Why is it that the MOBA community is the absolute worst community in all of gaming?  So many wannabe elitist douchebags trying to convince everyone that what they prefer is what everyone should prefer.  I enjoy these games, but I hate their communities.

@Knoar Sadly this is so true, League of legends was my first MOBA game and I have played it since the Beta, it was all good back then people were just enjoying the game and helping people out. But right now it has the worst community I have ever faced in game.

@Knoar Amen to that, sir. There are many good folks in there, but I once played an LoL match with a d-bag who spent the whole "countdown" showing off how many champions he has, how douchy can you get?? LOL. And when we beat his ass later in the game, he was all whiny about how much money he spent on all those awesome characters, and was cryin, "how the hell did you still beat me with your crappy free champs?!" Oh God, I just hope somebody would castrate these freaks.

I wish those MOBAS were more like Guardians of Middle Earth... much simple and fun to play... then Dota2 with I think is tucked with the same old strategy mechanics, why shouls I have to select the skill then click right click to use... Im a PC player not a MOBA player but I like Guandians a lot more then LOL - DOTA2 or BOL...  it plays faster and fluiid...

Meh. Looks incredibly lame. Zero innovation and they do wrong even things that Dota 2 does right.

Lol. Booooo! :P When dota 2 finally launches, it will retake its rightful place on the throne as king of Mobas. Dota = Aragorn.

@Epicurus-Reborn I hope so, i got tired of lol but if dota 2 keeps the old and boring mechanics like losing gold i don't think it will get anywhere

Looks cool though. Really its just hard to play more than one MOBA I feel like.

What i hope they do with the series is, give us 2-4 games whatever they need to tell a great story. When we all see mass effect all it should tell us is its a great space epic, it will have rpg like elements it will be a 3rd person shooter, and finnaly are choices will massivly effect the story. I dont see why it has to have anything to do with the last set of games. 

Heck talk with Joss Whedon and put it in the firefly universe? As long as they keep putting the time and effort in to the story and characters im in. I hate shooters and I love mass effect, that says something right there.

Bad copycats of Dota2. LoL is a bad copycat

@krayzeey that's exactly where you're wrong, it's not a copy cat. It innovated on the MOBA genre more than any other has. Even Dota 2 was a crappy copycat of Dota, and that's why it failed... it tried to just copy it.

@krayzeey A bad success?

@canelacandy@krayzeey @RAD_RADIOAnd also, I'm not exactly the biggest fan out there 'coz it has its faults, but technically, Riot's LoL couldn't be a copycat of Valve's DOTA 2, since it came out before it (but not before the original DOTA mod ,of course).

My thoughts/highlights:

What are the big changes from LoL/Dota2? Where to start....ummmm....you can buy anywhere...

I haven't played all the characters yet, just the elephant and the panda. (I laughed)

Asian players have a hive mindset! (laughed again)

Microtransactions (YES!!)

"In a way it sounds like pay to win" (no it sounds EXACTLY like pay to win)

@wexorian Both games are based on WC3 thus characters and skills are inevitably similar in some aspects; not to mention the map Chaos itself was started by modifying old Dota map
