Not likely. Players who have played League for 10 years try Dota for like 1 week and decide it's trash and go back. I've played league since it was in beta, I also played Dota2 since it was in beta, and the 2 are extremely similar but Dota2 is definitely more gimicky. It's less about skill and more about which broken item combination you can get to.. Some of this exists in League too but definitely not to the extent it is in Dota. I never see 'epic plays' in Dota2 like I do in league.

@kerX this is just wrong. The amount of knowledge u need to buy proper items in each game is way higher than any moba out there, due to how the game is and how heroes interact with eachother. Regarding epic plays, the average Joe who plays dota for a week wouldnt be able to understand 80% of them due to the fact that the knowledge gap is just too big. You dont even "see" some things till u experienced the game enough to look for them. In League things are just straight forwards and the game is more focused on fighting rather than anything. The game holds your hand by not even giving u a way to stop enemy CS in lane, or to manipulate creeps/minions in such a way that denies enemy exp/gold. Its a much simpler game and thats ok, both apply to different ppl i guess

@mocanu5254 Yeah I'll stop you right there. Lane control is one of the largest things in League of Legends, at pro level players will abuse these mechanics to get a 2-3 level lead on their opponent and deny them thousands of golds. I don't even play either game anymore, but League is not even close to being 'casual'. It requires just as much game knowledge, item setup knowledge and positional knowledge as a game of Dota does. Dota just convultes everything and makes broken combinations possible by giving ridiculously strong melee characters a gap closer, or ranged characters a way to run away that they shouldn't have. Whatever game balance the devs intended just immediately goes out the window. It's more FOTM shit than any game i've ever seen, there is no build diversity when things like BKB Exist and every single hero in the damn game runs it. Or we gonna pretend that everyone doesn't play Pudge Blink Dagger every single game?

I tried to tell my friends Dota is a better game, but nonetheless i played league with them. Years and years i watched TI's i watched big dota streamers, tried by myself for 3 days and went back to LoL for 10 years. Now I am settled down in life, and fucking enjoying my Dota 2 nonstop every night, and feeling so happy. Just try Dota guys. You gonna understand in just 1 week, why dota is in another level.

Everyone should enjoy whatever makes them happy. I ve played dota for over 11 years, with longer and longer breaks towards the end, cuz at some point you have just seen it all. I think a lot of people are just switching after a long time and therefore say the other game is actually "better" because they are just exhausted with what they played with for many years. To me the flashiness of lol looks really interesting but idk if I have the time and energy to learn a new moba. Dota is probably the better "teamgame" from a strategy standpoint but 90% of people just play solo and are therefore angry and toxic. I think in league you have much bigger impact as a solo player and can actually "outplay" 2 or even 3 enemies.

I am pretty sure other people mentioned already, but, a few general tips(since i play both games) 1. JUST TP! As an example, when bristle back solo killed u like multiple times, every single time you could simply tp out! He didnt have enough damage or cc to counter it! 2. Certain items give you benefits without actually saying they do “this” exactly! Like force staff can literally make skywraith mage useless! Or glimmer makes jugg ult useless! Or ghost makes sven ult useless! Euls scepter could make every single one of them useless (ofc for this game! It varies a lot!) point is.. items matter ALOT! 3. Good use of certain abilities, specially if you have the “tag” of initiator (you can check from hero page and filtering) sth like faceless ult (its literally aoe stun friendly and enemy targets alike! And only he can move!) imagine getting all your team stunned for enemy to kill! Or legion commander ult, if you loose your ult enemies gain permanent damage! Or in this case, warlock, the most important ability i would say is you q! Since it shares the damage between targets! So more targets=more damage! I rather q refresher orb q and die! Than just double ult! 4. Some very weird interactions exist not like counter picking in lol, its more like items or combination of heroes or jg items and power spikes that are not just the same things as lol, like a very weird one that i am sure 80% of players dont know is, if warlock ults and exactly before the summons finish, you put your aghanim down in your backpack or on the ground, it will summon 2 golems pre-nerfed! (Btw i dont think u noticed or at least didnt say anything about it, but aghanim of warlock gives u 2 golems for the cost of their hp and atack damage, so the interaction is told you effectively doubles their power) 5. CONSUMABLES, not just tango clarity or wards, there are so many others, Dust! Just shower the ground on dust to make invisible enemies visible&slow, smoke, literally turned your whole team invisible and boosts movespeed and allows you to scout as a team or alone for warding! Cause wards wont show u! Even if they have blue wards! And if you suddenly get unsmoked(before the buff timer) it means an enemy is near you! No matter if you see eachother! So maybe someone is invisible near you? 6. Ping is with alt, but generally its better to use mic in this game, but the moment someone flames or rages, do the lol treatment and just mute 7. There is no role-lock hero, what i mean is you can be sup and finish the game as sup but be moving all over the game and take in mid or safe lane at some point of the game (doesnt mean you should! But it means that if its possible or if midlane goes to jg or gank, if safelane goes for swapping lane, dont just get killed on top by bristle! Go farm mid! Get your items! Go join the fights, pressure other lanes!) its a concept you will understand if i put it in lol terms, which will be, everyone have tp summoner spell, and everone are top laners with shen ult, just go do your thing, get the fuck back (specially when there are literal teleportation gates on the corners!! Just tp! Use the gate to go back) I guess its already a long comment, if you read it, i hope you enjoy the game and have fun :) gl

