the game is balanced around the "delays" of champions though
not to mention hon has roughly the same delays, just watch the comparison videos
Just reposting I said in a reddit thread.
"DotA 2's turn/attack animations are across-the-board, meaning every hero feels slow. HoN has slow heroes (eg. pebbles), and fast heroes (eg. Valkyrie). To say they "are almost non existent" is completely wrong, they are just implemented differently (and in my opinion, HoN does it better, who wants in-built delay?)."
