    i've played mobas for a long time.

    All i can say is that it's an acquired taste. Most asians like Mobas because they're micro intensive, positioning matters and the really small tricks like animation canceling are so absolutely rewarding. Also it requires a LOT of quick thinking and precise mouse movement.

    Typical example is playing ashe end game: I can carry the team 18-0 but the character herself is still squishy. if i'm going to win teamfights when the team compositions are solid, i HAVE to position myself where THEIR assassins can't get to me. And to do that, i need my team to fulfill their roles as buffers as well.

    Therefore, the sort of 5 person cohesion that comes with moba games is half the reward. MOBAS are all VERY intense and quick on your feet thinking, rather than something like WoW pvp or Guild wars.

    You only have 4 skills. how you choose and when you choose to use them are Key- it's not like MMO's where you have many skills to choose from. Every hero fills a precise role in the game.

    Picking who you play is half the fun.


    Also, if your into RTS, you WON"T be into moba style games- they play very differently. Rather than mindless SHOOT THE TARGET type gameplay, you have to be aware of your minimap and the opponents positioning at all times.


    That being said, Lineage 2 was much more fun PVP wise than LoL ever will be.

    However, L2 PVP was large scale seige with assists and target switches and overall just a ****ton of fun.

    LoL is probably one of the better mobas- better than hon, but not NEARLY as good as dota is.

    atleast, back when they had blink dagger.

    What possible counter-argument can we even present when you just plainly bash games which you have no knowledge about? There are no arguments. Just you trolling.

    O.o.... Wow really? If u dont like it dont play it simple as that lol. Everyone has their own cup of tea lol.

    Simple = Seller. people have other shiet to do then master a complicated game. LoL is fun an easy to play, yet difficult an rewarding to master.

    Take it or leave it, its everyones personal choice. To have 9 pages of flame is just rediculous. lol.

Really, really, really really realllly dont see why people make such a big deal over this game.
    I can bet you are noob on that game, and this game isn't for u, just go play hack'n'slash games

    If you can't handle it then I suggest you don't touch any MOBAs in the future, because honestly, all these problems exist mainly at your level/ELO.

    Playing 7 matches in 2 hours = you're doing it all wrong.

    Matches are supposed to last around 40-50 minutes each.
    Even 30 minutes is a very quick match.

    Thats impossible
    7 matches=7*20 mins=140 mins
    which is more than 2 hours

    I played LoL for almost a year and I got pretty decent at the game (1800 ELO). I quit playing about a month ago because of the large amount of trolls/leavers/feeders I'd always get on my team. I don't like having to rely so much on random baddies. The only reason I didn't quit earlier is because I had a good friend that played the game and he would queue with me.

    I really should try HON. I've never had anything against the game except that I hear that it's full of unfriendly/unhelpful players, buuuut since that has changed, I'll give it a whirl.

    You must not play in the Non-Ranked games . Leavers within the first 2 mins or less.

    Only issue I have with HoN is the messy as hell interface. Like what is with all the uneeded text n shiet. No one cares about the back story of items n shiet. I just wana buy an Item an go on about my day lmfao xD.

    HoN is good n all but, at low ratting, n shiet, it gets stupid difficult to even get one match in . An lack of match making hurts it as well.

    yeah in LoL there are no item abilites ... there are no 2 additional summoner skills ... HoN has it all ... HoN is superior (because you play it) ... no comment /sarcasm_off

    dude if you don't like LoL and obviously you're HoN fan ... why you even bother replying on this thread ... the point of whole thread is that, author doesn't like the whole concept of MOBA genre ...
    showing that you're HoN fan ... and obviously in a mood to type (i will allow myself to say) lies ... won't help anyone ... you're just popping up the rage

    2. last hit on minions - i cant say for the OP but this is one part of the game where some players might not like. last hit = gold.
    omg you can stop auto attack?? and here i was constantly clicking all over my screen to stop my champion for attacking everything so that i can do the 2nd thing on your list.

    you know, i used to think the same thing abt LoL when i first started playing, especially the bit abt the community. But then i started playing with a whole bunch of my friends and then things got fun. eventually, i got alot better, through a whole lot of practice.

    like some of you mentioned before, this game is easy to play, but hard to master. and when i say easy to play, i mean easy relative to other MOBAs. so if you suck at MOBAs, like me, then its gonna be effing hard to play. till you know, you get used to it.

    edit: i just read through the other posts and realised how futile my post is.

    There's a reason they redid a lot of the shop and interface things in HoN...it is very cluttered, and there is a LOT of useless information on it.

    You do realize that they only remade Goblin Shop interface and in-game shop? As a matter of fact the old in-game shop was much more convenient and actually took a lot less of your screen when used.

    Are you kidding? You dont even know me lol. Not just random ranting.

    I been playing HoN for about a year now. So no its not just random ranting it comes from actually playing the game throughly, thank you every much.

    I have yet to hear anything against it from you?

    But anyways, on topic once again:

    That is what people see in League of Legends, is a MOBA game easy to pick up learn an play, an as this guy mentioned "Good for you. Your lack of patience and laziness is admirable. To me it seems that once you don't understand something it instantly becomes complicated and useless."

    Thats the kind of market developers are starting to Aim for because the Hardcore gamers, are few an the casuals fund the company. Its all about business.

    It also feels like anyone can feel like they are part of the community.

    I like playing LoL because it's fun, however its community is something you scrape from the bottom of your shoe. That and the matchmaking. Oh dear lord...Was in a game with 5 people with 80 wins each and on the opposing team there was one player with 550 wins, one with 300 and the other 3 with 70 each.
