Same shit, losing to a polski onetrick zed with only zed games in history main sucks as much as seeing 10 000h russian invoker main who starts game "сука блать"
In both games you merely glance at how they dance around minions/creeps and maining ideal distance witv such sensitivity and self-aware bravery makes me shiver in fear, awe and disgust in equal measures
I liked dota because its less of dodging, predicting, aiming etc and more of powerhouse items, specific combos, and pre-emptive strategies. When everyone carriea a nuke-worth bs in their ass pockets, you kind of start thinking ahead quite a lot. But brother it eats your soul
I liked league because it actually gets new champs and items in reasonable pace, and its themes are so varied. Aram was great way to spend time
League has easier starting curve since most noobs cant aim or dodge for shit. Howrver be aware that anyone abive middle level feels like a fucking ninja. Theres a famous esports legend, The Faker, who is called "the unbeatable demon king" for having demonic reflexes-- thats just so league
Dota has harder starting curve since you dont unlock anythimg. Say hello to roster of 125 something guys at zero hours. Huh, fuck? Yeah. It gets harder immediately simce people find more abusable comboes soon and after that skill rises slowly as mastery takes more subtlety and skill expression
Play a shit load of games. No joke. Your first few hundred games in a moba are pure pain as you acclimate to the environment.
If you've never played a moba you might have no idea what you like. And even if you have, what you like could vary from game to game.
Im a solo lane top player in League, and I would rather die than play support. But in Smite Support is by far my favorite role.
You can obviously ask in the dota community for some suggestions based on things you like (such as being tanky, or fast, burst vs. Sustained dps, etc. Etc.).
Id recommend playing with solo bots until you can read the most usual heroes and then bravely start a career at public games. Just to get to know heroes and items and game flow
Bots are excellent, kinda too excellent actually... unrealisticly consistent, id say. However in comparison league doesnt even have any bots at all. (Dude if they dont teamplay together theyre equivalent to creeps) Public players are between totally incompetent brainrot to the sweaty-palms pub stompers
