EPT[LiquidParty] DotA2 Learning Group ^.^ - Page 20
| Forum Index > LoL General |
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. gl hf | ||

Here's my profile if anyone wants to add me and play with a complete noob: http://steamcommunity.com/id/overthinking Question though, in LoL I pretty much only played AD carry every game that I could since the first month that I started playing. I like picking just one role and learning it. From the reading and stuff I've done on DotA2 it seems like AGI carries are probably the most equivalent to AD carries in LoL. Weaker early game, strong late game, heavy emphasis on farm. Do people think it's a good idea for me to focus on just one role in DotA or should I branch out and play multiple roles? Also is my assessment of, "I like AD carry in LoL so I'll probably like AGI carry in DotA2," accurate? | ||

Also is my assessment of, "I like AD carry in LoL so I'll probably like AGI carry in DotA2," accurate? I like starting with a few heroes and then branching out to learn (other people like clicking random and just going, depends on who you are). AGI carries "could" be seen as somewhat similar to AD in the sense that they generally do big autoattack damage, weak early laning, and rely on positioning. That being said, AGI carries are much more diversified and have much more varied playstyles as all AD carries are ranged heroes with steroids/escape/nuke. In dota you have "agi carries" that need the farm like Antimage, others who are quite gank heavy like Riki or Bounty Hunter or have different playstyles like Brood or Ursa. So no, I don't think you would necessarily like to play AGI just because you like AD. | ||

Pre-buff without them being disassemble-able and being weaker overall, I honestly don't think they were worth getting over Phase Boots. With 6.74, they're a much more reasonable alternative (the Arcanes+Tranquil build on Axe where you disassemble/reassemble for their actives as needed is pretty cute IMO--you use the Tranquils for ganking/jungle sustain and eventually stick with Arcanes, turning the Tranquil components into Vlad's for your carry), especially since you have the option to turn them into better boots and build the 2 other components into other items later (the "breaks on damage" component is not a big deal during roaming/laning phase, but having the boots revert ENTIRELY to being regular boots of speed during fights from, say, 4 ticks of Radiance burn in a fight is a huge drawback). Phase boots or arcane boots are usually better then tranquil boots but, if you are playing hard support (lots of wards), you are going to be too poor most of the time to buy anything else. +80 ms is extremely useful and comes very cheap. Really enjoyed the guide! | ||

I got very good knowledge regarding item choices and theorycrafting in general, decent understanding of the drafting process and some experience in mentoring newer players. | ||

Updated the OP with a link to this lovely thread here: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=345139 - really great info in there specifically for League players looking to get into DotA 2. Make sure to join the LiquidParty ingame chat, seems like half of the people in the steam group aren't in there. =P | ||
