It should also be noted that the video undersold Black King Bar and Blink Dagger quite a bit. It's kind of a thing League doesn't really have: Items whose existence demand or allow the existence of other items and spells. BKB isn't just a continuous cleanse, it is also a source of magical immunity, which denies half of these items on top of numerous abilities from targeting or damaging you at all. In fact, the existence of the stun-on-attack Abyssal Blade and targetted-Polymorph pretty much is only justified because hard as fuck defensive options like BKB exists too, because the game sometimes needs an hard-NOPE FUCK-YOU stun to that kind of effect. BKB is such a pressure to the game, that we've seen removing "piercing ALLIED magic immunity" be components of the balance - you also have to juggle being immune to your own team's saves. The biggest drop on that line of thought is a semi-hard exception on having both the physical immunity (ethereal effect from ghost scepter/ethereal blade) and magic immunity applied to you at the same time, since that would make you basically invulnerable for a bit.... But we just got a hero designed specifically around abusing it, Muerta (who ironically can be hard countered by similar interactions), so I don't think any preconceived notions of what's allowed or not end up meaning much. On a similar line of thought to all of this, the reason why passive evasion on items is allowed there but went to retirement in League is also because there's 3 methods of ignoring evasion (Any Javelin Upgrade's passive accuracy, Bloodthorne+Revenant's Brooch active accuracy, and then a bunch of spread out number of guaranteed hits on items and abilities). Funnily enough, not one single of those accuracy effect is bought primarily for the accuracy aspect other than Monkey King Bar. So yeah, the summary of it is, evasion can be bought because accuracy exists all over the place, even if we only have one single de-facto counter.
Imo the core distinction between the two games: League: a champion has a clear identity which is reinforced as the game progresses Dota: a hero has an identity which continuously evolves as the game progresses
Somethin I really like about dota items is that the game really lets you know that an item was used or a passive effect happened. When someone uses shivas you know why you're getting slowed. When you see someone use BKB they get bigger and as a support you know you wanna run away. If you get crit with deadalus you fucking know you just got crit because a big red number and a cheetah just roared in your ear.. Something that i struggle with in league is that every item feels like they are all just marginal improvements on the character like when you escape with 10 hp in dota and think "good thing i bought two ironwood branches instead of 1 in league every item feel like that to me.
In league you get in a fight there's 20 passives that activate at the same time you don't know what happens unless you look at the enemy build and death log after. There's some audiovisual feedback for runes but not all of them. Some shields have clear effects while other don't. Some effects like grievous wounds have a visual feedback that you can see but in the middle of a big fight it doesn't easily catch your attention and you can't always tell where it came from unless you check items and everything. It really makes the gameplay feel less impactful. you just go in and what happens happens. There's so many times I got slowed and the game doesn't explain why. You'd have to investigate between the runes, items and heroes many passives somewhere there's a conditional slow that fucked you and you had no way of understanding that during the fight. The fact that it never happens in dota shows just how well it's designed.
Some items in league do it ok, Luden's pop is decently loud but not necessarily what you're gonna notice when Annie dropped a thousand-pound bear on you for a stun. Heartsteel I do think is decent at it, the sound effect it makes and it's criteria being an auto attack to proc makes it mostly obvious. But then you have things like Liandry's, Jak'sho, and the like where it barely feels like anything is happening on both sides of the situation.
I played both games (main in support position), but Dota for me is more like problem solving in all aspects of the game(even in winning). Also drafting is more complex like heroes power spikes, item and level timings. Whereas in league, almost support is a cookie cutter skill and item build. I am archon in Dota and Master at league, but it is more rewarding for me to play at Dota.
Support in league build the same exact items in the same exact order 99% of games while in dota you have to think and see what your team needs. That makes playing support very rewarding. There's a game where I built atos on dazzle because they had a sniper and we didn't have any lockdown and the moment I used it the enemy team started being more scared and it gave us enough space to catch up and win the game. Things like that never happen in lol and that's why I respect dota more as a strategy game while lol feels more like multiplayer diablo.
@natural783 lol have you ever played dota? This is the amount of choices and decisions you have with the most linear heroes. League choices always feel like picking a color of soda. Do you want ardent censer or blue ardent censer? Lol. It's not really a choice, it doesn't really impact your play style and it's mostly just passive power. All you described is good in a vacuum but it doesn't give you any freedom compared to dota. In dota as a support you have so many items with so many different effects like meteor hammer, aether lens, atos, urn, lotus,etc...all of these will add a very clear utility to your hero and they have a very clear purpose, not just passive power. The problem with league support items is that they're designed to be support items so in most games out of the few support items that are in the game you will make more than half of those items. This brings us back to how riot wants you to play the way they want. Dota doesn't have support items. They have items with utility and items with stats/ power. Riot designs everything in a little package that's supposed to be used in a very specific way and this is why support is so boring in that game. You end up with the same exact build except minor things that's as exciting as changing the colors of your characters shoes.
Item build is still the hardest thing in Dota. newbies or even pros Remembering Collapse forgetting not buying bkb instead of linken to counter rubick lift
League: buy these items and you're all set Dota: it all depends. you probably need mana boots and a magic wand. other than that, good luck! if you buy something you shouldnt buy, your team will let you know!
This goes to show the skill ceiling in Dota vs LOL. Items in Lol are mostly passives like the vidoe says do you can just turn off your brain while you play. While in dota, not only do items are actives some also give you 1 or more extra skills so you’re literally playing a piano w Dota w all the buttons you gotta press and memorize
There are a handful of items and hero passives in Dota that give increased melee range (Broom Handle and Penta-Edged Sword) but they are all Neutral Items which are special items dropped from the jungle camp monsters Also if you thought Meteor Hammer was already nuts, Phoenix can channel it while using their Icarus Dive ability!!
By the way the fact that this video came out just 3 months ago and it's still already outdated on both games for so many items really shows how fast things can change in this genre of videogames.
player: the enemy is kiting me what can you suggest an item for me? league: increase your movement speed or increase your defense dota: here pick; eye of skadi, blink dagger, shadow blade, abyssal blade, shiva's guard
If an enemy is kiting it'd be Rod of Atos for some who can nuke but no move speed or if you have move speed but can't deal dmg, bloodthorn can work. Depends on which hero you are really.
If you do a video on DotA2's talents and LoL's champion passives you can combined with this highlight the biggest difference. In DotA2 practicly all champions are flex champions: having at the very least two very distinct playstyles. In LoL that's rarely the case and half of the flex-roles are not intended initially (I will never forget AP Master Yi)
Yep its true. Almost all heroes in dota can be any role. (Carry, mid, support etc) and they can flex between attack dmg based or spell based. However, the higher in rank you go the harder it is fight the meta. You'll be punished hard for trying to play carry as a support hero because the top players just know the game too well, especially if the enemy team is in a stack.
