By that time it was very obvious that DotA has grown huge. They could because every single image and model in warcraft 3 are created by Blizzard and thus the property of Blizzard. Dota exists almost entirely on models allready present in the game, property of Blizzard. If i make an awesome game using legos i can't just suddenly start selling legos as part of my game. | ||

When I first learned about it I really hope they would make it into an awesome game, but the more stuff is released the less hyped I am. Would be nice if this game turned out great, but I guess I'll remain with HoN. ![]() User was warned for this post | ||

At this point : "HoN is there with everything better than Dota" it was clear that he's not serious | ||

If you think HoN is better than Dota gameplay-wise you might just not have been into Dota anyway. For a large part though, Dota1 gameplay is exactly what we want. | ||

And honestly, I see basically no difference between the games except for better graphics and ui, plus more convenient online setup (seeing as it's a whole game made out of War3 map and you don't need 3rd party stuff like Garena). | ||

You were introduced to DotA and then played HoN explains everything. You didn't really get to experience DotA enough to notice the differences. The only reason I switched to HoN was because of the "upgrades" such as leaver protection, reconnection etc. Gameplay wise DotA has always been far superior. By the way, I hope you don't mind I borrowed your comment for my signature. | ||

It seems DotA 2 isn't using orc, elves, taurens etc. Those are part of Blizzard's world. There's no reason they can't make a flying redheaded sorceress or a blinking antimage with razor blades. If they don't call Tauren Chieftain Tauren Chieftain in Dota 2 then they have already gone around copyright. | ||

I'll play wherever the people are and my friends are, which at this points means DOTA 2 unless DOTA 2 is a complete piece of shit | ||

That said, I will be more than happy to help ANYONE when they start out - I've played dota for a significantly larger proportion of my life than I'm comfortable to admit, and whilst I'm horribly out of practice competitive wise (curse you uni for taking dota time away), competitive types aren't going to need help. Might I suggest a list of steam names for those who wish to coach and/or be coached - I think there's a coaching system that will be in place? I'll put my name forward as a start - my steam's lozarian anyway, it wouldn't take much to put two and two together. | ||
