>there are people who claim Riot games is an awful company and playing LoL is giving them support, which makes you a fool >these same people will play HotS, which supports a company way worse than Riot
Explain yourselves. Least dota fans have an excuse, valve seems like an alright company.
I agree with op, how can anyone play this shit when league exists? If you're not gonna play dota, you play league. Not this shit knockoff. It's not even worthy of being an esport.
Logan Richardson
lmfao koreans will never take this shit seriously, so why play?
Easton Hughes
HotS has more fun characters IMO, I love the specialists, especially Abathur. Just a shame it's a crap shoot if he's useful or not based on how the devs feel like balancing at the moment
David Gutierrez
They don't take DotA seriously either as it has incredibly shallow macro.
John Ross
zed and ekko are more fun than any hero in hots
Grayson Perry
>a company way worse than Riot
Are they really? I thought Riot was backed by tencent, who were known to be the scum of the industry?
Ryder Mitchell
>No new IP Well done you fucking child. Stop seeking validation for playing a game and just fucking play it if you like it. Some people find HotS more fun, myself included, DotA is more competative,LoL is pure shit.
David Edwards
Why the fuck would you play hots instead of lol if you're not gonna learn dota 2? LoL has all the crazy teamfights and gameplay of hots but with actual skill involved. hots is made for fucking dumbasses. The game also runs like shit compared to league.
Evan Torres
I adore Ekko but I'm gonna heavily disagree on Zed. HotS just has more interaction, even if in the end it's meaningless. I love building creep as Zagara for instance or dunking people as Azmodan
Carson Adams
yeah but blizzard isn't making good games anymore and they used to so theyre worse.
Robert Harris
>Riot has a 100% rate of making shit games >Blizzard has made two shit games in the past 17 years >Riot bans players for not playing the game correctly >Riot bans players for causing "triggers' >Riot bans players for beating their moderators
>Somehow Blizzard is the worse company ???????????????????????????????
Gavin Cook
but blizzard character designs suck, riot designs are more anime and cool, blizzstuff is too westaboo and shitty, like all their demons are overly buff or fat monsters with horns and spikes.
Kayden Fisher
>>Riot bans players for not playing the game correctly >>Riot bans players for causing "triggers' >>Riot bans players for beating their moderators
Yeah as if blizzard wouldn't do the same.
Bentley Richardson
>Riot has a 100% rate of making shit games
Yet that shit game is the biggest esport on earth, meanwhile hots has no tournies cuz no pros wanna play that trash and no one wants to watch 15 minutes of mindless teamfights with poorly animated attacks with no impact
Joseph Kelly
This is shitposting, right? Like I thought we were having a conversation, but are you praising Riot Games, an American company, for being weeb losers while insulting Blizzard, another American company, for actually basing their designs off western fiction?
Colton Brown
Lets just say Blizzard would do the same
>Riot's only game is shit >All of Blizzard's games are good if you have the latest expansion
Henry Lee
Not everyone plays games to measure their lifes worth user, just because it requires "skill" doesnt mean its enjoyable to sit and play, not everyone is into MLG shit, they want to jump on and goof around.
You might have actual real autism if you dont understand that people can like things you dont like and for their own reasons that dont apply to you. Again, stop seeking validation from people you dont know, you responded to your own thread agreeing with yourself for fuck sake.
Camden Mitchell
Riot's designs are cooler looking, their females are way sexier and more badass, and their demons and undead stuff look creative. Hecarim and Thresh shit all over stuff like necromancer and the lich king, and vayne and lucian are way cooler looking and more fun to play than valla.
Joshua Williams
>Muh esports I guess your favorite game is shit too because it doesn't have 12 year olds on Twitch watching it
Aiden Hernandez
Ok fine, lets say the game is fun. Why would you choose to play it when the company that made it is so shit and anti gamer? Look at WoW, the head guy in charge of pvp purposely makes it shit, fakes giving a fuck about feedback and even makes fun of the players on twitter and shit. Playing Hots is supporting people like that. I don't care how fun a game is, you gotta be pathetic to play a game made by people like that.
Eli Bailey
I want you to know that I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I disagree heavily enough with yours that I just don't want to continue this conversation. Like I'm going to start doing ad hominem attacks at this rate.
Asher Taylor
Can I have some examples, genuinely curious now.
