I usually top lane or jungle, sometimes support. DO NOT let me ADC, I'm WAYYY too aggressive, unless you're an amazing support =)

Nope. This game is still shit. I can't play every position.

What some people do before a game starts is look up their teammates on a site like www.lolking.net and see how shitty they are.

Personally I love mid lane, solo top or jungle... no time for bot lane, too many retard ADCs but have been known to try to support with Kayle/Soraka. Soraka just reminds me of being an EQ cleric, keep eyes on people's health on the left of the screen and ulti as required. Problem is, playing pure support in LoL is boring as fuck... spamming Q for Soraka isn't really too fruitful.

On the fence as to whether or not I should take the time to give this game a try. I had played HoN for the better part of a year and while I wasn't amazing at it, I did love the way the game's mechanics worked (deny strategy in particular).
The thing that I did hate was the player base, it got to the point where I'd automute my entire team at the beginning of a match out of reflex because 99/100 times they'd be screaming their autistic asses off.

I heard the community in LoL was a lot better but the game is just a dumbed down version. Can anyone who's played both confirm/deny? Note: I've never played DOTA.

LOL community not much better than HoN, but they do have a system that removes toxic players.

Dumbed down? Hardly. HoN has retardedly OP champs and requires you to kill your own minions as a "strategic" advantage. LoL fixes both of those, so I'd say it's more balanced or focused, but definitely not dumbed down.

Do they have something in place that replaces denying your opponent gold/xp as a strategy?

FoxxHound · #**1408** 07-03-2013, 09:40 AM

I concur with the not dumbed down part. It's less about rice farming at more about making plays against your opponents.

Yes. If you consistently land hits on your opponents even if they have sustain they usually become intimidated making it rather easy to zone them. In LoL you interact more against the enemy champs then you do in say DoTA, HoN etc... In those you concentrate on just rice farming.

there is no strategy to denying, despite what HoN nerds say.

it's bad game design, plain and simple.

i'm willing to bet that it wasn't even intended in original DotA, but was so common that they left it in.

in LoL, you actually have to beat opponents, not just bore them to death.
