That makes me worry about how inaccessible Dota is.

The biggest problem for me with League was the items: There are far too many to choose from and I don't have time during a match to figure it out. So I need to plan what items I want before the match, but I can't be guaranteed to play the character I was planning on. So I need to preplan a build for 5 different characters before quing, and then deal with some of the most toxic people bitching all game anyway.

    The item issue for new players has mostly been solved nowadays with recommended builds, you can't go THAT wrong using them exclusively for lower tiers

    To be fair it has been quite some time since I've played it. Glad to hear the item issue is less of a problem but it's still poor game design (if you're going to have people use the recommended option why bother having the options at all?).

    The two biggest reasons I have no interest in trying again is how long the matches take, and how incredibly fucking toxic people were last time I tried it. I don't know if that has improved at all, but from what I hear it sounds like it's still pretty toxic.
