This noob shall play both, but mostly DotA 2

I was slightly surprised that DotA 2 had such a high prize pool for a beta tourney.

Valve marketing really. Entice people to switch from hon and lol and attract people who have never played a moba once they realize there is some potentially big money in dota2.

Unfortunately unless valve keeps supporting the prize pool it will diminish. Starcraft2 is completely self reliant and has a huge fan base yet has never gotten close to 1mil for a single tournament.

Keep in mind though, DotA 2 is in pretty early stages of its beta. Lol does have its unique qualities that make it enjoyable but I will wait until DotA 2 is actually released to compare the two. Can we all agree that HoN turned to **** 4-5 months ago tho? b:chuckle

@Qui: I never played with Aya lol. He was on EU servers and I'm on US. Lag is too much of a ***** for me to bother switching lol. I think Aya's playing single player RPGs these days like DA and Mass Effect...

isnt it same champions and same map. Same mode. I got bored watching the stream.. but it just looked the same with better graphics.

Graphics are overrated to me.. a good game can be a yellow ball getting chase by other balls. PAC MAN! b:cute

Alright guys, obviously the way to determine the best PvP'ers cross server is have them whale on a mob and see who can kill it the fastest.

Well, LoL has like 2 maps as well. The fewer the maps the better imo. It's not like players frequently end up playing anything other than the standard 5v5.

Now, as much as I do enjoy the heroes in LoL, It is nice to finally see DotA heroes in play again. Although most of them are the same there are a few new ones. (AA for example) Also, I really did enjoy the heroes from DotA the most. It's too bad they won't be porting Techies tho b:surrender

And let's face it, DotA has the most skilled player base out of the three games. But again, I'm gonna wait until after the game comes out to give it a fair judgement.

Dota 2 looks like garbage. Graphics suck, gameplay is unsmooth and stiff and so not fluid. It's the exact same thing as Dota, only with better (and yet ****ed up) graphics. The gameplay is much, MUCH slower than HoN and it's more farm-based, which is horribly boring.

I know it's only beta, but the graphics won't change for sure, only thing they can do is make it smoother. The animations are really weird in the sense that they seem oddly slow or something, whenever I watched the streams I just couldn't help but feel like the game was stiff.

HoN was a great ****ing game. Very gank oriented, lots of action, good strategy, decent balance and nothing gimmicky like LoL has. But S2 ****ed it up completely by introducing flashy heroes that just look good and are ridiculously overpowered (hello Rhapsody, spellvamp is so LoL-like, and hello Master of Arms, the most op hero ever). S2 is also making the game more and more easymode, so much so that it's pathetic (automatic courier for each team? xD).

I was hoping Dota 2 would be the redemption of this and would be a good game but I'm not holding my breath now. Still gotta wait to actually play it, but I don't have a good feeling.

The only nice thing I saw in DotA 2 is the picking phase interface and system (alternating between bans and picks several times).

I completely disagree with you on graphics part. Sure, it LOOKS different than HoN because of the different animation style. You may not like the art style but the fact is, the graphics themselves are much more advanced than HoN's especially if you pay attention to all the small details put into them. Not to mention the havok engine used in DotA 2 trumps HoN's by a mile.

As for gameplay being "MUCH" slower... how many matches did you actually watch?

Just to clarify though, I'm not saying HoN was always complete ****. It WAS a good game like you said, but in the past few months that game has gone beyond saving.

PWI basically set you guys up to fail with the way they mismanaged the preliminary tournament. The thing I keep wondering about though is, it seemed like the other teams figured out sooner that assassins were pointless and archers were gold. Why?

Other teams in PWI might've figured this out, but they lost the PvE portion. I'm not saying Sanct would've done better than LC, but Sanct's winning team had 2 archers, 2 clerics, BM and barb. One of their team members had the foresight to specifically point out that sin would be garbage during the 6v6 fight when we were talking about their team makeup.

The Harpy fight was indeed PWI setting them up to fail.

2EA 2EP 1BM 1Barb sounds scary to me. I would surrender if I have to face them.b:surrender

I was actually thinking something like this as well. Except maybe mage or Psy instead of 2nd EA. I said this on another thread I think. With the gear they gave us Barb Armageddon was probably the most dangerous attack with everyone having the same attack lvl and such. Wish we woulda brought an EA would have went better b:sad

Funny that you mention this I said this exact same thing in vent right after we lost that if we had had a team build like Sanctuary's we would have done so much better. Only problem is this build was not good enough for the PvE portion.. hope they do things the right way next tournament. The sin's not really garbage unless they make it non APS like they did for PWIC server.. our sin killed 5 out of the 6 members of Instinct's team with APS (only 2.86 non sparked though and he is sage)
