Rant : HoN vs. DoTA vs. LoL vs. DoTA pt.II
BLOCK-O-TEXT
First of all these games are fucking AOS or Aeon of Strife based on the ORIGINAL game type that originated in Starcraft & not some shitty Multiple Online Battle Arena or MOBA, why? Cause MOBA sounds like some stupid ass group that is against some retarded cause which no one but a few try to enforce, OH WAIT THATS WHAT IT ALREADY IS.
DOTA (Defense of the Ancients)
Like pac-man, tetris, mario world & others, the classic version will always stick around regardless of what some shitty ass company tries to rip-off of it. Why? It’s been proven & tested to be balanced to a certain degree, moreso then it’s followers. It has the originality and the benefit of the doubt of being original. Why would you play a game that gives you eye candy BUT copies & pastes everything its predecessors do? Is the eye candy worth $30? Are you not fucking content to playing the game without flashy icons going off & paying money for that or are you that thickminded & drawn into their stupid plan to take your money you mindless twit. DOTA for all it’s flaws, which at the moment is probably that it takes so long to release a new version unless a bug is found, and the limitations of WAR3 Generator, has been arguably a breakthrough game of it’s kind with literally 80% of the WAR3 playerbase playing DOTA over the regular games provided.
HoN (Heroes of Newerth)
There’s talk in the beta of DOTA to make Dark Seer’s wall called “Wall of Newerth” and to make the description “Copies and pastes everything that passes through it”. Why? It’s true. Don’t even fucking try to defend it. Every minuscule change that DOTA has done, HoN has followed suit. So much for cutting edge & new & improved content eh? I will admit they have introduced a few things that DOTA has yet to tread on, but they have done so WITHOUT looking at the balance issues, why the fuck do you call it an “orb effect” when all of the orb effects can work on ONE hero you dolts? A hero comes out and everyone picks it, there’s a reason in HoN for why that hero utterly rapes, HELLOOOO BALANCE. I mean do they just throw shit out there & expect it to be balanced without thoroughly thinking things through? BTW how’s that for alliteration. There’s no reason for a new hero to go 30-0 on a pub who has a KDR of 0.43 & a W:L ratio of 0.539%. That’s just fucking dumb, and it’s not that the other team is retarded, it’s just that the hero is retardedly overpowered. So until HoN shows some balance, and some ACTUAL beta testing for balance, and show some originality instead of being the copy/paste king it will always be overriden by DOTA except for kids who think they are on the “new & exciting cutting-edge gaming” bandwagon.
LoL (League of Legends)
The cute & “rpg” style of DOTA, whatever the fuck that means. Made by riot games this release has been anything but a riot. Pretty much it sucks shit IMHO. It’s “cutsy” style of animation reminds me of the japanese depicting all of its anime with the >_<” and ^^ and all its fucking idiocy. I literally want to puke playing LoL not even joking. On top of that is the fact it’s balanced WORSE than HoN, that’s right folks. It’s like it has it’s own fucking Konami code of rape (up up down down left right left right a b a b for those of you who don’t know, and if you don’t then you aren’t a real gamer) where pretty much the same heroes are picked each game, and if you even THINK of picking any other hero you get shit on by your teammates and flamed to no end. Summary : except for a select few hundred who enjoy the japanime style of this game & the imbalances, NO ONE will pay for this game except for the suckers who want to try it & realize how much of a piece of shit it is.
