To everyone concerned with the volume/quality of my mic- please check out my other videos! I have since gotten a new mic and better headphones, so that is no longer an issue. Additionally, I recently made a video about one of my favorite MOBAs, Battlerite, which you can check out here: ruclips.net/video/fGglV9NcxxE/видео.html
Nathan Walker great video man but I needs to be updated. Smites map is bigger now so your argument about the map being small is invalid. But the toxicity is still rampant.
Probably in VR when there's tech to connect your brain to virtual reality and you literally think that you are the character , lifelike simulation. I hope i live so long, that i will see next generation games wich , maybe in 2070~ ? :D
After playing Smite for about 2 1/2 years: Smite in a nutshell: You rock! You rock! You rock! Cancel that! Help! Help! Help! Help! Thanks Thanks You rock Woohoo! Thanks!
Argh the feels. I remember so many great mods that came on Wc3. Tower defense run kitty run anime wars nvb angel arena. If only blizzard would fucking stop milking the tits from ppls wallets of Wow and listen to the fans dying for an rts with full moding tools. Then I can unis tall all these fucking mobas and enjoy wc mods again with unlimited capabilities.
Revisit SMITE. Map has been expanded, also the toxicity thing is not much of a problem for the rest of us non-Loki players. I’m sorry but you complained about toxicity while playing Loki. He is easily the most hated God in Smite. Nobody likes Loki players, not even Loki players themselves.
@@Megumin_2_Kawaii OH please, I can Carry with my *NEITH* shes the BEST in MID and DOU and also Arena .... *ZEUS stares at me* HEM thats right, ZEUS is the BEST and the GREATEST in MID and DOU, also Arena and Joust, Haha .... ha ..... I'm dead am i? *Zeus Nods*
As a League player, I often wanted to switch to the appearently superior Dota 2. But as you mentioned: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to get into the game unless your willing to spend hundreds and hundreds of hours into it, which I am not willing to do. It's really a shame that you basically need a bachelors degree on the game to play it, but am I sure for everyone who understands the game it is also a blessing.
Yea, Fortnite also sucks, its just an overhyped flavor of the month garbage, Overwatch sucks too, it died out. RTS genre in general is dead too, who the fuck plays rts who arent robotic koreans these days? CS:GO is nothing but a russian meme anymore, its a joke. Oh and XBox is way worse than Playstation, I mean it would be if PS itself werent a pile of garbage aswell. Fighting games? Who the fuck can take mashing buttons seriously? Pacman is old as fuck, its ridicoulus. Robin Hood: Legend of Shervood is a fucking discount game, my brother got it as a gift with a gaming magazine. Indie games are buggy as fuck and overated just becouse its wow so unique and not made by the big companies. Speaking of big companies, EA is a fucking lootbox simulator while Blizzard games are balanced by a group of monkeys. Point and click adventure games are fucking pointless, I would rather play Tetris, if it werent so fucking boring. VR games are the future? They make me fucking vomit. Take my edge and leave
Dota Player: Dota 2 is the best League of Legends Player: LoL is the best Heroes of the Storm Player: HotS is the best Smite Player: Smite is the best So which Moba really is the best? Unanimously: Heroes of Soulcraft
Kenny No i did stop playing, don’t get me wrong though. I want to play, one of my friends is telling me it’s more fun now, but I’m not playing for a while. Also riot employees somehow make it so addicting that even if you hate it, you play it.
I like Smite the most because everything is a Skill shot, I like the fact that if I'm dodging around I'm actually dodging thing and if I'm landing this it's because I was accurate enough to land it.
Yep, i just love being able to juke a fed adc's basic attacks while at 20% health and escape in the jungle. In any point and click moba's in that same situation you are straight up dead, cuz homing basic attacks
Nate Higgers I don’t see how you can say that it doesn’t add any skill while at the same time comparing it to a genre that takes the most skill (fighting games)
Nate Higgers you just Side step the point while simultaneously using bad examples (the point) is that skill shots are better because holding down mouse 1 and hitting me for free is Lame compared to actually aiming at you and hitting you with basics and abilities
My fav thing in smite is still buying skins where the "quiet" command is funny. Like for the Jing Wei Mini Metal skin her Quiet command says "Just shut up already"
yeah Dota is impossible to get into. Even more so if you come from league of Legends. Nothing makes sense, everything is confusing. Why are there threes, why does my spacebar move my screen to the center of the map? Why does it take forever to get into a game, why is the map not mirrowed? I dont understand anything.
I've been playing League of Legends since season 2, and I know Dota 2 is ultimately better but I literally cannot play it at all just because of the camera. The camera in league feels perfect for me and that's the reason I still play it.
I thought im the single one facing this problem. I usually rage on league, open up Dota, where I rage as well cause I don't understand shit and proceed to run it down mid with the courier
Dota 2 is far worse than League, League actually approaches the realm of "a good game" - it's really not a great game, but they're trying at least, there's a lot to like. Dota 2 is just a shitshow of bad design choices and jank, people who say that D2 is better are nostalgia blinded oldies, haven't played League enough to realize it's the less-shit alternative, just in denial.. I refuse to believe anyone's taste is that terrible lol
I know this has been out for awhile but it just popped up in my feed. You hit the nail on the head about DOTA 2, I tried getting into a couple months ago and it’s extremely overwhelming for new players to get into.
I once played a normal game in low levels (around 20) and my entire team were some arabs roleplaying as terrorists. They did Techies combo or some shit like that and screamed Allah Akbar in voice chat. I have less than 100 hours on Dota. 10/10
me: "hi guys let's have fun!" rando1: yeah I'll go dazzle daedalus skadi / rando2: BLYAT CYKA PIZDET / rando3: kurwa / rando4: trag pula While enemies use freaking shackle - force staff - branch combos or get void+lich+aa or some shit. 5/7 worth it.
Personally as someone who has only played Smite, I absolutely love it. However, I can see why if someone coming from other games wouldnt like it. Its just different. But amazing. Mute the toxic players and enjoy the game. And also, on console, toxic players are cut by about 75%
Just switched from console to pc, and u r damn right Pc players are sooo toxic, egocentric and are kinda cringe Anyways, im taking ur tip to the practice
Also it's kinda ironic he says one guy will get fed and 1 shot you (100% talking about master yi) but shows a clip of dota of somebody getting one shot. Abilities in dota are more powerful and 1 shots are even more common, yes in league if someone is fed they will one shot you but ONLY if they're fed while Lina just hit 6 and you disappeared.
@@WarHawk215 Not to mention most spells in dota are targeted, meaning you just point and click and it does everything for you lol. At least if a Zed/Riven gets fed, they need to be mechanically sound (outside of really low elo anyway. so like p1+). And the laning phase is a "dumbed down fighting game" where you take turns trading mindlessly? I think I'm beginning to understand why he was bronze. What is wave management/manipulation? What are cooldowns? What is macro? Vision? Priority? Tethering? Tempo? Etc. It's weird how Dota players love to jerk about their game being the "best" or the "hardest" or whatever. I really enjoy both games, but play more league since I enjoy it more, the mechanics, champions, etc, is all just way more fun imo. I have no problem with dota, but the players are insufferable. Every /r/Dota2 thread, every twitch chat convo, etc, is all mentioning league of legends and how dota is better. Even Purge's 7.0 rundown had him saying "what is this fucking league of legends?" multiple times. Like why can't dota players just play their game and enjoy it instead of fueling their superiority complexes. Lol.
@@bleakff595 He did warn us that he is gonna be biased but he didn't warn us that he is gonna be ignorant, he had bad experience with league and that can happen when you're new to a moba and not knowing how your champion works especially playing them like dota. And yeah it's bizarre just how dota 2 players loves to shit on league and say their game is far superior meanwhile almost nobody in league is shit talking dota 2. I feel like part of it is just the dota demographic, part of it is nostalgia from dota 1, and part of it is hipster mentality of not doing the most mainstream thing. I'd say both games are good in their own right but at the end numbers speak for themselves and for most people league is the better game for the reasons that you mentioned.
TI8 is the best TI.. IMO, if at least your team do proper communication (not abusing) and dont tilt, you are good.. Thats why the best way to play dota is by party of 5.. But as far lately, i rarely find toxic player and my random teamate atleast try to win (sea server btw)
Football is so boring, so as league(20 mins no kill in grand finals rofl) to watch yet many people watch it so its technically league=football. Dota 2 is fun to watch, more actions(can have 30 combine team kills in 20 min mark) than league can achieve, thats why ti is better than the worlds, in the gameplay i think lol is more fun because of fast pace game and easy to get into the game yet dota 2 is more competitive because of more balanced game and complex gameplay than the other mobas
Raison you don’t? You have to spend your blue essence on a champ very rarely and it only takes a few hours of game time to buy the champ you want towards the start of the game, and you don’t have to buy runes idk where you or that from
I've also been playing different MOBAs for years, and I think HotS is severely underrated. Most heroes do cost a lot and that's a topic the community is talking about right now, but other than that, with *no lasthitting* and no gold/item shop, it's definitely the easiest MOBA to get into as a new player, and it isn't lacking in depth. You mentioned Cho'gall as 2 people in 1 body, and Ragnaros who can transform into a building and rain death from above, there's also Abathur who aids his allies from wherever he is globally, never directly fighting with his body, and can control cloned allies, The Lost Vikings where you're 3 seperate bodies trying to get as much team XP and map pressure as one person can manage, the healer Auriel whose healing resource is directly tied to her and a bound ally dealing damage to enemy heroes, etc etc.. Then there are healing fountains with a cooldown near buildings and regen globes from minions to keep your sustain up, healers in every game, no items that require a shop, and mounts for out of combat movement, to make sure you hardly ever go back to base or stop fighting. It's less farming and walking, more constant combat, and I love that.
You forgot to mention its maps though. HotS may have it easier in learning how to play Who but it definitely is a lot harder to learn how the play the Maps because there's just a lot of them and you have to learn all of them at the same time. This also makes Hots Macro hard to master with the amount of Maps when you multiply it by the number of heroes you play. However, the positive side for new players is, the Maps are individually pretty simple. You just have to understand it, and once you do, the design of HotS that aims to spoonfeed its players on what to do and what is going on makes it easy to get decent at. Though mastering them takes time because there's a lot of them. Hots Maps = Many but straightforward spoon fed objectives = Hard to Learn them all, Easy to learn individually and Hard to master all, easy to master individually (if you focus on one at a time) Compared to dota = 1 map but really huge and you have to figure out the objectives on your own = Easy to Learn, Hard to Master I can't speak about the Smite and LoL as I haven't played them but these 2 have their own pros and cons depending on the audience. HotS is friendlier to new and casual players while Dota is better at keeping dedicated players on their toes. Whichever you are, it's up to you to decide. But as for me, there are times where I'm the casual player wanting to chill and other times where I just like to get my brain working and strategizing on how to play the map. Though I do wish Dota structures fall a lot quicker.. I prefer HotS' less than 20 minute matches... Dota losses tend to be really slow even when the game is basically sealed.
I do not understand the complaints that the heroes are expensive (new heroes are expensive only 1 month), when they are literally giving you gold all the time for doing nothing or making the daily missions (in 1 month you can easly buy 3 heroes), and you must count the events where they have given more than 1 hero for free.
you actually did a really good job on not having a biased opinion. I personally am a league of legends fan boy and I have been since season 1, and i would never be able to make a video like this without making my game sound really good. Thanks for genuine honest video.
From what I’ve seen from this video it all comes down to personal preference. I prefer smite over any other because I much prefer 3rd person view over top down because it adds a higher skill gap
Fam the 3rd person doesn’t really add a higher skill gap, it’s just a different view point so you have to play it a different way. DOTA 2 has a MUCH higher skill gap for a giant amount of mechanics
LoL - carring game before get cancer from community Dota 2 - eating trees to gain hp HotS - comunism, no gold, everybody have the same lvl i team Smite - WHERE ARE SLAVIC GODS?
Yeah. For me it’s 1. Awesomenauts 2. Battlerite 3. HOTS 4. League 5. Dota(I have tried so many times to get into it but I just can’t, I will prob try again soon lol...) 6. Smite (I don’t care about smite I have like 2 hours and it didn’t interest me.)
My favorite one is HotS. I love the characters and all the lore behind it (I actually got invested in the Blizzard universes because of HotS), you have over 10 maps with different objectives and different strategies required, it's easy to get into, but it still offers room for mastering, the ballancing is mostly good, you can get the skins you like without real money (with some exceptions), you never get stomped by one fed enemy or get really dragged behind by a feeder thanks to the shared exp system and I do love that you can choose your ultimate ability. It looks great, by the usual standard of Blizzard, and it doesn't have an all chat, which lowers the toxicity (you will still get some toxic teammates, but you get my point). However you are not wrong. The customization can feel a little lackluster, especially on some characters that have a build better than every other one, and sometimes you will have no talent that counters the enemies if you didn't drafted some specific heroes. 2.0 made it harder for people to get new heroes because a lot of gold can be spend on rerolls (even thought it's not mandatory, but what else are you gonna do when you see you got 4 voice lines?) and loot chests will drop heroes rarely. Sometimes you'll feel you can't carry no matter how hard you try, but after all it's a team game, so I don't mind that much. I think this game's strongest points are the variety of maps, the unique mechanics and heroes (you won't find heroes like Cho'Gall, Abathur, Murky etc. in other MOBAs) and how easy it is to get into it. It also feels less stressing than the others even in ranked games.
