So this is the second part of my series of articles about the 3 biggest game in the MOBA/Action RTS genre and I have to apologize for not writing it earlier but I had my hands full with studying for my finals.

For those who want to read part 1: http://my.mmosite.com/2728988/blog/item/dotadota2_lol_hon_part_1.html

So in part 1 I wrote about the games, like how their gameplay is and how the ingameshops are and I need to add that Valve has announced and released their "Cashshop". Most important difference between this shop and the others is, that all heroes are free for everyone in DotA 2. For more information about the ingame store visit the Link below.

Gameplay

Let's start with LoL, which is I think the easiest of the 3 to get into and to learn. The gameplay is simple, there is not as much strategy involved as it is in the other gam

I have been playing the Heroes of Newerth since the closed beta. I had lots of fun and made some friends there, I saw many patches coming and going. But lately it seems there is something wrong with the game.

Free2Play

It all started when HoN went Free-to-Play (or maybe 1 month earlier). New patches brought nearly no content or bugfixes and with introducing the f2p they also added the hero category "Early Access". If you bought your account before the game was made free for everyone, you can play all heroes + all new ones, your account is an so-called "Legendary" one.

90% of the new heroes in the last 2-3 months were Early access ones. This means you can play the hero if u pay a certain amount of cashshop money (no option to buy it with ingamemoney), else you will have to wait about
