Don't forget the UI. It would be cool to see some discussion on non-web/mobile apps on DN.

HSSSSSS DOTA2 IS BEST CYKA MID OR FEED

joke's aside, the reason why I chose dota2 because I always appreciate valve's art and previous games. I'd take anything without thinking if it's from valve.

I also find discussing which one is the best. It's like comparing halo with destiny. (Because quake is the best :p )

I find DOTA2's UI (also with the reborn update) much much better actually. It feels solid and they do really listen community. I remember seeing a badly photoshopped image on reddit which the user claims that the overlay that he made was much better for the reborn update. It was obvious that he/she was not a designer but just a gamer. But the best part is in a few weeks valve actually did listened and updated UI. Also they included his reddit username in credits.

It's a great thing that the developer of the game literally reads our thoughts and focused on the game instead of making the game more profitable. I may like valve but I don't care about their money.

about the workshop items;

I knew that valve is extremely restrictive with the custom items but it's because of every single hero has it's concept. For example there's this hero called Gyrocopter. He has a funky clunky helicopter and he has tons of different skins. But even you zoom out %200 you can identify because of it's characteristic animations, forced colour palettes. Which means valve has great art directors.

On the other hand I find LoL's artworks are good as well, but I find they have lack of consistency (christmas skins are awful idea)

On the other hand, LoL has 60m players and DOTA2 has just 12m. Which means these are just my thoughts :) The whole world decided which one is more fun

or easy >:)
