User blog comment:Krufix/Dota2 - Is it REALLY so much harder than LoL?/@comment-24.28.69.220-20130121005425

Just reading the bit about stats in Dota, I'm curious as to how much you played it before writing this. There's Strength, Agility, and Intelligence, the stats you mentioned, but you conveniently leave out the part where they are not the only attributes on items and you also brush off actives and passives almost completely despite their being one of the more important factors in build decisions. That would be like saying that Hourglass in League is worthless when it's very important for many caster heroes due to its active ability. The same could be said for something like Last Whisper or Shurelias. Also, in Dota you often buy items to get several of the stats you tried to paint as "League exclusive" such as Crit, Armor, Damage, Armor Reduction (Armor Pen), HP, or Attack Speed. Dota is not run on the simple "pick one of these three" principle you lead readers to believe.

You also understate the act of controlling multiple units very, very much so. Many units in Dota are very important to keep alive (i.e. charmed creeps from Chen or Enchantress, Sylla's bear, illusions of all sorts, and Brewlings from Brew's ult to name a few) and I assure you that you cannot just "right click on the dude you want dead" to accomplish your goal. Sylla for instance depends heavily on his bear. He is a carry hero but typically carries very few of his items and the few he has are primarily to keep him alive. His bear on the other hand carries most of his items (the important ones anyway) and if it dies they all disappear until the bear is brought back, which can be a while with a 3 minute cooldown to summon. It also causes a couple hundred damage back to Sylla upon death. Knowing this, you probably understand that keeping the bear intact while it's on cooldown is very, very important.

You have overall done a terrible job of expressing your opinion as most of the information in this entry is clearly biased. If you're going to do something like this at least give both sides a reasonable chance with solid evidence to back up your points. I personally find Dota and League similarly difficult in different ways although I'd honestly claim Dota to be harder (for those of you who disagree go ahead and go try Dota if you can find an invite. Play it for a while and I guaranteee you will, at the very least, find it as difficult as League) but I respect your opinion. What I don't respect is you clearly misleading your readers with blatant misinformation.

TL; DR - The man's entitled to his opinions but You shold probably make your own before reading thsi as it is garbage.
