but this metro exodus shit is just ugh

Why can't kids go back to Minecraft

Or if they really want BR then Minecraft Hunger Games

At this point I just want to see Epic fail

Im all for other launcher competing with steam, but forcing me to buy the game on another platform? really?

Tho in other news, I'm still curious about this https://steamdb.info/app/20590/

Why does this still exists

And why was it updated 6 months ago

lol league is stagnating for every year, MOBAs in general are. I think they are just preparing to launch it on steam if the playerbase gets to a really low amount

Why would they?

And League is still making mad cash

So you're talking out of your ass

Are moba numbers declining? Wouldn't be surprised

dota 2 still one of the top games on steam

^ also this

Dude doesn't know what he's talking about

Dota 2 is a MOBA and it's the most played game on Steam.

Don't know what you're talking about MOBAs going out

It's probably just league tbh

Just League and Dota

Those are the only two currently that have any sort of notable playerbase

HotS is a meme and everything else is obscure

Dota 2 has gone up these days because of a very popular mod/arcade game called Auto Chess

a lot of card games players are playing it

they dont play the main game

The most popular games atm are Battle Royals, it is the newest popular meme atm

Nobody said anything about them being "the most popular"

We're stating that they're not going out

They're as relevant as they were before

now now .. HoN has still a lot of player

":D"

Which by that I mean: they exist

i never said no one plays moba but they are clearly stagnating for every year, this is normal. Literally no one plays RTS today, before Starcraft II was like the most popular online game

what they have ? mere 2k or less ?

HoN tho deserved more but was victim of its greed

I wonder how big the playerbase for HoN is nowadays @Tervy

like 5k max

game itself was one of better MOBAs what i have played

Wasn't HoN sold to a bad publisher?

I remember that being the problem

I think like everyone in HoN are from Thailand and a little small swedish base who refuse to go to dota

Literally what DotA 2 should've been

Dota 2 is way better than HoN

Sure

ever was

im dunno about that HoN had more interesting heroes and skillset

I dont get the logic how people think having 0 attack animations is "more skill", this is HoN babbie logic in a nutshell

HoN was literally a port of DotA 1

where as DotA was just rehashing the same old same old

Battlerite best moba (I know it's not a moba)

It sort of is

But not in the traditional sense

Ye

Huge difference between Dota 1 and HoN,

Wtf it has a battle royale now

Indeed

Pubg, black ops 4 blackout, fortnite

@Phatique not skillset not about it needing skill the casualness of it was good part tho

Bo4 blackout is the best looking BR imo

more that the characters skills were more nice looking and "unique" (if you can call them that)

or at least back in the time

ok but everytime I see HoN babbies talk its all about how much their game is more "hardcore" and has more "skill" than dota 2 @Tervy

Most of the kits are straight out copied from DotA 1 tho @Tervy

most melee characters indeed @SenPyro

@Phatique I'd argue that if people argued that DotA 2 is cluncky, they haven't tried HoN yet

but stuff like andromeda had at start was nothing what dota had

and their effects beat the shit out of dota1 back then

I'm not saying it's a whole copy-paste with different character designs

isnt she just vengeful spirit?

I'm saying most kits are

@Phatique mostly similar yes

I've been meaning to get into DotA 2 more but I find it boring to play alone

The HoN Tour finals video is a classic fucking cringe piece, fucking golden kek

I feel like it's just me and the enemy team, most of the time

Not the 1v9 thing, just a 1v5

@Phatique I forgot about that

but indeed HoN deserved more love than it got it had all the perks to be good Dota1 successor

YES I FOUND IT

then the other two (lol and dota2) stepped in few years afterwards

Let's go all play HoN with duh hardgor ghemerz

and then they shot themselves to foot going pay to play from free to play

what killed it effectively

I only played HoN even if I liked dota 1 better, Dota 1 was dying and didnt matchmaking

I remember booting up HoN some years ago again

It was just hispanics cursing the whole time

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWO

>"... the suicide role"

That gave me back memories

I know people still use the term in Dota 2

can you explain it?

I never heard it in my 1000 games

unless it's synonymous with something else I do know

Not surprised

I think it's rather niche to hear it in DotA 2

and all my irl friends that play dota used to play HoN and still use the item names from it

'barbed armor' etc

Suicida lane in DotA 2 is literally Windranger