@@curtisstephens4482 it's 7.33 , fucking everything meta is out the window! I showed a divine player my AM mid build and he spams it now, meta be fucked!
This is a really cool video. It makes a lot of the exact arguments ive made about why LoL items system is just filler and despite having so many items there is only like 10 viable on any given champ. Ive always thought the Talent system in Heroes of the Storm was a far better system because its not pretending you have all this freedom but instead giving you a few synergistic picks every couple levels that can completely change playstyle of a hero.
Yes this is true. I mean all of the champions have their kit "perfected" so they don't need any more abilities. They need stat check. On the other hand DotA Heroes need items to support their playstyle.
@@tylerteracide I do stream, yeah. No need for the platforms to clash though. Other than the streams that I coach league players learning dota, my content from both platforms is pretty different.
On top of being more boring and less impactful, League's actives also have much longer cooldowns. Also, League actives never cost mana because not all champions have mana, while in Dota a lot of actives do consume mana as well, often justifying smaller cooldowns.
Dota's item building feels way better for me, because in league it feels like I'm buying an item just so I can get stronger. When I buy an item in Dota, I'm doing it with a higher and smarter purpose than just getting stronger. For example: I bought an Aeon Disk and not only am I stronger, it was a smart decision so I can avoid getting killed by the enemy sniper!
I like dota more, coz every problem will have solution... if my team losing early game.. we just simply buy item that counter enemy team, and we win late game😂... but in league if we losing early game.. n enemy get their item first.. we almost always lost in late game..... dota is problem solving game lol is speed farming game
I'll give a brief example of what items in Dota 2 can do, Earthshaker as an example, you can build him as support initiator with blink dagger, force staff, urn, but you could also go for aghanim and daedalus and become a massive nuker and if you want even more CC than he already has than just buy meteor hammer. Dota items can change the playstyle of every hero and still make it work in the long run.
Man this really just highlights the difference between dota 2 and league at its core, from items to heroes to gameplay. One item in league seems complex cuz it has a billion fluff words to make it flashy and “cool” and it just increases your aoe dps (surprise, lol). One item in dota simply floats your target in the air for a second or two, but it has a huge and wide range of how you use that in game that can change the entire course of a team fight. Save an ally, purge a debuff, hold an enemy in the air to catch up to them, hold an enemy in the air to get them out of the way to deal with their friends. Can’t do all 4 at same time cuz cooldown, so you gotta think ahead and assess every situation to make the most impact with it. All from a very simple concept, but this is dota so it has very wide ranging implications and uses. League replaces strategic open endedness and game impact with flashiness in almost every situation. Look at the most complex league heroes, they’re made hard because you have 80 buttons to press. In dota, even simple heroes/items have wide ranging strategic implications to it cuz the game is so deep past just button pressing. And also dota has button press hero too. Like Meepo, he doesn’t just require good micro, he requires good macro Ontop of that because his unique strengths and weaknesses have serious implications to how you tackle every single matchup and teammate. Oh, and don’t forget about item timings
The reason lol items have so much text is because they are very fine tuned for balance, not to seem cool. Every part of the item description is there to make it viable on many champs while not being broken on any of them.
@@dmon9333 I don’t think so, the finely tuned aspect of an item or weapon doesn’t require walls of text because whether an item is finely tuned to be balanced or not is entirely reliant on the environment it’s in. A single item like Euls Scepter can be finely tuned for balance in dota and constantly is, despite being very simple. They just occasionally change the price or disable time to fit the meta so that it’s balanced. League weapons are over tuned in that case, in a way that gets in the way of game balance not aid it because they’re so absurdly overly convoluted and therefore convoluted to adjust for the meta and balance.
This video is really amazing. I mainly play DoTA and sometimes play League because of Fiddle. I kinda' got lazy playing League once the new Fiddle came out (didn't like that they removed his movement speed passive). So I thought to play a support champion instead, as you see playing a Mage/Caster in League is as really simple as building AP from start to finish. Moreover, he's already Sand King with a Blink for me so the intuition and instinct I have from playing DoTA doesn't change much. The problem with the support role however, is remembering the items part. I'm fine pressing more than 5 buttons to support but I just can't remember each every damn item as a support, so I just don't play League now. This video really helped me for the comparisons. Amazing work.
Glad that you like it! I'm also a dota player, but after this patch... oh man, the more dota tries to be heroes of the storm or league, the more I wonder why I don't play more hots or league. I mean, if dota wants to be them... that's a sign?
@@TZAR_POTATO One thing I can confidently tell you about the new patch, is that its absolutely bonkers and I'm loving it lmao. Of course, as for the direction where DotA is heading, well... even I can't really tell. Some may meme about this but I really do trust the Frog himself to guide this game. Much of DotA patches and changes have many times, come from the community themselves. Even as far back to the DotA Allstars Forums. As long as IceFrog is still the same as he was, and they were (whoever his current team is right now) too, then I'm all in for it.
@@floreskyle1 I can respect the dedication! As for me... Well, I still got vids to make! I was actually thinking of doing a meme video of Patch Size comparison, but that would just be mean :D Maybe I might sometime though?
back in the day League did have some fun builds like this. I don't think anyone who's played early league will ever forget the terror of 5 sunfire cape Garen.
Dota Items can turn any heroes the most broken, annoying, can evade almost everything, Magic or Physical Build, Bulkier (even a support/squishy hero), Dodge Master, Skill/Item spammers, 1 Hit killer. More or less anyone can build their own items with limitations like Melee/Range and questioning yourself "Is this really needed to impact for THE ENTIRE TEAM?"
Not sure about that. Suddenly, some heroes benefit from all-stats items a lot more than anyone else does, meaning that common damage items are sort of obsolete for them. @@nicreven
Mostly I meant that in the way of, like, universal right clickers can buy any item they need without having to worry about the stats. If they want health and damage, they can get strength, if they want mana and damage, they get int, etc. Maybe it's not really anything like that though, I'm very bad at dota lmao@@TZAR_POTATO
Great video. Had a thought while watching that League's Arena mode has some unique mechanics that are missing from the regular games, like refreshing ultimates, polymorph, invisibillity. Certain augments change what a champion can normally do in a way items don't. People sometimes describe Dota with the phrase " if everyone is overpowered, no one is" and I think that applies to League of Legends Arena as well!
when starting out DotA as a support: "I only need to worry about my active skills? this is gonna be easy!" . after a year playing DotA as a support: "I NEED MORE FINGERS TO ACTIVATE MY ITEMS!!!"
Lol: You are the same thing in the early game and the late game but more powerful Dota: You can be so much different from the early game What does a hero truly need? Lol: More AD, AP, Armor, HP Dota: That is for you to decide :)
@@MyGamerPonyThat's what I mean, it was a good quote. And, thanks! I hope more people get to see them someday. I think I would get my big break if a popular personality from either game finds an interest and watches my vids on their stream, would be so cool.
