All random is a bit too rough if you get a... difficult hero imo. All pick lets you practice your favourite heroes but often results in you losing to enemies abusing some hero or another that is hard to deal with at low levels. Random draft is kinda cool but the drafting aspect of it can be awkward as well. Least played is a decent AP substitute but you can't really practice your favourite heroes in that mode  Stay far far away from CM/CD imo. I think Single Draft does look pretty cool. I've seen/read many horror stories about low level AP (and high level AP, for that matter) so I kind of wanted to avoid that. I just want to maximize my chance for being in a game with 9 other turbo-noobs. My last LHP game had a guy with 1800 career games. I like the random hero pool element from Random Draft and Single Draft, so I'll probably stick to those for now.

It seems really silly that you can spam spells and fight toe to toe with someone for 10 seconds and still be at half hp. Booooooring. Was dota 1 like that? Or has it always been a game of short fights and quick kills? As someone who has never played the first one, I was always curious as to whether dota 2 replicated everything properly. Edit: also, holy balls is league ugly. I saw a tower die, and the animation was hilariously bad. lol is much different to dota in that dota heavily punishes being out of position with long stuns and big nukes the game was released in what, 2009? unless there has been a graphics update since then im not suprised the animations arent so great | ||

You don't need to put down League just to make Dota 2 seem better; it's already pretty fantastic without even looking or mentioning League | ||

It got me thinking about how dota has evolved (or if it has even evolved at all). I need a history lesson. | ||