Agreed. It's also my favorite, though the criticisms towards it in this video are fair. Honestly though while I enjoy all 4 games, the uniqueness present in HOTS is a breath of fresh air to me. I've been seeing the same map and hero archtypes since Tides of Blood (The precursor to DOTA), and it feels great to see so much innovation in the genre. Also Blizzard universe helps.
I have to agree as well. Very fun game, always fresh and high intensity action. From early game to late game and with all the maps plus unique heroes this game is a blast!
Maybe you are right, maybe not. Both games are so much better played with friends so I don't often go solo queue. I think it's just the fact that it's harder to carry in Hots even as a team of 3 than to carry in LoL the bad randoms.
Yes, in LoL one feeder will ruin your game. In HotS it take at least TWO feeders to ruin your game. I have gotten games like this... but it's still an improvement.
same, i like it to. i love playing lucio and speeding everyone around the map, his healing isnt the best until lv16 and 20 but thats not why i picked em....SPEED!!! VROOM!!!
I find my biggest problem with LoL and DoTA2 is the map size :(, it is so daunting to get into a game with such a large map. HoTS does it pretty great with changing up the map pools, even the largest maps in HoTS is no where near as large as DoTA or LoL. Too bad the meta of HoTS is a stale mess, it's been exactly the same for a full year. Yes, there have been heroes added, but the same heroes are picked and banned every single time. The new heroes seem to be created completely OP to entice people to buy them so they can own with them before they get nerfed too. Anyway, your video was pretty good :).
Loving HotS due to the different maps with different objectives. Also love that there aren't items. Talent system is def a better system imo. League can be fun with friends, but then if one friend makes a mistake or two, an enemy gets fed, buys op items and just 1shots everything. And Dota2 is like the Black Desert Online of Mobas, where it is just overwhelming and thus a pain to even get into.
Dota 2 is worse than lol in terms of getting fed and destroying the other team ...i played once and somebody got a doublekill...nobody was able to kill that person for the rest of the game while he butchered us . The point is in league you can itemise against specific champions bcs you pretty much have items for everithing ( too much healing on the enemy team ..go buy antiheal items as an example) and a losing team can win if they are smart enough to use their brains . I dont like that in hots you cant carry so its a major flow for the game bcs watching pro play is boring af and you have to rely on others in order to win. In lol if you are good enough you can carry an entire team all by yourself . Just imagine the satisfaction . All of the hours of mastering a champion paying off. You cant experience this in hots .
@@calindanielbelibou6137 cuz Dota is mostly a strategy about resource management. Instead of using skill u will mostly like defeat enemy by overfarming, pushing, using ur advantages to win fights and etc. Pressing buttons in dota is easy, but u need to use it wisely. In other mobas I feel like it's much more about mechanic skill and teamwork.
I like lol as a game, but the locked heroes is annoying. Dota has all heroes free. Unlike smite. and hots locked heroes take weeks of grinding for an epic Edit: learning what all the heroes do is probably the hardest part for new players too
As a smite player, i like hots (heroes of the storm) more because it has so much more unique heroes to play cho'gal, abathur, lost vikings so many interesting heroes and the leveling is amazing, i love playing azmodan and either leveling his beam, minion spam or just get every active (i play hots casually so i dont care what i level), i just hate how every hero cost 10k, its just too much gold to collect and thats one of the main reasons i dont main hots (also cuz i have spent over 1k on smite but dont tell anyone)
As a mostly league player the main thing that made it hard for me to get into it is the HUD and particles. I found it far harder to pay attention to what's going on, my health, other ppl's health, npcs health, where champions are in fights, etc than it is in other mobas
The Best moba for you is probably the 1st you ever played and.. You will try to get into something else hoping for better experience but eventually you came back to the good old rathole you know and love.
I have played all four, and it truly is a tough situation to put yourself in. They all shine in their different ways, and all have their moments of extreme suck.
I played all the four for a long time, here's my opinion -LoL: The easiest to pick up, if you're a newbie. In low levels, the game can be really fun (even better if you have friends), but by every season passes, the game becomes even more competitive. Everyone picking meta chraracters, even in normals ffs. No one wants to have fun with idiot troll builds and champs anymore. Not to mention the game is well known for its brutal toxicity. Even some regions Employees are toxic. Cowsep, a LoL streamer got 14 day suspension, because he bashed the tryhardness of the Korean servers. If you're new, do yourself a favor, and only play this with friends. Rating: 3/10 without friends, 7/10 with friends -Dota: The game i have the least experience. The time i spent with it was good, but GOD, THE GAME IS JUST TOO FUCKING COMPLEX. There are millions of little things that you need to look to even succed in matches. Farming, minionblocking, denying, warding in right terrain spot, calculating the turning speed, timing abilities. the list goes on. However, the game has strong character traits. My personal favorite is Doom. Edit: I played Dota after i wrote this comment again. The game is still kicking me in the guts for being noob. Im lovin' it :D -SMITE: Everyone bashing each other, Spanish and Russian people ruining everyones day. The Gods are Meh and dull for me (With a few exceptions). Everyone uses the same animations and models. The skins are Lackluster imo, decent at expensive rating. Again, exceptions are here. I think the troll skins are stellar like Swagni or the Pokemon Kukulkan. EDIT: However, have to admit the game is amazing if you ignore the things i said, and enjoy it with friends. I had great times with it, if you have a good squad to play with. It can still get annoying when people spam "You Rock!" whenever you fuck up, but i can ignore that. -HOTS: Really unique heroes, a shit loads of maps, not so toxic community (there are annoying piece of shits, but very few), good skin ideas, a proper lootbox system, and monthly releases that keeps the game as fresh as possible. I recommend this game the MOST.
Nice summary. But don't forget that Dota 2 and HotS changed their politics a little bit recently. Dota 2 now has a patch every 2 weeks (once a hero/item balance patch and once a general mechanics rework patch). I started playing HotS after 2.0, so I don't exactly know how it was before. But people on the subreddit complain about the skin buying system. Also I find Dota's skins (Immortals and Arcanas by Valve and Mythicals by community developers) way more impressive than the ones in HotS.
Dota skins are really good quality indeed. Hots changed there lootbox system a little bit, but reddit users bitch about everything that isn't the same for years. Dota's getting better, maybe i reconsider it and actualy try play it again.
What I read you need to buy a whole bundle of skins (+mounts and sprays) in HotS to get a specific one or something like that, can't remember right now, also not really interested in it since I won't drop any money into HotS solely because of their bussiness model with heroes in HotS.
Well, my first moba was League, after some time playing it I've got an access to closed beta of Smite, really liked it, but still played League. But Riot decided to completely rework 4 out of 6 my favorite characters (and the way they rework them is just throwing away old characters visuals, voice, abilities and release brand new character with the same name and theme - I was really mad when they've done that to Karma, then to Shen, then to Graves, then to Taric and there are rumors that the same will happen to Twisted Fate leaving only Miss Fortune intact). Also the thing that this game over the years changed so much that it's hard to get into it with nostalgia (and it's still changing, like that new Akali, that is offputting to me both visually and kitwise). So around 5 years ago I switched to Smite and have around 3k hours in it (toxicity you were telling about is rare on my current level of play) when I play League almost like once a month (strangely enough many people I know who play/played League refuse to try Smite and call it shitty game).
Having played League & Smite, you're absolutely right. Smite looks better visually because it's from a lower perspective. League has better skins. You hit the nail on the hand about League saying new champs just revamp previous champs but better.
I havent played smite . League of legends have summoner spells ( like flash ignite etc ) , exist those things on smite? And what they do on a normal game?
@@ergicela4420 We call them runes. You choose one at the start of the game with the other slot being a ward until lvl 15. Once lvl 15 you can get your 2nd rune
your kind *KINDA* right, but graphics not everything, I rather take Gameplay anyday over Graphics, players always wanting more graphics but sadly when they do? IT sucks .... Gameplay all the way.
Been playing them all since original DotA, but HotS is the only one that kept me coming back. As for your criticisms, a hero having individual talents rather than an individual subset of useful items out of hundreds available basically does the same thing without the overwhelming choice. And personally I never felt limited by any of the prices in HotS. In fact I only ever bought one skin, and now have legendary ones on almost every hero. It's definitely the most accessible game, and the least toxic community. The sharing of XP with weaker players may feel like holding you back, but it also holds back the mentality of the whole game being a competition within your team about who carried and who is to blame. And yet the skill ceiling is high enough fot interesting championships.
You have just earned a new sub, my good sir! This is the quality I look for in the videos I watch, and I don't even like mobas! That's how good you are! XD Lol Have a great day and keep on the good work! :D
Smite camera angle and design makes it more appealing to people less educated in the system and play style of MOBAs. I created a smurf account and realised I wasn’t getting into good games until level 50 ( around 150 hours of playtime) . Smite is my favourite moba in which I have spent 3000 hours on the game and it’s frustrating to see people judge it harshly when they have never experienced a rank game in high elo.
You say this but it's frustrating when the people who make the game have never have experienced the game at high elos. Heck the lead designer has qualified for Conquest ranked once in Season 2
@@chr1s_CS that is with a smurf, of course if you play in a smurf you are gonna get matched with new players wich makes it relatively not fun until you get to a higher level
thing with smite is that, yes, there are a lot of toxicity CAUSE it has so many skill shots, but i love the 3rd person view makes it 10x better for me than all the other ones. its what drew me in and why i have over 1000 hours on it
It takes forever to unlock all champions in league (without spending money) and I cannot even demo that champion before buying him and have to wait for a lucky roll in the weekly champion rotation.
My honest opinion on the big 4 of MOBAs. League of Legends: The first one I've played. I remember hearing about this game very often from a RUclips channel named The Green Scorpion, so I decided to try it out. I enjoyed the game, but it wasn't anything to write home about. It wasn't until my brother started getting into this game through a friend recommendation that started a chain reaction for me to get into the game. For quite some time, I used to enjoy the game. I really like the champions and many of their lores, and there is some fun to be had with some of the strategies in the game. Unfortunately, the community is absolute cancer and filled with retards. The overall game just isn't that fun or exciting unless you are winning. Otherwise, it's a long march to an inevitable defeat that will be difficult to come back from. I have ditched the game sometime in 2017 and barely touched it since. I'll still go back every once in awhile if I ever feel like wanting to play as the champions I love such as Poppy or Tristana, or if my brother wants me in on playing a few matches. Overall, I give it a 6/10 DOTA 2: The one I've had the least experience with, and also the one I had the least fun with. The game is far too difficult to get into because of the numerous amounts of things you need to understand, and my time is rather limited. Plus, the game is much more brutal with it's snowballing than League has ever been. I can see myself enjoying the game more than League if I actually understood it though. It has the advantage of granting access to all heroes from the start, I find some of the heroes very interesting, and there is fun to be had with the arcade mode. Maybe I'll revisit the game someday and try again to understand it, but it's not really a priority. I give it a 5/10 Smite: I really enjoy this one quite a lot. Somethings I like about the game include the many different modes you can choose. Including Arena, Joust, Siege, Conquest, and many more. The gameplay feels very fun and unique from the other MOBAs, and the skillshot based gameplay does make things interesting. I don't have too much to complain about as far as the game is concerned. Even the community seemed tolerable from my experience (although this was back in 2015-2017, the environment may have changed since). Though I don't like the look of some of the gods in the game, the gods are pretty expensive, and the default voice can be very annoying after awhile. Overall, I give it an 8/10 (though it's likely to change whenever I decide to come back to the game). Heroes of the Storm: The one I have the most experience with and my favorite MOBA as of now. It just stands out in many ways compared to all the others. I really like the heroes in Heroes of the Storm. Not only because they are a lot of fun, but because they are based off of characters from Blizzard's history. It's because of this that I'll easily get hyped whenever a HotS character is revealed compared to a new character revealed in other online games. I also love the map variety in the game. Consisting of 15 different maps in the game (at the time of writing this) with each of them having a unique aesthetic and gimmick from one another. I also love the talent system in the game because it's easy to learn and give heroes variety and different advantages. The games are also much faster. Instead of being around 30-40 minutes, it's usually around 15-25 minutes (granted, the games can still go under or over the usual amount, but it's uncommon for that to happen) Of course, it's not a perfect game. For one thing, the general chat is hot shit. It can be good for laughs for people already used to laughing at 4chan's antics, but for others, it can be really annoying (thankfully, it can turned off). The heroes are also pretty expensive. I was lucky enough to be around at the time of the Mega Bundles, so I was able to get a major boost in hero collecting (otherwise I'd have around 14 more heroes to go instead of 3 lol). The in-match leveling system is a mixed bag. It ensures that your allies are even in power and makes sure that nobody on the enemy team can single-handedly steamroll your allies. At the same time, however, it leaves little room for individual skill. Also, some talents on some characters can be questionable (Ex: Dark Bargain on Gul'Dan and Dragon Claw on Genji), and some heroes just need their talents to be reworked outright (The Lost Vikings, Raynor, and Kerrigan). Even with these flaws, it's still a game that I really enjoy. I give it a 9/10.
