u mad?

@@mr.bonesomega8437 i blame lighting.

The arcade mode had a shitty player made version, that was hardly functional. Both league and dota copied swarm mode from Vampire Survivors. So, no, you are WRONG. Dota DID copy swarm mode.

EZ

Yup!

IO + Ursa.

But we can't do 0 min Rosh anymore coz Rosh literally doesn't spawn until the game starts iirc. Very early timings afaik are possible with heroes like Huskar, Ursa, TA with a Desolator, Slardar and his teammates, etc. Strangely enough the king of very early and even pre 15 min solo Rosh goes to Huskar with impeccable armlet toggling coz Ursa can't sustain Rosh's damage that early on.

It's not the same. You can't swap heroes and facets, just spawn new ones.

Yeah, I just like the demo mode giving you a way to swap heroes really fast!

It's not the same. You can't swap heroes and facets, just spawn new ones.

@TZAR_POTATO true, that's why I felt it necessary to specify it wasn't demo mode; but it's not true that you cannot practice with other players.

For sure

Yeah radiant and dire is the battle of two ancients. its battle of two universe

Yup. It's a drug trip.

You think so? How come?

Couple of reasons, but the league mechanics are just gimmicky. Feats of strength are way too strong and punishing by literally locking items out, horrible, even worse than uniques. Atakhan just clogs the map, there is already enough objectives and ruins the symmetry of the map. This season is just a completely downgrade of the old one by adding gimmicky mechanics that don't fit into the game

I got 3 free arcanas too! The first was when they were like "we fucked up ranked, here's a free arcana please love is" and two from crownfall.

I played 3 to 5 games almost every day since May last year and I never so much as got a single lucky Arcana roll that I didn't have already. Gaben hates me 😢

I got 3 but sadly lost the last one becuase I got no more candies.

@zutaru-kun i stoll have many candies left. How did you run out?

some of it, not most.

Wdym satire, league's premise in 2009 was supposed to be the 'new' dota

lmfao rot games franchising is nepotism buying slot with bribing money then? lol

How so? Can you explain?

That's not the same thing, but similar. Demo mode has that side bar for easy hero switching.

Yup that's where it is!

@@lowelovibes8035 40+, but yeah. I personally like having more game and more time in lategame to flex my strategically large brain.

@@TZAR_POTATO Haha, the joke is on you, I can predict up to an hour of the game just by playing the first 5 minutes

Thanks!

@@doughnatsu Concord?

@@TZAR_POTATO Concord indeed. What a revolutionary title which made Sony to cancel GaaS titles for God of War and Gays Done.

Yeah Dota prevents you from picking the hard heroes like the ones that require micro on new accounts. The console command to enable all heroes used to be "dota_new_player 0" but honestly it's been a while since I've tested that, so if someone really wants to try Meepo/Invoker/Chen day 1 they can haha. Welcome to Dota, all heroes are free!

@@czual2632 the Dota heroes start locked only if you, in the opening quiz, say you are a noob. If you say you are a veteran I think that everything is unlocked.

​@@TZAR_POTATO idk if thats true i made a new account and clicked the veteran options but still locked morph invo and arc warden which i usually use

@@ChinoMestizo Theres a console command to unlock them all, type in the console dota_new_player 0

To my knowledge, Dota 2, Deadlock and the recent and very popular Marvel Rivals are the only games off the top of my head that have free access to all playable characters.

@@abogmus8904 yes. What, do you think I should leave it public?

@@TZAR_POTATO not sure. wanted to check certain parts but most people probably dont care to watch for that long (even the edited version is 1 hour, jej)

@abogmus8904 i made it public

100% agree BTW that riot could do better in alot of ways. Their server hosting costs are different than valves, but I miss my favorite game modes 😢

@@thatgreenguyplayer2 yup I agree! This isn't a video on what game is better or worse, just my take on the patch. I think that league is far more inviting than Dota and is better at keeping people invested through sunk cost, since everything is unlocked and progression is tracked while Dota has neither. I've made vids, some showcasing things Dota copied from league... and the list is pretty huge! But, Dota has become better with each adoption. Check out my video on the subject, showcasing some heroes that are partially or fully inspired by champions and league mechanics!

Doesnt matter what you dk with LOL. It's not going to be on par with Dota 2. Unless they make a full copy then it won't be as good as it is. You just prefer it 😂

im a new league player im maining ap jax jungle right now and i get called a troll even tho its completely viable and is better than ad jax

I don't see how getting your lead negated is a coinflip. You must have made some crucial mistakes to let them come back from a deficit. Not pushing your advantage, bad map movements, or overextending etc. Snowball heavy games are not less coin flippy by any means - instead the coin was flipped in the laning stage or even the draft.

@@accuracyadherent556 not all. Monkey king and onwards, are heres unique to Dota 2 and not from wc3

League was made by some of the dota devs, who removed half the mechanics to sell it to 12 year old kids and also stole all the hero design ideas from the forum without giving any credits though. That's just written history now.