I play both game for a really long time. Now, I understand why both creator want to make their own "unique" games. Both are completely on different level eventhough they share the same fundamental gameplay. Honestly, I respect both game equally. -Both are toxic anyways-
These videos are very important to me bc I recently picked up a moba called predecessor, and they’ve made it very obvious that they’re taking inspiration from league of legends in terms of the item system and overall game design philosophy, which is a huge disappointment bc I’d rather they take inspiration from dota. Right now we have exactly the same problem with our item system that league has which is leaving me burnt out.
I play both on-and-off nowadays (usually off), but I've played more Dota. I've noticed that people don't read item descriptions in lol, when they were flaming me for building AD item on Karthus only to wonder later why my ult has 30s cd xD
Hi , i am a diamond 1, diamond 2 player in league and started playing dota 2 for like 3 or 4 days now , i finally got the hang of the map and paths , got some knowledge of items from you and more of how the mechanics work , thx a lot i just need to play everychamp to get the abilities and im set , thx a lot ur videos are like super simple and thats what i was looking for .
So cute and wholesome! But, you should spend a minute per hero in demo mode, it's a much faster way to learn them all than to play them directly in matches. Join the discord and uh yeah, see you on there! Ping me if you want a free coach!!
@@TZAR_POTATO thats awesome i will def ping you when i join , plus the demo shows me how to play the character but not how to plan a counter when i play againt it as i forget if i just play a min in the demo but thanka again
Ursa in dota is a simple hero with simple skill kit but can be the same carry with 3 diff builds and diff gameplay(plan) for example, ursa diffusal(fight early snowball) ursa battlefury(late game scale carry) Ursa(scepter,shard,octarine,euls)tank durable carry disruptive lategame based off timing ult/eartshock talent/shard spam winning time with euls for more earthshocks/enrages
Providing damage through his passive claw damage by prolonging the fight thsnks to low cd enrage and earthshock enragr euls etc with purple blink dagger
Dont need this myself as i am aquainted with DOTA items now but the incoming LoL players are gonna find this so useful wish i had it when i first jumped over great video!
Creep mechanics? I thought I covered them in a general sense in both the support video and the mid comparison videos. Or, do you think more detail is needed? Also... Thank you for the sub! Always nice to have a fan
@@TZAR_POTATO Yeah I saw you covered it lightly. I was thinking like creep dmg types ( seige pierce etc), and creep types. I wanna know what kind of creeps there are in LOL. maybe how creep aggro works in league. the Deny mechanic for all the league fans out there. Ive only watched last 5 videos, so I dont know if you covered in depth in earlier videos.
death recap, ability and item tooltips are way more detailed in dota , u can ping buffs/debuffs , also dont forget day and night time one of most important aspects in vision
In Dota, you can make the decision to transition from support CM to out of nowhere build Dagon 5. In LoL, you try double Smite like Tilterella and half your games get ran down mid and reported.
@@TZAR_POTATO Power threads is both active and passive, the active is you can keep changing the main atteibutes, and the passive is you get +10 for any of the selected attributes. I think thats what he trying to say, and i also think its one of the most unique item dota have
Great video, have you ever thought about making a video about mechanical skill in league vs dota? Personally I think since league is a much simpler game there's a lot more focus on raw mechanical skill while dota being a much more complex game is not so focused on that and it's more about strategy. It could also explain the age differences of league pros vs dota, you are lucky to be a league player above the age of 21-22 since there's always a new 17 yo mechanical prodigy somewhere ready to take your spot but that's considered young in Dota
@@TZAR_POTATO lmao probably true, but I do believe it's the most fundamental difference between the two games. I think it shows in how league has made a very active effort in removing point and click enemy target abilities, while Dota doesn't even see it as an issue.
Comparing regen in dota and lol is a bit senseless to me personally, like yes corruption potion refills in teh base like in dota. But the thing is you cant just get refills in lane by picking up runes or having teammates tp, same with the pots. You barely buy regen in league, despite them being techincally similar cause you reset a lot more and get regen in your base/fountain.
Playing lol is like, you one shot everyone, or you are unkillable, but dota is about sustain, you probably can risk go all in, but once you get cc by enemies is like bye2, and dota had risk, like if you had rapier, once you died rapier drop
The most disappointing thing about league at least for me is that the flash skill. It's like tumbler's toy with a few extra range and has a 5min cd in avg 30min game.
My league friend is starting to play Dota (he played Dota 1 many years ago) and he is playing strength carries, i told him about how you can play with mordiggian leaving you at 1 hp and activating it again to boost your hp so you don't die and he is loving that mechanic, he has died trying it because he didn't time it well, or got hit by an unexpected spell, but when it keeps him alive, he feels like a pro player 🥸
This is one of the reason why dota fans and community still loves dota even only less than 3 new hero added in every upadate but ton of item and mechanic change and additional that make newly fresh meta thus making different kind of playstyle for almost all heroes in every update. That make all heroes in dota are playable and not just old antique display which if some are picked will trigger tantrum from some teammates for their out of date playstyle. Mechanic update is much better than just adding new hero tbh
Hey, I was curious what the song was starting from 5:00 , I hear it a lot on your channel and it's kinda chill. Thanks for the videos btw, they're really enjoyable
@@TZAR_POTATO I know it sounds bizarre but the worst part is that it works hahah. Phoenix doesn't really have proper scalling items, and since he is Universal he does really benefict from the atributes and the spell lifesteal. It also weirdly synergizes with his high mobility, dps and strong ability to bait. It only really works properly on mid tough (Phoenix is a surprisingly good mid), since that way he can scale better being able to properly obliterate anyone in seconds from early-to-mid Game, in the end you get the cost back. Is something you don't really think can be pulled out but it works if you know how to do it. Is a strat my brother tought out of nowhere, he is the best Phoenix player I have ever seen.
I really like Dota 2 as a whole, but i really hate it's item system. I've always wanted it to be more like league's, that is, actually buffing what your specific hero does, instead of just making everyone be able to do everything
just stumble upon your channel, and this video made me subs :) also want to give a shoutout the best example of how item can determine a game winning GRAND CHAMPION The International 9, game 4 : Gyrocopter with Diffusal, item so out of Meta for the Hero, the caster questioning it, everyone questioning it. but it works. Also IO with Aghanim, from hard Support into Hard Carry
Lol vayne hits pierce damage at each third hit 1 buy a item thats do at each 3rd hit do extra damage 2 buy a item thats steal move speed in the third hit 3 buy a item thats gets to double hit in one after 3 hit 4 buy a item thats gives you atk speed and after 4 hits grants steroid 5 buy a defensive item Dota 2 naga siren After 6 hits deals aoe damage, and clones can proc 1 buy item thats deals passive aoe, so clones can farm cuz its works on clone 2 buy a item thats gives more clones to stack passive faster 3 buy more atk speed and dmg 4 buy a defensive item 5 whatever you want my man,more stk speed? More tanky? Ignores evasion?steal mana per hit? Ignores Magic damage and CC? Stun per hit? Crit? Do what you think is better
The Vayne one. She has clear identity of a hunter who focus on single target. This is why Lol is so much better. Champ have clear identity and gameplay to reinforce it. Dota heroes is a sack of item that can contain anything. But every sack is the same.
