EPTThe fact that he actually has to target stuff to cast his spells is also a new move to make the game 'harder', and the hero harder to micro. Something big's going on. I think they're trying to make the game less noob friendly.

Something big's going on. I think they're trying to make the game less noob friendly. Well a lot of spells, even from newer heroes, are target area type. It would be pretty tough if there was a delay before the trees cannon towards the hero but from what's shown in the video, looks like its almost instant or absolutely no cast time. To be honest though, I like that most spells have no cast time. It makes the fighting more 'fun' (for lack of better word). The reason I dislike dota2 are many, among which is everything just seems slower and there are more delays in many aspects of the game which is clearly evident. My friend made the argument that dota2 is harder to play or has a higher skill ceiling - maybe due to the engine, mechanics, or maybe just the fact that the heroes and items are different make it inherently more difficult I play. Personally, I don't find it to be true but that's just an opinion based off of maybe ten games played at most. What u guys think? Is dota2 a harder game? And if so, why?? | ||

And if so, why?? no, if it is its because theres more competition. but thats about it. it's as empty as argument as apm equates to higher skill level in starcraft, they're clearly concentrating on the wrong thing when it comes to source of difficulty in the game. | ||

Yeah I was being ironic and threw a jab at EW ^^ Most new heroes are really strong, and I don't see this one being an exception. I dunno though, they usually look way better in the introductions than they actually are. | ||

Not to mention "clan teamliquid" might as well be called "clan sit in this channel and dont say a word, in fact this might as well be ""clan disease passed on by typing"" " | ||

Obviously by the power of deduction and knowing other people's TL accounts. Lately, I've been playing DotA2, and with HoN giving me errors (truncated block list) on whenever I try to join a game, I switched as of now. To be honest, I haven't been on TS lately either because I don't feel like opening the application, nobody to talk with over there. | ||

I see what u mean though, tbh the TL teamspeak seems more like a hosting ground for ingroup people than for a collection of TL players, but that said HoN in general seems to be pretty shit for finding TL people, let alone as a game on its own. I swear I like HoN, but it just seems to be dying in every way, which is a shame because compared to dota2 (which I've played) it's still alot better  | ||

As for the remove that probably was ragey from your disconnect problem, but im not properly sure, might be I just wanted to solo queue and didnt want you to think I was on and ignoring you, so (somewhat ironically really) removed you so you wouldn't know. I still has you on skype! | ||
