I know this sounds crazy, but this one dude made a whole operating system that closes League when it opens. It became very popular -for unrelated reasons- and now it's used in most supercomputers in the world.

it worked until riot required kernel level Anti-Cheat. for everyone in the same boat as me: after 6 months dota feels like league

Dota feels like LoL in the same way a wagyu steak tastes like McDonald's burger patty. (I played LoL some 16 years ago and switched to Dota 13 years ago)

Dota has always felt incredibly clunky to my adhd ridden brain. Turn speed being a legitimate concern when picking a character feels insane to me

In reality nobody really thinks about the turn speed (unless maybe pros). The skill range is big, so the only thing that really matters is that matchmaking places you with people of similar skill.

if you are coming from league, turn speed feels really bad. league has way more skill shots though.

after 2 years of dota, I also don't think about it anymore but the first few months were rough

Yeah, naturally it takes getting used to. But overall I can't imagine going back to LoL (even though I still miss Teemo and Nocturne after all this time, lol).