Basically, League:"Hello champion, take this sword to make your hammer strikes stronger" Dota:"HellO Herooooooo!!!! Take this hammer to shoot fucking meteors out of the fucking sky to destroy and waste anything that stands in your way!!! Damage? I guess it gives you stats which gives you damage but i dont think you can use it to attack someone, its ornamental. It does heal and regen your mana though."
I, personally, enjoy a "passive stacking" style of itemization. Less buttons to press are better to invite new players in, but the items must do a LOT to justify changing the builds. I dont blame LoL's boring itemization on the items, i blame it on the champions and on how some stats are just borked from the beginning. Dota champions offer much more from their approach to their skills compared to LoL's "everyone is fast and burtsts everyone else's with damage" appoach to character creation
The idea of building stuff purely for the Effects or hell, just getting a pure durability item on an otherwise glass cannon does seem far off at times in league, it might provide survivability and movement speed, but if you were going to build a dead man’s plate on an ADC then you’d get yelled at, in that role you need to (or at least are pressured to) hyperfocus on damage as much as possible even If that really isn’t the issue you’re facing at that point. It’s not impossible though, I mostly play Tanks, bulky Mages or bruisers and I feel there is more room there to look into other areas around there, a lot of mage and fighter items give HP already, if I wanted to get Warmogs for Hp regen or Spirit visage for synergy, well, I’m not sacrificing nearly as much as I would if I was getting that stat anyway. Still hindered by the AP/AD split granted, no amount of Crowd control immunity will get your team off your back if they see you with a silvermere dawn or something as a mage. It might have been mentioned in another video, but in exchange for not having quite as many active items, league does have Summoner Spells, I think flash specifically was placed to make up for a lack of blink dagger. As a final note, I do wish League had more things comparable to Aganim’s sceptre or HOTS talents, there really is something appealing to changing how an ability inherently works.
You can extend the duration of the Tango 2x more by Using it on a Iron branch tree Or by planting it. There's also the fact that Dota has neutral items (not sure if you already made a video of it but yeah just saying). Played both games Had fun, but mostly play Dota now I see League as the typ of game when i want to do cool things Solo fights, outplays etc the flashy stuffs. EQ flash EQ into ult (Yasou). But it feels too static Or unchanging Like every fight feels the same most of the time. While Dota makes you think more on team Synergies, map controls, stacking, map awareness like supports using tp when a lane gets gone on. Denying creeps, pulling creep aggro and so on.
Coincidence, though I heard it there first. I was looking for a long time for no-copyright edm that's actually good, and remembered it worked for dota 2 tips so why not for me?
I subscribed to your channel because I realised you're actually a new channel and also give good information. Now you shall give me the name of the song you use when comparing the items😂
its interesting how these 2 similar game took 2 routes. dota 2 after paying since dota 1 the devs there stop caring but i still gotta give them credit for the versatility. lets not forget the learning curve.. its not an easy game to learn the basics (items, spells, comobs etc) but to master it, i think its equally hard for both games as i wont deny enjoying LoL for a bit too. But dota arcades got me back to them lol whats your view on it?
dota has a lot of really good noob freindly features that really help you get used to the game. You can select any hero during a match and you can see and read all their items and abilities. guided builds can be selected and tell you what items to buy in what order as well as skill order and have tooltips that explain what the items do in a eli5 way as well as explain the item synergies with your hero. Finally dota has the coaching system. if you know someone who plays dota you can let them spectate you ping things, ping items to buy, and even draw on your screen or map.
@@bradfin12 point is, guides are instantly outdated from the patch, meta is out the window, tutorials are sometimes too buggy to even complete... it's chaos out there!
@@TZAR_POTATO guides are for when you don't know what all the items do or how items synergies with your hero yet. You play with guides until you know the items well enough to know what items to buy in which situations without being told.
Liandry is similiar to witch blade, both apply a dot damage and Rylai is pretty much the same as Skadi from Dota. The only difference is that in Dota these debuffs are applied by auto attacks and in LoL by spells. I would say these are actually the closest ones from all the items you have shown :p Besides from that Dota in general gives yo umuch more freedom how you want to play the game, not just itemization but laning etc. It really sucks that you cannot play melee adc in LoL for example, I tried couple of heroes but it doesn't really work. LoL in general feels very bland and boring most of the time, still play it from time to time but mainly because one of my friends does.
Master Yi could fit that melee ADC, but i have also no real clue about DOTA2 and am thinking about starting to play the game. Though you have no spell immunity in LoL, but you can dodge a lot with a well timed Master Yi Q.
@@Faude18 ah avoiding stuff like this with Yi Q is quite a normal thing in Dota and you can do that on every hero if you buy item called Manta Style which creates 2 illusions of your characters, there is a window of invulnerability that lasts maybe half a second but if you time it right you can avoid everything almost.
@@The69Oskar69 but Yi's Q cooldown gets lowered by 70% upon killing champions and every auto attack lowers it for 1 second which allows for multiple Q's in a teamfight. I was more talking about Yi being somewhat of a melee ADC. Yasuo and Tryndamere could be called that as well.
I feel like Heartsteel must be every tank's wet dream, no matter the game. What could you want more from an item that stacks permanent max health by giving big bonks to the enemy while making your model bigger and bigger?
@@TZAR_POTATOi dont think that good compare. One give you infinity scale on HP that in some game also scale with you ability damage. Other give you HP regen base on you HP. It like the Hero of the Storm quest that give you free HP every time you collect an healing orb that make every tank try to get it even it mean put them in danger
@@TZAR_POTATOlike in this video you could saw how impactful that heartsteel can be give tank player 10000+ Extra HP but the way it work only in very long game or speed up mode game in lol aka URF.

@@HighLanderPonyYT tbh I never read Luden's beyond the AP ratio and numbers of the damage burst. And let's be honest, noone gives a shit about the movespeed either, you buy Luden's for damage, and damage alone

It should also be noted that the video undersold Black King Bar and Blink Dagger quite a bit. It's kind of a thing League doesn't really have: Items whose existence demand or allow the existence of other items and spells.
