    which MOBA is this? league doesn’t use these exact terms but I kind of get the gist, but even in league I used to win with terribly constructed team comps all the time because everyone was on a comfort pick and the other team wasn’t

        ok yeah I tried playing it a couple of times and I was so hopelessly lost, does individual skill with piloting a champ (or whatever they’re called in dota) matter less in dota than in league?

        • I haven’t played nor watched league enough to make an informed comparison.

          The biggest difference design wise are

          -variable turn rates making kiting harder, which opens up the design space for melee adcs without a dash -denying giving reduced xp, which makes lanes with large skill gaps absolute blowouts -most abilities are smartshot, which de-emphasizes mechanical skill in favor of macro knowledge on when to push your buttons -woods does not spawn for the first minute, meaning that dedicated jungle isn’t a thing.

          The entire roster is free without any grinding, which is what made me get into it over league ten years ago.
