DotA 2 or LoL? Which MOBA?
Defence of the Ancients 2 and League of Legends. Also known as DotA 2 and LoL. Both games are of the MOBA genre and both excel in their own ways. But there have been eternal debates on which one is better. Vicky Wu gives her in-depth thoughts on both games with unbiased opinions.
Here’ s a topic up for discussion: DotA 2 or LoL? They are both games where you have a base and you must destroy the enemy’ s while protecting your own. Each side chooses a character to play( DotA 2 chooses a hero, LoL chooses a Champion) they level up to get stronger as they push forward and attempt to destroy the other team’ s base. Towers and turrets stand in the way and must be destroyed. Minions and creeps are killed for gold. There is a variety of skills that you can use to destroy your opponent and items you can buy.
Both games are fun, but which one is better? Let’ s examine each of the points a good MOBA needs and compare them.
STAGES
Before I go into the points, I would like to state that DotA 2 is only in its beta stage while LoL is fully released. Many features will surely be implemented into DotA before release.
Graphics
Many complain that one of the games has better graphics and character design than the other. However, this is a matter of preference. I have put two pictures side by side of the current in game graphics as of 2013. Take a look and see which one you prefer?
