lol OgreMagi is strong dude (yeah I mean the HoN equivalence) wtf are you talking about. He makes up for his "melee-ness" by having relatively large str/str gain for a int hero. Do you play dota?

I feel like the camera is to close. It's like the game wanna push your face down into all the shiny effects, especially with the sligghtly increased pace of the game the camera feels too close. Its not like i want to zoom out till is see a whole lane in one screen, but compared to dota i cant help myself it just doesnt feel right :/

I love when people complain about the "useless" spell descriptions and then the same people complain about the "blurry" and "small" icons. First, the icons appear at the character selection window in a normal size like 3x3 cm. Second, if you are not interested in the spell's background then who cares that it has a small icon in the actual game? I'm sure the majority of the players who play this game are experienced or at least not the lamest Dota players. Then you should know when you play an intense game you don't care what the friggin' Zeus ulti icon looks like, you just press it an instant. I have played Dota since 5.48 but the recent 6.2x versions really made me quit the game. But this game is different yet it's nearly the same, and it has brought me back. The interface is a bit weird if you play for the first time but it's easy to get used to it. I really like the small details like if you have a proc ability like "every 5th hit you gain xxx" then you can see how much hit does it take to reach the 5th hit. The creeps being small, yeah if you play at max distance, if you don't like it, zoom in. If you are a hardcore Dota fan and notorious Dota lookalike mod/game hater then this game is not for you, if you love Dota but a little bit tired of the graphics and repetativeness and looking forward to try something very similar however vastly different, then this game is for you. And don't forget, it's still in beta, it's far from the actual RC version.

I think it's just his attack animations are improved a lot compared to Dota. He wasn't that good of a hero in Dota, except when you needed to own some pubbie scrubs.

Just because you can get used to something doesn't mean it's good or there's nothing wrong with it. If that simple fact eludes you, stop posting.
HoN has tons of irrelevant clutter (someone said it's designed for competitive play - roflskates, they couldn't be more wrong, there's no such thing as designed for competitive. If it's good - it's good.) and the most important elements that could actually be used by competitive players are small or misrepresented.

Nothing in life is going to be perfect. Get used to it.

Or just leave.

Completely irrelevant. Try reading next time.

So...apparently I'm alone in this thread in that I actually play DotA to compete?

To get a glimpse of my perspective on this thread, imagine someone remade Brood War with nice pretty graphics (or at least newer ones), and put about 1/20th the thought into balance that Blizzard did. Suddenly dragoons are spellcasters and deal forty damage per shot (and cost the same amount), vultures cost 150 minerals, and you can't stack mutas, but you can stack zerglings...yet the interface tells you unit size and damage type/rate, and multiple building selection and infinitely large unit groups have been added, and the ridiculous lag problems associated with a game being written for dialup have finally been fixed...

But the game sucks, because starcraft's main virtue is its balance. Yes, this is a beta. Yes, it will (probably) become more balanced. But DotA has years of development and an active competitive community to its name, and giving that up for shiny new "2009" graphics feels like giving up Brood War for Dawn of War. Yeah, it's fun to play for a day or two. Maybe even a week. But you aren't going to see a Dawn of War league with a $40,000 prize any time soon.

I played dota for a long time at DCE, weird times there, but it was massive fun!
Never put TOOO much time in dota, so I saw some mates getting into MyM and so on and I stopped playing dota because I had to do loads more for school

Anyway, I would like to play this game every once in a while, because you can just play one game and then do other stuff, its not like WoW where you 'need' to play like a whole night to get something, so if anyone has a key left I would like it if you can PM it to me or tell me how to get one, because it seems that everywhere the keys are already handed out!

Cheers
