I'm sure we can all understand why winning the 2014 world cup over Argentina doesn't make any particular forward on the German team better than Messi yes?

Even if you submit that Messi is overrated or whatever I don't think that changes anything.

i'm not sure you can compare dota and football

You cannot blame them for having a good plan.

i lasted 3 games on that shit

the first time I launched i was instantly forced into their god-awful tutorial without ever seeing a menu. With the world's worst controls, horrendous default video settings (like 480p resolution or some shit), sound settings, etc and I couldn't access an options menu until i completed their suicide-inducing bullshit.

at least I had a friend to show me how to actually attempt to find a game (as far as I could tell, the interface was intentionally designed to obfuscate the ability to play the game in favour of showing off the latest $30 skin/hero). after 3 20 minute button-mashing-fests where i was stuck with about 1/4 of a hero because i couldn't actually skill the synergistic "talents" I called it quits. I kinda intended to play more but every time I think about playing that game I lose all interest.

Paid beta access is a lot more OK when ur actually getting the whole game for ur $$$ instead of having to buy the champs in addition.

I keep thinking that I'll try it as a more casual/quick game but then I read more about it and lose all interest.

Besides there's superiormoba if I want the illusion of progress by leveling up and getting masteries and runes, talents and and even more restricted set of heroes just sounds unpleasant

also how the FUCK did blizz allow 2 of their current titles to have the same fucking acronym that's just beyond me

talking about LoL right? back when i first graduated college i had free time so i tried it out. idr how much i won or lost but i purchased a hero, the one that has an ulti like mirana's sacred arrow.

basically i got bored and went back to starcraft. same thing happened when i first tried dota.

started from the bottom now we here

e: oh you meant heroes..tried that too..it was fun but got boring fast. the objectives thing was a neat idea though.

superiorsuperior moba sucks if you try to compare to an actual moba but if you pretend its just a mini game or no barrier to entry WoW battleground moba it's not bad for a game or two with friends. It would be the absolute worst game to solo q though, but with a group of friends it has it's charm.

I am happy to say I have been in the "betas" for top three mobas and each has had its own charm. I missed with LoL used to say "owned" after every kill.

Heroes is fun with friends and the games last 15 minutes. The locked talents sucks balls if you are used to playing Dota or any game of that type. But for new players it helps. Just wish you didn't have to do it for each hero.

And you can play a siege tank, which is fucking dumb/awesome.
