Oh, no.

People willingly swallowed up everything from Riot. There was a bunch of problems: servers, stability, bugs, toxicity, random bans, balance. It was simple - there was only DotA and for LoL player it's very unappealing. So, only choice: to play or not to play.

I tried Smite, Strife and Smite was totally bad, Strife probably better, but too marginal.

But HotS is totally different story. I won't advertize HotS for free, so no more discussion about.
