Guess you never had friends frustrated with dota.

I played Dota 1 straight through to Dota 2. A lot of people went from Dota 1 to HoN. Don't presume so much.
Eagerly awaiting Techies.

Not at all. I've never played a "MOBA" other than Dota and I don't plan to change that any time soon.

I've never played it no.

The only other stand-alone dota games I've played is like Demigod which I pirated and still feel cheated, and I played HoN in very early beta for 2 hours. I was in Uni at the time though so I didn't really need a new game to play, we played Dota every now and then on Lan but I probably didn't play games for more than 50 hours per year during Uni.

Lots of friends tried it and we are currently playing it.

The main reasons are that it has a really nice ranking system (I actually want to play in order to get to plat/dia), it is almost completly russian free and it is fun learning new champs(!) and their spells.

Dota 2 would outlclass League in every aspect if they'd implement more competitive features and enforce region locking.

I have played LoL extensively(and sometimes still do with some irl friends because they play LoL), played HoN until the beta ended(and I paid 25$ for that shit and never played it after lmao). Played Dota 1 for years, never tried Smite or Demigod

eagerly awaiting for the release of Infinity crisis so I can play the motherfucking Batman.

Region locking only makes sense in the context of LoL because if you make a new account on a different region, you don't have any heroes unlocked and start out level 1 with no runes, so the gameplay experience kind of blows.

If you put it in DotA, there's nothing that would stop people from queuing multiple regions anyway because there's no gameplay impact for making a new account.

In general, I'm pretty mixed on the ups and downs of region locking. I get that people don't want to play with people who don't speak their language, but it's also a pretty huge bummer to not be able to play with EU friends in LoL unless one of us is smurfing.

I guess I've also played a tiny bit of monday night combat which is dota-like.

I don't really know why people would want to have an enforced region locking... What if you want to play mm with your friend from another region?
I'm fine with playing with Russians even when i can't really communicate with them. I can understand 75% of what they say even when I only 'know' their alphabet and I assure you that pinging and basic English like saying 'go, 'back', 'push', 'buy chick' is enough to have fun.
If you really want solo ladder you can always play some ih leagues. Yes, it would be cool to have it integrated into the client but it might lead to ladder anxiety even if you had normal and ranked queue.

Never played or installed lol, actually the first time I saw the game I thought it was a cartoon game for kids, perhaps I stayed on that impression and I would enjoy it. I don't play much games anymore anyway >< Never played hon either. Just wc3 and dota and some "alternative" dota maps. I remember a kind of dota map but with grass and no river I think, with a lot of human houses that you could destroy, my souvenirs aren't clear, it was definitely dota like and also was botleft vs topright, but I remember the map being a lot more open and "green" than the dota map.

When I installed it about 4 years ago, I couldn't make myself finish the tutorial level. The artstyle, the fixed camera that I didn't find a way to turn off and the lasthitting mechanic felt too weird for my DotA brain to comprehend the potential and complete superiority of this game.

The thing that annoyed me most in LoL is that it is so easy to get 6 slotted, and after you have 6 slot there really isn't anything you can spend your money on.

Regarding region locking, I still have yet to hear anyone give any reason for allowing people to queue multiple servers. Allow people to queue only one server and you completely remove the issue without in any way preventing people playing with friends.

The only people it "hurts" are those who get the same ping on different servers and want faster queues. However, it should in theory average out wait times just fine (less popular searches would take longer, admittedly, but the more popular ones would actually take less time), so I don't think that's a great reason.
