HoN F2P = Cute?

[quote=HereTooAnnoyYou]I don't know about you guys... But I'm glad I never purchased HoN. Why you ask? Because they are just the [b]ESSENCE[/b] of originality. Not only do they only have maybe 1 or 2 actual heroes that were not copyed spell by spell from DotA, they are now making the game FREE with the same kind of currency situation that LoL uses! And just to top it off, the newest hero that comes with the F2P launch, is a MONKEY very similar to the Wukong champion that Riot designed. What really gets me is the new coin system they implemented, not only is it basically the RP/IP system we have on LoL, it's basically a money dump! Why would I bother grinding/buying new heroes with my own time or money when I can just boot up my oldschool Warcraft 3 and play any fucking hero I choose! Even the player base still hanging out on Warcraft 3 is 10 times better then the shitty elitest tryhards that inhabit HoN. Seriously, HoN has nothing going for it in my opinion except maybe superior graphics which half the time I can't even comprehend whats going on as soon as a battle starts, and I'm not even lagging! And my eyes have adapted to all sorts of chaos, I've been playing video games for a long time. I mean yes, the game was built off of the ever so popular DotA, which even now I still would play a million times over the crappy HoN remake. Anyways, share your views. /rant[/quote]

[quote=theBMB]haha I can't believe you made an account just to rant about HoN (should be in off topic) but anyway, ya i tried playing a game of HoN, played the tutorial, let it sit on my desktop, then uninstalled it. It definitely does not seem worth my time to learn all of the items, champs, and such when I have LoL waiting for me. And from what I hear, the HoN community is worse than the LoL community. And I agree, it's way too hard to tell your minions apart, they all look like grey blobs from far away can't imagine actually being able to figure out what's going on in a teamfight.[/quote]

[quote=Joobieo#41288]We already had a thread about this in off topic :) . Thanks for sharing your concern though .[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]I find this amusing :).[/quote]

[quote=Xiron]This is the 3rd thread isnt it? I H A T E HoN.[/quote]

[quote=Yougan]HoN is fun... but just like LoL it's too much time giving for buying champs... Wich makes you unable to play both games and still have time doing something else. So it doesn't really help if it's going f2p cuz nearly no one who plays LoL will go for it. x_x New players may join tho but still 50% of em join LoL. And when DotA 2 comes out even more will go to DOtA (both from LoL and HoN).[/quote]

[quote=GnuenG]A well written rant on the opposition is always welcome, if it's not useless, it's always funny :) I totally agree with you good sir,HoN is sitting on a rim-full bucket of shit, trying to push down another load.[/quote]

[quote=Yougan]Actually I love both games... But they're just bitching with the price! Either release the champs att 6300/whatever the prize is on HoN and later sink it to about 3150/hon prize or make more IP/silver gain. They will nearly not lose anything becuse most of the players wastes their real money on skins. And if not they waste it on NEW champs.:3 So you will give more fun to players and MAYBE lose a little money. Why not?[/quote]

[quote=ShadowNet]HoN is pretty much on life support or at least they're trying to put it on. Newerth players will switch to DoTa 2 or *cough* LoL and they'll pull the plug.[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]Dear Op. I if you are a troll. Good job. If not. Let me response. [quote] Because they are just the ESSENCE of originality.

Your statement was true on launch, but not any more... And the only simultaneity between the 2 monkey kings is the name. And i think thought about it first, might be wrong.

World of warcraft is a prime example of this. They copied so many good elements from other MMO's and made the game better for it. This free to playmodel works, so why not use it? Why shuld S2 games use a worse setupp? It makes no sense... If you played it before this change (wich i think you did) you wuld not have this problem with heroes. Only thing that is total BS is the EA BULL SHIT that is going on. And Dota playerbase not tryhard? Guess you don't played on dota league then? People on battle net is so fucking bad -.-...

So you can't really calculate in that. Graphics are a totaly personal matter. I have no problem seeing what's going on in battles, some people do... It is a person to person bases. Not valid criticism... I still stick into this statment. HoN is for the more competitive and "Hardcore crowd" While LoL is for the more "Casual" Crowd. And any one argueing against this... Please stop trolling. (I know that both is tryeing to broaden there demographics, just look at HoN going f2p and LoL's observer mode.) Either you are a troll and i salute you. Or you are just a naive LoL fanboy. Yeeze...[/quote]
