As someone who plays both LoL and Dota 2, it's actually baffling how Dota 2 feels more balanced than League is considering every hero in DOTA 2 is considered to have a "broken/OP" ability/skill by LoL standard

[@BruhMeme85]

If everyone is broken nobody is broken Except for OD I don't care if you are weak in pro play fuck you in general

[@ChadKakashi]

Since most spells are individually powerful a lot of ultis are just insane.

[@jackolevious8308]

if everything are broken, none is broken

[@13YoJest13]

Dota feels more balanced because it doesn’t have individual damage ratios in every single hero like League does for every single one of its champs. (70 damage on Jhin doesn’t = 70 damage on Ashe) (70 damage on anyone in Dota is 70 damage) Also the fact that everyone in Dota uses mana (a few spells use hp) league has Mana, rage, energy, straight up no resource, cost at all just CD. Crits also don’t just add up like they do in league. Two items at 25% is 50% crit in league. Two items at 25% in Dota would technically be a 37.5% chance to crit not 50% (Dota uses actual real world math for chance calculations on Crits) This also just gives us more build diversity in general. Like 90% of ADC’s in league is Boots+5 crit items or Boots+4 crit items+ GA. (Yes there are other builds like lethality or AP versions instead of AD like Varus can do but none of that is even close to the diversity of Dota builds/roles.

[@floreaciprian9742]

@@13YoJest13 itemization is one of the biggest differences between games. League has a lot of "useless" items. I mean the same item that does slightly different things, like zeal items, or lost chapter items and so on. Dota brings way more variety with items, especially how different and useful the actives are

It's kinda funny how for dota 2 players most of this stuff looks normal (except enchantress, I think we can all agree it's complete bullshit) imho the real insane stuff for them is core WW/AA/willow/snapfire who shoot from the range similar to sniper and deal insane damage

[@Inf1e]

WW is kinda broken (but still countered by default pos3 items), AA squishy af and should stay away from fight, Willow squisy as well (but still powerful and playable in some cases), Snap is just Snap. OK, Valve, you missed whole BAT point.

[@vo1ce147]

WW was good back when she still has that broken 50 dmg on LV 10, AA, willow and snap taking too long for online . And if you talking about bs it's not enchantress it's SB.

[@dinmukhammednurbek6573]

Even the case with Enchantress and Tiny looks normal. 1. Tiny has himself attack speed less than an average hero. And in this example I guess Tiny had no items for increasing that attack speed. If he buys correct items, he can beat enchantress in significantly fewer seconds. So this is exaggerated case. 2. Enchantress has a great passive ability that slows down enemies, but she is still balanced with fewer health points. Tiny can easily kill her with magic, and in addition Tiny has two active skills that cause damage. In a real game Tiny is not going to stand there like a statue trying to beat her. He just throws Enchantress with his second skill and kill her.

[@reyneerleon3851]

in dota there are items that can counter enchantress, it is all about to know how the game works, everything is pure balance.

And she isn't even really that good. Thinking about it, its quite common for supports out there to have some insanely painful skills (Earthshaker, WD, CM, Lion with aghs and probably more).

So a good invoker combos are actually very simpler than you might u guys think. Just memorize their spell combo and you guys are good to go Normal combo : 1.Prepare TORNADO and EMP. (WWQ->R->W->R) 2. Use Tornado (now it come to the 2nd slot of invoked spells which is F key) -> immediately invoke Chaos Meteor (EEW->R)-> cast EMP (second slot of invoked spell which is F keys) -> cast chaos meteor (1st slot of invoked spell which is D keys) -> invoke Deafening Blast and use it immediately (QWE->R->F) Simplified key combos are : WWQ->R->W->R->F->EE->R->F->D->QWE->R->D There are alot of combo out tere but this is the combo y’all need for clash and solokill people.

Additional note on Doom's ultimate (which is also called doom): Changes the game from 5v5 to 5v4. When upgraded with aghs, can possibly be 5v0. Actual effect: Deals pure damage (cannot be reduced by armor or magic resist, only damage resist.) over time for 16 seconds. Also silences and mutes (prevents item usage) target. Can be upgraded further via talent to also break and prevent passive shenanigans. Aghs makes it AOE and can cast on self to apply debuff radius on self. As a final FU, pierces spell immunity and dispels target. This can shut down a carry reliant on items and passive (Phantom Assasin), or prevent initiators (tidehunter/enigma) form doing their thing. Counter: Linkens sphere can block Doom unless he has a teammate or jungle creep ability to burn the sphere charge. Alternatively, lotus orb can reflect it to also apply doom on Doom. Part 3 mention nomination: Necrophos. Mechanic: Executes you when you are at 40% HP or lower. Also saps just under 3% (6% with another skill) of your health every second.