@@devilbob kinda, however if your goal is to win as much as possible, dagon rush build is much better. think of it as that, you can either CC somebody or straight up kill him. Killing is better than stunning. Of course CC build allows you to stun multiple enemeis and not just one, but making a quick pick off and forcing 5v4 teamfight after that is still much bettet than just having lots of CC on Nyx imo. Nyx isn't a great tank hero because of very poor str gain per lvl. Even aghanim doesn't compensate for that because you cant move so you can get melted very quickly. Personally I think that if somebody looks for tanky, heavy CC pos 4, he is gonna get better results with Magnus/Tusk etc.

This was actually enjoyable to watch, you did better than i would've expected! I was starting to get a bit frustrated when you never used your "glimmer cape", but that turned to proud once I saw you pressing all your items later. I say this because, Dota and LoL are in many ways very similar (in the grand scheme of things), both in Heroes and Gameplay. But the biggest difference is really the item designs, in LoL it's more akin to like an MMO, build up your plethora of stats and get some modifiers here and there. In Dota, almost all the "best" items have an active, and many of them fundamentally change how you can play the game. Items like "blink dagger (initiation from outside of vision range)" "black king bar(immunity to CC)" "scythe of vyse(instant cast premium CC)" "refresher orb(self explanatory)" and many more. Anyways, great video, hope to see some more! All the best.

I find league players trying dota tend to stay in lanes far too long. As a support in particular you should be leaving lane as soon as your carry's lane is secured. That could be as early as level 3 or even 2 in some cases (edit: i should say be ready to TP to defend them though if you are roaming). As a carry player it would be whenever you can either kick the enemy carry out of his own lane, or at least being able to flash farm waves and rotate back to jungle. Also you put way to much value in defending the tier 1 safelane tower. Generally that entire area of the map is very unsafe after 10 mins or so. One last thing is that nobody knows how to take objectives in the bracket you're presumably playing at. If you don't want games to go on for 1hr+, pick a hero that can take towers.

A good game for the first time! I've played dota for more than 600+ hours myself, but I always find something new for myself, by type: new skills, new builds for a character, etc. Don't worry if you lose the first games, and it seems you've been thrown to people who already know how to play. If the games seem long to you, you can try playing turbo mode. Try to play as other characters, like bristleback, ax, Sven, they are quite simple to learn. PS: If you get lost in battles, like me, then Valve recently brought an update to Dota laboratories to the game, there you can turn on the setting where your character will always be visible in the midst of battle.

The game is super fun, but it would help a lot to have someone explain some basic ideas of what is happening and what you want to do. The games get shorter the higher in skill you get, as people will know more how early they can actually pressure objectives. I don't know what you played in league, but i recommend playing a core role when starting out in dota, as it is more direct and helps you understand more fundamentals earlier. Support works better after you know what your cores need to get out of the game. For example in this game, you laned well and punished your opponent's picks. But after your safelaner ditched the lane, the way you should approach the lane, especially as warlock, is by killing the creeps with your q and e spells and staying away from the enemies. You don't know much about the heroes naturally, but you will get a sense of the safety line where you can get away with depushing the tower. If more enemies show up, a common strategy the higher up you go, then it is completely ok to ditch your safelane tower and move to pressure other sides of the map (the enemy safelane, or sometimes mid) at this stage you want to see who the strongest hero on your team is and play with them. If they are super active heroes, stick with them the entire time, if they farm and fight, then it is better to fight when you have your ult, and chill while depushing lanes safely when you don't and your team farms. You did really well overall, just missing the knowledge and dota-specific experience. PS: all enemy spells have counters. For example, in this game you can cancel juggernaut's ult by going invis and it will interrupt it if there are no valid targets. You can bait low level players into wasting their spells like this.

