Is this really a fair analogy? (Destiny)

It seems to make no sense but it actually does.

In Dota 2 I have every hero unlocked from the start. Their is no investment system other than self improvement (via ranked matchmaking or just increasing your own skill outside that, and learning new heroes and fun).

compare that to destiny where everything is a chore to work towards. If I want to use a new exotic I have to grind it out to unlock its signature ability. In dota if I want to play a new hero I just look up a youtube video and jump right in. With built in guides I don't even have to look up a video half the time.


Is the crucible really like this though? I play pretty regularly with a dude who never plays PvE and constantly wrecks shop in crucible. Is it fair to compare Dota 2 (an entirely PvP game) with the PvE in Destiny?

Yeah, not sure I completely agree with the analogy. However I definitely don't feel like I have the options to play Destiny how I want to play because I simply have exotics that don't work with my playstyle. And yeah the upgrading of exotics wiping the perks screws with people who do PVP and PVE.

I'm sitting here wearing a dead orbit shirt thinking about how I've become a casual Bungie fan.
