What MOBA?

I liked reading your post as i agree with you on Hon's game play. Since quitting i have played a fair bit of dota 2 with friend and it is a good game but i still prefer hon despite the fact that nobody plays it. I cant get into any of the others like Lol etc.

And to the person complaining about them buffing heroes, this is nothing new. Every patch has strong and weak heroes and it changes every patch. It keeps the meta fresh.

Im well aware the meta changes from time to time, but this patch is one of the worst I've experienced.
 
I wouldn't say it's too bad, just needs a few tweaks. Generally the patches are better balanced than this one but it always seems a little more crazy when new items are also introduced like in this instance.
 
Had a couple of games last night, am struggling a bit as lots of hero's look very similar, much prefer the graphics from HoN. Gonna take a bit of getting used to as everything just seems a bit off from HoN.

EDIT

Roughly how long until you can play ranked games?

I'm not sure what's happened in the world of DOTA2 as I haven't played it in over a year. HoTS is damn fun though for a quick blast. The secondary objectives are a good diversion too.
 
I played LoL extensively, Demigod, DOTA 2 and HotS briefly, and Smite a fair bit.

The only ones I actually enjoyed were Smite and LoL, and I HATED HotS.

Paragon looks cool, but I don't have the free time for MOBAs any more.
 
Had my 5th DOTA game just now as Miranda? Valkyrie was one of my favourites in HoN. Got 27/0/10. What's the immortal equivalent? Think I might have killed all 5 in the last fight too.
 
A few handy links for you:
http://dota2.gamepedia.com/HoN_hero_comparison
http://dota2.gamepedia.com/HoN_item_comparison

Those two serve to give you a bit of an idea about hero/item equivalents if you're interested, though obviously not everything is comparable.

A little long but honestly, it's worth the read. Purge's guide is one of the best starting points when playing Dota2, and even experienced players can pick up a lot from it.

Finally, you're starting at a good time as we are right at the start of the Shanghai Major, one of the 4 large tournaments of the year. You can catch the livestream on twitch (vods also available on there) if you want the full experience, or for just the games youc an watch them for free in-game.
 
Out of interest what do you guys use to find out the game schedule in the majors?

I always struggle to find a definitive list so I can watch all the games.
 
Thanks for the links, will have a read through. I've found a hero comparison guide and ward map to use for now. Think this is defo the game for me, am starting to quite like it. Not much talking in game though.
 
Yeah, I rarely find people with voice comms, and even then they are usually in a party with other people and chat through an external program so don't tend to say much in game.
Dota is certainly an acquired taste, and don't be afraid to mute people (drop the score board down in the top left, there's a mute button somewhere next to each players name). If someone is being toxic just mute, report and keep playing.

And be prepared to spend fat more money than you would ever think you would on a free game. If you're going to be playing lots over the next month and care about cosmetics, consider grabbing the battle pass. There's a load of challenges in there, earning points gets you couriers, random sets, and if you complete the quest lines you can get some fancy sets too.

And then every major you will be waiting for the compendium to release again so you can do it all over!

Edit: I take back pretty much everything I just said about buying the compendium/watching the major. Perfect World have managed to screw it all up #freeyames
