If you ask me now, the thing League of legends lack now is intresting hero concepts, and this only gets clearer when you see for example what HoN comes upp with: (there newest hero) Compare that to lee sin?

I know you can't make all the awsome concepts in LoL, but still... any one have ideas for cool conecpts or do you think i talk ********? (more then normal ofc)

...Sand King, Phantom Lancer,...and, a hugely exaggerated centaur return. Seems original to me. :P



On the topic of League champions however, there really is a threshold to what each individual champion can "do". Riot devs do NOT want their champions to be like those of the HoN/DotA ones in the same way with their overblown spells and capabilities. Things like Zil's Antifun laws are a downer sometimes, but it's how the games revolves around its designs.

Potatisfarfar prefers a HoN champion to a LoL champion? nawww

but seriously - I think you're just overlooking some of the more impressive concepts in LoL due to your massive HoN/DotA bias. Nocturne, for instance, is a nightmare who exited someone's dream and now slaughters intense amount of people with armblades.

Well i mostly mean gameplay concepts, HoN heroes are mostly demons, beasts and humans.

But is it just me or do all the champs in lol only reach meh... status?

you were like hurr durr lol has boring champions, this guy is awesome

and i was like hurr durr hes boring.

i thought that was kinda on topic but anyway.


as everyone else mentioned LoL doesn't want everything to be OMG SUPER COOL BLARGH LAZORS AND PARTICLE EFFECTS OUT THE *** while thats exactly what HoN's doing.

i think Lee Sin is a great concept with the dual skills. he obviously needed new ones as his older ones were given away to other champions. (teemos blinding dart and master yi's meditate, for example.)

I don't think it was really offtopic honestly.
You complained about League champions like Lee Sin being bland, well honestly I gotta agree, that HoN video you posted looked pretty boring. It essentially sounded like a straight up auto attack champion that got more powerful by walking(?).

You're always going to have those bland champions, I think that with games like these though it more has to do with a person's play style. People may enjoy that.

Brand is a dude on fire. What's not awesome about that?

Urgot is a monstrous frankenstein-esque abomination. What's not awesome about that?

Baron dies so Lee Sin can have his buff. What's not awesome about that?

I still think you're vastly overlooking champions.

Also, you're not going to find a whole lot of support for HoN on a LoL fansite.

I posted to discuss League of legends heroes, not heroes of newerth! ok if he posted this hero looks booring but this is what i think!

There is no need.

Quoted:
OMG SUPER COOL BLARGH LAZORS AND PARTICLE EFFECTS OUT THE ***


Clearly you haven't played the game, and with intresting hero concepts i mean: Take control of jungle creeps building you own little army of dudes.

Spells that get stronger the more people cast around you

Etc.

And i don't really mean skin, Lol > HoN when it comes to skins. But what i mean is ability settup.

Take lee sin for example, he got a shumpno that shields... cool

A charge that needs to be hit by a skillshot,

An aoe slow

and a headbutt.

AND I AM NOT TRYEING TO SAY HON IS GOD! Just wanteing to say that compared to Lol's counterparts, the ability concepts are really booooooooooooooooring

EDIT: How can you think that HoN hero looks boring? :o. So mutch jukeing ability and mindgame you can play...
