I don't want to spark up any unnecessary debate or derail the topic, but how come you guys only ever report on League of Legends news? I mean, Heroes of Newerth went free to play a few days ago (which is a pretty big deal, I think) and you guys didn't even throw it a mention.
I even submit one of those letter things to tell you guys about it, I figured it was worthy enough news. A new game mode is wicked news but the game's rival going free to play isn't? I smell fanboyism afoot at the Escapist office!
And yes as you can tell by my avatar, I am infact, a butthurt fanboy. I'll save you the trouble of humiliating me for it and openly admit my freaky fanaticism to the game I love.
Gonna have to agree with him on this one. HoN (in my opinion) is the far superior game. There is so much stupid stuff in LoL that it baffles me that people continue to play it.
Thats just my opinion, but as a news source...you guys should show a little less bias and actually report on competitors too...
Not exactly my point. I'm not arguing as to whether one game is better or not, they appeal to different crowds.
What I am annoyed about, however, is the fact the Escapist seems to deliberately avoid reporting news on Heroes of Newerth. Not one single piece of news on HoN, not even one.
They give us some bullshit news about a pony robot that can move two steps forward and has an Axe deoderant can and a lighter taped to its mouth, but they don't want to report on the game they keep praising's biggest competitor?
I'm not one to assume conspiracy, but something stinks here. And some kind of explanation would be nice.
I mean the game has gone FREE TO PLAY for christ's sake. You've certainly given us news reports on some random, obscure indie game that has gone F2P. If that ain't some sort of news, I'm a gentleman hippopotamus.
