Dota: I love dota system, everything is open. Shame the aesthetic is terrible and it's all about that archaic Wc3 Engine mechanics. Honestly if I had a group of friends actively playing DOTA2 I'd play that in my free time. Hero's: Crappy grind system, Crappy hero pack, and it's not very well optimized but more then willing to ask you for money. I shouldn't have the game freezing up, and then being asked to pay cash in a grind that makes even the most mean spirited view of League's look tame in comparison. At least all the heroes are iconic and really neat. Like they should just be selling Dota and league concepts of hero's. | ||

Oh I have a decent number of paper ones as well, but I'm even less likely to get into constructed on paper because I have no one to play with/start going to events/fnm with. Not about to start attempting to make new friends there by myself. | ||

Admittedly last time I checked the starter packs they had some good basic champs and RP so who knows maybe it's not as bad as I think in that respect. Considering when I started I was more or less just having fun and getting champions I wanted to play not so much "omg collect dem all" Dota: I love dota system, everything is open.

Lol parnage I'm still mad at you for the dune thing but this evaluation of mobas is funny. | ||

I realize I may not be an amazing example as I'm very slowly slipping down the rabbit hole but at least if my addiction gets worse it can be a 'do as I say not as I do' kinda thing. And soniv you said you never got into MTGO constructed... Do you own the game? yeah, I have MTGO downloaded, but I haven't kept up with anything at all lately - last I played standard constructed was first Theros block, and I did one draft in block 2 | ||

Which I find is done best when I don't have to worry about grinding in-game currencies to play what I want. I can't hop on League and just play right now because I have no IP or RP and am missing like 70 champs. I own nothing on Smite or Heroes. I own everything on Dota2. Hell I can even play multiple heroes in one game(ARDM) or heroes that don't really exist(AD). | ||

Also, I'm surprised the number of champs you're missing is so high considering how you've been around TL LoL longer than almost anyone else. | ||

I feel like Blizzard had to tune down some of the iconic abilities to make them more "fun-sized" and that hurts the iconic-ness of it a lot to me. Why does Diablo not have Bone Prison (which to me is FAR AND AWAY his most iconic ability across D2 and D3)? Why does Illidan not become ranged when he Metamorphoses? Why is Jaina's summon Water Elemental an ultimate ability? If you're going to give me iconic characters from Starcraft and Warcraft, they should be as absurdly powerful as a remember them being, not neutered beyond recognition because you think people will find it anti-fun. | ||

Means I'm only short 4k or so from owning every champ again. Almost makes me want to start grinding bot games again. Almost. | ||

Hell I can even play multiple heroes in one game(ARDM) or heroes that don't really exist(AD). This is how it goes with everyone I play with in terms of evaluating what to play in Heroes, in equal measure pretty much: -Does it meet a daily requirement? -Do I like to play this hero -Does it make sense with what someone else picked I've never felt, man if only I had this other hero unlocked... and if I did I can buy any hero I want in the game right now and I play on average 1 Heroes game a day. | ||

I mean, both are in both games, so at that point I guess it's a matter of opinion. | ||
