[2020] Switched to League from Dota after 8000 hours, feeling like I'm finally having fun again.

I have been playing Dota for 5 years, I got about 8000 hours on the game. Since one year or something the game seems absolutely dead, there are only smurfs, cheaters, very very toxic people.

I tried getting into League before, like 1 year ago, but for some reason at that time I didn't enjoy it that much. Now, because of the quarantine I decided I will try League again with some friends. And for some reason I'm actually enjoying it a lot. Actually the reason might be that I love the feeling when you are a new player, because it's amazing to learn new stuff. I remember doing that on Dota, but now after 8000 hours, there's absolutely nothing to learn.

I'm having lots of fun trying new champions and getting these rewards. I'm mainly playing support, I absolutely love Soraka! It's just an amazing feeling to keep my cores low hp but not enough to die and constantly bait the enemy. I play some mid as well (I used to be a mid only player on Dota) and for now I enjoy Ahri, because I think positioning skill is very important on her. I even got this "K/DA Ahri" skin in a lootbox, which is amazing, I got lucky there I guess. I'm not used to these kind of rewards. Also, I'm trying my best to learn Qiyana, I like the concept so much. It's hard, but after like 20 games with her I kind of got the idea.

Now I'm level 33 already after like one month of playing only League and not touching Dota. I'm looking forward to unlock Ranked soon. Maybe the only downside is that I find people often more toxic than on other games, but I also got some amazing people in my games that teached me, which I am very grateful for.

I'm enjoying it so much that I can't wait to finish my work at university sometimes just so I can play more. Thank you for the amazing experience.
