Dota 2 and League of Legends rank among the most popular Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) games in the esports circuit. Team Spirit put its Dota 2's The International 10 (TI10) winning team through League of Legends in order to find out whether the players were competent enough to play a game of the same genre. However, the experience was not enjoyable for the players and carry Illya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk expressed his frustration after playing League of Legends, which was hilarious. In addition to the gameplay difficulties, Yatoro also remarked feeling sick just by looking at League of Legends, saying that Dota 2's interface was superior.
Yatoro describes his frustration after playing League of Legends
The organization's YouTube channel showed a video showing Team Spirit's Dota 2 team playing League of Legends. Instead of Miroslaw "Mira" Kolpakov, coach Airat "Silent" Gaziev played as the fifth member of the team.
As most of the players seemed to struggle to get a hang of the game, the end result was bound to be unpleasant. Yatoro went on to describe League of Legends as the worst game in the world mentioning issues with both the interface and gameplay.
“It’s the worst game in the world because you feel sick just looking at it. If you just log into LoL, and then into Dota 2, you understand how far Dota 2 has come. The abilities are not targeted, all creeps are blocking them. They just killed special mobs and destroyed our base.”
When asked whether there was anything he enjoyed about the game, Yatoro gave a defiant response, saying there was no such aspect that he liked.
Moreover, there is a "Surrender" button in League of Legends that allows teams to concede defeat in the middle of a match if enough players vote for it. If such an option existed in Dota 2, Yatoro feels like they would not have won half of the games they did.
Yatoro was not the only one who did not have a lot of fun playing League of Legends. Silent also shared a very sarcastic response when asked about his experience in the game.
“It’s a great game. I liked it very much, especially the map. The visual stuff was nice. You enjoy looking at it. A great client. It’s very convenient to watch a TV series, eat and play LoL at the same time.”
Furthermore, captain Yaroslav "Miposhka" Naidenov described an incident from the game where he didn't particularly understand what he did. He concluded the game did not go well and jokingly said that he couldn't sit after the game because he felt uncomfortable.
On the other hand, offlaner Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov seemed to be the only member of Team Spirit who showed interest and played with focus. He was the strongest among his teammates and also boasted the most kills at the end of the game.
Overall, Team Spirit's Dota 2 players found League of Legends to be an irksome experience, resonating with the majority of the Dota 2 community
