i hope to god it will be at least everything expected

if dota2 isn't at least better than dota and HoN i will quit gaming

cba with anything except maybe dota2 if its good

news flash, it won't live up to the hype

probably not but it's nearly impossible to be worse than hon

I would have to disagree there. The mechanics in HoN are the smoothest out of all mobas I have seen (and even most RTS I've played), so I would hope that DotA 2 tries to get something like that going.

While the heroes may not be the best in design, I would say the biggest aspect of concern for me is the business model.

DotA 2 may, and probably will, have better heroes and balance, but who knows the capacity at which Valve will be involved; Valve is an extremely shitty company when it comes to business implementation, imo, (E.g. TF2) and if DotA 2 is anything like that, I would never play it.

I, personally, would much rather have less balance and semi-decent heroes vs advertising all over my game and shitty out-of-game metagame aspects.

Just my 2 cents, though.

e: The pathing in HoN does suck major balls, though.

This is my prediction.

HoN will be wiped out by DotA2.

LoL will still be on top because of genius business model.


So basically to sum up what I just said,

DotA2 will flop just as hard as HoN because it's not free.

how do you know dota 2 won't be free to play?

you're easily one of the dumbest posters on this sub forum

ill pay 100$ for dota but never 1$ for lol i dont care if it free to play or not hon is 30$ and that remove interest in people playing it going toward lol instead so dumb

so you're gunna pay $100 for a game with initially more problems then hon.

everyone seems to have this idea that valve is a 100% perfect company and will not have any problems what so ever.