BKB isn't just a continuous cleanse, it is also a source of magical immunity, which denies half of these items on top of numerous abilities from targeting or damaging you at all. In fact, the existence of the stun-on-attack Abyssal Blade and targetted-Polymorph pretty much is only justified because hard as fuck defensive options like BKB exists too, because the game sometimes needs an hard-NOPE FUCK-YOU stun to that kind of effect. BKB is such a pressure to the game, that we've seen removing "piercing ALLIED magic immunity" be components of the balance - you also have to juggle being immune to your own team's saves. The biggest drop on that line of thought is a semi-hard exception on having both the physical immunity (ethereal effect from ghost scepter/ethereal blade) and magic immunity applied to you at the same time, since that would make you basically invulnerable for a bit.... But we just got a hero designed specifically around abusing it, Muerta (who ironically can be hard countered by similar interactions), so I don't think any preconceived notions of what's allowed or not end up meaning much.
On a similar line of thought to all of this, the reason why passive evasion on items is allowed there but went to retirement in League is also because there's 3 methods of ignoring evasion (Any Javelin Upgrade's passive accuracy, Bloodthorne+Revenant's Brooch active accuracy, and then a bunch of spread out number of guaranteed hits on items and abilities). Funnily enough, not one single of those accuracy effect is bought primarily for the accuracy aspect other than Monkey King Bar. So yeah, the summary of it is, evasion can be bought because accuracy exists all over the place, even if we only have one single de-facto counter.
Imo the core distinction between the two games:
League: a champion has a clear identity which is reinforced as the game progresses
Dota: a hero has an identity which continuously evolves as the game progresses
What kind of hero do you want with your item build? Shopkeeper says it best: "That is for you to decide."
what does a hero truly need?
Somethin I really like about dota items is that the game really lets you know that an item was used or a passive effect happened. When someone uses shivas you know why you're getting slowed. When you see someone use BKB they get bigger and as a support you know you wanna run away. If you get crit with deadalus you fucking know you just got crit because a big red number and a cheetah just roared in your ear.. Something that i struggle with in league is that every item feels like they are all just marginal improvements on the character like when you escape with 10 hp in dota and think "good thing i bought two ironwood branches instead of 1 in league every item feel like that to me.
100% feel it. There's something about the way dota 2 gives player feedback that's just unparalleled in quality to that of league.
Agreed plus every Item has great sound design.
In league you get in a fight there's 20 passives that activate at the same time you don't know what happens unless you look at the enemy build and death log after. There's some audiovisual feedback for runes but not all of them. Some shields have clear effects while other don't. Some effects like grievous wounds have a visual feedback that you can see but in the middle of a big fight it doesn't easily catch your attention and you can't always tell where it came from unless you check items and everything. It really makes the gameplay feel less impactful. you just go in and what happens happens. There's so many times I got slowed and the game doesn't explain why. You'd have to investigate between the runes, items and heroes many passives somewhere there's a conditional slow that fucked you and you had no way of understanding that during the fight. The fact that it never happens in dota shows just how well it's designed.
Some items in league do it ok, Luden's pop is decently loud but not necessarily what you're gonna notice when Annie dropped a thousand-pound bear on you for a stun.
Heartsteel I do think is decent at it, the sound effect it makes and it's criteria being an auto attack to proc makes it mostly obvious.
But then you have things like Liandry's, Jak'sho, and the like where it barely feels like anything is happening on both sides of the situation.
@@doublejacketjimmy391 agreed
I played both games (main in support position), but Dota for me is more like problem solving in all aspects of the game(even in winning). Also drafting is more complex like heroes power spikes, item and level timings. Whereas in league, almost support is a cookie cutter skill and item build. I am archon in Dota and Master at league, but it is more rewarding for me to play at Dota.
totally agree with this.
Support in league build the same exact items in the same exact order 99% of games while in dota you have to think and see what your team needs. That makes playing support very rewarding. There's a game where I built atos on dazzle because they had a sniper and we didn't have any lockdown and the moment I used it the enemy team started being more scared and it gave us enough space to catch up and win the game. Things like that never happen in lol and that's why I respect dota more as a strategy game while lol feels more like multiplayer diablo.
@natural783 give me an example of an item you built because of your teammates as support in league.
@natural783 lol have you ever played dota? This is the amount of choices and decisions you have with the most linear heroes. League choices always feel like picking a color of soda. Do you want ardent censer or blue ardent censer? Lol. It's not really a choice, it doesn't really impact your play style and it's mostly just passive power. All you described is good in a vacuum but it doesn't give you any freedom compared to dota. In dota as a support you have so many items with so many different effects like meteor hammer, aether lens, atos, urn, lotus,etc...all of these will add a very clear utility to your hero and they have a very clear purpose, not just passive power. The problem with league support items is that they're designed to be support items so in most games out of the few support items that are in the game you will make more than half of those items. This brings us back to how riot wants you to play the way they want. Dota doesn't have support items. They have items with utility and items with stats/ power. Riot designs everything in a little package that's supposed to be used in a very specific way and this is why support is so boring in that game. You end up with the same exact build except minor things that's as exciting as changing the colors of your characters shoes.
@natural783 so you're just mad that I didn't praise your favorite game? Lol
Item build is still the hardest thing in Dota. newbies or even pros
Remembering Collapse forgetting not buying bkb instead of linken to counter rubick lift
Sad times.
League: buy these items and you're all set
Dota: it all depends. you probably need mana boots and a magic wand. other than that, good luck! if you buy something you shouldnt buy, your team will let you know!
This goes to show the skill ceiling in Dota vs LOL. Items in Lol are mostly passives like the vidoe says do you can just turn off your brain while you play. While in dota, not only do items are actives some also give you 1 or more extra skills so you’re literally playing a piano w Dota w all the buttons you gotta press and memorize
There are a handful of items and hero passives in Dota that give increased melee range (Broom Handle and Penta-Edged Sword) but they are all Neutral Items which are special items dropped from the jungle camp monsters
Also if you thought Meteor Hammer was already nuts, Phoenix can channel it while using their Icarus Dive ability!!
I didn't include neutral items or trinkets here (except for like 3 seconds at the start)
@@TZAR_POTATO right, just wanted to mention it since you mentioned attack range with the dragon lance
Basically the fucking bird becomes a carpet bomber every 15-20 seconds xD
By the way the fact that this video came out just 3 months ago and it's still already outdated on both games for so many items really shows how fast things can change in this genre of videogames.
player: the enemy is kiting me what can you suggest an item for me?
league: increase your movement speed or increase your defense
dota: here pick; eye of skadi, blink dagger, shadow blade, abyssal blade, shiva's guard
page 1 of 5 options
Scyth of vyse, Euls scepter, ¿Meme hammer?
