EPTBut anyway, I'm not even going to comment on hero balance when they can't even realize that the creeps being different is massively retarded.

Even the WC3 Dota is better than LoL. If you don't have an extra $30 to spend on a game, then you're either 15 years old whose mommy won't let them use her credit card, or you don't deserve to live because you can't even make $30. LoL = casual cartoony crap Dota/HoN = for competitive game. Or a college student who is making barely enough to survive/ pay for classes/ pay for books. Don't be so quick to judge asshole, some people work just to stay just above broke. | ||

You're basically saying "HoN is better than LoL because HoN is good and LoL is bad." At least give some sensible reasoning as to why you consider one good and the other bad. | ||

It's not mentally and physically taxing every second like in SC2 and war3 and SC, however it takes skillful teamwork, communication, technique, timing. For some reason, playing DotA/LoL makes me rage a lot. If I'm in a shitty mood or losing streak, I don't even bother booting up the game because it's just going to make me more pissed off. On the other hand, if I lose in SC2, i'd just take a quick glimpse of the replay and queue up for another game like nothing happened. | ||

There is nothing more upseting then the thought of me losing an 1v1 in a strategy game . Dota / LOL is a team game and the better team wins. I can't do shit alone if our team is bad so i don't get angry . | ||

Anyways DotA right now is the most competitive game in the genre and is the biggest one too because of the Asian scene. The skill level in high level DotA is way higher than HoN/LoL for the same reason BW have way higher skill levels than SC2. And the clan scene is much more active, at least in Europe. You can find a CW against various skill levels very fast in DotA while in HoN most people play pubs and generally the skill level of players are really low since most good players still play DotA. Although I haven't played in a while so it might have changed. Also I agree so much with the above, playing 1on1 SC2 is extremely exhausting for me personally, both physically and mentally while DotA is very relaxing as long as you avoid Russian pubs  | ||

Have faith guys; if you played the original DOTA and AOS maps in warcraft 3, you know how bad it was back then. In terms of a starting point, we're starting much higher with SC2 (in terms of quality). | ||

also, @ Potatisodlaren: the microtransactions in LoL merely speed up the process at which you can acquire said buffs in the forms of runes and masteries. You cannot directly buy runes with money and neither can you directly buy levels for masteries. Anyone who even plays the game casually can not only hit max level within a few months playing but easily get a few heroes and at least one full runepage. | ||

Now NOTHING can spot the cloaked sniper and the vagabond's mines -_-; such a pain in the ass... the next patch of sotis is going to reintroduce observers for cloak detection, for now boundary scanners (range of 17 iirc) can be used to see mines/cloaked units; also, all hero units set off reaper mines (includes merc beacons for sure and mule scv shots i think?) | ||

And the latter is definitely not true. The only things you have to spend money on are skins for characters, which are purely cosmetic.

Every single thing in LoL excluding the custom champion skins (purely visual) can be acquired without paying anything. All heroes can be unlocked permanently just by playing, and runes and masteries can only be unlocked by playing, though real money can speed up the process. | ||

What items do people tend to go for ? I always start with the vernal inhibitor... for a while i started with a fast stabaliser but just found myself getting ganked too easily, the stabaliser is awesome if you can get away with it and are soloing a lane however, because you hardly need to leave the lane so can level up real fast... EDIT: whether the game is perfectly balanced or not is not an issue for me right now, it is too early to play competitively, so i just play it for fun :D also there you are pretty much garunteed a leaver or two in most games due to the way the popularity works with it and people not knowing what they are getting into... So it is just for fun with me .. and fun it is :D Give it a year or two and we will see how the sotis competitive scene goes hey? | ||
