Why does every thread that mentions LoL NEED to turn into a LoL vs HoN vs Dota2 thread? Seriously, cut it out.

it should be pretty obvious that lol's playerbase won't suffer much from dota 2. most of it's players have never played dota so why should they even care about it and especially cos dota 2 is likely not free-to-play. the game that will suffer is HoN.

Heaven forbid two games in the same genre be both popular and successful?

People still drink both Coke and Pepsi.

Competition requires the games to be innovative and constantly evolving. Riot knows this due to their free-to-play model and Valve can see that if TF2 wasn't updated so much it'd have died long ago.

All this will do is make both games better and fuel more money into e-sports being something serious. I look forward to the day where e-sport athletes incomes rivals that of other athletes. For certain sports I'm sure it already does

Why not?

Wait. Are you seriously saying that Valve is not going to be able to Outdo riot because they lack funding compared to Riot/don't have as much "spare money" to throw around?

people have mentioned it before, but it bears repeating.

they should hurry up and implement spectator mode, a replay system and a pause function if they want their game to be taken seriously as a competitive game.

Yeah man, I hope I'm wrong obviously, but ive never seen valve support their esport games past release.

i played my first game of LoL yesterday and was quite unimpressed =/ However I cant speak for what their competitive scene is like but with so many escape mechanisms, no ability to deny, and towers doing a million damage, seems like the game would be even more of a farmfest than HoN atm, and thats a bad thing. Game doesnt get me excited while playing it, but grats to those who enjoy it quite the prize pool up for grabs :D

HoN is a farmfest at the moment? What?

That's because LOL is streamlined to be fast paced. Think of it as the COD of MOBA games.
I always try to give a sensitive, reasoned answer. This is usually awkward, time consuming and pointless.

I don't think you've played Dota or HoN if you think LoL is fast paced. If you look at high level play that is..
Its far too easy to prevent ganks with CVs,wriggles,etc. And yes it is a farmfest unless there is a huge difference in skill between the teams or a lvl 1 fight goes horribly wrong.

Yeah Idk where your getting LoL= fast paced, towers hit really hard, so it's easy to just get into free farm mode. The game has no gold death loss, etc... I really wish they didn't take out deny, since you spend so much time in lane farming with most heroes, would give me something else to do.

Fast paced? Why do people that have no clue of the current state of any games competitive state feel the need to make comments like this.

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.

True for competitive games but it's the fastest-paced casually imo. You rarely get the 2-3 kill/min games in HoN or DotA from my exp, in LoL it's like that every other game

Don't forget Trolololol Flash, that every competitive player and their grandmother runs because it's obviously the best fucking summoner spell in the game. If you don't play like an absolute imbecile and try not to overextend while Flash is down then you should pretty much be able to never die in lane.

If Dota 2 is a better game it will outdo LoL. And I can clearly see that happening.
