I started my MOBA playing with LoL quite a while ago (Orianna was the newest hero) and played until Talon was released. Got to about lvl 18 summoner level then quit because I pretty much hated it. Played with a lot of friends but there was so much rage and annoyance. Winning was fun, losing was TERRIBLE. Quite a while later, I got a dota 2 invite and started playing it myself. None of my friends got the beta and when they eventually did, they didn't want to play it. I have now about 350 hours logged in dota 2 and decided that I wanted to fucking play MOBAs with my friends, so I got LoL again, and it's SO much more enjoyable with the experience I have from Dota 2 and how much better I got at MOBAs. Thing is, Dota 2 is without a doubt a much deeper game, this is ridiculously clear once you've played both games a lot. However, a game doesn't have to be extremely deep to be fun. LoL is still definitely skillbased and has quite a bit of depth, and just like Dota 2, you absolutely feel like you improve all the time. One can compare the games in various ways and find flaws with both, but I think it's far more interesting to look at the differences which make both games good. Since you're now a player of both games and enjoy both, I hope your future blogs will bring up such aspects. | ||

Once you up your mmr a bit, you will begin to find that you rarely encounter leavers.. And you will find that the majority of people care about the outcome and what is going on (as opposed to people that go "... Damn, started off 0-2.. Well, next game!". I play in the High/Very high bracket right now, and I don't think I've had a leaver in any of my games for 20+ games now. | ||

Btw those looking to get into the game, with recent influx of keys it should be rather easy to get one, even the great trade thread for dispensing had people just asking to PM them for key, I tried to drop mine off there too, but after few days of not using the key (sent via email to one guy) I just passed it on to a friend of a friend. I also suggest partying up with other new players from TL, that way you can ensure less leavers and it will slightly increase the quality of opponents too (as it puts some extra into team's matchmaking rating depending on how large group is queuing). | ||

Nobody knows. Anyways, after some games you will eventually leave the MMR hell with constant leavers / feeders etc. They will come less frequently as you play, and your games will be awesome! GL with dota, great game, great blog ! | ||