As a Hard Support in high Rank this looks so frustrating ngl As soon as the Creeps(Minions) reach in this certain distance 3:10 Then it basically means you failed as a Hard Support Because the dude is new, this is bond to happen but the PA leaving that Lane is pretty much the best thing to do since his Warlock is new he will most likely never pull Creeps in camp and will never aggro Creeps during Laning Stage What he said 7:52 "Maybe it's different in League where you don't stay in Lane" is actually quite on point, in DotA it's actually good in changing Lanes and rotating especially when your Drafts is in Fast-Pace, Mid-Players also usually rotates to help out Side-Lanes Overall the dude is most likely be in Herald - Crusader Rank probably for atleast 2-3 months unless he grinds 8-10hours a day

In dota carry (safe lane player, Phantom assasin in your team and juggernaut in enemy team) farms for most of the early / mid game, because they need items to kill. Skywrath mage on the other hand is a strong support who can solo kill a lot of targets (just as many other supports). You should have moved with your team more (or just made space for phantom assain to farm). Love❤

Well, at least that looked like a bunch of players new to the game... About the Juggernaut ultimate ability, there are some ways to avoid and mitigate it, but it is quite hard. You had Glimmer Cape and if you turn invis during Jugg ultimate, he cannot hit you. If they happen to have vision there, that doesn't work, but it usually works in the early to mid game quite well. Another way to mitigate it is to find a crowd to surround you, other heroes, lane creeps etc. Jugg ultimate will strike on "random" targets within the AOE, so some of the hits will then go elsewhere... You started to get the hang of things towards the end. I would suggest playing one hero a couple of games to get more familiar with their skills and what to do and what not to do... And you need to hit those heals on your team mates and opponents...
@BAMGM

I'll answer the question that I don't quite see the answer to: no, you don't _have_ to go late game all the time like your team was doing. It depends entirely on your team composition, enemy team composition, and (partially) on individual player performance (farm+KDA) in the early stages. Generally the goal for each player is to obtain items that make their hero work and then hopefully group up with supports and possibly farming heroes from other lanes to make use of these items before certain enemy players can do the same. With the right team composition and an above-average performance on a couple players, you can easily end the game in 25 minutes. Of course, sometimes the meta shifts and certain factors make it quite a bit harder to consistently end the game early, but this is definitely less of an issue for new players, as in those games, basically anything can happen (I'm sure that is also the case in League anyhow). Hoping to see more of these! Very entertaining and strangely nostalgic...

There are five positions in game, carry the pos1 in safe lane, mid pos2 in mid lane, hard pos3 hard lane, support pos4 hard lane, and full support pos5 safe lane. In pos5 you should set wards on map, there are 2 of them sentry and observer, observer give you vision where you placed it, sentry reveals enemies wards and people who are invisible. Clarity and healing salve heals your mana or hp, but they can be removed if opponent hero hits you once. There are 3 types of ability damage: physical, magical and pure. Physical damage can be avoided or decreased with armour and misses; magical can be decreased by active Black King Bar or some items; pure damage goes through everything and can be only decreased with active BKB. There are also types of abilities: active and passive, some passive abilities can be activated with shard or aghanim. Also abilities direction: directed at target, directed on area(maybe there is more, I forgor). Lotus spawns every 3 minutes,rune of wisdom spawns every 7 minutes. Rohan respawns every 8-11 minutes. Aghanims shard and Aghanims Scepter upgrades your ability or you obtain another ability, or even both. Dust of appearance reveals heroes that went invisible, smoke of deceit makes you temporarily invisible. There are also neutral token drops from neutral creeps, there is 5 grades of neutral token and each of them start to drop after particular times: 1 grade drops after 7 minutes; 2 grade after 17 min; 3 grade after 27 min; 4 grade after 37 min; 5 grade after 60 minutes. Neutral items gives you item in choice to extra slot; they give passive or active abilities with some stat increasements. For your better understandment read about heroes abilities and about debuffs

