DOTA 2

DOTA 2 is played in matches between two five-player teams, each of which occupies a stronghold in a corner of the playing field. A team wins by destroying the other side’s ‘Ancient’ building (hence the name Defenders of the Ancients), located within the opposing stronghold. Each player controls one of 111 playable ‘Hero’ characters that feature unique powers and styles of play. During a match, the player collects gold, items, and experience points for their Hero, while being yelled at in Russian.

League Of Legends

In League Of Legends, players assume the role of an unseen ‘summoner’ that controls a champion with unique abilities and battle against a team of other players, or computer-controlled champions. The goal is usually to destroy the opposing team’s ‘nexus’, a structure which lies at the heart of a base, protected by defensive structures. Each League Of Legends match is discrete, with all champions starting off fairly weak but increasing in strength by accumulating items and experience over the course of the game – so it’s pretty much DOTA 2 made by Riot Games.