The community in league isn't that bad though, honestly most of the people who complain about the toxicity in league are usually the ones who add fuel to the flame of a frustrated player.
I don't play MOBAs anymore (spent way too much time and money on League) but HotS is the moba I wanted to love, I played in the beta and early on and every once in a while long on for the game but my only problem with the game is how expensive the heroes are, I thought League's old system was garbage ( just hopped on recently to league to see the better currency system) and took too long but jesus HotS is 5x worse, it takes way too long to get any heroes I'm glad for the new 20 free heroes (I wish they would've let you select specific ones though maybe like 10 of the top costs, 5 medium costs and then 5 low costs), I love their lootbox system, the game seems the most balanced of all the MOBAs (although that isn't saying much lol, MOBAs by nature just have the huge problem of snowballing), and the limited events are always decently fun, I feel like the game would be amazing if they just made heroes much much more common in the loot boxes
League is most toxic of all lol. Smite isn't that toxic from my experience either, and those Adventures are very unique in smite, also u get free gems each week. ive got many skins for favorite gods because of that. Smite>LoL
My problem with Smite is the art style looks so old, and in my experience the community was about as toxic as league, but then again that was comparing the communities like 3 years ago so maybe it's changed, Smite definetley has the best free to play system I've ever seen though what was/is it like $30 for all like 50 gods and future gods or some shit like that, it's a fucking crazy deal and I wish league and other free to play games copied that payment method, I would've picked up that deal even if it was $50-$60 on league
As a heroes player I have been building up the ability to approach a situation calmly (e.g. Saying "Hello team!" at the start, saying "gj" after a kill, etc.) and I've taken this into league. I have noticed a drastic difference in the behaviors of league players when I say "gj" instead of "fuck you ks". My friend who got me into the game in the first place said I had to make myself the alpha, but using my experience from heroes I truly believe using a diplomatic approach in any other Moba can mean the difference in a fun game and a toxic game.
Does anyone on this channel know about a game called Heroes of newerth. It's quite popular when dota2 was still in development upto close beta. I just kinda remembered it while watching this video, so nostalgic.
Boys boys lets not go crazy i’m 6 k and out of my experience meepo has the hardest micro and arc warden is pretty easy compared to meepo. You would better commend chen because your comments dont make a lot of sense
Took me awhile to get into DOTA but once I did it became an extremely fun and rewarding experience. Just play a very easy hero with only a couple abilities (Sniper, PA) and learn their last hit animation in the trainer for like 15-30 min. Just slowly try and learn a new mechanic each game you play. Dota does take time and patience to learn, but there’s nothing better than outsmarting someone and killing them based on you clearly being the better player. Just stick to it, and eventually you’ll realize it’s superiority to other mobas.
Personally, I feel like smite is the best out of these. I have spent a reasonable amount of time on 3 of these 4 games (except for lol). And so far I've had my best experience with smite. There are many game modes, a ton of Gods, and the community really isn't that bad as shown in the video. I give it a 8/10. But again, this is just my opinion.
TL; DR: I'm biased as fuck. I've played and loved DotA, hated LoL for it being too easy, went back to DotA, started playing Dota 2 in 2012, tried Smite and liked the idea, got bored of it. Played HotS pre 2.0, didn't like. Tried after 2.0 and still play it quite often with friends. Keep coming back to Dota 2. This is completely subjective, spiked with a few facts about the games. I'll never claim that, for example, LoL can't be fun to anyone, just because it lacks so many things DotA had. There's people having fun playing farmville, fun is subjective as fuck. I will ignore anyone claiming "LoL > Dota 2" or "Smite > LoL" without giving context and reason as to why they think that is the case. I started playing DotA back when I was a kid with a couple of friends, fun times. Since then I've tried all of the four "MOBAs" mentioned in this video. (Going to ignore that last trash "game" you mentioned in the end) I played LoL for about two months before I got sick of it and went back to DotA - This was still back in 2009, when LoL was first released. I haven't touched it since, even though I thought about it a few times. A few of my friends back then got stuck on LoL and probably still play it today. The sole reason why LoL exists was to create an easier game than DotA, removing lots of mechanics and items from the game. Which is also the main reason I dislike it. Adding to that is the fact that you have to purchase champions. Smite on the other hand, I really only ever enjoyed with friends. But I tried the game during my hardest Dota 2 phase, so that made viewing the game objectively impossible. The game is okay fun, I love the idea of a 3rd person MOBA and the character design is cool as well, but it just doesn't bring me as much joy as Dota 2 does. Not all gods are available without extra cost. HotS is awesome ever since the 2.0 release. Before that I didn't like it at all. I usually only play it with friends, but I sometimes play it alone. The game is just so creative. So many different maps and objectives. The heroes all differ from each other and they're all from Blizzard games, which makes most of them really nostalgic to me. Easy to get into, but it has a decent skill cap. I mentioned purchaseable heroes as a downside on LoL, same with HotS - but it has a lot less impact in HotS I feel. And I've also received quite a few heroes from loot boxes I earned by playing. Still a minus in my book. Dota 2 - Shit I've been playing that game since 2012 now, albeit I have had a few breaks in between for either a few months and even a full year. I only ever stopped playing, I always kept watching eSports. By now I've accumulated more than 3400 hours of gametime. The game is brutal for new players. I had the advantage of having played DotA, so I knew most of the basics, but a few friends I tried to get into the game over the years were always shocked at running into a concrete wall when playing the game. There's more than 100 heroes from the start, you don't have to buy a single one. Which also means your enemies can play any of them, and they will. So you either learn ALL the abilities of ALL the heroes, nowadays adding the skill tree on top of that, or you'll never really win without being carried. On top of that, there's the dozens of items you can purchase, that can turn a support hero into the carry and vice versa. Don't get me started on all the different mechanics and differences between them. Silence and Mute for example sound very alike, do have a very different impact on the game though. If you want quick fun with only a tad of salt, play HotS. Especially good with friends. Excels at different maps, herodesigns and mapobjectives. If you want quick fun in 3rd person with shit loads of salt, play Smite. You can play lots of Gods and feel all mighty or some shit. If you want fun with even more salt, cancerous community, developers who don't give a shit about originality ('tis be a quote, look it up.) and a paywall to play the newest and op as fuck champion, play LoL. If you want a game that keeps punishing you, can literally ruin your day within 40 minutes of playtime and still entices you to come back a couple hours or days later, play Dota 2. Because if you win in Dota 2, it feels all the more rewarding. Be prepared to get trashed for the first 500 hours. I recommend playing the game with 4 other friends that are new to the game and learn together. PS.: feel free to comment, all the spelling errors are mine and you may correct them at your own pleasure.
Kloetee Also, champs in LoL are so fucking unbalanced, so many of them don't have an MP (mana pool). I love Dota for its difficulty, complexity and balance. You can see that 109/115 heroes are picked during the TI 2018 (except Techies), shows how balanced this game is. P/s: maybe one guy (IceFrog) is better at balancing than a whole company (Riot)
If Riot were to balance all their champs, they'd have to add a lot more mechanics. Turn rates for example. They'll never do that. They also know that they'll sell less of their OP heroes if everything is balanced. That is also the main reason why all the heroes in Dota 2 are available for everyone, balance is the most important part. We might still get to see Techies, if Liquid gets bored in the Bo5 Grand Final (they'll get there for sure)
It was good until they started to make shitty Skins, wich changed characters COmpletely... Dota is the best cosmetics system in moba games for sure....
if i'm honest, while i thought your points about league were fair and agree with most, i just think it's more fun for some than others. I quite enjoy league and thinks it's fun to play. While i can say it can be really disheartening when you lose, i love the feeling of winning and a lot of games i play end in a come back. The late game of league and coming back from a rough early is really about keeping a good mental and realizing laning phase is important, but not everything.
5 years later with comeback gold and objective bounties, I miss the days when your early lead mattered at all. Now the last 2 or 3 decisions that your team makes in any game are the only ones that count, so solo/duo queue is a joke...
I tried to introduce my Pro-LOL friends to it, but they disliked it because things were more difficult than lol. They even had stupid arguments like "Why is the map on the wrong side" but they did not realize THEY CHOOSE SIDE THEMSELVES IN OPTIONS.
Moba has been in my life more than 15 years now and I played all of them long enough to say that once I try Hots i just can't go back to those games anymore the skill base in more variety and very inventive heroes
back in school, my classmates mostly play dota2 but im the only one who didnt play it. im a mmorpg gamer guy. now with a booming mobile moba games im starting into moba now. but still cant get into dota2 since its the most complicated and one of the hardest game to play. just love watching pro dota players in youtube tho.
I’ve played league of legends for 4 years. I can everyone that lol is for me the most fun game. Playing it for 4 years means that I’ve enjoyed it more than dota or hos. I found dota to hard to get into and hos a little too simple. All that matters is once you play a game like this for a long while, you will have fun.
YES! exactly! i try and try and try but i cant get into dota, from the literal perspective of me knowing who to pick (i main Tryndamere in league, Belona in smite and i only play solo lanes) and now im stuck on playing juggernaut with a support next to me, which i really dont like, i want to do it alone because i know i can. if i pick sniper in a godlike bot game i dominate the game from midlane, i can deny creeps, i hit 300 cs and so on. but for me its so hard to get into the real all pick deal, noone says stuff, you cant hover a hero (so bye bye sniper, which literally is the only dude i can play honestly really good, but its insta ban on low level all pick) and i end up with a lich midlane, a tinker support and myself as juggernaut trying to do anything. to understand the game its really hard, theres multiple roles a hero can be (like lina, being a super hardcarry but a support aswell) and it seems so weird to end up with 3 people going afk and still not understanding what to do and when to do it. I watch streamers and they explain stuff but still i cant seem to win a single game.
I play lol and dota 2 and i love Blizzard's take on the moba genre i watched all of the hero spot light in youtube and often watch grubby play HOTS and i also love his warcraft 3 videos. but im afraid to play heroes of the storm for some reason,should i give it a try is it worth my time cause i love and play WOW overwatch and starcraft, warcraft has a special place in my heart,but im hesitant to play HOTS for some reason,what do you guys think?
I'd say you can't compare mobile moba's to well pc moba's, I'd put them into two different categories, but when it comes to mobile, it's all about vain glory.
I remembered when I start playing dota for the first time and I pick Invoker just because I think, "meh, i'll choose a human like heroes" without realize that the thing is no where near a "human like" 😂. Its true that Dota 2 is nearly imposible to learn by new players who just want to "try" a different game, but if you take it seriously, it will be more addicting than you think😁. Sorry for bad english btw
Played all of them and I'd have to say smite. I play it casually while I play league the most. Smite is a breath of fresh air. Something over powered? Make everyone else over powered.
Every complaint for SMITE just made it sound better than the other 3 tbh. When it comes to skill shots, the more the merrier, and equipping talents instead of a complicated buy menu of items sounds way better too.
Yea Dota 2 is sooo hard to get into. I’ve played a decent amount of it and still can’t get a handle on it. I’ve figured out a lot of things, like last hitting, denying, minion blocking, tower aggro (that one confused the hell out of me), but the goddamn smurfs dude. They’re everywhere, and they know which heroes to pick in a way that leaves noobs with no counterplay. And losing gold on death just adds to that
I like smite cause I can do it on my ps4 and my computer doesn’t have a lot of disk space left and all the other games eat it all So I can’t download other stuff