There's a keyboard setting to make the key to be similar to LOL,but i use Heroes of Newerth because it's the easiest and fastest to use inventory for newbie, but it depends on what you're comfortable with actually, and main support job is to just to make sure your carry can farm safely by harassing enemies team on lane without feed too much, if your carry left the lane it's because he can't farm there anymore because of enemy heroes have power spike in mid game so you need to secure surrounding by ward or you can stick with mid lane to aggressive on enemies since mid lane hero usually have early power spike because of solo exp on early game

FYI, biggest thing you will need to learn going from League to dota is reacting to a situation vs. preempting a situation. Because of the more complex vision game, the significantly larger initiation ranges, and longer duration CC in dota, enemies will oftentimes jump at you from off-screen without much counterplay. This is in contrast to League where once a gank is happening, you will at least see the enemy champions before they kill you (unless you face-check a bush of course). The only way not to die to these kinds of ganks in dota is to understand what areas are unsafe and to not be there in the first place---unfortunately you won't acquire this game sense without just playing more (and watching your replays from enemy POV).

Another tip, when I load into a game, have a basic idea of what type of damage their heroes do, If Physical - Ghost scepter is amazing ( can't take any physical damage) If magical - glimmer came, pipe (if high hp pool), or bkb if going late Glimmer force is also excellent in pretty much all games so good stuff my friend. Warlock is known for being very squishy but his ults are game winning, some supports even go refresher or aghs because of getting 2 golems.

You did a pretty good job in laning here but you really struggled to know what to do after. Its not entirely your fault - your allies are super low ranked so they are actually playing worse than you mostly. If you want to play dota there's a lot of information to learn but i think i will try to keep my advice straightforward to things i think would help you out in every game: 1: a lot of dota items have actives and using them is really important, so you have to practice it. 2: teleport scroll can only be stopped by root, leash, or stun: many of the times you died this game you could have glimmer cape on yourself and tp home to survive 3: you can click on the hero portraits on top of the screen to see their items and read their abilities. 4: right next to the tier one turrets are gates that let you teleport from top to bottom for just a bit of mana 5: kill score is less important and dota has lots of powerful comeback mechanics so its not uncommon (20-30% of games) to see a game go from like 30-10 to 50-40 and the 40 team wins.

>can we ff? >getting wrecked by Bristle who does a passive aoe nuke if you hit his back >doesn't know what the heroes do Definitely a League player. I'm just teasing, but as someone who's played both for about 10 years it's very interesting to see the differences in how people perceive each game mutually. Dota's way better and complicated, just feels more tiring to play for me too. If I wanna chill and game I usually play League, but Dota is the coolest game ever.

I played league for 7 years with around 4k hours on it then moved to dota 2 back in 2017 and played around 3,500 hours. Not to shit on League but it had good stuff in it. I kinda miss the skill shots, fast movements. I liked playing Ezreal, Veigar and my boy, Kha'zix. Really had no plan on moving but friends peer pressured me. What I really didnt liked about it is that it is very reliant on counter picks and there's not much factor to change such outcomes. In Dota 2 even if you have a terrible laning tandem with your partner, you could pull something off like pulling the creepwaves to the jungle. Lure the wave to make it closer under your tower. Block their pull camps. You're not out of options at all. But id say they're all a complete waste of time even though i thank these games for keeping my head afloat during such trying times of my life. 32 and just starting out in life. Wish me luck. Im leaving video games for good to find some real connections in life.

> Well that was very good for a first game tho. For warlock I'd say you should look out for teamfights more, since your ult is AOE and takes a long time in CD. Also the synergy of items is: You Ult 1st, you slow (E) 2nd and then you shadow yourself 3rd with your cape (your C hotkey there), you can do it during channeling habilities like Portal and your E. Also it creates a magical barrier that absorbs 300 damage during its active phase.

