Dota and lol have 10x the playerbase and hon has been seeing a decline in player numbers despite going f2p. It is a poor decision on nasl part to back 3rd place out of a 3 game race. Beta isn't out yet... And since HoN goes f2p, it constantly hit 50k players online at the same time in International server, and just hit 25k players online in Garena server a week ago. | ||

Let me try and get to you some reasoning behind NASL to get HoN instead of LoL and DotA. 1. DotA is just a mod, it's way too old and half of its playerbase resides in China. Hard to make a league like that. DotA2 isn't out yet. 2. LoL might have large playerbase but it also suffers from certain problems and let me quote someone more knowledgeable on the matter than myself ([EG]chu, who got to #1 rank in LoL in under 2 months): Well made casual game, donkeyshit competitive game. There is only one way this game can be played at top level and that is passive farm-lane-entire-game, with its metagame heavily reliant on a stupid free blink that probably plagued that game since the beginning of time. 3. HoN has great spectator/LAN tools and some really good players (I mean, Testie plays HoN, what more do you need?). | ||

Graphics are pretty good too. I suggest not playing it on absolute highest though, the game becomes a little *too* shiny ^.^ | ||

I think they did that because in BW there were "starleagues" like, OSL meant OnGameNet Starleague. I'm pretty sure that North American Starleague was very much intended to mean SC2 league, like GSL. | ||

If you play the game, it is great to watch, and Breakycpk (the best/main commentator of the game) is awesome. If you haven't played it, it is probably just as hard as LoL to understand, although it is somewhat more competitive, with lots of strong teams for it's whole life time. Graphics are pretty good too. I suggest not playing it on absolute highest though, the game becomes a little *too* shiny ^.^ I agree and let me add that breakycpk is as good of a caster as tasteless or artosis in starcraft 2 , I love his casts. | ||

This^ + there aren't really that many jumping/leaping/blink spells, don't remember the excact number on the top of my head but I am certain it is below 10. | ||

Magebane: Melee, Master's Mantra is one of the worst skills in the game. Wretched Hag: Decent hero but nobody will scream imba. Doesn't have any sort of disable skill unlike other nukers like Pyro and Witch Slayer. Valkyrie: very well rounded hero. The blink is directional and fixed length but in return she gets a stun, even tho it has pretty bad reliability. Actually. that's pretty much it with blink heroes. There's Doctor Repulsor in a way but every time he uses it he loses like all his mana. | ||
