This looks... promising. I hated DotA on Warcraft 3, after playing for like 2 years and getting abused (including getting raged at for nothing) through a lot of matches. Might get this if I have too much time... but I'll have to admit that it will bring a breath of life to the games, maybe renew some interest in the game.

1 million dollar tournament for Dota 2 featuring the top 16 Dota teams at gamescon.

Eaaaaaasy

One of the bigger problems I have had playing these sorts of games has been that I suck at them. But there is usually almost no learning curve, you just hit a brick wall at the start.

Knowing Valve, they'll probably address that issue.

 

And I am anxious for this game. I was wondering when they were going to reveal it.

 

I hope it isn't F2P though. I prefer to have all the heroes unlocked from the beginning.

Sorry to double post but...

I like how it looks. UI could use a bit of polishing but the game and character models look great.

Also, why are there six slots?

Doombringer has 6 skills technically IIRC.

 

edit: meant shadowfiend.

People on forums (especially the HoN forums) are already saying, "This game looks like League of Legends 2. What crappy graphics, I'm not buying"

 

*sigh*

I don't see how this looks like LoL at all. LoL looks heavily cel-shaded with really thick outlines.

 

 

And people on the HoN forums are [developmentally delayed]ed.

Doombringer has 6 skills technically IIRC.

What would you do without me?

 

LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT

 

Why does the guy (shopkeeper I believe) at the beginning remind me of the heavy?

Plus it has tournament brackets/pools for tomorrow

The game looks nice so far.

 

I managed to catch a match before school this morning.

I'm very excited for the release of DotA 2 as I am quite a big original DotA player. Been watching this tournament and catching up on replays where possible. I know it's difficult to watch for people who are unfamiliar with DotA, but here's a highlight video I made of Ehome vs Scythe. I made another one but without commentary as a test, and I didn't like it as much. Atm I can do one a day, so I'm going to work on uploading another one tommorrow. Let me know what you think :)

 

 

Can't wait to pwn some HoN and LoL noobs.

Na`Vi won :D

Woooo Na'Vi, was sheer domination. They definetly deserved it.

too bad DOTA 2 looks like HoN