Also consider Boots of Travel for changing the kiting scope from micro to macro, but with you on the lead this time.
If an enemy is kiting it'd be Rod of Atos for some who can nuke but no move speed or if you have move speed but can't deal dmg, bloodthorn can work.
Depends on which hero you are really.
Also force/hurricane pike?
Also harpoon now... and I guess aghanim's scepter and shard... Technically.
If you do a video on DotA2's talents and LoL's champion passives you can combined with this highlight the biggest difference. In DotA2 practicly all champions are flex champions: having at the very least two very distinct playstyles. In LoL that's rarely the case and half of the flex-roles are not intended initially (I will never forget AP Master Yi)
Oh, what a cool idea!
Yep its true. Almost all heroes in dota can be any role. (Carry, mid, support etc) and they can flex between attack dmg based or spell based.
However, the higher in rank you go the harder it is fight the meta. You'll be punished hard for trying to play carry as a support hero because the top players just know the game too well, especially if the enemy team is in a stack.
@@curtisstephens4482 it's 7.33 , fucking everything meta is out the window! I showed a divine player my AM mid build and he spams it now, meta be fucked!

@@mu0nt893 Thank you!
This is a really cool video. It makes a lot of the exact arguments ive made about why LoL items system is just filler and despite having so many items there is only like 10 viable on any given champ. Ive always thought the Talent system in Heroes of the Storm was a far better system because its not pretending you have all this freedom but instead giving you a few synergistic picks every couple levels that can completely change playstyle of a hero.
Well put, it's "filler" !! Hadn't thought of it that way.
Yes this is true. I mean all of the champions have their kit "perfected" so they don't need any more abilities. They need stat check. On the other hand DotA Heroes need items to support their playstyle.
@@rayznshine totally
@@rayznshine yes. A lot of heroes desperately need a blink dagger to be even remotely useful lol

Dota items feel so powerful. I like the part where Ashe meets Drow Ranger.

@@TZAR_POTATO Do you stream as well? If you do you should link your Twitch so both platforms can find you.
@@tylerteracide I do stream, yeah. No need for the platforms to clash though. Other than the streams that I coach league players learning dota, my content from both platforms is pretty different.
On top of being more boring and less impactful, League's actives also have much longer cooldowns.
Also, League actives never cost mana because not all champions have mana, while in Dota a lot of actives do consume mana as well, often justifying smaller cooldowns.
Think its intentional, from what I've seen and experienced, league is Champion first then items. Obviously, this has its pros and cons.
@@firelynx1266 it is intentional, but i personally dont like it
Wait. Characters without mana? That's weird
@@lees4416 other champs use energy (particularly Ionian champions) or don't use any type of energy source.
@@lees4416 some champions use a resource called "energy", others use their own hp to cast abilities
Dota's item building feels way better for me, because in league it feels like I'm buying an item just so I can get stronger. When I buy an item in Dota, I'm doing it with a higher and smarter purpose than just getting stronger.
For example:
I bought an Aeon Disk and not only am I stronger, it was a smart decision so I can avoid getting killed by the enemy sniper!
I like dota more, coz every problem will have solution... if my team losing early game.. we just simply buy item that counter enemy team, and we win late game😂...
but in league if we losing early game.. n enemy get their item first.. we almost always lost in late game.....
dota is problem solving game
lol is speed farming game
On LoL, wild builds are for trolling. On Dota, wild builds are for necessity in your current matchup.
Because in Lol, you deal with your matchup using your skills, not your item. It's much more unforgiving.
OMG, the current meta as of typing this on Meteor Hammer XD. Almost everyone gets that item now.
Right? I even buy it on axe, i mean how can you beat 5 sec aoe cc
50 seconds in and you already dropped more "how is league different from dota" knowledge than I see some threads do.
is this the first vid you've seen from my comparison playlist? you might like the others even more :D
I'll give a brief example of what items in Dota 2 can do, Earthshaker as an example, you can build him as support initiator with blink dagger, force staff, urn, but you could also go for aghanim and daedalus and become a massive nuker and if you want even more CC than he already has than just buy meteor hammer. Dota items can change the playstyle of every hero and still make it work in the long run.
Man this really just highlights the difference between dota 2 and league at its core, from items to heroes to gameplay. One item in league seems complex cuz it has a billion fluff words to make it flashy and “cool” and it just increases your aoe dps (surprise, lol). One item in dota simply floats your target in the air for a second or two, but it has a huge and wide range of how you use that in game that can change the entire course of a team fight. Save an ally, purge a debuff, hold an enemy in the air to catch up to them, hold an enemy in the air to get them out of the way to deal with their friends. Can’t do all 4 at same time cuz cooldown, so you gotta think ahead and assess every situation to make the most impact with it. All from a very simple concept, but this is dota so it has very wide ranging implications and uses. League replaces strategic open endedness and game impact with flashiness in almost every situation. Look at the most complex league heroes, they’re made hard because you have 80 buttons to press. In dota, even simple heroes/items have wide ranging strategic implications to it cuz the game is so deep past just button pressing. And also dota has button press hero too. Like Meepo, he doesn’t just require good micro, he requires good macro Ontop of that because his unique strengths and weaknesses have serious implications to how you tackle every single matchup and teammate. Oh, and don’t forget about item timings
The reason lol items have so much text is because they are very fine tuned for balance, not to seem cool. Every part of the item description is there to make it viable on many champs while not being broken on any of them.
@@dmon9333 LOL is not very really that "fine tuned" compared to Dota though
@@dmon9333 and yet league item build is very linear
@@dmon9333 I don’t think so, the finely tuned aspect of an item or weapon doesn’t require walls of text because whether an item is finely tuned to be balanced or not is entirely reliant on the environment it’s in. A single item like Euls Scepter can be finely tuned for balance in dota and constantly is, despite being very simple. They just occasionally change the price or disable time to fit the meta so that it’s balanced. League weapons are over tuned in that case, in a way that gets in the way of game balance not aid it because they’re so absurdly overly convoluted and therefore convoluted to adjust for the meta and balance.
This video is really amazing. I mainly play DoTA and sometimes play League because of Fiddle. I kinda' got lazy playing League once the new Fiddle came out (didn't like that they removed his movement speed passive). So I thought to play a support champion instead, as you see playing a Mage/Caster in League is as really simple as building AP from start to finish. Moreover, he's already Sand King with a Blink for me so the intuition and instinct I have from playing DoTA doesn't change much. The problem with the support role however, is remembering the items part. I'm fine pressing more than 5 buttons to support but I just can't remember each every damn item as a support, so I just don't play League now.
This video really helped me for the comparisons. Amazing work.
Glad that you like it! I'm also a dota player, but after this patch... oh man, the more dota tries to be heroes of the storm or league, the more I wonder why I don't play more hots or league. I mean, if dota wants to be them... that's a sign?