Carson Gonzalez
>Bronze level player makes retarded tweet @ Dev >Dev calls him out for being a bronze dumb fuck >Somehow Devs being based is bad Spotted the Leaguebaby. The real world isn't a hugbox, faggot.
Cameron Moore
I literally do not give one fuck who makes the game and all the drama going on in forums that I dont go to, if its fun to play Ill play it.
This asshole ruins an entire class spec because "I don't want people to play it". Imagine if Riot nerfed all assassins because "I don't want people to play these champs".
Jack Thompson
>valve seems like an alright company. Valve is the worst of the three.
Bethesda I can respect because they don't give a fuck if you like their product. They make what they want despite the bitching of their fans, because they know at the end of the day what will sell. Scream and piss your pants in a rage all you like, but they were right with the "you think you do, but you don't" line.
Valve though? If they're not ripping off Bethesda assets, they're refusing to publish games, or trying to steal and monetize mods, or swamping everything with DRM or locking people from their Steam accounts or suing their customers for giving bad reviews. And let's not forget the whole Valve killing Troika too.
Wyatt Brooks
>I don't give a fuck that I'm giving hours of my life to a game made by a company that supports vile trash
Landon Diaz
>Out of context quote which is just a cheeky joke >Mouth breather >Bandicam >Low quality >Doesn't have most of his shit keybound Huh really makes me think
Jackson Anderson
That is what Riot does. Riot nerfed all stealth characters for an entire season until they got around to reworking them back in season one
Sebastian Nelson
Hots is on a shit engine that melts graphics cards
Nicholas Brooks
Yes, but did you mean to quote me? Because that has nothing to do with my post.
Jace Martinez
>valve seems like an alright company >nobody saw through the bait Nice one op, you are still a faggot though
Blake Scott
Thats right user, I dont, I play it, have fun and leave, I dont look into the company that made its backstory and financial history, and cruise the forums and their twitter 24/7 looking for drek. If a game is fun its fun. Stop looking at the companies actions and look at the game itself.
Isaac Rodriguez
>the assfaggot subhuman tries to feel superior to other assfaggot subhumans
lmao
Jaxson Wilson
I know, play at your own peril
Brayden Harris
Yeah well now you know the truth about the company, so stop playing the fucking game. Ignorance is not an excuse you can use now.
Jackson Brown
user, you dont understand. I dont care. >Ill stop playing a game I enjoy because the company said X >the gameplay is suddenly null and void and is no longer a factor in my enjoyment Look at the game and only the game, that is what actually matters.
Evan Thompson
How about having some principles? Would you still eat steak from a restaurant that was known for torturing children? Even if the steak tasted amazing?
Michael Cox
>Food metaphors So you're one of those idiots who stopped eating at Chik Fil A because they were against gay marriage, aren't you?
Christopher Peterson
>playing a bootleg dota 2
that's just sad, you can play the real skeleton king in dota, not in hots
Jason Fisher
Sup Forums is an 18+ website user

Andrew Torres
>valve seems like an alright company ?
Cooper Peterson
since when did Sup Forums hate valve wtf
blizzard is our enemy guys
Thomas Cruz
>people will play HotS
Yeah fucking right. That thing is beyond dead.
Liam Phillips
>food metaphor They dont apply to everything user. Did you know that Hugo Boss designed the clothing of the Nazis? Does that make Hugo Boss clothing look any less good looking now that you know this?
Dominic King
I would
Thomas Gray
I know this is way off topic, but Nazi uniforms really did look fantastic, especially the SS officers.
Jonathan Martinez
>valve seems like an alright company
Nathan Robinson
Wouldn't be caught dead wearing their clothing. I have principles. Now go play hots, and support blizzard pissing and shitting down your throat.
Kayden Mitchell
Hugo didn't design anything. His company was just tasked with making them
Dylan Long
>Skeleton King >dota
Benjamin Sullivan
Well the only time you'd be caught wearing any clothing is dead anyway since you never leave your apartment.
Julian Rogers
well you could play a real esport instead of dota
Nolan Lee
Valve haven't made any game in fuck many years, everything they done in past four years was using players as slaves to make cosmetics that generate most money for Valve
Colton Martinez
>these same people will play HotS Wrong Nobody plays HotS
Dominic Williams
but that doesnt stop dota 2 from being the superior game
Logan Cook
superior in what sense?
