It is not because the power gap isn’t significant in Hots between early and late game. You suddenly find yourself without any attack speed, movement speed, abilities, etc.
So when starting over at Level 1 in a new game is a horrible feeling. When you finish a game, you’re used to having a full set of items and all abilities, and generally feel really powerful. It also makes your power gap in between games feel unbearable. This problem is absent in Hots because hero specific talents replace items. This means that tweaking an item may completely ruin 1 hero, just so that another hero isn’t too overpowered anymore. When Riot has to adjust the meta in LoL, they cannot ignore items as a part of it. This causes an endless stream of problems.įirst of all, it screws up balancing.

Whereas in League, you have to get some early kills so that you can out gear your opponents. The way you carry in the two games is just so vastly different. Because of the shared experience and reliance on your teammates, it is a lot harder to carry in Hots. It is worth noting that Hots has 15 completely different maps to offer, which means that due to the considerable variation and importance of objectives, there is a lot of skill involved in learning to play the maps correctly. Hopefully, Heroes will catch up soon as they release new heroes at a much faster pace. Since it’s been out for so long, it has an enormous pool of champions, which also mean that there are more champions with a higher skill cap than in Hots. I will give League of Legends this though. However I find that team fighting is the most significant test of skills in a MOBA, so this myth is far from the truth. So if you think soaking and last hitting is a real challenge compared to team fighting, then LoL is genuinely more challenging. Instead, the team fighting usually starts a few minutes into the game. If yes, then sure.ĭue to the objective based maps of Hots, you generally don’t spend a lot of time in your lane. So is it true? Well, that depends if you find last hitting minions and soaking lanes for 20 minutes to be a challenging and engaging experience.