LH means last hit DN means denies Press alt+click to ping on both your screen or minimap(The yellow ping from earlier was the game saying that there is an item in the recipe you need to get from the secret shop) Fast communications would keybind J and k was it or u Keybind I makes you change POV like from earlier(You can fix this easily just by pressing the keybind again or scrolling the mousewheel) You got good grasp on the gameplay for being pretty new to the game, Also as you longer play the game you'll understand why safelaners or carry doesn't really play on the lane as much as those in LOL, Dota will pretty much overhaul your game knowledge when it comes to MOBA but for the better honestly Also The shield color signifies different attack it blocks red=physical while blue=magical which you can observe from both your solar crest and glimmer cape when used

You're doing good as a new player playing a warlock. First rule of being a support in dota2, support the heroes, not the lane. if they leave the lane to farm, either stay near the tower, or follow them, or tp to other lane to help other core. You will definitely be a nutrition for the enemy if you stay on a lane without a core. And ward more.

It's always interesting seeing league players try dota, but usually they come in completely blind, pick a random hero they have no understanding of, barely read the skills, don't use tps, don't use couriers, don't use item actives, have no knowledge of/interaction with map objectives, feed horribly, get confused and overwhelmed by all the new stuff, and end up quitting after the one game. You seem to have avoided this by being smart and playing some bot matches, something I wish more transitioning league players would do. Even coming off a strong basis in league, there is a ton of things to learn about dota, so without time to learn at least the basics in a low pressure environment it's almost impossible to avoid getting overwhelmed. You're honestly off to a pretty good start here, I mean hell, you are using control groups to micro already. Glad you had fun and might continue playing the game as well. An easy(?) improvement you could make is better item usage. You actually itemized really well, but your unfamiliarity with them showed at times. For example, you could have avoided a lot of early deaths to bristleback by just using glimmer cape on yourself and tping out, and you can save teammates caught by skywrath's combo by just forcestaffing them out of it. Still, a lot of the issues you were having (not knowing what you should be doing on the map and item and skill usage) are mostly learned from experience. The trickier things to learn about dota are the things you don't even know that you don't know. There are a lot of mechanics, such as creep pulling, tower aggro manipulation, creepwave aggro manipulation, that are almost impossible to discover without being told about them or seeing someone do them in game. If you ever feel like getting more serious about dota, I'd recommend looking up some guides. Purge and Grubby are pretty good places to start. If you don't, and just want to enjoy dota more casually, then honestly more power to you. I think fondly of my days as a clueless noob and often wish I could go back to them, even if they were a bit frustrating at the time. Plus if you do get deep into dota going back to league is really hard. I stopped playing league seriously a little after the release of Kalista, and every attempt I've made since then to get back into it has just left me thinking "man, I wish I was playing dota instead" after about a week. Oh, and for what it's worth this game really should have ended 20+ minutes sooner than it did, given how bad your team's composition was and how poorly your Faceless Void and Necrophos were playing, but it went on for as long as it did because their team comp was almost as bad and your PA, with your help, managed to almost stage a comeback which only dragged things out further.

Advice - always, and I mean ALWAYS pick ranged Nukers while starting. Best starter picks: Lina Skywrath Mage Jakiro Lich Later, definitely try out Gankers: Bounty Hunter Riki Then ranged tank/right clickers Viper Dragon Knight Even later, scary melee early fighter right clickers, otherwise avoid carries: Ursa Legion A good melee tank/initiator is Centaur, highly recommending it! The rest is up to you. Hard avoid melee or range hard carries, or any hard, let's call it, gimmicky support heroes like Kotl, Chen, Visage (Warlock kinda belongs here too), or gimmicky heroes in like illusion heroes (naga, pl), Meepo, Arc, Invoker. P.S. If you want a gimmicky hero anyway, pick Pudge. He's fun.

great vid here man, thanks for this. really appreciate your comparisons, and your reactions are too funny. been playing dota since i was 12/13 years old, i'm 32 now and i still do four or so hours of the game daily, just can't live through a work day without it (I only play Ability Draft, lol). i've tried league before but decided, based on the graphics and the basic mechanics that it wasn't for me. imo dota is more of a macro-strategy game with some mechanical skill required. it's not as fight/clash focused as league. rather, it's more of an economic struggle. positioning and item timing are two of the most important elements of the game in terms of strat. this video was fun, i was feeling so frustrated and was waiting for you to discover that you could force staff yourself to escape. also got frustrated about that toxic PA not having lifesteal or a shard. typical blamer, lmao.