To everyone concerned with the volume/quality of my mic- please check out my other videos! I have since gotten a new mic and better headphones, so that is no longer an issue. Additionally, I recently made a video about one of my favorite MOBAs, Battlerite, which you can check out here: ruclips.net/video/fGglV9NcxxE/видео.html
Nathan Walker great video man but I needs to be updated. Smites map is bigger now so your argument about the map being small is invalid. But the toxicity is still rampant.
For sure, I will look to do an updated version of this video (probably with more facts and slightly less subjectivity) before the year is over.
Feel free to check out my video on the subject, as it's actually more like a MOBA than any of the games featured here.
Nice vid man. Can you pls tell me the song played by pa at 5:45??

Then I can unis tall all these fucking mobas and enjoy wc mods again with unlimited capabilities.
Damn right. But there is a naruto vs bleach at the dota 2 arcade mode just as you like it.
Revisit SMITE. Map has been expanded, also the toxicity thing is not much of a problem for the rest of us non-Loki players. I’m sorry but you complained about toxicity while playing Loki. He is easily the most hated God in Smite. Nobody likes Loki players, not even Loki players themselves.
No body likes Freya or pele but since they carry 80% of games no one is mad except for the enemy team who’s mad at the guy didn’t ban them

As a League player, I often wanted to switch to the appearently superior Dota 2. But as you mentioned: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to get into the game unless your willing to spend hundreds and hundreds of hours into it, which I am not willing to do. It's really a shame that you basically need a bachelors degree on the game to play it, but am I sure for everyone who understands the game it is also a blessing.
it's an addiction, not a blessing
My question is what do u need to learn exactly (macro) ok but like do u dominate once u learn that or is this just the first part of the battle

Yea, Fortnite also sucks, its just an overhyped flavor of the month garbage, Overwatch sucks too, it died out. RTS genre in general is dead too, who the fuck plays rts who arent robotic koreans these days? CS:GO is nothing but a russian meme anymore, its a joke. Oh and XBox is way worse than Playstation, I mean it would be if PS itself werent a pile of garbage aswell. Fighting games? Who the fuck can take mashing buttons seriously? Pacman is old as fuck, its ridicoulus. Robin Hood: Legend of Shervood is a fucking discount game, my brother got it as a gift with a gaming magazine. Indie games are buggy as fuck and overated just becouse its wow so unique and not made by the big companies. Speaking of big companies, EA is a fucking lootbox simulator while Blizzard games are balanced by a group of monkeys. Point and click adventure games are fucking pointless, I would rather play Tetris, if it werent so fucking boring. VR games are the future? They make me fucking vomit.
Take my edge and leave
If DOTA2 is so good, why isn't there a DOTA3??

