Is league going to stick around?

[quote=Darcurse]Yeah right.. so what? If competetive players want some of the money they'll still play LoL. I'm not talking about an instant switch but a steady alteration. (Maybe ending up playing both, too) And noone said that Valve cant afford prize pots which are even worthier to get than the ones of Riot. It's just that LoL's the only one right now and DotA the thing why ppl started to play Mobas/going competitive. Also you guys talk if LoL and DotA are two different games. Most ppl only have to reminscent the times they played DotA back in the days. @TheJohn You srs? o0 I mean yeah, both games have a bad graphic since noone rly cares, but HoN?? +Its not LoL ~ DotA2 but DotA2~HoN since HoN's just a BAD copy of DotA... And from what I've seen Valve tried to stick rly close to the original instead of cloning the current one.[/quote]

[quote=TheJohn]DotA has many flaws because its a map from Warcraft, so it has Warcraft's mechanics. HoN transformed that idea into a better version Now DotA 2 is trying to get the old reputation back, but I really disliked those graphics, they look too idiot for 2011. HoN is not a "bad copy", its an improvement. And if it wants to stay on the 2nd place, S2 will have to prove that it deserves the title of runner-up until people quit LoL and it takes the lead Of course you dont agree with what I'm saying, you sure think that DotA is better than HoN and LoL will hold the players, but let the possibilities reach your mind[/quote]

I know how you're feeling, its like that in the beginning, but if you really like mobas, progress awaits[/quote]

I am decent LoL. I choose to do dominion. I am noob I think because well... I never played MOBA back on WoW nor any of the other remakes so league is my fist MOBA like game. (Unless you count custom game in sc2: "Hero Attack")[/quote]

[quote=MDC]If talking about graphics... 1) Multiplayer isn't about that from the start, it's only a bonus factor. 2) Eve Online proved, that graphics can get way better over the years as long as you invest in it. Most serious reason, why DotA 2 won't steal that many players is that LoL isn't just a DotA copy. I wonder if Savage would be considered a moba game?[/quote]

[quote=JakofAllSpaydes]DoTA 2 will steal more HoN players than LoL, because really, it's not the same. The concept, sure, is around the same, but league has done some good things, and I do think that it will survive :P[/quote]

[quote=ExamplePrime][quote=Zeprido] I call LoL DoTA for the masses for a reason... It's easy to get into, and has enough depth if you care enough to master it. This paired with the fact that Riot Games is a pretty open company compared to others creating a more attractive environment, and that they provide consistent updates and balance changes should keep LoL around for many years. [/quote] The graphics are a style btw and there are plans to upgrade them[/quote]

You started playing Moba after LoL came up didnt you... Yeah since DotA started as fun map, there wasnt that much attention on it, but how long has DotA evolved before LoL came up? ~6 years? Regarding "differences": LoL "evolved" after basing on DotA, but if its for the better or worse, thats up to personal opinion. HoN [u]TOTALLY[/u] copied DotA: Chars, Map layout, mechanics etc. DotA may had its flaws and even if HoN corrected them (NOT talking about new content and such) DotA2 will likely do the same. @TheJohn if you think HoN is the better Moba (no offen there, your personal opinion) but its likely that youre more for the original DotA style instead of the LoL-altered one.[/quote]
