i cant the game is terrible and the playerbase is almost entirely 11 year olds. i cant believe how many people actually think this game is competitive and is taken seriously. you kiddies were the ones coming to the hon forums, you know that forum for that game that costs money and has big name sponsors and $40,000 tournaments, and such....
I seriously cannot believe the denial that this game is more than just a bad graphic dota ripoff minus all of the things that made dota competitive, like balanced heros, abilities that scale properly, creep denying/tower denying, micro, and various other things LoL doesn't have that Hon and Dota do. Know what all the pro dota players are playing? Hon. Or Dota. Know what all the 11 year olds that can't break 1500 on hon are? LoL.
Allow me to quote myself so I don't need to rewrite it:
I can't beleive these fucking noobs are trying to defend LoL as if it takes an ounce of fucking skill. It's funny how hon players who have never touched LoL can play their first game and absolutely dominate it knowing nothing about any of the heros, yet a top LoL player can't come to hon and break 1600 psr.....
There is a reason there are 3 million people playing LoL:
1) It's free
2) It's full of fucking 11 year olds who play with their 11 year old faggot friends
3) It's free
4) 11 year olds don't have money to spend on computer games
5) The heros all look like cuddley little pokemon/disney heros clearly targetting a fucking teenie bopper crowd
6) The original creators of dota have come out with a boatload of CRAP aside from maybe dota? LoL is one of those projects.
7) It's free
8) It's nice to play a game where 20 apm is gosu
LoL is not set up to be competitive, and if it was the people who made it have never played competitive games. Not only is the game fucking easy as balls and not scaled well AT ALL. In Hon you have psr to basically match you with your caliber of the playerbase and to give people an idea of your skill level. Each account is also tied to specific stats that are averaged from every game you have ever played. In LoL you can lose every fucking game you ever played and still get to level 30.
Anyone who thinks LoL is a better game then Hon you are a fucking moronic cumguzzling piece of shit. There isn't a single reason why LoL is better then hon. The heros are boring, the graphics are horrific, the game is so fucking basic and bland that I can barely stomach it for an entire game. When was the last time there was a $40,000 LoL tournament with countless sponsors? Hon is what? not even 2 months old now? And already the competitive scene > LoL?
Typical dumbfuck 11 year olds in denial about their hello kitty island adventure game. Game is full of a bunch of bubbly emo heros, and wtf is skins? So you can customize your little barbie doll hero in game so people in game are like "omg where u get that outfit yo"
LoL is a bad game, all of the good reviews were either from garbage sites or people affiliated with it. The same fucking reason there isn't an LoL forum on jsp and you had to post this here, nobody gives a flying fuck about your emo 11 year old cupcake game
The playersbase doesn't consist of entirely 11-year-olds. Low Elo playerbase is 11 years olds though.
The graphics aren't bad, they're different. The went for a cell-shading-esque graphics, where HoN went for a realistic/then smudge it to hell and back graphic.
I'll agree LoL doesn't require skill...when you're starting off. Rarely any game does. And saying any decent HoN player can dominate on LoL is a joke. My friends who play HoN came over from HoN to LoL and lost 3-4 games in a row, then called the game stupid and left. And 3 of those people were roughly at 1600 rating on HoN.
When I played HoN I hit roughly a 1500 rating, then stopped playing the game. It is just not as enjoyable.
1. What's wrong with free?
2. Hm, low Elo does have a lot of young players, but I've ran into very few 11 year olds at my Elo.
3. I know you're in disbelief that something is free, but yes, it's free!
4. I'm pretty sure most 11 year olds can get their parents to buy games.
5. Yeah I love using that pokemon that wears an entire suit of armor and carries a giant mace....Or that pokemon who is a barbarian...he's my favorite....or the giant tit lady with a bow...her too!
6. This isn't even a valid argument.
7. Holy shit....this game is free?!!?
8. Actions per minute I assume....If you only doing 20....you are clearly low Elo.
Elo is the same thing as rating on HoN you just can't see Elo untill Season 1.
HoN is older than LoL, and LoL came out of BETA first. There have been countless in-house tournaments that I'm sure the average player didn't know about. I've been in several.
Skins are purchasable in the store....nobody would be confused as to where you got it.
Well now that G4 will be spotlighting it....I think you can be a little quieter.
I'm sure the reason HoN players are so sour about LoL is because they spend all this time playing HoN and get nothing as a reward...except maybe some number changes.
LoL players get runes, unlocking more champions and masteries just from learning/playing the game. All-in-all, they're both MOBAs and have their followers, HoN people just seem to think because you pay for it, it makes it better.