No i did stop playing, don’t get me wrong though. I want to play, one of my friends is telling me it’s more fun now, but I’m not playing for a while.
Also riot employees somehow make it so addicting that even if you hate it, you play it.
I like Smite the most because everything is a Skill shot, I like the fact that if I'm dodging around I'm actually dodging thing and if I'm landing this it's because I was accurate enough to land it.
Yep, i just love being able to juke a fed adc's basic attacks while at 20% health and escape in the jungle. In any point and click moba's in that same situation you are straight up dead, cuz homing basic attacks
Nate Higgers I don’t see how you can say that it doesn’t add any skill while at the same time comparing it to a genre that takes the most skill (fighting games)
Nate Higgers you just Side step the point while simultaneously using bad examples (the point) is that skill shots are better because holding down mouse 1 and hitting me for free is Lame compared to actually aiming at you and hitting you with basics and abilities

That is also great. Ganesha probably has one of the best base voice packs tbh. His voice is so soothing :0
yeah Dota is impossible to get into. Even more so if you come from league of Legends. Nothing makes sense, everything is confusing. Why are there threes, why does my spacebar move my screen to the center of the map?
Why does it take forever to get into a game, why is the map not mirrowed?
I dont understand anything.
I've been playing League of Legends since season 2, and I know Dota 2 is ultimately better but I literally cannot play it at all just because of the camera. The camera in league feels perfect for me and that's the reason I still play it.
I thought im the single one facing this problem. I usually rage on league, open up Dota, where I rage as well cause I don't understand shit and proceed to run it down mid with the courier
Dota 2 is easy to pick up hard to learn and impossible to master trust me I have wasted more than 7 yrs playing dota and it is complex as hell.
Dota 2 is far worse than League, League actually approaches the realm of "a good game" - it's really not a great game, but they're trying at least, there's a lot to like.
Dota 2 is just a shitshow of bad design choices and jank, people who say that D2 is better are nostalgia blinded oldies, haven't played League enough to realize it's the less-shit alternative, just in denial.. I refuse to believe anyone's taste is that terrible lol
I actually played Dota 2 first and then switched over to league. Never went back to Dota 2.
I came here only to read the comments
I know this has been out for awhile but it just popped up in my feed. You hit the nail on the head about DOTA 2, I tried getting into a couple months ago and it’s extremely overwhelming for new players to get into.

I once played a normal game in low levels (around 20) and my entire team were some arabs roleplaying as terrorists. They did Techies combo or some shit like that and screamed Allah Akbar in voice chat. I have less than 100 hours on Dota. 10/10

Personally as someone who has only played Smite, I absolutely love it. However, I can see why if someone coming from other games wouldnt like it. Its just different. But amazing. Mute the toxic players and enjoy the game. And also, on console, toxic players are cut by about 75%
I had one guy on xbox rage so hard on me, told me to uninstall and everything it was quite funny

So basically, he hates League because he couldn't escape bronze.
Many such cases!
Also it's kinda ironic he says one guy will get fed and 1 shot you (100% talking about master yi) but shows a clip of dota of somebody getting one shot. Abilities in dota are more powerful and 1 shots are even more common, yes in league if someone is fed they will one shot you but ONLY if they're fed while Lina just hit 6 and you disappeared.
@@WarHawk215 The game had far less damage creep at the time this video was released.
@@WarHawk215 Not to mention most spells in dota are targeted, meaning you just point and click and it does everything for you lol. At least if a Zed/Riven gets fed, they need to be mechanically sound (outside of really low elo anyway. so like p1+).
And the laning phase is a "dumbed down fighting game" where you take turns trading mindlessly? I think I'm beginning to understand why he was bronze. What is wave management/manipulation? What are cooldowns? What is macro? Vision? Priority? Tethering? Tempo? Etc.
It's weird how Dota players love to jerk about their game being the "best" or the "hardest" or whatever. I really enjoy both games, but play more league since I enjoy it more, the mechanics, champions, etc, is all just way more fun imo. I have no problem with dota, but the players are insufferable. Every /r/Dota2 thread, every twitch chat convo, etc, is all mentioning league of legends and how dota is better. Even Purge's 7.0 rundown had him saying "what is this fucking league of legends?" multiple times. Like why can't dota players just play their game and enjoy it instead of fueling their superiority complexes. Lol.
@@bleakff595 He did warn us that he is gonna be biased but he didn't warn us that he is gonna be ignorant, he had bad experience with league and that can happen when you're new to a moba and not knowing how your champion works especially playing them like dota.
And yeah it's bizarre just how dota 2 players loves to shit on league and say their game is far superior meanwhile almost nobody in league is shit talking dota 2. I feel like part of it is just the dota demographic, part of it is nostalgia from dota 1, and part of it is hipster mentality of not doing the most mainstream thing. I'd say both games are good in their own right but at the end numbers speak for themselves and for most people league is the better game for the reasons that you mentioned.

For me, Dota is like football for me, i rarely play myself but watch pros match or tourney very often, its way more entertaining that way.
Me too . Im bad playing dota so i dont . But id rather see channels youtube others streamers playing it
u watched TI ? :3
TI8 is the best TI..
IMO, if at least your team do proper communication (not abusing) and dont tilt, you are good.. Thats why the best way to play dota is by party of 5.. But as far lately, i rarely find toxic player and my random teamate atleast try to win (sea server btw)
Football is so boring, so as league(20 mins no kill in grand finals rofl) to watch yet many people watch it so its technically league=football. Dota 2 is fun to watch, more actions(can have 30 combine team kills in 20 min mark) than league can achieve, thats why ti is better than the worlds, in the gameplay i think lol is more fun because of fast pace game and easy to get into the game yet dota 2 is more competitive because of more balanced game and complex gameplay than the other mobas
So much like football

Most heroes do cost a lot and that's a topic the community is talking about right now, but other than that, with *no lasthitting* and no gold/item shop, it's definitely the easiest MOBA to get into as a new player, and it isn't lacking in depth.
You mentioned Cho'gall as 2 people in 1 body, and Ragnaros who can transform into a building and rain death from above, there's also Abathur who aids his allies from wherever he is globally, never directly fighting with his body, and can control cloned allies, The Lost Vikings where you're 3 seperate bodies trying to get as much team XP and map pressure as one person can manage, the healer Auriel whose healing resource is directly tied to her and a bound ally dealing damage to enemy heroes, etc etc..
Then there are healing fountains with a cooldown near buildings and regen globes from minions to keep your sustain up, healers in every game, no items that require a shop, and mounts for out of combat movement, to make sure you hardly ever go back to base or stop fighting. It's less farming and walking, more constant combat, and I love that.
Quazer Games bless 🙏
You forgot to mention its maps though. HotS may have it easier in learning how to play Who but it definitely is a lot harder to learn how the play the Maps because there's just a lot of them and you have to learn all of them at the same time. This also makes Hots Macro hard to master with the amount of Maps when you multiply it by the number of heroes you play.
However, the positive side for new players is, the Maps are individually pretty simple. You just have to understand it, and once you do, the design of HotS that aims to spoonfeed its players on what to do and what is going on makes it easy to get decent at. Though mastering them takes time because there's a lot of them.
Hots Maps = Many but straightforward spoon fed objectives = Hard to Learn them all, Easy to learn individually and Hard to master all, easy to master individually (if you focus on one at a time)
Compared to dota = 1 map but really huge and you have to figure out the objectives on your own = Easy to Learn, Hard to Master
I can't speak about the Smite and LoL as I haven't played them but these 2 have their own pros and cons depending on the audience. HotS is friendlier to new and casual players while Dota is better at keeping dedicated players on their toes. Whichever you are, it's up to you to decide. But as for me, there are times where I'm the casual player wanting to chill and other times where I just like to get my brain working and strategizing on how to play the map. Though I do wish Dota structures fall a lot quicker.. I prefer HotS' less than 20 minute matches... Dota losses tend to be really slow even when the game is basically sealed.
I do not understand the complaints that the heroes are expensive (new heroes are expensive only 1 month), when they are literally giving you gold all the time for doing nothing or making the daily missions (in 1 month you can easly buy 3 heroes), and you must count the events where they have given more than 1 hero for free.
Good ol Lost Vikings. Turning the moba in to a mini RTS.

This is one of the greatest videos I have ever watched, thank you
you actually did a really good job on not having a biased opinion. I personally am a league of legends fan boy and I have been since season 1, and i would never be able to make a video like this without making my game sound really good. Thanks for genuine honest video.
From what I’ve seen from this video it all comes down to personal preference. I prefer smite over any other because I much prefer 3rd person view over top down because it adds a higher skill gap
Talk about skill cap about Smite, when there Dota in conversation
Fam the 3rd person doesn’t really add a higher skill gap, it’s just a different view point so you have to play it a different way. DOTA 2 has a MUCH higher skill gap for a giant amount of mechanics
LoL - carring game before get cancer from community
Dota 2 - eating trees to gain hp
HotS - comunism, no gold, everybody have the same lvl i team
Smite - WHERE ARE SLAVIC GODS?
Indrick Boreale Well you have the awful Chernobog.
Okay ^^
Chernobog is slavic
Communism is the best.

