I play LoL.
I used to play dota beforen i moved to korea. It was hard to find games since dota was dominated by dedicated servers located in the US and high ping is auto kick.

So my friend plays LoL here and he recommended it so I started to play. I remember hating it. It could not be compared to Dota in anyway. IMO it required less skill. Even when I go ganking, the excitement could not be on par with a dota. Nor the variables for a fight was low since LoL barely has any castable items. Even the layout of the forest adds so much 'fun' factor for dota vs lol.
Dota has so many game modes.

I came here to write about how if you keep on playing you get used to it but while writing this i realised how much i miss dota and how much LoL sucks.

I also hate how you have to buy champions in LoL in order to play them. If you have a lot of champions along with full rune builds, it will give an advantage which is a pretty shitty for a Dota type game where everyone should start with a fair chance of growing.

If anything, i like the automatic match opponent which was quite useful when you are a noob and it wont place you in a game with more experienced players (in dota if you are a noob = votekick lol) but when you get to a higher level sometimes you get matched with a noob on your team and you wont know it until the game started and game becomes ruined right from the start.
