I tried almost everything in the MOBA genre. LoL/ HoN/ Dota/ Dota 2 and even rise of immortals.

I started dota back in 5.84b or c days. Playing it for fun and with friends only.

I played HON during it's beta for like 1-2 months, it is a bit fast paced but everyone was considering it like the new dota and some of my friends wanted to switch over. It was like DOTA 2 at that time. Few months back I tried HON again and still I feel everything is much faster and I don't really like much about it. HON feels darker as well.

I only tried LoL co-op vs bot and for PvP I only did that during the vs GM event in my uni. Errr, team fight wise is all ok but maybe I don't have much understanding about the game like items and I really hate the limited heroes idea so I just play vs bot for fun. I like the graphic with a bolded outline, probably the only reason why I'm playing it.

Then I got Dota 2 , one of the earliest in LYN who get it, first batch in hardware survey. After trying it, yes I love it more than everything else mentioned. Everything feels better in DOTA2 compare to DOTA.

For now, I'll just play dota and dota2 depends where my friends are. DOTA 2 surely makes everything feels better, the game is smooth, the graphic and animation is nice as well. The game feel much more alive in DOTA 2 compare back to DOTA. Just like everything about it.

1 thing for sure, last hitting in DOTA2 is so much easier, I bet a lot start to spam the S button just to hear the sound and animation and it's so much for fun. I say this is one of the part which makes DOTA 2 so addictive to play xD Try it yourself before denying this statement. Ask all the hardcore/pro, they most likely agree to this.

I think some prefer more over DOTA because of it's complexity. You could manipulate lane creep even you dont have control over them, stuff such as blocking creep, pull or double pull creep, stack creep, denying whole wave of creep etc makes the game more fun since there is a lot stuff you could do, which gives you different outcome. When I play LOL, I feel so not natural in last hitting, I keep on tries to block the creep which I know I couldn't, I even try to deny and as well I couldn't.

Another factor for DOTA players not switching over LoL is that they had to relearn everything they learn from DOTA. Stuff above like I mentioned and about the runes etc and ability to hide in grass etc, warding spots.

Crit does not stack.

Buriza overwrite your ulti if you pickup your buriza after leveling your ulti. If buriza triggers, your ulti wont trigger. If your buriza doesnt triggers, your ulti might trigger. It's like 2 level but which ever you obtained last, that is the 1st level to check first.

WC3's pseudo random generator is kinda hard to hit 2 times crit in a row. If you got 25% chance, you start off with 6.67, then add another 6.67 until you crit, then it reset back to 6.67. Which means the 2nd crits you get falls at that 6.67% region which is quite small chance I say.

Back to topic, you can nuke down 1 hero to death, normally not solo unless you got too many item and your opponent is too slim or under level. Tiny is probably the hero which can nuke down 1 hero in 1 second. using that 12 combo. That normally applies to support hero,late game not really.
