Probably. I kind of did the same thing

The learning curve does kind of suck

[C.Mongler]

it does for sure but it's also what makes them way more intricate and deep than any other genre of competitive games out there. they're way more exciting and dynamic to watch than anything i've seen; even some of the best CS:GO, Smash, or Street Fighter matches I've seen don't hold a candle to the excitement I feel watching a halway decent DotA match. i don't know how you could make it more learnable without also sacrificing a fuck ton of depth. i mean i guess HotS did it to an extent, but that game does lack a lot of the depth that LoL and DotA has lel

i geuss the ultimate problem is how untranslatable mobas are. like that's why there's so few of them that people actually play because you have to invest a shitfuck of time to even be mediocre at one of them. like if you are really good at CS:GO i can probably hand you the keys to Overwatch for the first time and you'd probably do fine. If you let a dude who plays LoL into a blind DotA match, or vice versa, with average skilled folks, you'll get fuckin' wiped. that was the weirdest part of the moba craze of a few years ago that seems to have died down a bit: devs were trying to cash in on one of the must un-cashinable genres ever created. people find a moba they like, learn it, stick with it for thousands of hours, and never really want to branch out. it's not like casually picking up a new FPS or RTS to play

[Mando Pandango]

[YPrrrr]

At least we can agree HoTS is garbage

Yeah my brother wants me to play smite with him but tbh the amount of time I'd have to invest isn't worth it bleh especially with so many hours and dollars in lol already
