User blog comment:Krufix/Dota2 - Is it REALLY so much harder than LoL?/@comment-201.68.28.212-20130121135000

Only having 3 stats is hardly an indicative of build depth ...

First of all, there are items that simply give no stats whatsoever and are amongst the most powerful items in the game, such as Blink Dagger. Furthermore, even in some items that do give stats they are really kinda secondary, a bonus really, like Force Staff, Necronomicon and Dagon. You don't really get those items for stats, you get for the effect they provide, even though the stats do help.

If you played a bunch of pubs and you think you know Dota, it's the equivalent of a guy that didn't even reach level 30 and thinks he knows everything about LoL and can judge it with precision. Tbh, Dota pubs are not really Dota. AP games are dumb, and unless you are on the Very High side of Very High bracket (not just on Very High, but on top of Very High) you will probably play with people that mostly don't care about the meta or anything else and will just random heroes and screw around. It's hardly a real game of Dota.
