And that is bad why? Riot is a business after all, as long as it's not pay to win and there are people with money to spend why should anyone care? It's easy for DotA2 to be like it is, because there is a huge company behind it called Valve.

You don't have to pay to unlock them.

I will add one more thing, for the 5 years I have been playing LoL I haven't payed a single cent for it and I have never felt like I was at a disadvantage compared to the people who payed to unlock heroes.

And I have nothing against either of the games and think both are good in their own ways, though I have dabbled a little in the original DotA and played LoL since it's inception. To say that DotA is a harder/complex game to play then LoL is, in my opinion, laughable. Following that logic a Dota2 player should have no trouble being at the top of the ladder in LoL with little to no effort and that has never happened. It doesn't matter though, this doesn't really hurt the argument you were trying to make about PoE, though your facts were colored.

At the entry point, yeah for sure, but in high elo where strategies are important and everything you do matters, not at all, they are only different. For an example, crowd control is much longer in dota2 thus you have much more time to think and react in team fights, DotA2 has more active on items where as LoL has summoner spells, in LoL spells have much more impact then in DotA2 and are usually on a much lower cooldown so team fights are harder to predict, in LoL controlling a lane is harder and there are many other things that I could go on and compare. It's a slim argument if you are going to hang the complexity of Dota2 on creep denial.

I have and I addressed it. The rest of my post addresses the rest of your comments.

Hmm I don't know how far you made it in LoL, but pretty much what you describe for DotA2 applies to LoL too. Only in low ELO matches does the behavior you mention happen. You can look at some professional matches, no one fights in them, they all try to economically eclipse their opponent before they go in for the kill, thus most of the matches have low kill scores. Split pushing, farming, rotating and many more tactics are used in LoL and have been used since the beginning. The only thing LoL doesn't have is minion denying and that has been removed because the devs thought that there is no logic in killing your own allies. Tbh everything you described seems to come from experiencing low elo games.

Seen ep.2, definitely like it so far. Though it is pretty similar to early seasons of Supernatural.

Yup, did every upgrade.

I know of the bug where importing to DA2 would flag companions as dead, but I was talking more about the Epilogue in DA:A.

I did all that, but the keep still got breached as far as I remember and some companions got killed (I did all the quest and had +100 with all the companions). I remember trying both and liking the ending where I save the keep more.

So I'm confused, how can you save both the keep and the town in DA:A? I don't remember you being able to do that.

Here's a novel idea, how about we have health and...now hear me out...more health. Scrap endurance/stamina.

No idea to be honest, for the last decade I was on nvidia, but amd has made a strong showing. It's either going to be a 980 or the next thing that comes from amd.

That is the next thing on my list.

Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko, it has mystery, suspense and fantasy in it.

There is always the sequel. knocks on wood

Sure, I'm a big proponent of "make a system and let others do with it what they want", but this isn't the system we were "promised". This stinks of modern systems that have 4 molds, mage/damage dealer/tank/support. There are enough games already that do this system and I doubt that Obs will do much better then them. As for glass canon not being the best build, well I have seen nothing yet that proves otherwise.

Pulled the trigger on a Intel 5920k, Rampage V, Corsair 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, Corsair 760T and a Noctua NH-D15 (wanted to go for a CM Nepton 280l but they stopped manufacturing it and the stocked sold out by the time I ordered it :/). So the build is going to look something like this for now: CPU: Intel 5920k MOBO: Rampage V Extreme RAM: Corsair 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4 GPU: Asus 560Ti SSD: Vertex 4 128GB PSU: Seasonic 660X Case: Corsair 760T Monitor: Samsung T220

There shouldn't be glass cannons period. The fact that there are builds in this game that can be classified as such, makes me lose faith in it.

Finished Revelation Space (Alastair Reynolds), it was ok. Looking forward to Chasm City(book 2), because that is the book that was recomended to me.

Gave it a go, didn't catch me at all. It seem like an inferior version of Civ5 to be honest.

^And I didn't even particulary care for the comic. Though I have to admit that I LOVED Keanu Reeve's Constantine.

Someone in Obsidian has been playing too much MOBA and not enough IE games...
