This prompt is better than the one that barely beat it <| sep |> 1 . It ' s for noobs ! I found that one to be funny ! D Because everytime I a Dota player said that to a LoL player they freaked out . And then I see them trying Dota and they can ' t last hit a single minion . ANYWAY , I still agree , Hots is initially way easier than LoL or Dota , but for me that was a selling point . I stopped playing LoL because I always prefered Dota , so why bother with a slightly easier clone that takes the same amount of time to play and has a way more toxic playerbase . You can actually play Hots for FUN . Weird concept for a game , but even people who didn ' t practice for 1000 games can be ok at Hots . For example my GF would never touch Dota or LoL because the learning curve is way to steep , but she plays Hots because she doesn ' t have to care for Last Hits , gold , the death penality is far less impactful and so on . Its way less stressful and time consuming than LoLDota and therefor can be a great side game when you are not in the mood to waste 60 minutes with people who will scream at every mistake you make . Losing to a bad engage or a stupid move from someone who didn ' t listen after 5060 minutes of LoL is way more frustrating than losing 34 games of Hots in the same time , because you don ' t get invested and worked up that much about one single round . Why did I write this ? I don ' t know . I guess I just agree with all the others here , that the article seems quiet raw and unwelcoming . And I wanted to show how much further you can go with the analysis .
