    League of Legends takes the crown.
    Only because it's way more accesible and fun even for completely new MOBA gamers.
    Dota 2 will most likely pull the HoN crowd towards it, being more elitist and competitive game. However the pace new heroes/patches come to LoL and considering the new game mode that might revolutionize MOBA, I don't except to see/hear much from Valve's version :J

    Oh yeah, LoL has always loads of gamers, even during low hours. I'd like to see a B2P game do that :>

    The amount of SEA players that play DotA vastly dwarf the amount of players that play League of Legends by a country mile.


    Competitive LoL is obscenely boring; it's a huge farm fest due to a few dumb mechanics.

    I won't teach people, I'll play Meepo as often as I can pick him and squee. I mean it, I could play 1000/1000 games as Meepo. And I'll laugh at the noobs while calling the better players tryhards.

    inviting the biggest names in dota to compete for a 1 million dollar prize.
    that's the biggest prize ever for a MOBA game.
    if that doesn't do it, i don't know what will.

    i'm pretty sure the competitive scene of dota will move to dota 2.
    dota competitive scene was held back by the fact that the map is just a custom map.
    blizzard couldn't really support it for tournaments.

    with valve supporting dota 2, the competitive scene, most likely, would be the biggest out of all the MOBA games.

    At least as good? the gameplay mechanics are exactly the same

    And in all honesty I believe Valve will be able to make it better than HoN

I don't even understand how anyone can take Pendragon seriously when he's the one leaving for Riot and chooses to bash Icefrog's credibility just as when he's leaving.
    To be more precise, Icefrog was not the one that shaped it into what it was, it was the community who gave him bug reports and balance suggestions, which he actually took into account.

    Though he really is a douche, telling people he wasn't working on HoN when he really was.

    Just read this and you'll understand

    Though Valve more than makes up for Icefrog's involvement on the project for me

    don't really care whether the guy is a douche or not as long as he has a great sense of balance.
    that's all that matters.

    unlike morello who doesn't really know what the word 'balance' means.

    Again, it's not him, it was the community doing the majority of the testing/balancing work.

    Still better than Morello because :

    1.) He listens to the community
    2.) Does the change
    3.) Doesn't nerf/buff shit randomly

    I'm surprised they kept Lina Inverse. I wonder if they aren't afraid of Copyright Infringement. Then again... it's REALLY old.

    Copyright infringement on what? It's just some fire chick, or is there something with the name?

    Correct.

    And her signature move in the animu was also called Giga Slave.

    Just looked it up and it is indeed. But from what it looks like from the in-game shots they are using the titles as opposed to their names. So she will probably be called Slayer or whatever it was.

    Eh, I'm just glad they kept Dwarf Sniper in, he's one of the only heroes from DoTA I knew how to play, course knowing valve they'll either keep him the same or nerf him. ~u~

    he was never OP ^^, all heroes in DotA (imho after 4 years of playing) are pretty balanced, just depending on ur skills and role for the team for that 1 game.

    a support can be a carrier
    tank can be as well
    while the carrier heroes fail= (player)

    Well he's not OP as in easy or anything I just always found it funny how late game he can eat towers with his range.

    Probably has to do with the Archer chick looking a lot like Ashe from League of Legends and having a similar art style.

    Drow ranger always looked like that. Well i can agree on the art style, but its way smoother than LoL.

    He wasn't directly comparing them, all he said was the trailer looks like something League of Legends would do.

    One of few things I don't like about Dota, and by extension HoN+Dota2, is the whole super carry thing they got going on. Basically put all attention on getting your carry farmed and just support him. Whilst mages who do great damage early-mid game they fade out towards endgame because they have no scaling and basically becomes support for the carry.

    That is one of my main gripes with those games, also BKB/Shrunken head, such a stupid item
