Can't wait for Beta either, the game looks beautiful and not as cluttered as HoN is. :)

That's because LoL is better. Being more complicated does not equall better game. HoN is overly confusing and needlessly difficult. I was able to get MVP on a few games and decimate the other team after just a few games played of HoN. So dont troll me and say I'm a nub. What I mean is that I am good at HoN yet the needless mechanics mke it unenjoyable.

Dota is like Everquest. HoN is like every MMORPG after Everquest. And LoL is like WOW. I loved everquest. Thought the copycats were good. Then played WoW and never looked back. It doesn't mean I don't appreciate Everquest and what it did for the genre. But it was time to move on and evolve. Again let me be clear I played ultima online(old one), shadowbane, and darkfall. Three of the most hardcore pvp "lose all your equipment and items if you die" MMORPGs you will ever play. I enjoyed them a lot but overall WoW is still a better game regardless of "care bear" status.

LoL is innovative yet simple, appeals to the masses and is ultimately more fun to play. And last I checked the reason to play games, sports, etc initially is for fun then you get competitive. I want so much to like DotA2 but it seems like they didn't even try to get creative. Speaking of creativity. LoL Dominion map, look it up. One more reason they are ahead. Ohh yeah and they won most fans award at gamescom. Hahahahaha take that dota2.

Edit: I don't mean to say DotA2 won't be fun. Nor do I mean to say that it won't have a huge player base. I also do not want to deter people from playing it. This is not a LoL advertisement post heheh. Just my 2cents on the subject. That is all.

I agree with the HoN, It's so bad coded and constant crashes and server downs but. I never enjoyed LoL, I felt like every "hero" was just put into the game and had different game style art in it'. and the fights ended so fast, i couldn't really see what was going on without getting killed in a sec in the start. Just my opinion.
But I do like to play the game with my friends.

I have trouble in big fights in LoL because for some reason your health bar will sometimes be covered by your other team's. I know it is also located by your avatar on the bottom left, but in a battle I really need to look at what's going on. One thing that did worry me about dota 2 from watching the tournament was that the health bar did not display the other Heroes' level which is something you really need to know when deciding to attack and what to expect.

Well you can just click on the other hero to see their level, and for your hp bar to be obscured they need to pretty much be on top of you, which is not advised since AOE spells will be able to hit both of you. Just find better positioning
