Aurelion Sol copied from Dota 2

I'm no Dota expert but Aurelion Sol's passive and W seem very similar to a skill I saw when watching the Shanghai majors.

Also Aurelion Sol's Q is basically Anivia's Q.

Heroes of Newerth had Calamity which was being designed before "Io" or "Wisp".

DotA 2 copied so much from HoN that it's hilarious that anyone can claim DotA 2 is being copied by anyone.

First of all your argument is wrong.

NO ! Dota 2 did not copied Io from Heroes of Newerth. Why ? read up some facts below.

Hero Name: Io Hero Class: Guardian Wisp

Io was first seen on Dota 1 under DotA v6.68 map which has been released on the 28th Jul 2010 @ 06:03 AM. He was released along with Thrall (Far Seer), Eradar (Shadow Demon) and Gyrocopter (Aurel Vlaicu). How do I know this ? because I was f*king playing DOTA way back then. And only DOTA is the most popular MOBA that time, while League of Legends is still in taking it's baby steps.

Guess what !? your so called Calamity was released under HON patch 3.6.0 which has been made official on the 15th of December 2014 @ 10:56 AM.

Mate, Defend of the Ancient (DOTA) was first released on 2003 and I started playing around early 2006 ( i was 11 ) and I can tell you this .. game is f*king great. So please get you facts straight, DOTA 2 is an upgrade of DOTA and there no reason to talk shit about it.

Just to make it clear I am NOT saying that DOTA/DOTA 2 is better than League of Legends or League of Legends is better than DOTA/DOTA 2. Both DOTA and Leauge of Legend are great games, (do I have enough experience to prove this?) Yes, I played DOTA since 2006 until mid 2012 then I switched to League of Legends (Singapore) Mid season 3 (2013) then played both DOTA 2 and League of Legends during 2014 and 2015. So I think I made my point valid through to my experience.

So next time mate get your shit right before you post anything about other games that you don't know of.

(why am I doing all this ?) I grew up with DOTA and i loved the game, I'm pretty sure you wont be happy if someone talk shit about something you love right ?

I wish this one will be a lesson for you :)

All of that is easily dismissed by one simple point; Icefrog was one of the primary developers of HoN. I was specifically talking about DotA 2 , so nice try, but you fail.

So what if Icefrog is "one of the primary developers of HoN" ? That's not the point.

You said "Heroes of Newerth had Calamity which was being designed before "Io" or "Wisp"." , which is where I proven you wrong. I failed? can you please emphasis a bit more ? I just made it clear that Dota 2 did not copy Io from HON, because DOTA 1 has Io .. so why not have him on DOTA 2 ?

lol why even mention the Icefrog here ? He's the one who made Io from DOTA 1 and So please tell me, how did your argument succeed ? DOTA 2 is just an upgrade of DOTA 1, simple as that.

PS: Don't forget, Icefrog worked for Valve and developed DOTA 2. I'm not sure if he's still there tho.

That is precisely the point.

Who do you think made (TFT) DotA? Who do you think was responsible for DotA 2 ?

You said "Heroes of Newerth had Calamity which was being designed before "Io" or "Wisp"." , which is where I proven you wrong.

Incorrect.

Once again, my Icefrog card trumps your flimsy nonsense.

Don't forget, Icefrog worked for Valve and developed DOTA 2

That was entirely my point.

Epic fail.

I don't really understand what are you on about ?

you said ...

"Heroes of Newerth had Calamity which was being designed before "Io" or "Wisp".

DotA 2 copied so much from HoN that it's hilarious that anyone can claim DotA 2 is being copied by anyone."

And I have proven that Icefrog made Io before Calamity .. can you please explain in which point i did get this wrong or "incorrect" ?

I know Icefrog is legend and I know that Icefrog helped to develop DOTA, HON and DOTA 2 but .. I don't really understand where are you going on this.

You quoted my sentence "Don't forget, Icefrog worked for Valve and developed DOTA 2" and said "That was entirely my point."

I just don't get how "DotA 2 copied so much from HoN that it's hilarious that anyone can claim DotA 2 is being copied by anyone." became "That was entirely my point."

PS: I dont want a fight or anything and I don't really know where this discussion is going o.O

Edit: If you can provide me some source that would be great, Thanks.
