory.
7)Dota 2 60 minutes matches end with scores like 50/40 not 8/15
8)Passives:Critical chance,Bash,Miss chance,Splash Damage and a hole bunch of unique abilities.
Personal opinion
There are hundred reasons like these that makes me love Dota more than any game in the world.
The thing that in order to win a dota match you need to consider all these reasons makes it more complex,difficult, HARDCORE than LOL.
Thats why millions of people play lol its just a casual game available for masses that you dont have to think too much in order to succed.
And one last thing ive seen many people from dota community go to lol and stick to it.They master it in 1 month and the second month they are at 2K+ elo and play with the pros of lol and even compete in competive tours. Meanwhile players from Lol cant even keep up with whats happening in a dota 2 fight the first months.And it takes years to master Dota if anyone can say it can be done.
Sorry for my English.

They have crit/splash in LoL but I think they are better for taking out miss/dodge. Its a luck stat that is usually the best defensive stat you can get forcing people to buy the one specific item made to combat it.
I dont know why everyone keeps debating this anyway... the easiest way to see the two is
LoL: game
DotA: competition
Neither is better than the other, they fill completely different roles.

Not gonna lie This "1)I can Deny both creeps and allies" Pisses me off so much. Why the F*** do they let you kill your teammates!!?!?!? This seems so counterintuitive! I understand that it keeps the enemy from getting money and xp but that is why you run! I swear....

Low Elo Players like you don't have to think much in LoL and "win" casually.
Dota 2 Is just the same old Dota with a better graphic update, some skill remakes.
Whilst LoL introduces the bush, where you can hide inside, btw, LoL has fog of war if you dont realise.
We Are not able to see the whole map. And In League, Money and items dont neccessary win you games.
Without Teamwork there will be nothing. And LoL Matches that even last for 60 Mins can go up to 64/52.
LoL Has splash, crits, ability power, attack damage, magic resist, armor, lifesteal, spell vamp, I can go on for a whole day. Even now, everytime a new champion is made, it wont last for 2/3 days for the experienced people to start using back their mains. And there is no rule, just a meta that we have solo top, mid, jungle + a support and ad carry at the bottom lane. Tactics can be created in LoL, HoN and Dota, we dont mindlessly go for a team fight knowingly we are weaker than the other team. From what you have been saying, you totally did not understand what is LoL about and tried to make a big joke out of it.

http://www.lolking.net/summoner/eune/24260443 I was like mid elo player only solo queue and i won casually most of the games because its easy.
Bush is good and you can do some trickks with it but it is at specific places.
What i meant about Fog of war is that it is static in Lol.
999/1000 matches at lol with huge gold advantage will end up with win but at dota is complete different.
Dota heroes have the passives im talking about that makes them unique not some items that most of them wont be bought up because the item you buy to each hero are always the same.
In competive matches its a rule to follow these lanes in order to win.Dota on the other hand.... You can go all 5 mid push lvl 1 or 1 top,1mid,1bottom,2 roam or trilane top 1 mid 1 bot.These are examples of strategies about laning phase that succed at some versions of dota 1.Senting the support+carry from bot to mid or top is like a huge tactic to lol!!!.
I know what lol is i played it for some months, i watched tours and streams and i can understand it.
Its just a casual game that is to easy and cant be compered to Dota complexity .
PS:Again sorry for my English.

No offence is meant by this, but the server in which you play on has a big part in the difficulty at different ELO's in LoL.
In terms of the Western servers it's fairly widely known that EUW > EUNE and NA > BR and that EUW > NA. Now while 1800 ELO isn't anything bad, as I said, no offence. Having played on both the EU servers, it's a LOT easier to raise your ELO on the EUNE and I'd be surprised if you had an account on EUW anywhere near as high.

If you did not know, LoL champs have passives too, LoL has runes, whilst Dota Heroes Reach to level 30 and can pump attributes, About LoL's Meta, its done because its optimized for winning. Btw, LoL people usually Gank a jungle for early fights, and maybe go 5 mid to get first blood. Thus LoL has examples of strategies too, just that you haven't been doing them.

I played like 2 games of LoL as I didn't have dota 2 and hated it. I then got Dota 2 and hated that one just as much but by some miracle i gave it another chance and it grew on me now im a addicted and havn't gone back to LoL once.
In summary this doesn't really answer the OP question, but i felt like sharing XD

I loved WC3, I loved the DOTA map by Eul. I went on to play Dota All-stars which was make by Guinsoo who then went on to League of Legends, naturally I decided to give it a try sometimes in season 1 between Brand / Rumble. In that time I also played HoN (which is utter shit) but always loved League of Legends. Valve announced Dota 2, and I was like "cool a SEQUEL and improvements on Dota." However having followed it for months, I found it to be EXACTLY the same as Dota, no improvements were made, the game played the same, felt the same, had the same characters and items. Overall, was very bland and stale.
Coming from a long time Dota player, who migrated to League, and tried Dota 2. I have to say yea, it is Dota all right, but it is in no way worthy of having the 2 in it's name. Maybe Dota Remade, or Dota Remastered or some shit.
I dunno, maybe I went soft, but I find League just so much more fun, and that is what is important FUN.

I play both, but... call me a noob for it if you wish, but I still prefer lol. I am only playing ranked games in high elo tho... dota2 is also a great game, and I am also miss denie, from lol, but ovarall, the controlls are mutch "smooth" for me in lol, witch makes the game more enjoyable than dota. I am also love the graphics in both games, but I find more fun lol's high variable style of champions through skins wich can be obtain cheap if you can w8 for sales. on the other hand, i am in love with dota2's heroes voices, and I am miss that amount of lines from lol. As far as I can tell the community is really bad for both games, but at least, if you can get to high enough elo in lol's ranked games, than you wont meet so mutch troll.
Overall, I thin both game is great. I currently prefer lol, but I think that dota2 have the ability to change my mind, as its getting "user friendly" by patch to patch.

Anyway just wanna know sg communities thoughts on dota 2 vs lol besides the dota 2 giveaway spam.
Now i know this might start a fanboy war or some shit, but you need a valid reason why you think one is better then the other.
Now i really like dota 2 (altho its still in beta),some reasons why i like it are it
s challenging,fast,allows you to play any role or hero (champion in lol words),items have more purpose,no runes (lol way to add a bit more power to champs in your own way),customization is free,and of course the look of the game and animations ,and voice acting is great, i love it. I played Lol but didint get into it too much.The game limits champions that you can pick (heros in dota words) every week it would change the champs you can pick.The only way not to be limited by it is buying them for ALOT of in-game currency or real money.Second you have no way to make your champ look diffrent besides paying real money for skins that are premade and no specific part of the champ can be edited (like items in dota).Lol takes alot more time to actuly start ganking,animations meh and spell feel also meh.And the fact that not all champs have mana.Some champs have mana some energy and others rage.Not it`s cool if not for the fact that mana comes back slow but energy champs get it back very fast and can spam alot more (example Kennen enregy ,kayle mana)maybe something changed in some months dunno.I
m not saying you have to love dota or Lol im just asking your thoughts on them 2.And argument: lol is better cuz more people play it. Is invalid as lol has been around a lot more then dota 2 and dota 2 is still in beta.
Also soory for my bad english,i will try to fix grammer mistakes a bit later.
EXPLAIN WHY ONE IS BETTER THEN OTHER (Answer LOL IS BETTER HAHAH won
t do or dota 2 better wont do )you have to say why.Also don`t make stupid points like denying really -_- games has one more option and you think its bad ...Comment has been collapsed.
