It takes a while. People think it's easy, but it's very different.
Skills in DotA waste a ton of mana and are devestating. You cannot spam, and right clicking is much more important. Pudge, a hero, has a hook like Blitz, except it does MASSIVE damage and the range is at least twice as long as Blitz's. Puck, a hero in Dota2, has an ability on a SIX SECOND COOLDOWN that makes her invincible and untargetable for 3.25 seconds. Anti-Mage can blink at least twice the distance of Flash from LoL on a FIVE SECOND COOLDOWN. Also, there is no such thing as AP in Dota. Skills will always do the same damage, except a few that scale with a stat or an item that amplifies the hero's ultimate.
Summoner spell teleport? Everyone can use with an item. Ezreal/Kass's blink? There's an item that does that. There's an item that allows the user to "Zhonya" any enemy or ally.Items in Dota2 have so many use effects that you basically always have 6-7 spells. Wards are limited in quantity (refreshing after time). "Vision Wards" don't provide vision, they only provide vision of invisible units.
You lose gold when you die. Dying is way more punishing in Dota2. Respawn times are longer, but you can spend gold to buy back, on a cooldown.
There's no recall. There's this thing called a courier that carries items to you, but can die. There's no summoner skills, there's no masteries, no runes, no bushes. Elevation matters.
The biggest difference to me is the fact that every hero has a different turn speed and you can easily body block allies and enemies. Your hit box is huge in DotA, and you can use that to block enemies, creep, or even allies. It's pretty different, but not impossible to get into. You'll almost instantly be able to compare hero skills from DotA and champion skills from LoL. Fiora's ult IS Juggernaut's ult, Puck's Q IS Lissandra's E.
enemy alistar gave up and decided to sell everything and keep his base well warded lol
there were like twice as many wards but ezreal kept killing them...
also I learned morde counters diana pretty hard, I'm feeling like if the guy was a little better (I'm feeling he picked morde just to counter me) he should've denied me way harder, I was pretty miserable in lane but kept up in minions (and was beating him by 15 or something by the time he finally took down my turret) and warwick ganked me twice like a boss. I'm feeling I could've done better if I hadn't tried my luck a few times against him since I don't really get to play against morde all that much
from my experience dota 2 is a mess to get into
lol is already pretty deep, but seriously I play one match of dota and say "fuck it" because about everything in the game is complicated in some way I just find annoying.

There is also a boot upgrade that make you run faster and ignore unit collision, however, it is an active instead of passive. Something like 6 seconds duration and 8 seconds cd, so you just have to press 1 the entire freaking game every 8 seconds.
This is what separate a good dota2 player from great dota2 player.
not really?
just played with a tpa ez and it's kinda cool
ori's is terrible tho
it's literally regular orianna with a new shirt and a new hairdo
I got into LoL after Dota. The easiest way I can put it is in Dota 2 they balance everyone by making them overpowered. At least compared to league champs. There's a lot more devastating abilities.

Man my last match of the night was insane. I jungled Vi (ranked) and had a terrible start we were literally 6-20. Then all of a sudden I went into dominate mode after I got a frozen mallet and we destroyed the opposing team. I have no clue how that happened but I carried the hell out of the game.

Jungle Nunu is fun right now. Everyone should know how to play Shen.
One of my friends who I play with alot picks jungle Nunu most of the time. It does look fun. I'd buy Shen, but I feel like the majority of games I play he gets banned. I might give Orianna a shot.
we love beautiful things
youre gonna suck at dota 2
no two ways about it
im good cos i played dota before

Is that supposed to be a new Baron?
Horse Detective
Why the long case?
I was having an okay night with her until I started getting invited to level 30 games.
I just got called a gaijin on the internet and kicked. *sigh*
I'd pay
Looks identical to the baron we have now.

The points system has been uncharacteristically good to me lately.
3 or 5 points for a win, 5 points for a loss. Speaking of, I don't know when you usually play, but I'm sitting at 75 points in Gold 1 if you ever want to duo into Plat 5.
In other news, Zac seems like a jungler I need to get good with.

It's a rollercoaster ride for me.

Yesterday, I got matched with a Lv10 Ashe for whatever reason, even though the enemies are all Lv30.
So damn glad I blindpicked Kass against Annie, though she was decent enough to know to harass me with AAs.
is becaus youre not in ranked

i dunno what chinese doto infrastructure is like, but korea has embraced league with the whole of their collective hearts. the pro infrastructure supporting league over there is incredible
tbh though, this is an allstars tournament and not a real thingy of scenes - though korea league meta is probably better imo
in the many korea/china/sea tournaments, china does orrite