Big Shaq-
gentlemen, gentlemen. Surely we can all agree that Awesomenauts is the one true MOBA King?
Sorry sir, but I prefer Tetris as the one and only moba.
Yeah. For me it’s 1. Awesomenauts 2. Battlerite 3. HOTS 4. League 5. Dota(I have tried so many times to get into it but I just can’t, I will prob try again soon lol...) 6. Smite (I don’t care about smite I have like 2 hours and it didn’t interest me.)
HELL yeah it is
Awesomenauts rocks. It is fun and very casual. I still have love for Dota 2 though
lelell
I like the lore in Lego Legends.
Me too. thats why i got into the game lool
Wow. Just wow.
My favorite one is HotS. I love the characters and all the lore behind it (I actually got invested in the Blizzard universes because of HotS), you have over 10 maps with different objectives and different strategies required, it's easy to get into, but it still offers room for mastering, the ballancing is mostly good, you can get the skins you like without real money (with some exceptions), you never get stomped by one fed enemy or get really dragged behind by a feeder thanks to the shared exp system and I do love that you can choose your ultimate ability. It looks great, by the usual standard of Blizzard, and it doesn't have an all chat, which lowers the toxicity (you will still get some toxic teammates, but you get my point). However you are not wrong. The customization can feel a little lackluster, especially on some characters that have a build better than every other one, and sometimes you will have no talent that counters the enemies if you didn't drafted some specific heroes. 2.0 made it harder for people to get new heroes because a lot of gold can be spend on rerolls (even thought it's not mandatory, but what else are you gonna do when you see you got 4 voice lines?) and loot chests will drop heroes rarely. Sometimes you'll feel you can't carry no matter how hard you try, but after all it's a team game, so I don't mind that much. I think this game's strongest points are the variety of maps, the unique mechanics and heroes (you won't find heroes like Cho'Gall, Abathur, Murky etc. in other MOBAs) and how easy it is to get into it. It also feels less stressing than the others even in ranked games.
Agreed. It's also my favorite, though the criticisms towards it in this video are fair.
Honestly though while I enjoy all 4 games, the uniqueness present in HOTS is a breath of fresh air to me. I've been seeing the same map and hero archtypes since Tides of Blood (The precursor to DOTA), and it feels great to see so much innovation in the genre.
Also Blizzard universe helps.
I have to agree as well. Very fun game, always fresh and high intensity action. From early game to late game and with all the maps plus unique heroes this game is a blast!
Maybe you are right, maybe not. Both games are so much better played with friends so I don't often go solo queue. I think it's just the fact that it's harder to carry in Hots even as a team of 3 than to carry in LoL the bad randoms.
Yes, in LoL one feeder will ruin your game. In HotS it take at least TWO feeders to ruin your game. I have gotten games like this... but it's still an improvement.
same, i like it to. i love playing lucio and speeding everyone around the map, his healing isnt the best until lv16 and 20 but thats not why i picked em....SPEED!!! VROOM!!!
I just got clickbaited didnt i?
Don't worry everyone in this comment section did as well
No, heroes of soulcraft is very good, havent watched the last world championship? They had the Beattles in the opening
I find my biggest problem with LoL and DoTA2 is the map size :(, it is so daunting to get into a game with such a large map. HoTS does it pretty great with changing up the map pools, even the largest maps in HoTS is no where near as large as DoTA or LoL. Too bad the meta of HoTS is a stale mess, it's been exactly the same for a full year. Yes, there have been heroes added, but the same heroes are picked and banned every single time. The new heroes seem to be created completely OP to entice people to buy them so they can own with them before they get nerfed too. Anyway, your video was pretty good :).
Hahahaha nice vid Bro, so funny at the end.
Loving HotS due to the different maps with different objectives. Also love that there aren't items. Talent system is def a better system imo. League can be fun with friends, but then if one friend makes a mistake or two, an enemy gets fed, buys op items and just 1shots everything. And Dota2 is like the Black Desert Online of Mobas, where it is just overwhelming and thus a pain to even get into.
And because fuck Blizzard.
Dota 2 is worse than lol in terms of getting fed and destroying the other team ...i played once and somebody got a doublekill...nobody was able to kill that person for the rest of the game while he butchered us . The point is in league you can itemise against specific champions bcs you pretty much have items for everithing ( too much healing on the enemy team ..go buy antiheal items as an example) and a losing team can win if they are smart enough to use their brains . I dont like that in hots you cant carry so its a major flow for the game bcs watching pro play is boring af and you have to rely on others in order to win. In lol if you are good enough you can carry an entire team all by yourself . Just imagine the satisfaction . All of the hours of mastering a champion paying off. You cant experience this in hots .
@@calindanielbelibou6137 cuz Dota is mostly a strategy about resource management. Instead of using skill u will mostly like defeat enemy by overfarming, pushing, using ur advantages to win fights and etc. Pressing buttons in dota is easy, but u need to use it wisely. In other mobas I feel like it's much more about mechanic skill and teamwork.

IDK Guys , write in the comments which game do you like the best..
Ma boi here ver
i think league bcs it has some depth and getting into it isnt a chore
Mental Challenger smite way better
I like lol as a game, but the locked heroes is annoying. Dota has all heroes free. Unlike smite. and hots locked heroes take weeks of grinding for an epic
Edit: learning what all the heroes do is probably the hardest part for new players too
As a smite player, i like hots (heroes of the storm) more because it has so much more unique heroes to play cho'gal, abathur, lost vikings so many interesting heroes and the leveling is amazing, i love playing azmodan and either leveling his beam, minion spam or just get every active (i play hots casually so i dont care what i level), i just hate how every hero cost 10k, its just too much gold to collect and thats one of the main reasons i dont main hots (also cuz i have spent over 1k on smite but dont tell anyone)
As a mostly league player the main thing that made it hard for me to get into it is the HUD and particles. I found it far harder to pay attention to what's going on, my health, other ppl's health, npcs health, where champions are in fights, etc than it is in other mobas
Dota is not a fun game, like literally when you play it you don't enjoy it. But you can't stop playing it, that's weird isn't?
Agree.

The Best moba for you is probably the 1st you ever played and.. You will try to get into something else hoping for better experience but eventually you came back to the good old rathole you know and love.
My first ever moba was indeed League love it will always love it, but my favorite moba got shut down. ;-; Rip infinite crisis.
first moba was league, now i play dota 2 and got about 6k hours invested in it
Same lmao i first played lol but then change to Dota bcos free heroes and no surrender suggestion (even sometimes there are players throwing game)
First Dota than HotS
My first MOBA was Dota 2 andit honestly didn't stick to me so well. I play HotS now
I have played all four, and it truly is a tough situation to put yourself in. They all shine in their different ways, and all have their moments of extreme suck.
I think that mobas in general are just to hard to get into, but once you do they are very rewarding as well as mmorpgs

The spit sound for the logo intros was funny.
I played all the four for a long time, here's my opinion
-LoL: The easiest to pick up, if you're a newbie. In low levels, the game can be really fun (even better if you have friends), but by every season passes, the game becomes even more competitive. Everyone picking meta chraracters, even in normals ffs. No one wants to have fun with idiot troll builds and champs anymore. Not to mention the game is well known for its brutal toxicity. Even some regions Employees are toxic. Cowsep, a LoL streamer got 14 day suspension, because he bashed the tryhardness of the Korean servers. If you're new, do yourself a favor, and only play this with friends.
Rating: 3/10 without friends, 7/10 with friends
-Dota: The game i have the least experience. The time i spent with it was good, but GOD, THE GAME IS JUST TOO FUCKING COMPLEX. There are millions of little things that you need to look to even succed in matches. Farming, minionblocking, denying, warding in right terrain spot, calculating the turning speed, timing abilities. the list goes on. However, the game has strong character traits. My personal favorite is Doom. Edit: I played Dota after i wrote this comment again. The game is still kicking me in the guts for being noob. Im lovin' it :D
-SMITE: Everyone bashing each other, Spanish and Russian people ruining everyones day.
The Gods are Meh and dull for me (With a few exceptions). Everyone uses the same animations and models. The skins are Lackluster imo, decent at expensive rating. Again, exceptions are here. I think the troll skins are stellar like Swagni or the Pokemon Kukulkan. EDIT: However, have to admit the game is amazing if you ignore the things i said, and enjoy it with friends. I had great times with it, if you have a good squad to play with. It can still get annoying when people spam "You Rock!" whenever you fuck up, but i can ignore that.
-HOTS: Really unique heroes, a shit loads of maps, not so toxic community (there are annoying piece of shits, but very few), good skin ideas, a proper lootbox system, and monthly releases that keeps the game as fresh as possible. I recommend this game the MOST.
Nice summary. But don't forget that Dota 2 and HotS changed their politics a little bit recently.
Dota 2 now has a patch every 2 weeks (once a hero/item balance patch and once a general mechanics rework patch).
I started playing HotS after 2.0, so I don't exactly know how it was before. But people on the subreddit complain about the skin buying system. Also I find Dota's skins (Immortals and Arcanas by Valve and Mythicals by community developers) way more impressive than the ones in HotS.
Dota skins are really good quality indeed. Hots changed there lootbox system a little bit, but reddit users bitch about everything that isn't the same for years. Dota's getting better, maybe i reconsider it and actualy try play it again.
What I read you need to buy a whole bundle of skins (+mounts and sprays) in HotS to get a specific one or something like that, can't remember right now, also not really interested in it since I won't drop any money into HotS solely because of their bussiness model with heroes in HotS.
It isn't that bad. you can still earn chests free. and you can get pretty good models
Yes, it's not bad, I recently got Uther as a full hero from a free chest
Well, my first moba was League, after some time playing it I've got an access to closed beta of Smite, really liked it, but still played League. But Riot decided to completely rework 4 out of 6 my favorite characters (and the way they rework them is just throwing away old characters visuals, voice, abilities and release brand new character with the same name and theme - I was really mad when they've done that to Karma, then to Shen, then to Graves, then to Taric and there are rumors that the same will happen to Twisted Fate leaving only Miss Fortune intact). Also the thing that this game over the years changed so much that it's hard to get into it with nostalgia (and it's still changing, like that new Akali, that is offputting to me both visually and kitwise). So around 5 years ago I switched to Smite and have around 3k hours in it (toxicity you were telling about is rare on my current level of play) when I play League almost like once a month (strangely enough many people I know who play/played League refuse to try Smite and call it shitty game).
Having played League & Smite, you're absolutely right. Smite looks better visually because it's from a lower perspective. League has better skins. You hit the nail on the hand about League saying new champs just revamp previous champs but better.
I havent played smite . League of legends have summoner spells ( like flash ignite etc ) , exist those things on smite? And what they do on a normal game?

