Oh there they are...

RAGE!!!!!

So, after loading it up on my phone (damn those long URL's and filters at work) they have to either buy coins or play a ton of games.

At which point they should have the skill to be acceptable - skill as in not insta dying after 4 seconds, but as that happens to people now we all know that's bull.

The access to a small pool of heroes, that you can only expand by buying them all is a shame for the new accounts and I'm surprised it's happened so quickly, I guess LoL and TF2's recent move to F2P has shown that it can work aand will have a massive increase in player base.

Right decision - only S2 can answer that and only then at some point in the future.

LAWL

Comments make me lol:

"I was a cheapass before being a cheapass was mainstream. I fashioned myself a pair of thick-rimmed hipster glasses out of a cardboard box."

Sigh...

After this I dont see any reason for playing LoL over HoN.

people generally don't play LoL because you have to buy HoN!

thats just daft, i reckon its more to do with the fact HoN is more competitive/hostile and a much harsher curve of entry to the ass
and the fact that a lot of LoL players have already spent bloody shitloads of money on their LoL accounts


personnally tho I dont play HoN because Towers dont there shot you.

Towers shoot you, just dont 2 hit you.

And im talking bout new players more than LoL veterans.