BRUh a vet dota player here and just saying if you keep that damn dazzle alive in clashes he will literally make a 10k gold lead look like nothing

Dota's supports are insanely powerful compared to league ones.

Awesome video, part 3 please!

[@TZAR_POTATO]

eventually!

[@lyl14ghost]

Everything really is countered by skill and experience, which is why you get stuck in one MMR if you just keep playing, it's very different line up and thought process in different MMRs. Which makes it really different to other competitive games I have played. There isn't really a meta because the meta will soon been replaced by the counter meta. TBH Clinkz is still fucking hard to balance after so many big patches just rework the character entirely. So is a lot of chars with long invis since really you don't win Dota by play better but by having more information on the map(vision).

[@vo1ce147]

No he actually easy the problem is clinkz still doesn't have any identity because the way he was build.

[@imfinishedgrinding638]

Current Clinkz is very frustrating but I'd rather have that than burning barrage Clinkz. That shit was super annoying to face against once he gets his key items(Gleipnir usually).

[@Dracomandriuthus]

I just wish that Clinkz and other stealth heroes didn't ahve a binary "Blue ward/no blue ward" diff

[@scottjohnson3070]

ES mini fissure is hilarious 😂

[@ponjun3970]

Old Patches were wilder. Enchanress' Impetus has higher damage, the further the enemy is. Modern Enchantress has limit on damage per distance. Old Enchantress has no limit on damage per distance. She was basically the real sniper. But can be countered with a mere blademail item(damage return) Modern Invoker has 10 spell combinations, but Old invoker (Dota 1) has 27 spell combinations. Only counter is the player's memorization skill. Old invoker probably got the fastest rework in all MOBA after their first debut.

[@TZAR_POTATO]

Old invoker had that aoe flamethrower on taking damage though, forget the name, but it's the only spell you needed. Tank up, run at enemy, win game. Also tornado is basically unchanged from inception which is ... wow

Putting aa after life stealer is a very nice touch

[@RadialSeeker113]

Ill never get over how oonga boonga the names of heroes are in this game. Sniper. Lifestealer. Void assassin. Theyre all so devoid of any personality.

[@TZAR_POTATO]

That's just their professions. Nearly every dota hero has a profession name (and what people like referring to them as) and a propper name. Sniper = Kardel Sharpeye Lifestealer = N'aix Faceless Void = Darkterror

[@Vivect]

Invoker is a great hero for people who miss magicka game.

[@Inf1e]

Came out way before first Magicka. Good game tho, even if buggy af.

Noice! There were some typos. I'm a spellchecker for hire.

@@TZAR_POTATO yeah just sayin, because it doesnt look like the real speed

Yeah, maybe should've zoomed on timer at the beginning for the better view, because honestly even if it's obvious people probably not going to look at in-game small timer while watching bs zooming lmao

more about counter items, active items, etc... so many new things to learn...not playing this abt 7 years already

[@Jyxero]

Can't tell why I feel Invoker (+10 year character) more balanced than stuff like Akshan with his 2/3 passives despite Kael's Q/W/E being basically that Still love to cosplay old Evenlyn + Sunfire armor with him thou

Invoker is actually released in 2005, making him 18 years old!

lifestealer steals life

[@cristhianmlr]

Nature's Profit: global TP + summoning the treants to war. Axe: Executes even when under Shallow Grave under a Treshhold. Io: global TP + steroid when tethered. Chen: fountain taxi. Keeper of the Light: Mana vendor machine + global taxi. Underlord: Portal. Oh and edit: Wraith King (and Undying): resurrection in battle.

[@Lftarded]

@invokerhas10spells he literally never dies in a team fight. If a clash lasts at least 40 second, he'll be unstoppable because he probably stole at least 100+ strength by that time. He also has a heal.

[@Caerulean]

Chen no longer does the teleport to fountain. It's been a couple of years, I think.