7:50 Glimmer Cape yourself to save yourself (magic barrier + Invisibility) Skywrath Mage is a support - he supports by dealing a lot of damage that won't scale with items pretty much - his ulti is dangerous when you have low mobility and he can keep you in this small area - Warlock is hella slow, some of your teammates are too - Force Staff on yourself or on your teammate will do a great deal to help them. Sometimes Skywrath plays mid but is rare You need to press more your buttons, 13:40 you force staff Faceless and Glimmer cape him - he has an escape that heals him back all the damage from last 4 seconds, excellent for this situation, excellent to recover from burst, except Skywrath has a silence and stopped him from using the spell, so you'd have to intervene Juggernaut is weak but if it really comes to counter him supports buy Ghost Sceptre - Pavise then Solar Crest is a waste of money this late in the game for most supports. Glimmer also helps against his ult. Letting a tank soak his omnislashes is usually the way to go Faceless Void is an hypercarry, with some itemisation he can contribute to the team a bit earlier (like early mask of madness), at minute 25 specially with the slow farm of the low skilled players you were matchmade, and playing in offlane which gets less farm than pos 1, no wonders he was useless Press the mana boots more! ex 16:30 LH last hits DN Denies Bristleback mitigates a lot of damage - and sprays quills from his back when he gets attacked on his back; which deals aoe damage to anyone close. Builds spell vampirism to heal from spell damage. Not attacking his back, using break (spell effect that disables passives, some heroes have this spell, items only Silver Edge has but it's a carry/core item), antiheal (Spirit Vessel is a support item, corrosive orb, eye of skadi, shiva, for cores + some heroes abilities), magic resistance to his quills (glimmer cape really for a support, some cores would build mageslayer which helps the whole team or pipe of insight also whole team also an item for cores), damage with spells as those won't trigger his passive that sprays quills. Most important not focusing him first target as half his usefulness is getting focused. Necro is strong against Bristleback... Necro is a Tanky antitank strong in sustain combat and prolonged fights Average game is 40 minutes, this one was a cursed long game. In Dota2 you should rotate more - use the portals at the edge of the map to move between sidelanes, use TP scrolls - position 4, 5 and usually position 2 rotate more than 1 and 3

Tbh your Necro was kinda throwing with all those random ultis on full-hp heroes. You played solidly, but it's always hard to win without all four of your teammates on the same page. If that Necro had played as well as you or PA did, it would've gone a whole different way, especially with how stupidly the Radiant carries kept jumping in to fights without vision or a plan. Hope you play more, it's always nice to see people learn to play Dota, and especially new content creators. Ps if you don't wanna play Ranked games and the game length really bothers you, you can play Unranked games in Turbo mode, which accelerates gold and exp gain to make the game average around 25 mins. It's all I play 😂

'I feel like it's over can we just ff' is such a league-esque mentality. Once you get addicted to ff15 you never get to realise just how easy some games can be turned around, especially in dota. Also saying that you can't do anything while carrying glimmer and not using it is bizzare, at least a try would be worth the risk.

Not gonna lie, you did pretty damn well for how new you are to the game. A couple of things of note, force staff can be used on yourself to get out of dangerous situations, and glimmer cape can be used while channeling. Also, you mentioned early on that in league, people stay in theit lanes? But the laning phase does not last super long in Dota, and it's usually better to lose the tower than to die 8 times trying to defend it. However, you had 3 cores on your team, and the pa and void weren't so great. I think you did very well for like your 10th game. Also, I'm very sorry that your game went that long, that's awful.

also, players coming from league can play "turbo" instead of regular all pick - u get more gold overall, dont lose gold upon dying and therefore have faster games. then again, these games are more snowbally and not losing gold upon death doesn't teach u to spend it(unless saving up for buyback), but for getting into the game, having faster rounds to get to know the items and heroes is fair

5:56 pa is kinda throwing by leaving lane after being ahead. sometimes its ok for supports to soak a lane to get some gold and much needed xp. this is usually done mid tho so the midlaner can start to roam and youre a lot safer mid. side towers dont matter that much, so losing a t1 tower is kinda whatever. the play would have been to defend tower till 6 then go fight with team, afking in a side lane as support is grief. so its ok to soak as long as your team isnt fighting or trying to push tempo.
