Here is an article on Dota 2 that Valve and Icefrog are working on.

Can't fricken wait.

should be interesting. but i like many others are skeptical about how long it will take valve to actually release the game. so far i am still incredibly happy with HoN.

[x[jbrhymer]]

How does HoN compare to LoL?

[x[ninjax]]

think of hon as the more hardcore of the dota successors. hon imported many of the mechanics and heros right from dota. denies, creep pulling, stacking, advanced mechanics. whereas lol is more of a casual experience. casters do scale in LoL as opposed to HoN. no denies in lol. but doesn't matter, from the looks of it, DotA 2 is going to rule supreme in the genre anyways.

[x[jbrhymer]]

Yeah, just read a review on the 2. Since I have already invested time into LoL, I will stick with it. But yeah, DoTA 2 should own them both.

[x[ninjax]]

yeah, if you have time invested in LoL stick with it. no offense, but HoN would just chew you up and spit you out. you would feel like a complete noobie again.

[x[jbrhymer]]

From what i can tell hon also drew most of the assholes from dota over to it :)

The people that consider everyone else assholes are the ones that should stick to LOL (it means you are bad, kind sir). : P

Spoken like a true............ ummm....

[x[ninjax]]

raider, where you been? do you smurf it up in HoN now? or are we on at diff times? or did you just go back to DotA?

[x[raider134]]

I haven't played in a long time; whatever my last game on Raider134 is, that's when. Bouncy (Will) tried to get me on tonight; just a busy night for me.

I thought people hated what Icefog did to dota... ?

[x[ninjax]]

huh? i havent played DotA in a year, but i do try to keep up on the changelogs. looks like the recent changes were to combat the prevalence of tri laning. looks like it just encouraged turtling even more tho. idk i pub pretty much exclusively so i have rarely seen an effective tri lane anywho.

[x[raider134]]

trilanes are so hard to play against : / 2 players harass the player non stop so he can't lane while a melee hero (typically, like sven) simply last hit and get HUGE. Sven is a good one because he has a great stun to go along with everything else--and getting 4/4 cs after 1 wave, 8/8 after 2, and usually a few kills--yeah, by lvl 20 you have power treads, MoM, bkb, and a heart :P

Wouldn't be surprised if there will be all sorts of lawsuits because of what IceFrog might have done.
HoN (S2 games) VS LoL (Riot games) VS
