League of Legends thoughts

So LoL. In case you don't know, League of Legends is the new DoTA game from the creators of... DoTA. If you don't know what DoTA is, this next part isn't going to make a whole lot of sense.

The team at Riot games has finally decided to move away from the limitations of the Warcraft 3 map creator and build a new game from the ground up. This new game is in many ways similar to the old, but there are some key differences; heroes are much tougher than they are in DoTA, encouraging aggresive play, skills generally cost less and they have removed denying (killing your own creeps), from the game.

So what does all this mean? Well for me personally, LoL is a much more fun experience than DoTA. It is more of a noob-friendly experience (and I am certainly a noob), and I love the new cell-shaded cutesy look. Messing around with friends in the beta(which is growing more and more open), has so far been a good time for all. For those looking for DoTA without the worst community on the internet, and a gentler learning curve, I recommend LoL.
