EDIT: Thanks for taking the time to elaborate. Much appreciated. In hindsight, I see I'm knit-picking, and that I still haven't slept, so I'm likely to revisit this tomorrow. This isn't the case for other popular MOBAs like Heroes of the Storm and SMITE. Many of them have champion rotations or 'free weeks' to test champions out. This is something I haven't grasped, but I can assume it alleviates toxicity within the community. Frankly, I could care less about the stereotypes as well. I guess my investment in LoL so far started with friends and the complexities engaged me in learning more. That said, I'm content on my side of the fence. :) Happy hunting in DOTA. It's interesting to read of those who play both/cross over and bring insight from other games as well as point out the game design similarities.Having all heroes available to you from the start has been the founding principles of MOBAs.
nothing is stopping you from changing your style for this match or even this hero.
