Dota actually requires so much more game knowledge and strategy than starcraft its insane dont @ me

I mean I think they're pretty different games, you could even argue however you define strategically that there is a large disparity between different heroes alone. The same can be said for races or even comps in sc2. Different positions will also require different skill-sets

StarCraft is imo a far more challenging game than dota as a steady race but dota fights can spike up pretty high mechanically too, outside of fights - Dota's slower pace & changing nature every thursday is of course more demanding mentally / strategically, there's always too much

With this said I think that if sc2 changed as often, the game would be to the average player - FAR more challenging than Dota 2 mentally and physically - Whereas I think a top drafter/capt in Dota 2 would probably require a greater depth of understanding than the top sc2 players.
