google s2nome blog and he talks about the next gen moba

-small hero pool (50 max)
-heroes with more skills yet can't max every single one (example, 8 skills with 4 levels each, but you only get 16 skill points)
-d2 type inventory screen (to prevent new players from buying 2 boots), maybe a slot for orbs effects and wards
-reduce hard carries and ward bitch heroes by making every hero closer to the middle of those extremes

this is League of legends

The most common misconception when it comes to this issue is people think this is an intentional behavior. it's not. The "unstuck system" is actually a bug in the pathing code - a sheer coincidence that it works this way. It would be very easy for us to fix, the thing is that fix isn't necessarily a hands-down improvement (at that point we'd need to come up with a proper unstuck system). With stuff like tablet of command, devourer's hook, nymphora's teleport etc, it's important that we have some level of un-stuck to prevent abuse.

So why haven't we done anything? Well pure and simply, because fixing the bug might leave the game in a worse state than it is now, and taking the time to develop a proper unstuck system has, so far, not really been a priority. The only programmer we have who's familiar enough with the nav system to write that sort of thing is pretty busy with some higher priority tasks necessary to keep HoN running as we expand. I can't really reveal what those are, though.

I can say that it is on our "one day, some day" to-do list to write a proper unstuck feature.

i wish S2 posted their priority/needs fixing list

that, and a work log of what their top programmers do in a week's time

then maybe we could judge S2 a little bit better

it seems like 1-2 people do actual work (fielding, idejder), 3-4 do some work (lesser programmers, ktulu, mac patch guy, toolz), and the rest do work that barely requires a GED, oh and one guy counts the money (maliken)

i don't see them fixing pathing properly, EVER, this game is based on the K2 engine which was being worked on in 2007 (i've been told savage 2 had shit pathing)

they haven't fixed the pathing in 4 years, what would make them fix it now?
