    Also, there is a cat on my lap. Its raining and the local house tiger usually decides that this pervasive wetness is an affront to the dignity of All (that is to say, him). Today though, he appears to be looking to commiserate rather than - via hissing and growling at the weather - proclaim his displeasure.

    I'm dead serious

    The vast majority of this stuff seems like glitches-turned-techniques and enshrined program limitations and complexity for the sake of complexity rather than anything resembling deliberately balanced game design.

    It's amateur
    Its really not.

    Denial of your own creeps means that its worth fighting over every single creep kill, rather than sticking to getting yours. In the case of melee heroes it forces, the heroes closer togheter, which makes it less of a PvE farmfest by involving more PvP. It adds tactical choices ("Do I prioritize denying or lasthitting?" where the answer depends on the lane composition and what hero you're playing).

    For towers, it provides a reason to not fallback, a reward for the team who might know that they will lose the tower, they still have a reason to stick around. It also forces the attacking force to actually finish a tower off. Again, the result here is more action - its incredibly common to see towers fall into deny range, followed by defensive ports, forcing the attacker to either withdraw, or risk getting caught but increasing his teams gold from taking out the tower. Denying towers increases the strategic benefit from fighting for each and every tower, even though the tower might be a guaranteed writeoff.

    Fuck knows about the secret shops though, I play HoN not DotA 2 and the "secret shop" only offers a source of paid regen and wards these days.

    Eating trees adds strategy and tactics involving the terrain - HoN has a ganking hero that can treewalk, breaking trees as he wanders ahead. Played well, its basically like someone with invis except its more annoying.

    I don't why there aren't couriers in LoL, but they help add decision value to what items you leave the base with, as well as not brutally fuck over supports be requiring them to run all the way home to get consumables.

    I have! I posted some gubbins about it in the film thread. Major spoilers:
    I loved lots of it and thought the bits where they redid scenes from Wrath of Khan were a major flub. I dunno how someone who hasn't seen the original would see those scenes, but for me they failed on about eighteen levels. The rest of it was pretty good, bar one or two stupid plot developments (I put my crew on torpedoes!).