Chase Clark
>moving goalpost retard, talk was about Valve being worse than Rito and Blizzard
Blake Rogers
>Every single wow expansion after WotLK >Diablo 3 and its expansion >Starcraft 2 and both expansions >HotS >Overwatch >2
Jack Davis
Bethesda is shit
Wyatt Long
Valve made the best game, that makes them the better company since they are game companies
Leo Davis
no, they actually designed it There is a reason why the nazi uniforms were that good looking
Joseph Gonzalez
What's wrong with MoP, Diablo 3 RoS, SC2 vanilla and Overwatch?
Christian King
He was a member of the Nazi party and funded the SS, its actually how he got the job in the first place, he was an activist. Thought user was right, he didnt FULLY design the uniforms, there was military advisement to add pockets, which dont normally go on a suit.
Hudson Thomas
>Though he claimed in a 1934–35 advertisement that he had been a "supplier for National Socialist uniforms since 1924", it is probable that he did not begin to supply them until 1928 at the earliest Just the supplier. And not even the original one. When he was hired, it was a family business that made cop uniforms
Michael Wright
nothing, he is just a shitposter
John Stewart
>these same people will play HotS Except there are a lot fewer people playing hots, and they dont behave like cancer on average.
> which supports a company way worse than Riot There is no company worse than Riot, and by extension Tencent, you goon.
Gavin Sullivan

John Richardson
>20 minutes queuing time >unironically has less players than a FUCKING SMITES Lmao defend this blizzdrone

Nice bait.
Kevin Cook
The games is literally dull gameplay and badly designed, nothing to see here besides getting your Genji's skin.
Jacob Hill

>blizzard isn't making good games anymore and they used to so theyre worse >Someone who made good games but stopped is worse than someone who did not make good games but ruins the industry day by day, month by month and is also a terrible and abusive workplace.
William Long
Dota 2s marketshare is way bigger than hots, this chart is fake as fuck
Nicholas Bennett
Riot only needed to make one good game, and they did. And it's the best game in the genre and the best competitive game of any genre.
Lincoln Stewart
You are trying to make a rational point with having "I like x more" as your sole argument, you realize this?
Dominic Phillips
I know nothing about wow, I've never played it and never will. The head guy of hots is dustin browder, he seems like a cool guy and is very passionate about his work The devs listen to the community and the game has only improved since release, why wouldn't i support them?
David Brooks
LoL's character designs being better is a factual statement, not opinion. A lot of work went into making those designs something people would want to play and it worked. I'd rather play as this than lame ass designs like illidan
>purple elf on steroids with animal body parts slapped on
wow so badass
Camden Reyes
Riot made cancer, not game
Parker Morales
Because supporting them also supports ion hazzikostas and enables him to get paid to ruin wow pvp
if hots must suffer, then so be it, it's a casualty of war
Mason Rodriguez
I don't think I've hated a character anymore than I do Sgt. Hammer.
Tyler Parker
All dota heroes are free. >but muh hats It's beyond any comparison.
Carter Peterson
Because of AAA publisher making absolutely garbage like 2K made a Overwatch knock-off Battleborn. Doesn't it mean, it's a better game.
Xavier Butler
As someone who played LoL, moved to Dota 2 and played some Hots, I'd rather play Dota because at least I don't have any obligation to do hoops for currency that lets me buy heroes. And runes for LoL. But the matter of LoL vs Hots is a tricky one. I guess Hots wins for me, because instead of LoL I can play Dota, but Hots is rather unique with focus on team objectives/team fights and lack of farming of any kind.
Thomas Turner
but lol has waifus, hots doesn;t
Zachary Perez
Also, LoL is played year after year as bruiser/tank top, ability based mid, AD carry and support bot, and jungler.
Henry Perry
Thing is I don't know who ion hazzikostas is and I don't give a shit about wow pvp Guilt by association is probably not the best criteria to choose which games to play What the hell are you even talking about?
Hunter Martinez
But you do know who he is after I showed you that video. Yet you still wish to play hots, that makes you a cuck.
Dominic King
She's the best though
Logan Cruz
Isn't clear, Of course if it wasn't made by Blizzard, i actually doubt people are willing to play this game. Like water-down of League, even more water-down of Smite. Literally game likes Smite is remotely challenging than this hot garbage
Jackson Ramirez
Did that guy just imply the stronk women of Hots is ugly? I go necrophilia for Sylvanas 10 days a week.
William Price
IDK, Hots is pretty different and fun. Blizz is also pretty generous with free heroes
