LoL sucks really bad compared to dota
Don't play DoTa.. never really liked that game.. I do from time to time still play custom games on battlenet.. And recently actualy became a chieftain on a tree tag clan ♦
For HoN never played that either. I might try it some day.
HoN is literally created with intention to completely sortof remake dota without blizzard owning rights or w/e... dota is pure bitches

hey how're the disconnects coming?
fuck the wc3 engine.
yeah ok disconnecting is the one issue it has up on dota, but i dont play much pubs where it actually matters, save/reload is good enough
well , the disconection doesnt rly matter if you play cw , since you save every kill made or tower down , so it's ok. and as i said , a chineese dude is working to make the same disconection thing for wc3 as its in HON. So i hope he makes it:)
DotA 2 announced. google is your friend.
I recently started playing DotA again since I missed some heroes that haven't been ported to HoN, like phantom lancer and windrunner.
as for dealing with disconnects, just join a playdota.eu game lobby. since the game is hosted by a bot, you wont be dealing with disconnects
im getting 18ms ping on the servers which is awesome.
im playin there. screw official BNET
No contest between DoTA and HoN. HoN clearly wins.. the stand-alone engine was always gonna be better than hijacking the WC3 one.
Fav hero Witch Slayer coz I'm a filthy KSer
valve is developing dota right now : )
so HoN/LoL will be dead pretty soon. valve's game will surely be epic and welcomed by the valve community and the former dota/hon/lol communities. i expect real challenges in the new game which valve will make.
RAMPAGE!!!!
Hey friend that's some long time you have played DOTA,i believe you are well developed player hehe
I myself play DOTA for over 6 years now,with breaks now and then,my favorite hero,hmmm Akasha and POTM
I have played in a very good clan called Insomnia,i doubt you heard of it , we were 3rd in one bigger tournament called EEDC were 1st was RushED and 2nd IGG
btw you should try playing on Garena instead of bnet
GL & HF at the tables
And yes Valve making DOTA 2 is sooooo Epic
Used to play both Dota and Hon but school and social interactions came in the way.
Fav. Hero in Dota: Meepo(grinded like a god)
-Favorite hero? Sandking for sure , PotM, which is sometimes a gamble cause you may have good days when u hit arrows and play good and days when you play her like a donk if you will , tiny, basically every hero that can gank and be useful to the team , without having to farm all game and then come to end it.I like some carry heroes but its just not my playstyle.
-Favorite Clan? Liked Ks.int back in the day, also long time acolo when coL had a team, they were pretty good and verGe.But that was in the old dota.Now I guess since people switch team so much , you dont know who to root for, especially in the European/NA scene.
-Where you ever part of any serious clan? / Are you any good ?
Yea, I played in Dimension 4 Gaming ( French Clan ) for sometime,could've gonna a lot higher in terms of skill but after sometime of grinding strategies and practicing too much , I didnt feel like playing anymore, so I quit.
Pretty sad that my dream at that time was to get into a proffesional team, and after things got better and better, my love for the game fell short.
Atm, I only play on dota-league for fun , when im not playing Poker, Starcraft II or Killing Floor.
-How long have you been playing for?
Dunno but I would imagine for a long time, since I saw the birth of professional dota and stuff.Had a lot of breaks tho, cause like a lot of games it gets boring if you play it too much.
And about the HoN and LoL debate.I think they both have they're pros and cons.But they , in my opinion , dont look proffesional enough.I mean I'm not nit-picking but LoL looks like its made for people under the age of 12.And maybe its just me but I dont like my games looking like that.No offense to people who like it, its jusy my opinion and why I dont play the game myself.
HoN, being less popular in than LoL might get buried after Dota 2 comes out.
Lets see how Dota 2 fairs , I would imagine it will look good, since its on the source engine.I hope it does awesome since the game needs new engine and new look for sometime now.
On the internet i do 2 things : Play Poker and Play DoTA ( Defence of The Ancients )
So i wana ask : Who of y'all plays dota?
If your answer is yes then some follow-up questions :
-Favorite hero? ( Mine is POTM/Valkirie )
-Favorite Clan? ( DMZ here - played with them for a short period of time , was never part of the clan tho )
-Where you ever part of any serious clan? / Are you any good ?
( i am currently in no clan ; but ranked 1st in 6 1v1 and 2v2 competitions - DoTA )
-How long have you been playing for? ( me abou 8 years )
I played HoN for maybe 6 months, with some WoW friends who moved to it after WoW went down the tubes.
-Favorite Hero - Voodoo Jester for a good, non-item-dependent support. I nearly always ended up support, because it seems everyone in HoN is only interested in their own KDR.
-Favorite Clan - N/A
-Any good? - not really. I support random queued my way to 16xx.
-How long - played 6 months before deleting the game.
I found HON frustrating for few couple of reasons. Firstly the game is very twitch - more so even than the RTS games that spawned it - and I'm getting past prime gaming age so my reflexes aren't massively great. 100 APM is fine for SC2, but a split second delay in HoN is game over.
Secondly the player base is complete and utter shyte. I don't know if it is just HON or all games of that nature, but 4 out of 5 players I met are anti social abusive wankers, while the 5th is probably as well but too illiterate to fully make his point known. Even the guys I played with from WoW - otherwise fairly decent people - turned into twats in HoN. I guess it just brings out the butt-hurt blame train driver in people.
Thirdly, the HoN developers for whatever reason thought that it would be a good idea to add a new, absurdly overpowered hero every week rather than balancing existing flaws. Some heros are herp-a-derp easy to play (e.g. Rampage) while others can border on completely useless (post-nerf Nymphora), but the developer's focus is on designing new content.
If someone asked me to recommend if they should give this game a go or not, I would say hell no.
8 years till now,got 7 years old account on Garena ♦ yea i am freak...
Never been in some clan or something like that,i play only public europe HLR's and i don't have favorite hero.
Yesterday played with techie and finished first with score 14-3. Finished the game beyond godlike with 3 suicides ♦