DOTA Pt. II brought to you by Valve
So no upcoming name release, or really information but it has been brought to the gaming communities attention that Icefrog is to work with Valve to come up with a DOTA-like game. Without the limitations that Warcraft 3 have because of it’s editor on the game & backed by a well-known company with alternative games which are hits (Team Fortress 2, CS 1.6/CS:Source, L4D/L4D2 etc.) as opposed to S2/Riot Games the potential for it’s flourishment is unparalleled. What will happen? Time can only time
TL;DR — DOTA > HON > LoL

iFlee, I definitely see where you’re coming from. I had the exact same first impression of HoN. Why are all the hero and item names changed? It’s downright offensive to a Dota player, and seemingly pointless if they all do the exact same thing as in Dota. But I realize that they aren’t really “ripoffs”… I mean its not like S2 is like “hey, we suck at making games… lets just rip off Dota”. It’s more of a tribute if anything. I mean they literally ported tens of Dota heroes and every single item to the exact spec. If anything that’s a testament to the great balance of Dota. Once you start playing HoN more the faster play style, it never lags, you can reconnect when you drop, you can voice chat, all these things are really nice and of course the game itself has great gameplay and is super fun. Took me a while to warm up to it but of course now I love it…
As for league of legends, I haven’t tried this but YEAH, I mean holy shit everything looks ridiculously cartoony. Their advertisement is like some japanese anime chick skipping along through the grass. Seems like tried to turn Dota into Gunbound so really I don’t think I want to go there. But of course I hated HoN too before I gave it a chance so I probably shouldnt hate on LOL just yet either.. but the way it’s marketed I really WANT to
After playing HoN for a few months, DotA feels like a return to the stoneage.
I never knew how nice it was actually seeing more than 1200 aoe around your hero. In Hon, on 1900×1600, you can clearly see everything in big fights and not assume.
HoN has serious balance, issues, though. They’re too fucking busy adding in snowflakes to shit on low-end graphics cards than balance the game.
I think hon is far superior to lol, I haven’t played dota myself but HoN seems pretty balanced to me (except from a few heroes and eazy mode ofcourse, but em sucks anyway). If you look at competetive gaming in hon it seems pretty balanced… just needs a few changes.
If you haven’t played DOTA you can’t really compare HoN, the balance differentiation is so absurd it isn’t even funny, while I admit I enjoy playing HoN it still doesn’t hold a balance stick bearable to that style of game
Yo i’ve played both Dota and Hon, tho there are a few heroes in hon that seem overpowered but its only a beta, and hon is alot easier to start out then dota is. Dota is just old and * now just give up on it.
I never really played much Dota on war3 however you are not taking into consideration that HoN is only in Closed Beta Testing, Dota has been around for years. It’s pretty innvetiable for it to not be perfect. HoN has a very high level of expectation if it is to even match Dota in gameplay but going crazy about imbalances this soon is senseless. For the people that pay $30 USD at this stage are obviously not bothered by this fact. You mention new heroes like Forsaken archer im assuming with high % wins. Theres a good reasons everyone picked her when she first came out and why she won so often and thats because no ones played with her or against her, pretty hard to win against a hero you have absolutly no experience in playing against. there are so many forms of the game that it would be impossible to balance every hero in every gameplay or gamesize so im sure they will concerntrate on the most popular. For originalty sake who cares if you dont think they are worth a mere 30 dollars then it’s not your job to bag the shit out of them for everyone else that has not play Dota.
Dyslexic kid is dyslexic, did you not read the whole fucking article? or just the Kanye picture?
“So until HoN shows some balance, and some ACTUAL beta testing for balance, and show some originality instead of being the copy/paste king it will always be overriden by DOTA except for kids who think they are on the “new & exciting cutting-edge gaming” bandwagon.”
And your argument of “new hero no one knows how to counter”, I can flip it with “new hero no one knows how to play” so that point is pretty much voided by the sheer fact of ignorance. It’s still pretty much 6 heroes dominating every single AP match, I wonder why? People want to win so they pick the heroes that are RETARDEDLY OP, not just OP, retardedly OP.
iflee nice sand in vag recently
It’s basic common sense.
when a new hero comes out people think it’s OP because no one has had experience to counter that “type” of hero
Dota, and hon are the same
They require common sense to play good
skill to play better once you know how to play common sense things should work smoothly.
As far as Lol goes, Hon is superior graphics, game play, and everything else wise.
Lol is a bit ridiculous in my opinion but no doubt if you have fun playing it then go ahead
