1. yes its stupid. you shouldnt have to click on a person to see their mana. might be redeemed when mods come out but its a braindead design choice and an unnecessary holdover from dota 1
2. ghost marchers vs phase boots. shrunken head vs bkb. scout vs bounty hunter. devo vs pudge. pebs vs tiny. attack animations. i can go on and on and on and on and on and on and on.
3. yes. BLINK DAGGER BARELY MAKES A SOUND AT ALL. RE.TARD.ED. ITS BARELY NOTICEABLE. EVERY ABILITY SOUNDS THE SAME. Compare with some of the newer hon sounds, "Hey, guys look what I got" - "I loooooooooooove me some creeps!"
4. warding is restricted, cant really ward freely and it really limits the gameplay
5. minus. its bad. its basically a roulette system for mid. i shouldnt have to explain this
6. its bad. unecessary arbitrary mechanic that long outstayed its welcome and is only in the game as a holdover from dota 1

i like playing the dota heroes (though some are ridiculously broken, boggles my mind that dota players get on a high horse about balance) but hon is truly the superior game at a technical level on so many fronts

and its completely f2p now (all heroes unlocked for everyone! :>)

[Timeater]

no its not i like dota 2 alot

but i think hon is technically better

i still need to play all the dota heroes!!!

[Timeater]

muhauhuahuaha, all is going according to plan

2. most agree that hon "feels" better than dota 2, this is what I mean by "functional aesthetics"
3. darox you know portal key is better than blink dagger. PK SOUND = DOIIING DINK REALLY LOUD / BD = LITTLE TINY BLOOP NOISE. DO NOT DENY.
4. disagree!
5. hon proved a long time ago why the 0:00 rune is bad, its a lengthy discussion I dont have time for. I used to like it but its too much of a dice roll for my liking thanks!
6. limitation by way of creeping normalcy, and again, hon proved that the secret shop really wasn't that important and saw it for the arbitrary mechanic it really was once it was removed
7. ursa, phantom lancer, ta, and furion to start! what hon heroes do you think are imbalanced?

[Timeater]

clinks is pretty darn good but ursa is the best pubstomper imo

[Timeater]

wat force staff. ur doin it wrong

vlads, roshan lvl 7-9(lolbalance), get damage, get blink, rape everything

[Timeater]

thats just apart of why ursa rapes (what, rosh in 20 seconds at level 7?? lolbalance)

his damage output is lel

lancer is retarded im sorry
furion is retarded im sorry

the core mechanics of those heroes are broken

i can see arguements for ta/ursa being balanced so w/e i'll let it slide

[Timeater]

of course not

i'm an 1800 hon player i know a thing or two

i'm just giving my opinion on some things. i could talk about it all day but eh.

[Timeater]

i find it fascinating how strong storm spirit is compared to doc repulsor. its true doc can be a nightmare but he feels like much more of a threat in dota because of 1) the whole "gotta click on someone to see their mana thing" and 2) the speed of the game, where his mobility is that much more of a factor. also i think the passive is slightly different i havent bothered looking it up

[Timeater]

I wish hon had OD. :[

[Timeater]

lol sand wraith

just lol

though BB said he was good in dota so idk

[Timeater]

looks neat!
