This is just baseless dislike from me so take it with grain of salt since i obviously don't know why i dislike the game lol. But anyways for whoever played the game.
What makes it a great game or a terrible one if it is? what separates it from other moba's ?
just curious .. not a flamebait swear
Less technically/mechanically demanding, more scenario/game mode oriented.

U get to play a game in like 15 mins and u queue as a hero/role so there's no 5-carry teams.
Plus there's no items so ur allies cant buy shadowblade on riki. Also no lasthitting so running up and autoattacking a lane is actually good. It's supposed to be "intuitive". Also the losing team gets like 3x experience so you literally cannot snowball.
It's hypothetically designed to take the big stresses out of traditional dota clones.

I guess I've heard that part of the attraction is that it's all about fighting from the very start. Like if Dotalikes games are Counterstrike, then Dota 2 is competitive mode, League is casual mode and HotS is deathmatch.

u mean armsrace also lrn2edit

basically, after LoL designed a game with riot-approved meta and took out many of the anti-fun elements to create the Superiormoba, HotS went a step further and took out even more anti-fun elements and forces you to play their meta to create SuperiorSuperiorMoba,

so basically i am right with HoTS being a FoC + Moba combination ?
you know fight all the time + try to push lanes ... hmm it's something similar to footman frenzy ?
hmmm interesting

Seems legit. HotS is fine when you want a little mindless fun and to press buttons. Tribalism is stupid, but hey, some of us live in a universe where its a blast.

I'm at the dota tourney, a load of autistic pubstars at the top, with ex AAA here to take away our rares

Maybe one day they create superiorsuperiorsuperior moba, where you just pick your hero, hit play, and the whole game plays itself!
Also if beesa isn't there the tournament isn't legit.