@@TZAR_POTATO One thing I can confidently tell you about the new patch, is that its absolutely bonkers and I'm loving it lmao. Of course, as for the direction where DotA is heading, well... even I can't really tell. Some may meme about this but I really do trust the Frog himself to guide this game.
Much of DotA patches and changes have many times, come from the community themselves. Even as far back to the DotA Allstars Forums. As long as IceFrog is still the same as he was, and they were (whoever his current team is right now) too, then I'm all in for it.

Dota Items can turn any heroes the most broken, annoying, can evade almost everything, Magic or Physical Build, Bulkier (even a support/squishy hero), Dodge Master, Skill/Item spammers, 1 Hit killer.
More or less anyone can build their own items with limitations like Melee/Range and questioning yourself
"Is this really needed to impact for THE ENTIRE TEAM?"
YES. yes, anyone should have access to any items with little down sides aside from inventory space :D
@@TZAR_POTATOThe addition of universal heroes as a concept I think enforces that as an idea
Not sure about that. Suddenly, some heroes benefit from all-stats items a lot more than anyone else does, meaning that common damage items are sort of obsolete for them. @@nicreven
Mostly I meant that in the way of, like, universal right clickers can buy any item they need without having to worry about the stats. If they want health and damage, they can get strength, if they want mana and damage, they get int, etc. Maybe it's not really anything like that though, I'm very bad at dota lmao@@TZAR_POTATO
Great video. Had a thought while watching that League's Arena mode has some unique mechanics that are missing from the regular games, like refreshing ultimates, polymorph, invisibillity. Certain augments change what a champion can normally do in a way items don't.
People sometimes describe Dota with the phrase " if everyone is overpowered, no one is" and I think that applies to League of Legends Arena as well!
Peeved it got removed for the next season too
when starting out DotA as a support: "I only need to worry about my active skills? this is gonna be easy!"
.
after a year playing DotA as a support: "I NEED MORE FINGERS TO ACTIVATE MY ITEMS!!!"
Lol: You are the same thing in the early game and the late game but more powerful
Dota: You can be so much different from the early game
What does a hero truly need?

Great video, have you ever thought about making a video about mechanical skill in league vs dota? Personally I think since league is a much simpler game there's a lot more focus on raw mechanical skill while dota being a much more complex game is not so focused on that and it's more about strategy. It could also explain the age differences of league pros vs dota, you are lucky to be a league player above the age of 21-22 since there's always a new 17 yo mechanical prodigy somewhere ready to take your spot but that's considered young in Dota
I feel like that's an easy way for me to make enemies... better I stick to gameplay concepts and game design for a while longer :p
@@TZAR_POTATO lmao probably true, but I do believe it's the most fundamental difference between the two games. I think it shows in how league has made a very active effort in removing point and click enemy target abilities, while Dota doesn't even see it as an issue.

Comparing regen in dota and lol is a bit senseless to me personally, like yes corruption potion refills in teh base like in dota.

You barely buy regen in league, despite them being techincally similar cause you reset a lot more and get regen in your base/fountain.

This is one of the reason why dota fans and community still loves dota even only less than 3 new hero added in every upadate but ton of item and mechanic change and additional that make newly fresh meta thus making different kind of playstyle for almost all heroes in every update.

Dota is so flexible you can do Phoenix mid with Dagon and dominate the freaking game.
It is really flexible but if I see you going dagon on phoenix I will have some great concerns..
@@TZAR_POTATO I know it sounds bizarre but the worst part is that it works hahah. Phoenix doesn't really have proper scalling items, and since he is Universal he does really benefict from the atributes and the spell lifesteal. It also weirdly synergizes with his high mobility, dps and strong ability to bait.
It only really works properly on mid tough (Phoenix is a surprisingly good mid), since that way he can scale better being able to properly obliterate anyone in seconds from early-to-mid Game, in the end you get the cost back.
Is something you don't really think can be pulled out but it works if you know how to do it. Is a strat my brother tought out of nowhere, he is the best Phoenix player I have ever seen.
I really like Dota 2 as a whole, but i really hate it's item system. I've always wanted it to be more like league's, that is, actually buffing what your specific hero does, instead of just making everyone be able to do everything

This is why Lol is so much better. Champ have clear identity and gameplay to reinforce it. Dota heroes is a sack of item that can contain anything. But every sack is the same.
Basically,
League:"Hello champion, take this sword to make your hammer strikes stronger"
Dota:"HellO Herooooooo!!!! Take this hammer to shoot fucking meteors out of the fucking sky to destroy and waste anything that stands in your way!!! Damage? I guess it gives you stats which gives you damage but i dont think you can use it to attack someone, its ornamental. It does heal and regen your mana though."
I, personally, enjoy a "passive stacking" style of itemization. Less buttons to press are better to invite new players in, but the items must do a LOT to justify changing the builds.
I dont blame LoL's boring itemization on the items, i blame it on the champions and on how some stats are just borked from the beginning. Dota champions offer much more from their approach to their skills compared to LoL's "everyone is fast and burtsts everyone else's with damage" appoach to character creation
In the unigque catergory, orb have the same effect to slow enemy movement speed though
The idea of building stuff purely for the Effects or hell, just getting a pure durability item on an otherwise glass cannon does seem far off at times in league, it might provide survivability and movement speed, but if you were going to build a dead man’s plate on an ADC then you’d get yelled at, in that role you need to (or at least are pressured to) hyperfocus on damage as much as possible even If that really isn’t the issue you’re facing at that point.
It’s not impossible though, I mostly play Tanks, bulky Mages or bruisers and I feel there is more room there to look into other areas around there, a lot of mage and fighter items give HP already, if I wanted to get Warmogs for Hp regen or Spirit visage for synergy, well, I’m not sacrificing nearly as much as I would if I was getting that stat anyway.
Still hindered by the AP/AD split granted, no amount of Crowd control immunity will get your team off your back if they see you with a silvermere dawn or something as a mage.
It might have been mentioned in another video, but in exchange for not having quite as many active items, league does have Summoner Spells, I think flash specifically was placed to make up for a lack of blink dagger.
As a final note, I do wish League had more things comparable to Aganim’s sceptre or HOTS talents, there really is something appealing to changing how an ability inherently works.
You can extend the duration of the Tango 2x more by
Using it on a Iron branch tree
Or by planting it.
There's also the fact that Dota has neutral items (not sure if you already made a video of it but yeah just saying).
Played both games
Had fun, but mostly play Dota now
I see League as the typ of game when i want to do cool things
Solo fights, outplays etc the flashy stuffs. EQ flash EQ into ult (Yasou).
But it feels too static
Or unchanging
Like every fight feels the same most of the time.
