This is probably because most of them come from playing in internet cafes where its not practical to leave your computer. | ||

I know, but it's still a rare pick. ^^ Guess with Rubick getting into the first 3 bans the other counters get more playtime. | ||

I will probably get some hate for this question, but i thought i want to give a new esports title a try :D More gank-heavy Less stagnant metagame in that many different lane comps are viable Generally more push-oriented though some teams also play 4-protects-1 while some play gank-heavy. There's often junglers but they're not considered mandatory at all like in LoL. Hardcarries are generally far stronger late and when farmed can 1v5 in a way that is very difficult in LoL. Earlygame heroes dominate earlygame more than the equivalents in LoL as well. There's much more, stronger CC in general, especially some ults are such that you'd never find something like that in LoL. Some other things I guess, this just off the top of my head | ||
