If he was capable of reading then he would know Hots is the first game to not include a surrender nor items to boost your hero like most copy paste mobas have been doing since day 1. Trying to build a uniqe game that dont follow the rules most moba players have been following and tried to move away from what the others did. Sadly most players are only used to what the copy paste games are doing so Hots ended up not being a successfull game cause the player audiance that want a game without surrender and items are too few.
People only want to play a moba with items cause thats what they have been doing for two decades now.