While Dota makes you think more on team Synergies, map controls, stacking, map awareness like supports using tp when a lane gets gone on. Denying creeps, pulling creep aggro and so on.
Good video you should get more views
How? vid got downvoted hard in reddit
Shiva's is more like Frozen Heart.
Is music choice cioncidence or are you referencing "Dota 2 Tips"? :D
Coincidence, though I heard it there first. I was looking for a long time for no-copyright edm that's actually good, and remembered it worked for dota 2 tips so why not for me?
@TZAR POTATO can you link the first song pls
@@kiranaryal3641 string concertos Vivaldi
@@TZAR_POTATO sorry I meant on 5:30 really banger song
I subscribed to your channel because I realised you're actually a new channel and also give good information.
Now you shall give me the name of the song you use when comparing the items😂
hahaha ok ok:
massive attack teardrop contra
zhu faded delta
it's different outlaw
@@TZAR_POTATO Thanks, may your channel grow bigger. You are underrated tbh.
@@SalahuddeenYT Thanks back!
lol players when they has to press more than 4 buttons: 🤯🤯🤯🤯
They can handle 6.
What is the name of the song / remix playing at 10:25.
its interesting how these 2 similar game took 2 routes. dota 2 after paying since dota 1 the devs there stop caring but i still gotta give them credit for the versatility. lets not forget the learning curve.. its not an easy game to learn the basics (items, spells, comobs etc) but to master it, i think its equally hard for both games as i wont deny enjoying LoL for a bit too. But dota arcades got me back to them lol whats your view on it?
I like dota more.
Dota Arcades>>>>
Dota 1x6, Overthrow 3.0, ChC, Troll vs Elves...
@@ghos_ty3157 I like aghs lab, but you didn't list it :(
what's the song playing in the background?
I feel like mythics were put in for this reason, but now, with mythic status being removed, they should do this with normal items
They said that items across the board are getting nerfed with the next season :/
@@TZAR_POTATO hopefully this mean they will add new items.(lol its riot)
Can pls give the song link at 7:00 great vid btw
i've been searchinh for an hour
Massive Attack - Teardrop (Contra Bootleg). I asked for that on his stream :D.
My friends are drying to get me into Dota but it's so excessive 😩
The biggest patch in 3 years just dropped, game is chaos and nobody knows what is going on
dota has a lot of really good noob freindly features that really help you get used to the game. You can select any hero during a match and you can see and read all their items and abilities. guided builds can be selected and tell you what items to buy in what order as well as skill order and have tooltips that explain what the items do in a eli5 way as well as explain the item synergies with your hero. Finally dota has the coaching system. if you know someone who plays dota you can let them spectate you ping things, ping items to buy, and even draw on your screen or map.
@@bradfin12 point is, guides are instantly outdated from the patch, meta is out the window, tutorials are sometimes too buggy to even complete... it's chaos out there!
@@TZAR_POTATO if you're new meta doesn't matter. If you're at the point where you are worrying about meta game you are no longer a beginner.
@@TZAR_POTATO guides are for when you don't know what all the items do or how items synergies with your hero yet. You play with guides until you know the items well enough to know what items to buy in which situations without being told.
Liandry is similiar to witch blade, both apply a dot damage and Rylai is pretty much the same as Skadi from Dota. The only difference is that in Dota these debuffs are applied by auto attacks and in LoL by spells. I would say these are actually the closest ones from all the items you have shown :p Besides from that Dota in general gives yo umuch more freedom how you want to play the game, not just itemization but laning etc. It really sucks that you cannot play melee adc in LoL for example, I tried couple of heroes but it doesn't really work. LoL in general feels very bland and boring most of the time, still play it from time to time but mainly because one of my friends does.
Master Yi could fit that melee ADC, but i have also no real clue about DOTA2 and am thinking about starting to play the game. Though you have no spell immunity in LoL, but you can dodge a lot with a well timed Master Yi Q.
@@Faude18 ah avoiding stuff like this with Yi Q is quite a normal thing in Dota and you can do that on every hero if you buy item called Manta Style which creates 2 illusions of your characters, there is a window of invulnerability that lasts maybe half a second but if you time it right you can avoid everything almost.
@@The69Oskar69 but Yi's Q cooldown gets lowered by 70% upon killing champions and every auto attack lowers it for 1 second which allows for multiple Q's in a teamfight. I was more talking about Yi being somewhat of a melee ADC. Yasuo and Tryndamere could be called that as well.
@@The69Oskar69actually Window much lower than 0.5, just saying😂
@@The69Oskar69 not something ez to do. Not all dota player is rtz. Dodging spell with blink dagger is easier to do for newbie
5:38 i thought mango is more common early game?
Only some supports love spamming out mangos. It's pretty costly!
nice video, subbed
Much appreciated! Hope you like all my other vids too
I feel like Heartsteel must be every tank's wet dream, no matter the game. What could you want more from an item that stacks permanent max health by giving big bonks to the enemy while making your model bigger and bigger?
Dota's item Heart Of Terrasque is better, in that it gives 1.6% max hp regen / sec, even in combat.
@@TZAR_POTATOi dont think that good compare. One give you infinity scale on HP that in some game also scale with you ability damage. Other give you HP regen base on you HP. It like the Hero of the Storm quest that give you free HP every time you collect an healing orb that make every tank try to get it even it mean put them in danger
@@TZAR_POTATOlike in this video you could saw how impactful that heartsteel can be give tank player 10000+ Extra HP but the way it work only in very long game or speed up mode game in lol aka URF. That HP will improve some of lol champion damage to make them became unkillable oneshot machine if the game take long enough ( which never happen unless it a special mode)

What is the name of the music during item comparison?
Hiciste un video sobre el competitivo de dota vs lol ? Did you make a video about the competitive of dota vs lol?
Not yet.
You only use Q and R heroes but when you buy Dota's items, you can be ASDZXC..
4:15
What the fuck
Since when did Luden's give movement speed?
I literally never knew or noticed that and I have played League for over a year now
Reading tooltips is OP. :D
@@HighLanderPonyYT tbh I never read Luden's beyond the AP ratio and numbers of the damage burst. And let's be honest, noone gives a shit about the movespeed either, you buy Luden's for damage, and damage alone
not really, i can think at least 5
-necronomicon is the bane of support player, used to hate it until i use it on lycan/beast myself
-bloodstone as snowball item in timbersaw, then theres a patch where it cuts respawn timer. its so op
-im not playing enough in t his patch but the totem damage reduction item is op
-this is just me but i hate poor man shield era
-octarine on release gave spell lifesteal iirc, really op
Sir ple what's the name of the song @ 5:01?
You forgot Armlet a unique and very interesting item
I never forget. I just didn't include.
How did you forget to mention Armlet and Mata dodge
I didn't forget.
What’s the first song in this video?