your kind *KINDA* right, but graphics not everything, I rather take Gameplay anyday over Graphics, players always wanting more graphics but sadly when they do? IT sucks .... Gameplay all the way.
Been playing them all since original DotA, but HotS is the only one that kept me coming back.
As for your criticisms, a hero having individual talents rather than an individual subset of useful items out of hundreds available basically does the same thing without the overwhelming choice. And personally I never felt limited by any of the prices in HotS. In fact I only ever bought one skin, and now have legendary ones on almost every hero.
It's definitely the most accessible game, and the least toxic community. The sharing of XP with weaker players may feel like holding you back, but it also holds back the mentality of the whole game being a competition within your team about who carried and who is to blame. And yet the skill ceiling is high enough fot interesting championships.
You have just earned a new sub, my good sir! This is the quality I look for in the videos I watch, and I don't even like mobas! That's how good you are! XD Lol Have a great day and keep on the good work! :D
Thanks a lot, these kinds of comments mean so much to me and give me to motivation to keep producing content!
Smite camera angle and design makes it more appealing to people less educated in the system and play style of MOBAs. I created a smurf account and realised I wasn’t getting into good games until level 50 ( around 150 hours of playtime) . Smite is my favourite moba in which I have spent 3000 hours on the game and it’s frustrating to see people judge it harshly when they have never experienced a rank game in high elo.
You say this but it's frustrating when the people who make the game have never have experienced the game at high elos. Heck the lead designer has qualified for Conquest ranked once in Season 2
So basically give 150 hours of your time to a game so you can find pleasure in that game. Yeah no.
@@chr1s_CS that is with a smurf, of course if you play in a smurf you are gonna get matched with new players wich makes it relatively not fun until you get to a higher level
thing with smite is that, yes, there are a lot of toxicity CAUSE it has so many skill shots, but i love the 3rd person view makes it 10x better for me than all the other ones. its what drew me in and why i have over 1000 hours on it
It takes forever to unlock all champions in league (without spending money) and I cannot even demo that champion before buying him and have to wait for a lucky roll in the weekly champion rotation.
My honest opinion on the big 4 of MOBAs.
League of Legends: The first one I've played. I remember hearing about this game very often from a RUclips channel named The Green Scorpion, so I decided to try it out. I enjoyed the game, but it wasn't anything to write home about. It wasn't until my brother started getting into this game through a friend recommendation that started a chain reaction for me to get into the game. For quite some time, I used to enjoy the game. I really like the champions and many of their lores, and there is some fun to be had with some of the strategies in the game. Unfortunately, the community is absolute cancer and filled with retards. The overall game just isn't that fun or exciting unless you are winning. Otherwise, it's a long march to an inevitable defeat that will be difficult to come back from. I have ditched the game sometime in 2017 and barely touched it since. I'll still go back every once in awhile if I ever feel like wanting to play as the champions I love such as Poppy or Tristana, or if my brother wants me in on playing a few matches. Overall, I give it a 6/10
DOTA 2: The one I've had the least experience with, and also the one I had the least fun with. The game is far too difficult to get into because of the numerous amounts of things you need to understand, and my time is rather limited. Plus, the game is much more brutal with it's snowballing than League has ever been. I can see myself enjoying the game more than League if I actually understood it though. It has the advantage of granting access to all heroes from the start, I find some of the heroes very interesting, and there is fun to be had with the arcade mode. Maybe I'll revisit the game someday and try again to understand it, but it's not really a priority. I give it a 5/10
Smite: I really enjoy this one quite a lot. Somethings I like about the game include the many different modes you can choose. Including Arena, Joust, Siege, Conquest, and many more. The gameplay feels very fun and unique from the other MOBAs, and the skillshot based gameplay does make things interesting. I don't have too much to complain about as far as the game is concerned. Even the community seemed tolerable from my experience (although this was back in 2015-2017, the environment may have changed since). Though I don't like the look of some of the gods in the game, the gods are pretty expensive, and the default voice can be very annoying after awhile. Overall, I give it an 8/10 (though it's likely to change whenever I decide to come back to the game).
Heroes of the Storm: The one I have the most experience with and my favorite MOBA as of now. It just stands out in many ways compared to all the others. I really like the heroes in Heroes of the Storm. Not only because they are a lot of fun, but because they are based off of characters from Blizzard's history. It's because of this that I'll easily get hyped whenever a HotS character is revealed compared to a new character revealed in other online games. I also love the map variety in the game. Consisting of 15 different maps in the game (at the time of writing this) with each of them having a unique aesthetic and gimmick from one another. I also love the talent system in the game because it's easy to learn and give heroes variety and different advantages. The games are also much faster. Instead of being around 30-40 minutes, it's usually around 15-25 minutes (granted, the games can still go under or over the usual amount, but it's uncommon for that to happen) Of course, it's not a perfect game. For one thing, the general chat is hot shit. It can be good for laughs for people already used to laughing at 4chan's antics, but for others, it can be really annoying (thankfully, it can turned off). The heroes are also pretty expensive. I was lucky enough to be around at the time of the Mega Bundles, so I was able to get a major boost in hero collecting (otherwise I'd have around 14 more heroes to go instead of 3 lol). The in-match leveling system is a mixed bag. It ensures that your allies are even in power and makes sure that nobody on the enemy team can single-handedly steamroll your allies. At the same time, however, it leaves little room for individual skill. Also, some talents on some characters can be questionable (Ex: Dark Bargain on Gul'Dan and Dragon Claw on Genji), and some heroes just need their talents to be reworked outright (The Lost Vikings, Raynor, and Kerrigan). Even with these flaws, it's still a game that I really enjoy. I give it a 9/10.
The community in league isn't that bad though, honestly most of the people who complain about the toxicity in league are usually the ones who add fuel to the flame of a frustrated player.
I don't play MOBAs anymore (spent way too much time and money on League) but HotS is the moba I wanted to love, I played in the beta and early on and every once in a while long on for the game but my only problem with the game is how expensive the heroes are, I thought League's old system was garbage ( just hopped on recently to league to see the better currency system) and took too long but jesus HotS is 5x worse, it takes way too long to get any heroes I'm glad for the new 20 free heroes (I wish they would've let you select specific ones though maybe like 10 of the top costs, 5 medium costs and then 5 low costs), I love their lootbox system, the game seems the most balanced of all the MOBAs (although that isn't saying much lol, MOBAs by nature just have the huge problem of snowballing), and the limited events are always decently fun, I feel like the game would be amazing if they just made heroes much much more common in the loot boxes
League is most toxic of all lol. Smite isn't that toxic from my experience either, and those Adventures are very unique in smite, also u get free gems each week. ive got many skins for favorite gods because of that. Smite>LoL
My problem with Smite is the art style looks so old, and in my experience the community was about as toxic as league, but then again that was comparing the communities like 3 years ago so maybe it's changed, Smite definetley has the best free to play system I've ever seen though what was/is it like $30 for all like 50 gods and future gods or some shit like that, it's a fucking crazy deal and I wish league and other free to play games copied that payment method, I would've picked up that deal even if it was $50-$60 on league
As a heroes player I have been building up the ability to approach a situation calmly (e.g. Saying "Hello team!" at the start, saying "gj" after a kill, etc.) and I've taken this into league. I have noticed a drastic difference in the behaviors of league players when I say "gj" instead of "fuck you ks". My friend who got me into the game in the first place said I had to make myself the alpha, but using my experience from heroes I truly believe using a diplomatic approach in any other Moba can mean the difference in a fun game and a toxic game.
Still playing dota 2 even after 3 years still losing.
Does anyone on this channel know about a game called Heroes of newerth. It's quite popular when dota2 was still in development upto close beta. I just kinda remembered it while watching this video, so nostalgic.

