Daniel Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 hello everyone as most of you can guess, i'm really new to moba/dota/whatever they are called games, so as i heard that this game is based on games like dota and lol, and i would really like to try those, so if anyone can tell me what heroes they like and why? and mabye a nice general build for new players and so on, the more info you give the better. i think i understand the basics since i've been playing this game for a while now, so i would like to try other games. thank you for your feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhaleTits Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 aos has the lowest game quality of all moba type games (hence forth referred to as action RTS games), mainly due to the lack of matchmaking, how young it is, and the fact it is a game within a game. Originally, AoS was named SoTIS, and was very VERY similar to Dota - a Warcraft 3 Mod. Heroes like Boros, and Dustin, are/were almost direct ports of Dota heroes (Juggernaut and Tinker). Likewise, the map used to be much closer to the Dota map As time has progressed, AoS has become closer to a hybrid between Dota and LoL, with fairly unique heroes and some unique items - though many have clear Dota or LoL counterparts. Dota is considered highly competitive - it is very difficult to master, and much less newbie-friendly. LoL is also highly competitive, but has a very casual player base. Both games have much move developed metas, and many, many more heroes. However, the same basic game mechanics apply: you have your different hero roles: tank/intitiator/carry/spell caster/support, and 3 lanes and a jungle, with towers and barracks/suppressors/inhibitors that, when destroyed, spawn mega creep to help push down the enemy Ancient/ArtifactTemple/Nexus. That being said, each game still has its own unique flavor. Dota2 is simply a remake of Dota, and will include new features in the future - the move was due to the aging/limitations of the WC3 engine (correct me if i'm wrong shab/chop/brew/tung/etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banzaiguy Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 aos has the lowest game quality of all moba type games (hence forth referred to as action RTS games), mainly due to the lack of matchmaking, how young it is, and the fact it is a game within a game. Well that's not entirely true if you count the other custom game MOBAs from WC3 and SC2. DotA wasn't the only MOBA in Warcraft, and there's plenty of other less popular MOBAs in Starcraft as well(like hero attack and city of tempest. Well, I'm not sure whether HA is less popular now but it's still terrible imo). But yea, if you compare it to the major MOBA games like LoL, DotA 1/2 and HoN(maybe? I'd imagine DotA 2 hitting its popularity hard since both strive to be similar to DotA)it's of lower quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
