iG v. EHOME (I miss KingJ and Burning)
It will be a sweet game with two arguable great Chinese teams.

Nah just that it's boring to watch, like creep farming for 15 minutes then some skirmishes. May as well just play, I mean they might be pros but they're not on some ultra high level compared to regular players who know what they're doing as the game doesnt really have skill tiers, you either know how to play or you dont.

lol creep farming for 15mins isn't that bad, maybe more European. Chinese carries farm for 30+ mins

It's usually just the 1 carry doing all the farming while the other 4 slug it out. You'll find that lol and dota are quite stagnant but hon is very push/gank orientated.

tbh was slightly disappointed. game felt slow, animations lacklustre, healthbars too clunky. we'll see how this pans out.

eh, 60 minute snoozefests with 5 minutes of action total each game

watching this reminded me of why i dont play mobas anymore

hopefully the metagame will change significantly during the beta.. icefrog has been trying to shorten the gamelength since dota1, but some of these fucking matches went for 90 mins.. the mechanics just make mobas an inherently slow game

lol you are an idiot. saying there is little difference between top tier players as opposed to normal players pretty much implies you've never played competitively


at this point. i rcn hon is still a better game
graphics wise probably but hons metagame is trash, most of the time they get strats from chinese dota teams anywyas. additionally, hon players are generally trash

you have cocky americans who are terribad
aussies that are juust downright shit (i mean the avg psr is like 1400-1600)
asians who can either be good or absolutely fuckin terribel (i.e filos/thais etc.)
then you have brazilians/argentinians.

but yeah aussies are fuckin terrible at hon, apparently 1700 is really hard to get.

1700 is hard for anyone who is solo queuing

you are 1 person in a 10 player game, the outcome is more often than not determined by how many br's you get matched with

the frustration of having barely any individual control over how the game pans out coupled with one of the worst communities ive ever seen in any game just completely sucks the fun out of hon if you dont have mates to regularly play with
