Topic: MOBA (DOTA, LoL) Discussion Thread

In all my time at NL, I've found that very few users here are into the RTS category of games (probably for lack of PC gamers). But with the impending release of DOTA 2, I wanted to see if the community has opened up a bit more to these types of games.

As for myself, I'm a League of Legends player (partial to Fizz and Shaco) who originally started off by playing DOTA one day at summer camp. So if you're into Action RTS games, come by and introduce yourself so we can see if we can get a discussion going here.

For those who don't know:
MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) games are strategy games where two teams face each other with RPG style mechanics.

I liked what I played of awesomenauts.

@Sony_70 I hadn't heard of that game until now, but it looks awesome from the trailer I saw!

@Swiket Yeah, those type of games usually have a damn steep learning curve. But you learn a lot just by playing the game which a lot of games fail to do, so it's pretty neat in that respect

I've played a fair bit of league and have now started playing DOTA 2. The two games are very different, but league is easier to get into at the start as DOTA's learning curve is cliff. But they do have really good bots in DOTA 2. The heroes in DOTA 2 are really much more fun to use and powerful. I don't really feel like typing about all the differences.
