    Decorus reacted to Enderman in Do you think that Nvidia should recall 970's? (and Nvidia's response)   
    You didnt buy it because it had 64 ROPs.
    You didnt buy it because it had 2048MB cache.
    You didnt buy it because it had 4GB of memory.
     
    You bought it because it performs exceptionally well in games at a very low price.
    You bought it because it works.
    You bought it because thousands of others recommend it.
     
    If none of these stupid articles had existed everyone would be having a great time with their new 970 unaware of any issues.
    The fact that you didn't even realize that it had 3.5GB of memory, or only 56 ROPs, or whatever when you bought it shows that the specs are INSIGNIFICANT
     
    What matters is the performance, and that is what you paid for. And the performance is excellent.

    @Decorus you seem to have been missed out on, so I'll oblige: 9/10. Count me jealous of the 970 SLI.
     
    @faissaloo For 90 pounds....I give you a 5/10. Because you managed to do it in 90 pounds, I doubled the score I was originally going to give it.

    Oh wow, this thread is totally not riddled with shit posts.
     
    To put it simple, Dota 2 is more strategically and tactically intensive, while LoL is more skill intensive. Dota 2 is like a small military skirmish while LoL is more like a team brawl.
    Characters in LoL require's much less resource management, so outplaying the opponent consistently is more important, at least in the laning stage. Dota 2 has more tactical elements like a teleport item and an item that makes you invisible until you get in a close proximity of an opponent, stuff like these gives you more options in the tactical department.
     
    That's a pretty basic description of the games, both has solid qualities that makes different without being too niche. Feel free to ask if there's any questions, I've got hundreds of hours into both games and think I can answer unbiased.

    Just finished building my PC and after plugging it in my monitor didn't recognize the signal. The LEDs on my motherboard also glowed in blue and red (the manual doesn't say what this means). I figured I would try to remove one of the 970s I had installed, as I had read previously that it might be an issue booting up 2 cards with no drivers installed. As I pulled off the graphics card I had forgotten to hold down the pin, and I tore the PCI-E slot off with it. 
     
    Do I have to buy another mobo, or is there hope? Now when I boot the PC with one card I get no fans, and a blue LED on my motherboard.

    Well, if you really want a monitor with G-Sync, I believe that there were some G-Sync enabled IPS 120/144Hz monitors announced at CES 2015, so you may want to wait for those if that is what you want. On another note, though, I'm not much of a gamer and so input lag and response times don't matter to me, but I respect the fact that they matter to you, so...you might just have to wait buddy.

    I don't believe you guys are criticizing the games properly.
     
    First off, let me give a background of my MOBA history before I start talking about this genre.
     
    I've played DOTA, DOTA All-Stars, HON, LoL, and DOTA 2.
    I switched to these games in this order after I saw a decline in players.
     
    I played LoL the most when it first came out in closed beta with the main developers of the original DOTA All-Stars, Steve Guinsoo Feak and Pendragon, working on LoL as a new platform for the genre. They moved away from the original DOTA platform on W3 because of its limitation.
     
    I've tried and still play DOTA 2 for an extensive amount from when it first came out till now.
     
    I'm highly ranked in both LoL and DOTA 2 ladder system.
     
    To juxtapose DOTA 2 and LoL on a skill based aspect is completely wrong.
     
    More mechanics in the game does not make the game harder to master. Its like comparing the raw mechanical skills required in CS 1.6 vs Battlefield (multiplayer); CS 1.6 has less mechanics in the game (compared to BF) but requires much more mechanical skill. The more mechanics introduced in the game does not mean it is harder in any shape or form. I can make the same notion with Starcraft Broodwar vs Warcraft 3. Warcraft 3 has more mechanics to it with level of heroes and items on the heros. This does not make the game harder.
     
    Yes, I will agree that DOTA 2 has a higher learning curve. However, it is not harder to master. You cannot generalize your own personal subjective learning curve and push that idea onto others. Others will learn faster in some games compared to others.
     
    Secondly, both games are great MOBA genres. I dislike any hatred between these two games because they are powered and created from the co-founders and founders of DOTA on Warcraft 3.
     
    Simplcity does not suggest less skill required.
     
    Play the good'ol flappy bird on the iphone and that should just prove everything I've said.