Took me awhile to get into DOTA but once I did it became an extremely fun and rewarding experience. Just play a very easy hero with only a couple abilities (Sniper, PA) and learn their last hit animation in the trainer for like 15-30 min. Just slowly try and learn a new mechanic each game you play. Dota does take time and patience to learn, but there’s nothing better than outsmarting someone and killing them based on you clearly being the better player. Just stick to it, and eventually you’ll realize it’s superiority to other mobas.
Ok so i like snipers but i bet skill shots arent a worry so who do i pick
Personally, I feel like smite is the best out of these. I have spent a reasonable amount of time on 3 of these 4 games (except for lol). And so far I've had my best experience with smite. There are many game modes, a ton of Gods, and the community really isn't that bad as shown in the video. I give it a 8/10. But again, this is just my opinion.
your opinion is a 100% valid*
TL; DR: I'm biased as fuck. I've played and loved DotA, hated LoL for it being too easy, went back to DotA, started playing Dota 2 in 2012, tried Smite and liked the idea, got bored of it. Played HotS pre 2.0, didn't like. Tried after 2.0 and still play it quite often with friends. Keep coming back to Dota 2.
This is completely subjective, spiked with a few facts about the games. I'll never claim that, for example, LoL can't be fun to anyone, just because it lacks so many things DotA had. There's people having fun playing farmville, fun is subjective as fuck. I will ignore anyone claiming "LoL > Dota 2" or "Smite > LoL" without giving context and reason as to why they think that is the case.
I started playing DotA back when I was a kid with a couple of friends, fun times. Since then I've tried all of the four "MOBAs" mentioned in this video. (Going to ignore that last trash "game" you mentioned in the end)
I played LoL for about two months before I got sick of it and went back to DotA - This was still back in 2009, when LoL was first released. I haven't touched it since, even though I thought about it a few times. A few of my friends back then got stuck on LoL and probably still play it today. The sole reason why LoL exists was to create an easier game than DotA, removing lots of mechanics and items from the game. Which is also the main reason I dislike it. Adding to that is the fact that you have to purchase champions.
Smite on the other hand, I really only ever enjoyed with friends. But I tried the game during my hardest Dota 2 phase, so that made viewing the game objectively impossible. The game is okay fun, I love the idea of a 3rd person MOBA and the character design is cool as well, but it just doesn't bring me as much joy as Dota 2 does. Not all gods are available without extra cost.
HotS is awesome ever since the 2.0 release. Before that I didn't like it at all. I usually only play it with friends, but I sometimes play it alone. The game is just so creative. So many different maps and objectives. The heroes all differ from each other and they're all from Blizzard games, which makes most of them really nostalgic to me. Easy to get into, but it has a decent skill cap. I mentioned purchaseable heroes as a downside on LoL, same with HotS - but it has a lot less impact in HotS I feel. And I've also received quite a few heroes from loot boxes I earned by playing. Still a minus in my book.
Dota 2 - Shit I've been playing that game since 2012 now, albeit I have had a few breaks in between for either a few months and even a full year. I only ever stopped playing, I always kept watching eSports. By now I've accumulated more than 3400 hours of gametime.
The game is brutal for new players. I had the advantage of having played DotA, so I knew most of the basics, but a few friends I tried to get into the game over the years were always shocked at running into a concrete wall when playing the game.
There's more than 100 heroes from the start, you don't have to buy a single one. Which also means your enemies can play any of them, and they will. So you either learn ALL the abilities of ALL the heroes, nowadays adding the skill tree on top of that, or you'll never really win without being carried. On top of that, there's the dozens of items you can purchase, that can turn a support hero into the carry and vice versa. Don't get me started on all the different mechanics and differences between them. Silence and Mute for example sound very alike, do have a very different impact on the game though.
If you want quick fun with only a tad of salt, play HotS. Especially good with friends. Excels at different maps, herodesigns and mapobjectives.
If you want quick fun in 3rd person with shit loads of salt, play Smite. You can play lots of Gods and feel all mighty or some shit.
If you want fun with even more salt, cancerous community, developers who don't give a shit about originality ('tis be a quote, look it up.) and a paywall to play the newest and op as fuck champion, play LoL.
If you want a game that keeps punishing you, can literally ruin your day within 40 minutes of playtime and still entices you to come back a couple hours or days later, play Dota 2. Because if you win in Dota 2, it feels all the more rewarding. Be prepared to get trashed for the first 500 hours. I recommend playing the game with 4 other friends that are new to the game and learn together.
PS.: feel free to comment, all the spelling errors are mine and you may correct them at your own pleasure.
Kloetee same idea 😙😙
I have tried LoL before and soon got bored. It is quite simple and isn't as conplex as Dota2
Kloetee Also, champs in LoL are so fucking unbalanced, so many of them don't have an MP (mana pool). I love Dota for its difficulty, complexity and balance. You can see that 109/115 heroes are picked during the TI 2018 (except Techies), shows how balanced this game is.
P/s: maybe one guy (IceFrog) is better at balancing than a whole company (Riot)
If Riot were to balance all their champs, they'd have to add a lot more mechanics. Turn rates for example. They'll never do that.
They also know that they'll sell less of their OP heroes if everything is balanced.
That is also the main reason why all the heroes in Dota 2 are available for everyone, balance is the most important part.
We might still get to see Techies, if Liquid gets bored in the Bo5 Grand Final (they'll get there for sure)
Kloetee Yep, Riot will never do that, because they are greedy ass.
Loved the part with hots I agree with u
I can play hots without being tired of the match. when I try to play dota or lol, i get very tired of the matches i play
I’m a smite man through and through but there is definitely some SERIOUS toxicity and I love love love that nearly every ability is a skill shot
Winners: Heroes of Newearth
*weiner
I looked into it, being a Dota player, and I think your statement might be true in like 2009/10. Definitely not now though.
It was good until they started to make shitty Skins, wich changed characters COmpletely...
Dota is the best cosmetics system in moba games for sure....
Hon still exist? Asking real question here
@@jorjicostava1839 It is dead but still make new heroes
How ironic that I get a League of Legends: Wild Rift ad before this video
if i'm honest, while i thought your points about league were fair and agree with most, i just think it's more fun for some than others. I quite enjoy league and thinks it's fun to play. While i can say it can be really disheartening when you lose, i love the feeling of winning and a lot of games i play end in a come back. The late game of league and coming back from a rough early is really about keeping a good mental and realizing laning phase is important, but not everything.
Just play Knack 2 instead
KNACK IS BACK BABY
10/5 knacksterpiece!
League of legends is the best, it is like real life u start from nothing, tryhard to suceed and fail miserably at the end
I feel pity towards you...
I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry...
Dota 2 is the best bro because of the graphics and gero balanced
@@crooxifire8714 I think you've missed a point of this comment.
@@crooxifire8714 Ummm his comment is clearly a joke.. No need to be serious.
5 years later with comeback gold and objective bounties, I miss the days when your early lead mattered at all. Now the last 2 or 3 decisions that your team makes in any game are the only ones that count, so solo/duo queue is a joke...
The ending got me dead xD now I'm gonna go download Heroes of StarCraft on my phone. I still love my Smite tho got it on both xbo & pc
Dota 2 is the ultimate moba game. But you have to be really good to be able to play it. I got stuck in low rank because I never became good.
But you also have to understand, that dota 2 does not do a good job at bringing in new players.
Yea its not very welcoming, and elo hell is really hell
Agreed. I also prefer less noob more fun
I tried to introduce my Pro-LOL friends to it, but they disliked it because things were more difficult than lol. They even had stupid arguments like "Why is the map on the wrong side" but they did not realize THEY CHOOSE SIDE THEMSELVES IN OPTIONS.
Zack Rose there is a problem in that statement.
Players nowdays don't want to learn shit. They want to be spoonfeeded
Hots was my MOBA gateway drug. It's very accessible. I still play it sometimes when I feel like drooling on myself!
Moba has been in my life more than 15 years now and I played all of them long enough to say that once I try Hots i just can't go back to those games anymore the skill base in more variety and very inventive heroes
back in school, my classmates mostly play dota2 but im the only one who didnt play it. im a mmorpg gamer guy. now with a booming mobile moba games im starting into moba now. but still cant get into dota2 since its the most complicated and one of the hardest game to play.
just love watching pro dota players in youtube tho.
Smite ftw because of the camera
i should try smite. If its on mobile which it's not😭
I’ve played league of legends for 4 years. I can everyone that lol is for me the most fun game. Playing it for 4 years means that I’ve enjoyed it more than dota or hos. I found dota to hard to get into and hos a little too simple. All that matters is once you play a game like this for a long while, you will have fun.
YES! exactly! i try and try and try but i cant get into dota, from the literal perspective of me knowing who to pick (i main Tryndamere in league, Belona in smite and i only play solo lanes) and now im stuck on playing juggernaut with a support next to me, which i really dont like, i want to do it alone because i know i can. if i pick sniper in a godlike bot game i dominate the game from midlane, i can deny creeps, i hit 300 cs and so on. but for me its so hard to get into the real all pick deal, noone says stuff, you cant hover a hero (so bye bye sniper, which literally is the only dude i can play honestly really good, but its insta ban on low level all pick) and i end up with a lich midlane, a tinker support and myself as juggernaut trying to do anything. to understand the game its really hard, theres multiple roles a hero can be (like lina, being a super hardcarry but a support aswell) and it seems so weird to end up with 3 people going afk and still not understanding what to do and when to do it.
I watch streamers and they explain stuff but still i cant seem to win a single game.
I play lol and dota 2 and i love Blizzard's take on the moba genre i watched all of the hero spot light in youtube and often watch grubby play HOTS and i also love his warcraft 3 videos. but im afraid to play heroes of the storm for some reason,should i give it a try is it worth my time cause i love and play WOW overwatch and starcraft, warcraft has a special place in my heart,but im hesitant to play HOTS for some reason,what do you guys think?
Mobile legends is plagiarism king
Deluxe•-• this why I play arena of valor as it is made by a branching part of the people who made lol
I'd say you can't compare mobile moba's to well pc moba's, I'd put them into two different categories, but when it comes to mobile, it's all about vain glory.
pls no
Had an ml ad before these...
@@gageunruh3574 arena of valor isn't better than mobile legends lmao
Heroes of Newerth (HoN). Because its not even included in the thumbnail.
I remembered when I start playing dota for the first time and I pick Invoker just because I think, "meh, i'll choose a human like heroes" without realize that the thing is no where near a "human like" 😂. Its true that Dota 2 is nearly imposible to learn by new players who just want to "try" a different game, but if you take it seriously, it will be more addicting than you think😁. Sorry for bad english btw
Old post but smite is the only one that is actually different from he others, makes it the best bc it's one of a kind
Played all of them and I'd have to say smite. I play it casually while I play league the most. Smite is a breath of fresh air. Something over powered? Make everyone else over powered.
That's literally what Dota does but on steroids
noice
Every complaint for SMITE just made it sound better than the other 3 tbh. When it comes to skill shots, the more the merrier, and equipping talents instead of a complicated buy menu of items sounds way better too.
I only play hots just because I was too lazy to buy items on the shop.
Yea Dota 2 is sooo hard to get into. I’ve played a decent amount of it and still can’t get a handle on it. I’ve figured out a lot of things, like last hitting, denying, minion blocking, tower aggro (that one confused the hell out of me), but the goddamn smurfs dude. They’re everywhere, and they know which heroes to pick in a way that leaves noobs with no counterplay. And losing gold on death just adds to that
I like smite cause I can do it on my ps4 and my computer doesn’t have a lot of disk space left and all the other games eat it all
So I can’t download other stuff
Heroes of Newerth thats the one that sucks the least
It become shit a couple years now
You just earned my heart.
