I am a 6-year veteran League of Legends player and coach who is fed up with recent changes. I am a strategy lover and the only thing holding me back from playing Dota2 was the overwhelmingness of some unfamiliar systems. This video allowed me get into the game and start enjoying the wonderful strategy game that Dota2 is, and has changed my gaming career for the better. Thank you sir for all your great work for this community and keep doing what you do!

Hate League of Legends now its so damn cringe' they are making everyone Gay pushing the agenda feminising everything' catering to Koreans and Lil Nas X as their Mascot League is DEAD!!!

[@ddu2020]

@@comedyentertainmentchannel5621 you have got to be the most delusional and 0iq subhuman if you think that having gay characters is what's gonna kill league. you people constantly preach about how nobody cares if a character is gay, yet this is the conclusion that you reached?

[@Faude18]

@@comedyentertainmentchannel5621 that's not entirely true, but my biggest grudge with League is the hefty amount of damage newer characters deal, the vast amounts of gold the game pumps out to teams and the ridiculous balancing of the game. The game used to have great strategic moments, but those seem to be gone. One missstep by any of the junglers results in the other one completely controlling the game (if they are skilled enough).

[@boochal2753]

Tried DOTA, watched some of your videos, update after 10 games: Cool heroes, most of them are point and click however (i mean not much demanding skill shots) but the items are often actives, the game is pretty complicated, characters are cool and it all looks good.... HOWEVER No new players I guess? In every game I play against ppl with MUCH MUCH more experience than me (they often have 400-700 hours) and it is pretty much impossible to learn the game by playing the game as you get stomped every singe time. ALSO no idea why there is no surrender option, some uber lost games take 30 mins of your life bcs enemies are playing with you or you have people dancing on respawn and trolling. Also tons of AFK, but I guess it is common when you have not much games played. Also I'm a lol player but I played a tiny bit of DOTA many years ago and I like it as it reminds me of Warcraft III

[@AlexanderCoccia]

I'm sorry that you're experiencing some negativity. Unfortunately that's a little too common, although with the new Overwatch reporting system things are getting better. Thanks for the update, and hopefully your experience continues to improve. Ive heard before that the game matches you as an "average" player when it begins matchmaking. Keep on playing and your matchmaking should be adjusted appropriately over time. They do that so that experienced players aren't incentivized to make new accounts constantly to stomp new players

Awesome, I came from a WoW world top 100 background but never bothered with MOBAS until now .I t is awesome that you are discussing the actual mechanics as opposed to PICK X/Y/Z it OP, you are essentially providing the mechanical knowledge players need to improve, great video , subbed.

This game is more complex than my factorio factory

[@AlexanderCoccia]

LOL

[@lucacuneo7218]

It makes league look like child’s play that’s for sure

[@tonytanner3048]

@@lucacuneo7218 Fact's I tried dota as a LOL player and LOL only gets complex on the micro level past D1 and then Dota is just overall complicated on both micro and macro.

I don't know why but this seems a hard lecture class that I can't understand . I usually don't get in studies like maths . I didn't want to learn which I felt hard in games . But I want to learn this game . I have 4 cool siblings and they all played this game . They also spend many $ in this game lol. I need to learn so that I can stay connected with them. here for the first time I doubt myself that I can't understand like in studies 😭. I feel bad

[@AlexanderCoccia]

You can do it! Just keep trying and keep learning, you'll get there!
