Team Spirit’s manager explained why League of Legends is better than Dota 2

Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov, the manager of Team Spirit commented that League of Legends has some advantages over Dota 2, particularly because it is far more enjoyable of a game considering the fact that one can die multiple times and still contribute positively to their team.

He commented this on a Twitch stream.

“League of Legends is funner than Dota 2. What I mean by this is that in League, you can die ten times and not care. You are not a midlaner? Not a problem. I can die ten times and still be useful in teamfights. I, for instance, cannot play mid in Dota. I simply can’t. In League, I go mid and often win. Even though I have zero mid experience in any game. If I go mid in Dota with 3K MMR, it’s going to be a 0:10 stomp”

As he described, the difference seems to be that in Dota 2, midlane is an untouchable option without experience, whereas League allows for a useful teammate to easily get into the midlane. He noted League is much more enjoyable and casual for the average person, although it remains to be seen if that is the case at the pro level.

“If all you want to do is log in and play, League is much more casual than Dota. But LoL isn’t easier if you want to play at a really high level. Just for casual play — sure. I also appreciate how many objectives there are. In LoL, there’s a lot — dragons, buffs, extra stuff. It’s great that there’s always something happening and fights breaking out”

Korb3n also pointed out another benefit — the abundance of buffs which need to be contested and controlled, making the games more dynamic and thrilling.

As a reminder, Dendi previously shared his honest comparison between League of Legends and Dota 2 after playing 2,000 games of LoL.
