He has a mustache, and can jump really high. You can find items, instead of being forced to buy them in some dumb shop, which allow you to fly, and shoot fireballs, and become a doctor. You don't get constrained to 1 champion during a game, and you don't just play 1 level. That's the worst part about dota, you only play 1 level, but in Mario, there's like hundreds of levels. Also if you want to play with your brother or sister, they can be Luigi. This makes the game far better than DOTA, because it's already a 1 player game, but if you want to, you can play with your friend, you don't have to though. Also during games, you're never playing at the same time, which is like the worst thing ever. Everyone knows that you are better than them at Mario, even if they get to be Luigi. Mario could also beat all the DOTA champs, if he had star power. This makes Mario better than the DOTA champs, beause he can kill them all if he went into a fight vs every single one of them. I don't want to keep going on with my infinitely long list about why Mario is better than DOTA 2, but I think these reasons are definitely enough. hmmm you've convinced me at least | ||

And to address some oblique arguments, it's a source of amusing irony to me that Valve is lauded for "empowering the people" but then complain that Blizzard isn't hand-holding every player and all of e-sports the same way Valve is. | ||

There is no time to say "wow this is really enjoyable and relaxing). SC2 is a game where you better be on top of your game as soon as your workers go to work. Your build order better be tight, you better not get supply blocked, you better this and you better that. This style of gameplay makes gameplay itself...stressful. Who here likes being stressed when they play a game? Any SC player that says they don't get stressed is a liar. Every person that plays SC has either gone through ladder anxiety, or are still dealing with it. I understand that some games are just meant to be competitive. But can't a game be competitive and fun? This is where DOTA 2 shines. The game can be both very competitive and very casual, but either way you play....ITS FUN. I have just recently played this type of game for the first time. And I must say that I have never felt the sort of anxiety or stress that SC2 puts on a player, and this is just jumping into a game and having a very light knowledge of the game. Where in SC2 I have invested countless hours of trying to improve, whether it has been doing research online, participating in replay reviews to help my gameplay, watching streams, looking on forums, practicing in custom matches, and also laddering. All of the time invested in SC2 and the game still brings tons of frustration. You forgot to scout, oopsie now you die. You made the wrong unit types, oopsie now you die instantly. You forgot to larva inject? Oopsie now you die. There are so many aspects of SC2 that make the game stressful that I believe it can never reach the popularity of other games. Yea it has the e-sport pro scene, but what Blizzard forgets is the casual player base is what makes games a Huge success vs just a success. I know for myself and a lot of people I know, we don't have the time to invest to be "good" at SC2. A lot of people have full time jobs, families and other hobbies. With all do respect, I don't think it's my duty to figure out "how" to enjoy SC2, the game should be fun regardless of how you are playing. With DOTA 2 I picked a game up I have never played before, and even though I suck at it, the game was tons of fun to play. After I was finished, I wasn't upset and wondering what I did wrong and watching 4 straight replays of losses figuring out how to be better. It was genuine fun which is sad because I love SC2, but the multiplayer aspect of the game just is too stressful to be fun. | ||
