Lebron/Durant as DOTA characters

[knicksman]

Lebron is a semi carry who can be a support/PG or carry/scorer but not as good as a hard carry like Durant. Lebron is a low risk low reward type of player just like a semi carry whereas Durant is a high risk high reward. If you have no idea how to build a team or doesn't trust your teammates, then you chose LeBron coz he will give you higher chance of winning but you go for Jordan/Durant/kobe if you know how to build or have good teammates.


Lebrons skills becomes redundant if you put good players around him that's why all star players became scrubs playing alongside with him and superstars becoming all stars. Whereas pippen(another iguodala) or westbrook became superstars playing with Durant/Jordan.

That's why its hard to build around LeBron. You basically need a carry around him because he cant carry a team unless there are no carries in the league. Support are useless for him because he can do it. And these carries are definitely superstars of this league so youre hoping for a superstar like Durant/Jordan/kobe. Unlike Durant/Jordan/kobe which only needs support players like pippen/gasol/westbrook to win in this league.

1/10. Pure ******ry good lord

Hard carries need heavy babysitting while they farm because they are absolutely useless early-game.
Semi-carries can get huge by being active and ganking in early-game.

Bad analogy you got here.

MOBA's are for casual gamers. :roll:

that's what im saying..Durant/Jordan is better if they have a pippen while LeBron/pippen wouldn't produce the same. I wouldn't be surprise if they wouldn't win anything

DoTA = Defense of the Ancients

It used to be a Warcraft III: Frozen Throne mod. Now it's a stand-alone game on Steam.

It's generally classified as a MOBA for Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. In a nutshell, it's 5v5, and you level up your character and try to kill the enemy base.

I'd argue it's not really for casual gamers fyi. The skill curve is stupid high.

And the payouts for Dota and LoL (League of Legends: a watered-down Dota) dominated the competitive gaming scene in 2013.

Wouldn't really say the skill curve is high compared to starcraft...

[sc19]

Garbage game. Garbage genre. So glad these crap are only on the PC.

[gin17]

lebron is like puck--very solid hero in every situation and has all kinds of escape mechanisms

[Zyzz]

Individual skill curve I agree with you. But maximizing your individual skill curve is one thing...you then gotta find four other players to play competitively with, and get better as a team, etc.

Horrible analogy, and your understanding of Dota is novice at best lol.

I used to hate MOBA games until I got sucked into it cuz of friends playing it (Leagues). I still play because of the time I've spent learning how to play the game lol.

In Leagues:

Lebron is Orianna
KD is Vayne

I dont know what that means so I am going to assume that the OP is a homosexual

I'd say LeBron is more like professor Vintamaro
KD is like Sargent Lariman

DotA 2 is hard. 2000 hours, still a noob.

LeBron = Riki (invisible backstabber who always gets his own stats, but fragile and easy to counter)
