you mean turn speed? check out dota 2 wiki! Maybe server issues too. try bane and feel how he pivots...

edit" dota 2 wiki doesnt actually have anything about turn speed at the moment, but most the problems it presents can be handled by careful control, and understanding it can help you make plays. Is pretty automatic after a 100 games imo but still in almost every game people get caught turning and running from a push.

not sure what you mean, im just saying, after playing a game with really excellent response time (something critical to this type of games success) it is frustrating and disappointing to try and play Dota2 where there are delays in every action.

also it seems like some heroes, after casting a spell, are spell locked in place and dont respond for an entire second.

i love how this game looks but the little things are dragging it down.

“<HoN> is a 3-year-old game with great content. We are exciting to introduce this game to Korean gamers and looking forward to finishing localization by the first half of 2012,” said Shin.

The problem is that you're falsely concluding that DotA has a "slow response time" and is "unresponsive". DotA is perfectly responsive if you're under 250ms (else there's delay). With that said, I agree that the game does feel sluggish after playing HoN but the primary reasons are turn speed and animations.

Turn speed is practically non-existant in HoN. If you're being chased as Witch Slayer for example, you can turn around and graveyard or miniaturize and then keep fleeing. In DotA, the turn speed often makes it detrimental to turn and use skills. It may take you a second to turn around as Lion, then you have the cast time of Earth Spike, then you take another second to turn around and start running again. That's not unresponsiveness: it's simply a difference between the games.

Animations are another factor. I can't think of anyone who is "locked in place" after casting and if so you would just animation cancel it as you do in HoN. You're probably just not used to the DotA animations for this. However, I think that animations for skills are slower on the whole in DotA, and balanced with the turn speed and other differences between the games.

P.S. I also like HoN's speed. I wish DotA2 didn't have such slow turn speed and they just scaled Batrider accordingly.

Edit: Actually, I think the cast times are a lot shorter in HoN too. Whatever. I think DotA is slower but definitely not unresponsive: it's just your perception.

yes and when i played wc3 dota and sc1 before latency changers were around i thought they were also perfectly responsive except all i did was get used to it. I find it funny people say hon heroes have no turning speed or cast time, when you can actually open up the hero entry files and look at the code to see there is delay small delays but it's all there.

What do you guys believe are the "intermediate" level skills hon players who are looking to improve should learn? Skills other than last hitting and learning the heroes?
