Go and play League of legends.

http://www.leagueoflegends.com

I'm playing it since 2 weeks now , the action there is very fast paced.
Today in a game of COH everything seemed rather slow for me and i was able to pull out some  BBQWTFMICRO , ending up with minimal losses.

LoL is not micro. Just like HoN is not micro.

you control 1 character (and maybe some minions on some characters) but this game type is to Micro what autism is to children.

thx for the clearup brn,

i thought the same after i saw the trailer on that website.

thats what you think


with 1 character you have to pay more attention  than with 5 in COH mainly because the action is much more faster

Win.

Don't every company say "It's the best multiplayer ever", lawl. *troll*

[CafeMilani]

[nugnugx]

lolollolol

id like to think eir is more micro intensive. observe

Micro tank to kite infantry out of range of ATG. moving mortar to counter ATG's and enemy mortars while constantly repositioning. Crawling your ATGS up with the cover of your infantry, flanking with your infantry while your mortar is pelting there support weapons and moving your tank up when the ATG is down.

in a span of 30 seconds
seems faaaaaar more micro intensive than.

look, i have a hero. i will attack that guy, oh look im dieing i will retreat to gain hp again. rinse and repeat  

[Pak88mm]

kinda stupid way just go play VCoH 1v1s.

[nugnugx]

you neglected the main fact Demon  - speed of gameplay, when i play EIR now it's feel like half-speed of what i have in LoL and thus i make decisions faster
If you would play over 80 games like i had by now , you would see that "i will attack that guy, oh look im dieing i will retreat to gain hp again." is not true.

but meh , i'm not here to convice anyone of anything , you don't want to take an hint ? your choice , i'll just keep the leet tactics to myself.

[Demon767]

well speed is another factor in the equation, but its certainly not the main. e.g How fast you can click your button to shoot someone in CS. doesnt make it more micro intensive.

well i have my own opinion. pretty sure your not going to convince me on that.
hate games like this anyway

[LeoPhone]

i still doubt playing a complete different game makes you better at EIR.

i mean... if you want to get better at eir, maybe you should play eir? sounds pretty efficient to me.

Games like Dota,LoL,HoN are indeed more micromanagement intensive that CoH so guys please learn your terms

however I'm not saying playing a Aeon of strife gametype will make you better at a macro intensive game.

And demon it isn't as simple as that,I could say CoH is all about "I will attack and when i drop down to 1 guy i will retreat and reinforce Rise and repeat "

But it's not :O

You have aspects like item builds,hard counters,soft counters,going up againts nukes,upping up on magic armor if you are going up against nukes,and other retarded shit like that. I don't know about LoL tho i'm a HoN fan.

Also try soloing 5 people with Sand Wraith you'll find out that pretty fucking micro intensive.

[gamesguy2]

Hon teaches you how to micro one unit extremely well.

But the number of people that fail at Ophelia just shows that most people in that game can't even micro four units.

LoL is pretty much the same (but better) and it's free.

Demon said CoH was more micro then LoL/HoN. CoH is pretty lax when it comes to micro.

however traditional RTS games are way higher on micro then LoL/HoN. WAY HIGHER. just try playing either Starcraft. or any of the C&C games(anything Westwood era anyway) All the Warcrafts are also micro intensive.

About the only micro challenge in HoN for me is ophelia. and she is "Tab->Q, Tab->Q, Tab->Q"

I should get my Belgian friend(not Unknown) to dig up a starcraft match where the guy peaks his APM during a battle to 11 Actions per second

Just because you're clicking doesn't mean you're doing something
I don't know how APM are counted tho in starcraft D:

And Akra i'm a slut for graphics and LoL has shitty graphics

Starcraft APM is hugely inflated.

If you group select 12 units and right click once, that's 12 actions.  If you hit A and then click, that's 24 actions.  When was the last time you blob moved 12 units at once in CoH?
