Been playing Endless Legend. It's plays a lot like Civilization but at the same time, has many different twists to make it a different, but enjoyable experience.
It's hard to say which one is better, and given the huge prestige Civ have, this is a huge compliment.
Oh, and The International was great, but I feel the most picked heroes were picked all the time. Every match has QoPs, Shadow Fiend, Lina, Tusk and Gyro and because there was no split push or deathball strategy, the matches had a similar flow and feel.
Honestly, no matter how great the team fights were, this meta feel a lot like League of Legends.