@@krikukiks oh I don't think it's all things being copied. I'm just baiting views and keeping it entertaining!

@@bovineavenger734 Maybe Dota should copy league then they might have a more successful game lmao

@@frozenphreak7528 i mean dota and league is pretty successful game. Both have militant fans, but yeah lol has much more players since it more convenient.

@@frozenphreak7528 Maybe League should copy minecraft it wouldn't be losing players too lol

@@wumi2419 training polygon is the most popular. It's actually really good, teaches mechanics, combos, and it loads up scenarios unique to most heroes, such as arrow and hook aiming, last hitting vs a bot, and stuff

How would that work? Their lore has nothing to do with each other.

@@TZAR_POTATO well maybe they're different approaches to storytelling, how their different shows compare, like you said, dotas world is very seperate, and league is very interconnected (idk you're smart you can make it happen)

@LabRatz-Ivor You know what, I just got an idea on how to do it. Consider the video ... in the works (and out in a few months :D)

I can see that

​@@TZAR_POTATO Usually games are decided by first 3-4 waves. Riot wants 10 minutes to be late game already.

First tower paired with first blood will be even faster than 10 minutes. Let's see how many GGs are called pee 10 minutes. Without experiencing your hero, items, etc. I play chess on Elo 2011. It feels like Riot just wants you to test each other's opening strategy. Whoever makes a "bad move" considered by the engine, loses. There is no regard for exceptional late game skills (like chess), crazy sacs and gambits, new opening alternatives leading into another opening with an advantage by saccing first.

@@BlueFlash215 It's not just about opening strategy. It's mostly about it's execution.

​@@BlueFlash215 It's more like they're balancing League like playing with 50% less pieces on the board for each side if it were chess. With less pieces comes with far less options to make and thus games get decided much quicker.

Some day...

@@TZAR_POTATO Probably never, I asked Riot August in his stream, and he said it's not something they're ever likely to add, for multiple reasons.

@Lodit24 strange, buyback is intresting antisnowball mechanic, as it require players to think does them want to spend gold, and leaders have bigger price then losers

@ well, one of the reasons was "that it wouldn't be very fun", so yeah...

​@Lodit24LoL isn't about being a good player, it's about the illusion that you are a good player. that's why all heroes have skill spam. if dota is chess, then LoL is checkers

yes but dont have the menu in left side to speedup the tests all u have to commandline

but is same thing

@ Yea, but in league you never had anything like it.

Natsu answered it yeah. Can use cheats, but it's not demo mode.

@@morosov4595 and story tied to each node, so its not just an progressive bar

All definitions are based on the monetization aspect. That's why it's called a "pass". See here: In the video game industry, a battle pass or rewards track is a type of monetization approach that provides additional content for a game usually through a tiered system, rewarding the player with in-game items for playing the game and completing specific challenges.

Whatever you call it, it's my first event. I lucked out on playing Dota 2 and Crownfall for the first time last year.

@@lazylonewolf Same.

Crownfall is a batllepass for sure but changed enough to feel different.

I just use top search result.

​@@TZAR_POTATO This is a problem a lot of communities that try to escape fandom face. You're not actually allowed to delete wikis on fandom, so more often than not they just stay abandoned, often get vandalized, yet still somehow remain the top option on google. Dota's wiki editors have all jumped ship to liquipedia, and the fandom page hasn't been updated since 7.35.

@@TZAR_POTATO next time maybe

To be fair I tried to use liquipedia several times. And every single time it felt SO undercooked and underdeveloped it was actually baffling. If they're trying to make Liquipedia the Main wiki at least don't make it so much worse than fandom! Hell just port the fandom wiki! Why that hasn't already be done?

@@KitsuneFaroe things have likely improved a lot since you last used it. That being said, make sure you're on the "Dota 2 Game" liquipedia, and not "Dota 2", the latter is the older esports wiki.

IT'S SO ANNOYING

its not really that riot dosent want you playing off-meta, its more that the players assume your trolling whenever you do use off-meta

@ But it's their choice to ban. Dota is a better game precisely because Valve doesn't listen to the community, because people don't know what they want. And Riot is still trying to please everyone.

I remember in the old days where you got reported and banned for playing Annie support and now it's a totally normal to pick mages as supports??? Like wtf man

@LabRatz-Ivor to some extent riot really hates off-meta. Baus is an extreme example, but to a lesser extent tilterella (ironic that both are sion mains), or other tactics which break down the """normal""" gameplay and lane roles (which i find absurd to have in the first place). they nerfed lane swapping, ADC mids (there is a deeper underlying issue which wasn't addressed, they always fix the symptoms but not the root cause)

You missed the reaction? Well, instead of having to watch a long ass vod, hope this 1h cut is good.

@@TZAR_POTATO Appreciate the cut!

@@accuracyadherent556 fun idea!
