0 hours so far, but I hear it's easy to blow 100 or even 1000 hours with the depth and immersion of the game. I would be that guy that keeps modding my save to avoid blowing up my hard work in orbit ha :)

If we could keep crap out of the punch bowl that would be great.
Grats to Valve on the very needed fix.

This looks like it could draw me in, the graphics look great, if the gameplay and story are captivating I would love to have freshly baked 2016 AAA games, my wallet on the other hand advises I keep my senses ha :P, we'll see which one of us wins out.
This Heroes of Newerth benchmark video shows SteamOS as the clear winner

This is actually one reason that League sucks because when you're a high level riot matchmaking pits 1-2 high levels and noobs against the same level team.
In DOTA, a single player who gets enough gold can avalanche really easily after executing several tp ganks well.
This is because of the many superior mechanics in DOTA, like the consequence of gold loss on death, Stuns and Knockups last much longer in DOTA and the Death Timer in DOTA keeps you dead much longer which is balanced with every hero being able to buyback from death once every so often.
Of course League would attract trashy troll players, 99% of the characters are as close to anime porn as you can get, of course teens and tweens are moody and toxic. With DOTA this is not nearly as big a issue.
Once again superior game mechanics suchas being able to mute other players, pause the game when you need to go use the toilet quickly.
The only animosity you'll find on DOTA is if you are below the age of 20 and have a headset on as DOTA players tend to have a higher median of about 30 years old and hate on teens to keep them away from their precious kid-free game.
This is no infomercial - if you play league please don't play DOTA. It's hard. You will suck for a while as you get used to new things like fog of war and turn rate mechanics, and the courier, etc... etc... etc..
I just find it funny to be on a Linux blog and see MOBA info generalised about a game that's Windows only. HoN errs more on the side of DOTA, if you want LOL on Linux try Strife on Steam by the same people who make HoN.

Quoting: KeyrockThe structure of MOBAs is such that no single player can carry a game all on their own.You just let the cat out of the bag that you play League and not DOTA, your statement is true in League, but in DOTA I've seen a single player wipe out the enemy team many times.

Quoting: ZeloxHmm well you seem to have the experience then. But I have to say there are rarly flamers now a days.Y`all do know that in League of Legends they disabled All Chat right, so the communications by default are only from your team. Not to mention that players make lots of new accounts to take advantage of the bad matchmaking system and noob stomp the lower levels for fun right? Just checking. :\
How to tell what Steam games work on Linux & SteamOS, steamplay does not mean Linux support

I think Linux users generally tend to be towards the top of the chart when it comes to being smart.
That said, I think most Linux users using Steam are aware of SteamOS and associate the SteamOS icon with Linux fairly quickly.
I actually prefer that it stay the way it is as it would be more proper to use distribution logos like Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, OpenSUSE, etc... (than a Tux icon as Linux is a kernel and comes in many shapes and sizes similar to how PC means Linux, Mac, Windows, FreeBSD, etc...)
However, having a myriad of kinds of Linux logos would be silly and turn off developers rather quickly. So 1 Commercial Linux spearheading the conversion to me seems like excellent business logic to me to say to developers - hey just support this 1 Linux and it'll most likely run on the other 200 Linux distributions.
How annoying would it be to see a OpenSUSE or Arch logo only to find that the game only runs on Debian or Ubuntu. Obviously Linux distrubtions are more alike now in 2016 than in the past but I think that's a fair scenario.
The dumb masses don't even know that Android is Linux, or Mercedes or a billion other things they use every day - efforts to educate them about how cool we are will most certainly fail as they are defective.
