Anyway I'm glad to at least see them adding HoN for this season, it'll be enjoyable to see how it turns out. Moving to Dota 2 for season 3 would be a smart move, though. | ||

Edit: This probably also drove the 'choice' of which of game to pick. | ||

More popularity for everyone. How do you figure that one? Halo has been in MLG for centuries and I've never ended up watching it, lol and hon have been at countless events like IEMs and DHs and ive never watched it. The likelihood is its going to be at the same kind of broadcast hours as the starcraft but just on a different channel so most people arnt going to get involved in the other game | ||

Any thoughts on why they would do this? Are they trying to become the new MLG? NASL needs money. HoN needs Promotion. | ||

But congrats to HoN. I was pretty scared that HoN was dead as an e-sport but DotA 2 is going to take over DX But whether it is LoL, DotA, or HoN, pro MOBAs are boring to watch...it is almost like reading a textbook. Why read the textbook when you can go into the lab and have all the fun you want? | ||

I'm not sure why NASL would jump on it if S2 isn't paying for most, if not all, of it. | ||

This is probably accurate. On September 07 2011 04:38 Pokebunny wrote: YES YEEEEEAH~! So happy we've got HoN and not more LoL. Super psyched for HoN and SC2. Woooooo Now all you need to do is drop SC2 and play HoN with me.  Also: LOL at all the LoL people in this thread. Edit: Also: LOL at all the HoN people bashing LoL in return. Guess what, you both think your game is the cat's pajamas but you don't need to hate the other one for no reason. Neither one is a bad game. | ||

I was at Gamescom in Cologne, and the difference between the audience sizes of LoL and HoN were enormous. Where maybe a maximum of 50 people were watching HoN, at least a thousand were watching the mainstage finals, along with at least 300 for the semis/3rd place match. It's a staggering difference, and even DotA2's crowd was multiple sizes bigger than HoN's. It might be a really good competitive game to play, but there are several problems. S2 is even worse of a developer for the competitive scene than Riot, the community is even worse than LoL's (which is already multitudes worse than SC2's community), and it's not a very accessible game for people who want to get into it. Things are not very clear for a first time viewer, and a first time viewer will get easily bored because of it (I did, watched a match at the HoN booth). LoL has a very clear graphical style, which makes everything that happens on screen a bit easier to understand. atleast hon have a pause function,stats interface, and banning/picks phase. riot is a developing a competitve game? rofl. no they are too busy making another casual map "dominion". dont tell me you really think dominion is gonna be the main map for tournaments. anyways im hoping to see these 8 teams. 1.msi-best team 2.whp5- allstar north american team. 3.col- just because paintitgold 4.sgty- best american team imo 5.lion- love them for monkey king pick against OK 6.ok- who doesnt love h4nni 7.dskb- best SEA team 8.infs | ||

As a spectator sport it is hard to follow due to it's complexity and due to the multiplayer aspect it is terrible since you miss the majority of what happens unless there is an epicenter of action. which only happens every so often in the game. Meh im the same boat as u...moba's are boring as fuck to watch. Ive never made it through a whole game. I play hon an lol cant wait for dota2 to come out but as a spectator sport? I dont know how people can sit trough it personally. But then again golf and baseball have viewers too so to each his own. | ||

HoN tried and failed to be " the exact dota clone", the mechanics, items and heroes are way too different nowadays to call it one. original DotA players moved to HoN Most of the DotA 1 competitive scene would like to have a word with you. Anyway, while I like hon better than LoL, It's just gonna hurt them more if they choose the smaller game. | ||
