clearly we should form the ultimate multinational pan-pacific hots team. what time do you guys play? I usually play between 03:00 GMT (+00:00) and 09:00 GMT (+00:00) during the week, or about 12 hours rotated from that during the weekend.

we don't play that often really.

If you organize a time for this weekend I can play.

hmm, compatible with australia, UK, and US, eh? I'd guess it would have to be right after I woke up then, so it would be night time in australia and afternoon in UK. How does Saturday, Nov 01 4:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) sound?

Game is boring and you guys are boring.
I'd play league but riot has decided to fuck me in the ass for a while.

you can't think of hots as an equivalent of dota, because it's not. it's more closely related to a game like bloodline champions. as cad appropriately notes, it's stripped out a ton of the basic features of dota.

Except blc was an arena game, similar to WoW arena matches. Each game lasted 2 min, not 20 and there are no objectives other than 'kill people.'

Hots is way more comparable to Dota than that.

I got mine a week or two ago so I'm still going through the annoying, "play this champ a couple times to unlock his abilities" phase. -_-

yeah, I guess, but DotA has a lot of things like positional lane control, and games can go much longer. Also, it seems like the progressive nature and customizable skill orders and item builds really make dota a lot more like... a competitive real time team rpg almost. There are so many more options, and so much less teamfighting. All the map-based goals like garden terrors and cannonballs and stuff make hots kinda... more aggressive and teamfighty, I guess? It's obviously different than blc, but that feeling of more fighting, less laning, reminds me of blc.

There's more fighting in Dota than lol as well technically, based in what average scores look like over a game.

The thing about Hots that makes it different as well is from what I saw there is like zero benefit to laning at all.

There are so many comments I want to make here but to make WoS feel more comfortable I will ignore.
