User blog comment:Krufix/Dota2 - Is it REALLY so much harder than LoL?/@comment-46.41.73.26-20130122211216/@comment-89.80.9.19-20130123190200

As you said in your own comment: I never cared enough about DotA. Guess what, I've been international player. That's why you are automatically wrong. But then again, I'll answer one by one.

Snowballing: this is not about the hp, this is about the overall. Ennemy who has two more level, will basically have more hp, more armor, more damages, more mana, more regeneration, more attack speed, and so on. But this is not the case. He will also have two more level in his spells. As you may know, there is no AP nor AD for spell in DotA. Also, spells have only four level, not 5. Which means that spells go strong incredibly faster than LoL. ALSO: an ennemy that kills you have freefarm for 1min. It will lead to +500 golds. While you lost 250 + 135 for the teleport (or anyway much golds if you come back walking). This means ~800 gold difference. 800 early gold in DotA = huge difference. Let's say he won 500g, he will buy (if he's agi) a wraith band. +3 agi, +3 all stats, +3 damages. Resulting into +9 damages + 6 attack speed. Not to mention that he now has better spells and more stats because of his level. Have fucking fun trying to outfarm now. If he's good, he will deny twice more easily, same goes for lasthitting. If you face a shadowfiend, he will now be able to rape you in two razes. This is why dying is painful.

Farming capabilities: quelling blade? Quelling blade doesn't get you farm, it only helps you lasthitting. You still have to go toward creeps, and still wont be able to do it if you have low health no escape agi hero versus two nukers. Battlefury? Radiance? Come on, those items arent cheap (+5k gold each). If you have a very bad farm, do you think you can afford one to counterbalance?? I asked you to kick off your brain, do it please. Same goes for Midas, this item is worth it only if you can afford it before the 12mn mark. If you get a terrible farm, you wont be able to do it, and you'll probably waste 1900 golds on a bad item with bad stats (25% attack speed for 1900g...).

About stacking ancients, I'll tell you heroes that can farm a stacked ancient camp without item: NOBODY. Even with Luna, you'll need level 5 and helm of the dominator (1850g). Even with magnus/sven you'll need tanking/sustain. Even with whatever carry you'll need battlefury or high attack speed + lifesteal. This means, this isn't a good farming opportunity before midgame, where game can already be lost.

I wont answer on your pro jungling statement, just give you an exemple about how idiot your sentence was: "Jungling: I never said anything about level 1 jungling. That is, in fact, quite hard, if you're not picking the right hero (Rammus, Warwick, Shen, some others) But if you farm some levels and a Spirit Stone or some other sustain item before going to jungle, you pretty much can farm it all day as long as you don't get ganked". Sounds pretty dumb right? Yeah it is.

Going out of ganks: unless you're playing with good players, the misses won't be told every time. Very few heroes can gank you if you pay attention?? What about all the invis? What about the heroes that were on lane and bought boots faster than you? What about all the heroes with MS buff? What about some stun combo? You know they can EASILY ward your jungle and pick you at the best moment, don't you?

Yeah, spamming bracers, I love when someone do that in the ennemy team, it's like a gift, you know. He gives you his ass to get gold all game long. This guy has 4 bracers (+2k gold) while I have a good midgame item that I will transform into lategame item later, while he will need to sell those for 50% gold.

About the dagger, yep it will combo very well on some heroes (like Magnus as you mentioned). But don't forget that this is 2k gold. If magnus rush dagger, he will only have mana for dagger ulti wave once. Not to mention that it is quite hard to get dagger with magnus unless you're feed or you have a great babysitter.

The rage was because of your fucking condescension in your first post while you were saying utter bullshit. I hate that. :)
