vollizie [#2]League is the hardest esport to get into because in order to understand it, you pretty much have to get a grasp of it by playing the game yourself. It's almost impossible to fully understand without playing the game and learning the mechanics yourself. Dota 2 is in a similar vein.

I guess I should've said, "one of the hardest." MOBAs in general are really difficult to grasp for new viewers. It's not like FPS games, which are much easier to understand. I did say that Dota 2 was in a similar vein at the end. The learning curve for MOBAs is brutal af.

league has like 160 champions and dota 120 something, of course each game is different in some aspects but I think league has more mechanics that need to be learned overall
I would start by trying the game out and getting a grasp on the basics
Watching tutorials is from my experience NOT the way to go since there are a lot of bad ones out there or they are too complicated for new players.
Playing duo with someone probably the best way.
op.gg is a site pretty much everyone uses and where you see all the stats and builds of champs and which champs are good or bad but thats only ranked and not in pro play.
In case you dont wanna actually play league and just wanna understand pro games you should learn about 1. lanes/roles 2. objectives 3. and maybe phases of the game
Then you can choose if you want to watch LEC europe league LCK korea league LPL china league OR LCS NA league
but I recommend LCK and LEC since those are the most popular rn.
The most hyped up events are MSI and Worlds since those are the 2 international events that league has each year and the qualification system may be kinda confusing so you can just wait till play offs and choose a team you like then.
I used to play league somewhat often but nowadays i dont really follow the scene too much nor do i play the game very often but I think this still holds up ok. Allat

dota is harder to understand.
I watch LoL esport when it comes to LEC, MSI and Worlds without barely knowing anything and with like 5h of LoL experience(hate it and I'm garbage). But I still really like it. I think the casters do great job at explaining what is happening, win conditions etc and watchparties(like Caedrel) help a lot.
Might not help your problem, but just saying that LoL can be fun to watch even if you don't really understand what's actually happening. That you don't just give up because no clue about the game. Its really hype game to watch when you see team fights, solo fights etc.
sexocum [#3]by playing or watching league guides ig
idk i dont play league but this is what my friends who play league recommended to me
playing is mandatory, watching guides is optional, but you learn more that way, but if someone really wanna understand pro play they gotta play for atleast 2 months to grasp the basics

lpl is more popular than all the leagues combined
kcwhiteknight [#17]lpl is more popular than all the leagues combined
yeah but basically only in china
Poge [#18]yeah but basically only in china
not really, lpl is the most popular league aswell outside of its region (europeans, americans, koreans, watch lpl the most when not watching their native region) but yea i get your point
azeijrazjerflazeknrfgfv [#15]LoL is a shit game, it made Rito famous.
Rito should stop developing Lol and put all its resources into Valorant 2.0 (paying wall hacks, subscription to agent like a Chamber 2.0 (renew every month), edating queue ... etc)
edating queue is already in the game under the name swiftplay
listen unless your commited to learning the game, its pointless to make an attempt, i watched worlds last year and didnt know what was going on, but i wanted to learn the game so I tried and it took so long theres so much to understand in the game from every single character to movement like the skill gap in that game is actually insane maybe because I come from FPS but league is by far the longest and one of the most diffucult games I had to learn and Im still bronze after months of playing and still only know like 50% of the game.
Poge [#20]edating queue is already in the game under the name swiftplay
yeah but imagine, you name it edating and add a ticketing fee for each match.Gonna 10x Tinder, its basically a money printing machine concept.
now imagine you add a spectator fee to that queue where you can join a match as invisible spectator, after one year Rito can start its own bank.
just saying.

even though league has more characters, dota is significantly more confusing and harder to understand
NneonZz [#27]even though league has more characters, dota is significantly more confusing and harder to understand
league is easier because they took what was tedious for general audience (denying creeps for example) removed that and made it more accessible and i'm sure other little aspects I can't think off the top of my head right now. But overall. yes FPS is easier to learn over MOBA.
