Thank you for watching!!!

To be fair, HOTS wasn't really even part of the race. Smite was more "on time" than HOTS. I do enjoy playing HOTS though because it is much simpler. I'm not a league player but I've played it some. I know more about dota than anything else but that game changes pretty drastically sometimes during major patches and it's hard to keep up.

[@Beyond_The_Nexus]

I know there where better picks for the 3 moba but I went with hots because blizzard was an important pillar in crating moba.

[@nocturnalverse5739]

@@Beyond_The_Nexus Yeah man. Great video.

[@Beyond_The_Nexus]

Thank you!!!!!

[@nunyabiznes7446]

... well I clicked on this video hoping to hear about how the race turned out and what made the difference. But I guess it's nice to recap how the competitors arrived at the starting line and then cut out right as the firing gun goes off ._.

[@Beyond_The_Nexus]

you know how the race turned out, Dota2 and Lol are giants and sadly Blizzard left HOTS to die

[@GameFactsSpecial]

I used to be so confused when I would get in Aeon of Strife matches in Starcraft.

[@Beyond_The_Nexus]

I get what you are saying, I was lost trying to record the footage that I needed of Aeon

[@BoneWalker]

6:59 My, how the times change.

[@Beyond_The_Nexus]

It's amazing to see how things evolve over time!

[@siz00r]

why are you skipping dota2's much better F2P model with no hero unlocks and only cosmetic shop...

[@itmetetri611]

Because its a lol focused channel.

[@Beyond_The_Nexus]

Riot Focused :P

[@Beyond_The_Nexus]

Both F2P models seem similar to me. Sure, you might need to grind more in LoL to unlock a few champions, but let's be honest, most players I know only play a few champions anyway. Unlocking 5 champions in LoL is actually pretty easy to do. The same goes for Dota 2. Back when I played, I mainly stuck with Lion and Venomancer.

[@Kallut1337]

This channel is giga glazing Riot, which is fine, it's his channel. @beyond_the_nexus They're not played the same. People don't one trick in dota the same way they do in league. Some support players do because they can afford it. they pick first and it's more important to counter pick with offlane (top), mid, and carry (adc). My dota friends has tried league and they can't stand not being able to try champions they just faced. They are at an uneven playingfield when other players have access to champions they don't. It stands to say that dota + is close to being p2w as well.

[@Beyond_The_Nexus]

A good way for Riot to fix this, is to implement a rotation system for the free campions like in hots. Also if you have an Xbox Pass and link your Riot account to that Xbox pass all the champions will be unlocked.

[@greenmenace]

I think it's interesting that we haven't yet seen much experimentation on the MOBA formula. One day I was playing Spyro 3, and wondered to myself what it would be like, to have control of a character like that in a MOBA lane, killing minions and trading dmg against a similarly controlled character on the enemy side.

[@Beyond_The_Nexus]

I think there ware a lot of experimentation on the moba formula, with games like Gigantic, Paragon and Battleborn just to name a few, but they all failed because one reason or another. As for spyro in a moba game the closest you can get imo is playing hots with deathwing

[@greenmenace]

@@Beyond_The_Nexus when I mentioned Spyro, I meant more as in the idea of a moba, where all players control characters from 3rd person perspective, with an analog stick or wasd, have a jump button, etc. No idea if it would work, or maybe its been already tested. I don't know.

[@Beyond_The_Nexus]

Oh in that case you should try Paragon. You play on a classic moba 3 lane map and you control your campion from a 3rd person perspective, kindda like a moba combined with overwatch

[@greenmenace]

@@Beyond_The_Nexus that sounds something like something I had in mind. Maybe I will, after I finish my current single player game, thx for the tip!

[@Beyond_The_Nexus]

What are you currently playing? I've started Dragon Quest XI

[@xdplayah]

omegalul hots XDD

[@Beyond_The_Nexus]

Hots is nice

[@lollz5852]

Riot is making a big mistake by not launchingwild rift in India for so long it's gonna cost riot the growth of the game .

[@Beyond_The_Nexus]

that's a shame
