I never tried LoL, but I have played DotA for several years now, since back in the 3.x days (we are up to 6.69c I believe currently) and also played the HoN public beta for a while, but did not like all the fancy bells and whistles at the sacrifice of gameplay.
How is League of Legends? Is there as much strategy/team formation as DotA or is it watered/dummied down some? Also is it still free? I might have to give it a look, although I am not sure it could pull me away from Dota, I am a huge fan and have several good friends that play with me most of the time. (currently using dotacash as a hosting clan, although I am not affiliated with them for any other reason) If anyone here plays dota and wants to game sometime I am definitely down.

hi sexy people

Dota was actually the first game i really played in my life (except for cs and sc on some lans). Been playing it for 3 years and kinda high level at some point. Also played some while it was beta but i actually did like dota more.
At first i didn't like LoL cuz of the graphics

and stopped playing it after the first 3 games but my mates got me back into it.
And trust me..its awesome. It's simply 100x as addicting as dota since you gain level and unlock stuff etc . There are endless more possibilities and you can play heroes with pretty different builds.
And best thing imo is..if you're looking for more action..go with LoL. Laning phase is so much more fun and clashes usually start at lvl1 in high level games.
I also loved Dota but it got kinda boring and LoL was just exactly what i was looking for. Not so lame farming in lane etc.
You should give it a try. And its free ofc and not to forget they release a new hero every 2 weeks

so it never gets old even for the veteran players.
