You always hear stories about someone getting their dad, friend, girlfriend, etc. into spectating professional Starcraft, but you don't hear shit like that when it comes to DotA. It's always "what the fuck is going on, these guys carry items? what do the items do, i have no clue what's going on. help me." | ||

I don't play HoN at a high level but i can understand the majority of HoNCasts. it's watchable for a non-player. and the good SC2 casters can make me pay attention to the first 3 minutes of every SC2 match. | ||

Hope this game can prove me wrong... like the guy above you said, you sort of have to understand DotA characters and items to enjoy watching it. but like i said, a good commentator can make any game watchable for a non-player. I hope you enjoy it! | ||

It was much more spectator friendly in the earlier versions, especially during the 6.48b era which was the most action intensive one, the latest ones have been a tad bit too boring because the correct way to play the game requires a lot of farming and positional play, I'm not sure about the current one though because I stopped playing/watching it when I started to play sc2 and I think its much harder for the casual spectator to understand and ergo enjoy these moba type games than sc2. | ||
