I think like 5 people want stats, 2 people don't, and 10 don't care. Kind of hard to please everyone.

All we need are 10!

 

[Guesong]

I'd like stats, but I hardly believe they'd solve any of the current "problems" we might have.

It's not like there was that many players participating relatively frequently in in-houses. If we can memorize like 60 heroes, surely we can each associate a skill level with a player with relative ease.

Cause elsewise, I might win a game when I know I was absolutely useless just because I was paired with azuki and procarbine, who steamrolled the other team in that game. (It happened once ; I was helpless with Hag!) Yet my ranking would go up? Meh.

Other times I might do good Spider Mines placement but still lose the game due to other factors, albeit I would have played a much more solid game than with Hag. So my ranking would go down? Eh.

There's no easy way out.

Man, the metagame is shifting fast. It seems like the game is now basically a push/jungle metagame.

Ezalor being viable makes me happy.

Oh wait Ezalor doesn't summon the light spheres anymore.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

Steam dies during every big sale. They'll need a lot more servers to handle people downloading DotA2.

Am I still in a HoN thread?

 

[Hylian7]

I gave this game a try tonight. I've occasionally played LoL and am okay at it. I really sucked at my first game of HoN. My biggest issue with it was that the trees and ground look too similar. In LoL, I can look at any screenshot and (without looking at the minimap) tell where it is on the map. I was also surprised by the amount of attacks that stun in this game. That was definitely something I wasn't expecting.

I did like that it was faster than LoL though, and it ran better on my computer than LoL did for some strange reason. I was playing as Accursed if anyone wanted to know.

Also, I really suck at knowing what items to get. It always seems so overwhelming to go through and look at each item, just because it wastes so much time. Is there really any way to quickly learn what items you need in these types of games?

I think I might play both like most of you, the games are still different enough...

I can still see myself playing HoN when DotA 2 arrives. I like some of s2's hero and their hilarious VAs.

I agree. I also love DOTA 2's art.

Add another to the list

 

[Anbokr]

I wasn't too impressed with the DOTA 2 graphics to be honest, I like HoN's style more. It's probably because I'm used to HoN more and HoN just looks more reminiscent of warcraft 3 to me (which I was also used to going into HoN). It's going to take some major eye adjusting for me.

 

[Meeru]

Dota 2 has a very smooth, pixar like art style that is somewhat similiar to tf2. Interestingly, I think HoN's animations are better, has more umph if you know what I mean.

 

[Ikuu]

I think Dota2 just looks so much better, hard to comment on the impact of the animations without playing the game, but there's so many little touches that are very impressive. Game looks like they could release it tomorrow, going to be awesome to watch how they improve it for release.

They also need to steal the HoN spectator mode.

 

[IceMarker]

I think HoN has a "tighter" graphic style, while I do like the clean cartoonish style of DotA 2, it won't be enough to keep me from

Spoiler

playing both games anyways.

 

[Archie]

HoN looks like an uprezzed War3.
Dota 2 look like a TF2/DotA lovechild.

I prefer Dota 2.

My only gripe right now is its animation, kind of really surprised how its not up to standards coming from Valve. Hopefully they have it down by release.

That's if you get into the Dota 2 beta.

Dota 2 will fix it.
