While this thread is labeled "DotA2", this is in fact a community thread first. Many of the users in the TL LoL subforum have been playing as friends for over a year now, so it makes logical sense that they would want to play other games together.

Do not compare DotA2 to LoL, you will get banned.

TL LoL veterans know what is expected. Newcomers be warned.

The patience and and precision of Alliance in the late game is beautiful to watch. It might seem boring and pointless but keep in mind that this is a very stressful situation and it seems like Alliance just doesn't let it affect them at all.

outside of the Rosh fight where Akke knocked SYlar on the cliff, the game had like 0 cool fights. I realize thats just how the line ups work, but it got hard to watch.

Game 2 however redeemed it completely, I honestly thought LGD was too far ahead when Loda was 0-4

Overall LGD was not that far ahead, and TBH before Alch's second item, teamfights are not all that easy for LGD because Alliance has more AoE damage. People automatically assume farmed Mag = teamfight advantage but that isn't really true after the RP damage nerf.

LGD technically played correctly looking for ganks transitioning into tower kills, but Alliance just executed well in not letting LGD get ganks that didn't turn into full-on teamfights (which [A] had the advantage in).

I mean Loda had brown boots and some branches when Shadowblade was basically finished, you can't tell me you didn't think LGD was in good shape.

also why aren't we seeing Kunkka? he was super popular at the G1 that Alliance won, and then he got buffed even after that, yet I've seen him mabye twice so far? bottle crow nerf to big for him to win lane?

Kunkka's a hero that really needs a draft that supports him well, because he's not exactly a hero that is smooth to use on his own.

Minor changes to how people draft/play (or major ones in this case) affect how practical using the hero is.

I'm trying to comprehend a LoL game that could go for 90+ minutes. I don't even know if it is possible.

CLG EU played several 60+ min games in s2, all of them were equally as silly as this one got at towards the end.

I mean it was a pretty weird game, clearly, but DOTA's mechanics (buybacks, larger map, etc) create more situations where a 90 minute game is possible wheras I feel LoL games get to the 70-80 minute mark and are pretty much through after a teamfight. It would have to be an absurdly close LoL game to get to 90 mins or perhaps the world's longest baron bait, sometimes that seems possible in EU LCS.
