The Real Truth 08/09/11 11:33:00 PM #10:	This is really refreshing. I haven't played DotA for awhile now so to get back into a newer version is pretty neat. I imagine Tiny, PotM, Morph, Silencer, VS would all be pretty high on the list of picks. I don't know if they're banning heroes though. -- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.

meisnewbie 08/09/11 11:47:00 PM #14:	No, no it'll always have a fanbase because it's 1) Free and 2) Free with an established base. Even if LoL starts dying, it'll only lose the hardcore batch at the very most while the casuals who don't want to pay will hang on. Although, if Valve ends up getting a much better community than LoL I can see it being the final tipping factor -- Eh? You Serious? Easy Mode? How Disgusting!

Forceful_Dragon 08/10/11 4:33:00 PM #16:	I plan on getting and playing DotA 2. I do not intend to stop playing LoL. LoL had over 100k viewers during much of their season 1 finals streams (which occurred in the dead of night on account of being hosted in Sweden). It will be interesting to see if DotA 2 streams can compete with those numbers. In any case I will play both games. By switching to LoL (from DotA) I was able to stay sharp in a community that is still growing and competitive (which DotA no longer was). I expect I will take to DotA2 pretty well. -- Eff_Dee http://img.imgcake.com/nio/9fdpngys.png <cite>Forceful_Dragon posted [p:190883] in Only a wee...

What's going on: DotA2, made by Valve and the person who made DotA tourney viable, is being revealed to the public next week in a tournament that features the largest prize in esport history.

Azp2k32 08/11/11 5:05:00 PM #36:	*Forceful_Dragon posted...* I don't see LoL getting much smaller just because of DotA 2. I think many people will play both games like I know I will. Especially if DotA2 is F2P. I set aside some birthday money just in case it wasn't. Ehhh. With games so similar, there certainly ends up being an inevitable tradeoff. Like, there were certainly points of time when I played both HoN and LoL, but one is always losing out to the other and only ends up being played because of friends whose game of choice it is at the moment. They're different enough to warrant trying both, but not so much that if you get burned out on playing one of them, you won't be burned out on the others too. -- http://www.nbc.com/parks-and-recreation/exclusives/ron-dancing-animated.gif <cite>Azp2k32 posted [p:190903] in Only a wee...

I don't think they really have an option at this point, especially when it's not just LoL but HoN too that's F2P. I mean, I'm sure they'll get a huge chunk of the market being Valve and all if they charge like, 30 dollars, but when they can just make it F2P and use the pre-established microtransaction model to take over the entire DOTA market.... -- http://www.nbc.com/parks-and-recreation/exclusives/ron-dancing-animated.gif <cite>Azp2k32 posted [p:190905] in Only a wee...

This is just based on my own knowledge, you're better than me at LoL and it's a safe bet you've played more DotA than me too, but it seems like DotA requires more decent team composition at all levels of play. In a match between less amazing players in LoL, an all AP team or an all tanks team could get the job done. Again, I may be speaking from too little experience, but that doesn't seem to be the case in DotA. Even if I'm totally wrong about that, you can't tell me DotA2 would benefit from a free Pudge week. >_> -- Falcon Punch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFtw7qW7Vcw <cite>Xiahou Shake posted [p:190908] in Only a wee...

Trying to argue this doesn't work because it's impossible to win solo in LoL unless the enemy team mass DC's, but teamcomp can screw you over, while in DotA you can win alone but if you're not good enough you'll lose every time. -- Currently playing: League of Legends, Chrono Cross.
