    Default League of Legends VS DotA 2 VS HoN vs . which does South Africa Prefer?

    Hello Forumers

    I have created a poll to see which game is proffered and played by South Africans.

    Cant wait to see what you prefer.

    You may select more than one if you like both. Let me know if I must add any more games.

    No, just no! I will not succumb to MMO's and MOBA's.

    I really find it difficult to understand how anyone can consider any MOBA to be anywhere near as good as DotA (mechanically, balance-wise etc). I tried LoL for exactly one game and hated it. I played Strife for about 3 games and... it was okay, I guess, but it felt very casual and silly. Might have kept playing, but it was too laggy/buggy. I've only ever seen other people play HotS and it looks absolutely terrible.

    Never played any of the others.

    The only negative thing about DotA is its community, otherwise it's pretty much the best MOBA out there, in my opinion.

    Agreed, the only reason LoL has a incredibly large player base is because people were looking for their MOBA fix at a stage when Dota of old was getting stale.

    Dota 2 is an ever evolving, mechanically sound and incredibly balanced MOBA.

    Are you referring to DotA or DotA 2?

    I feel the game has broken times which make it very unrealistic and broken. in DotA 2 the surroundings which I understand are interactive can be overcrowding in my opinion.

    If DotA 2 the mechanics are good but each game is different. DotA 2 feels broken because of stun times and ward times etc.

    They're essentially still the same game from a mechanics standpoint (with minor exceptions due to the limits of the WC3 engine), but I was referring to DotA 2, if it matters.

    Stun times and ward times... can you elaborate? What are you referring to, and what's "broken" about them?

    The most common "complaint" I hear from people who prefer other MOBA games over DotA is that its skill ceiling is too high, but that's exactly what I like about it. I fully understand why others might not, and that's fine, but I still believe that DotA is the better game (again, mechanically, balance-wise etc.).

    To be fair, I think what sets DotA apart is its age. It's been around a long time, and this has allowed its developers to fine-tune and tweak it to a stunning degree.

    Yes I agree with the high skill cap but that I don't mind km willing to improve myself and become better. I've heard that landing phase is longer and damage output is weaker. Stuns and slows are way to long and that's why coming from lol I find it too broken.
