The fact that more people play SOD can be explained by the simple inertia of thinking and the unwillingness (due to sheer laziness) to learn something new, even if it is much better.
After this statement, I think further arguments are pointless. It's an authoritative opinion, and there's nothing you can do about it:D

The fact that more people play SOD can be explained by the simple inertia of thinking and the unwillingness (due to sheer laziness) to learn something new, even if it is much better. Just an idea. But overall, sorry. This level of discussion is uninteresting. When someone says "it can be confidently stated," they are saying something that cannot be "confidently" stated based on the available information. I'm out of such discussions. It will turn into a banal flame war, "without coming to one's senses." Sorry, I misspoke. :D
You are wrong. I won the first Hota Tournament. I sat down, studied everything, and prepared thoroughly. But after the tournament, I stopped playing Hota. And I can say that it has nothing to do with laziness, but as they say, it's a completely different story. And Nitro is right, fewer players play Hota, and the strength of Hota tournaments cannot be compared with the tournaments that Nitro described (OnlyHL, FB, Favorites). You can only feel the seriousness and strength of a tournament by winning it; everything else is just empty talk.
LOL, I raised this issue a long time ago, suggesting that HotA shouldn't affect the ranking. Because some players (who play HotA) have an advantage over others (who don't play HotA) in terms of ranking (especially in seasonal rankings! where everyone starts with 1500 points - even the worst players, forgive me :D). Besides, the early stages of HotA tournaments are held, as I understand it, with a system where you choose your own opponent (and farm points).
You are mistaken. I won the first Hota Tournament. I sat down and studied everything and prepared thoroughly. But after the tournament, I stopped playing Hota. And I can say that it's not about laziness at all, but as they say, it's a completely different story.
Is there anywhere I can read this story? I don't think the essence of my question is criminal or disrespectful to anyone – where can I read the community's thoughts? Why can SoD be taken seriously when Hota exists? Hota has a list of more than one hundred improvements compared to SoD. There must be some weighty arguments to outweigh this list. There have already been discussions about this somewhere... I'm asking for a link to it, not to start this discussion here. And I'm asking for it because one specific participant (Nitro) in our discussion about Player of the Year expressed the idea (without any supporting evidence here) that Hota shouldn't be taken seriously. Well, it needs to be supported somehow. Maybe it's already been discussed somewhere?
HotA has a list of more than a hundred changes for the better compared to SoD.
First, answer the question: why are these changes for the better? Next, aside from OH, what is actually so great about HotA? But in this thread, a SoD vs HotA holy war is pointless. People are leading you to something else, not to furiously defend HotA, but rather: On HeroesWorld, there are 2 categories of tournaments: official and unofficial. All tournaments held under HotA are unofficial, therefore their value and prestige are significantly inferior to the official tournaments (Lubimchiki, FB, Only-HL, etc.) which are played on the SoD version. Play whatever your heart desires, SoD or HotA, it doesn't matter, but the value of official tournaments should in any case be many times higher

Let's not start a flame war... there won't be any benefit, only unnecessary arguments...
Regarding the topic - there is a rating system to determine the strongest player, and it fulfills its purpose. And the "Player of the Year" poll is more like a popularity contest, where everyone chooses their own criteria.
There were many HotA tournaments in 2016. But there was none with a format like the "Path to Olympus" tournament. That is, with a set of various templates and the possibility of starting with any town. Only Wizard OH stands out, where there were several templates. The tournament lineup is quite strong and even comparable to the Path to Olympus.
The Blitz Jebus Cross tournament also attracted many strong participants; in fact, practically all top Jebus Cross players took part in it. Well, a tournament with a blitz timer is obviously more challenging.
Strong players also took part in Diamond Masters; the only issue here is the small number of participants compared to SoD tournaments. However, the draw was based on rating, and there was no boosting of points against weaker opponents.
Tournaments for a specific town are insignificant. Their value is more for fun and statistics.
But in any case, tournaments are not won easily. In my opinion, the most successful this year were KobRa_RR and FireToSky, as they participated in a wide range of tournaments and reached the final stages. The year was generally marked by the rivalry between Kobra and FTS :D
Also Gomunguls, who participated, if I'm not mistaken, only in Only HL and OFB, which he respectively won and advanced to FB.
However, I think that the vote should be based on the player's successful results and their number.

I'll give Gomungulus a voiceover in advance, on the condition that he streams.

Regarding the topic at hand, there is a ranking system to determine the strongest player, and it fulfills its purpose. As for the "Player of the Year" poll, it's more like a popularity contest, where everyone chooses their own criteria.
Every year, I try to convey this information to people, but every time, they try to compare and calculate who has won more Tournaments, which Tournaments are top-tier, and which are worthless, etc.
I repeat, if the goal was to identify who won the most in 2016, there would be no need for a poll; you could simply count the results or estimate the ranking.
Added after 18 minutes Gomunguls
It's funny to watch how some choose based on the principle: "He hasn't won yet, let's give it to him."...as far as I'm concerned, the whole point of the Tournament is lost.
I take it this is a jab at me?))))))) you could add even more emoticons))))) it would be funnier)))))) Personally, I voted based on this principle, but that doesn't mean I voted for just anyone. Kobra performed very well as a player in 2016, and it's silly to argue with that. Seriously, I don't understand which Tournament you're talking about, the one whose meaning is lost? :confused: If you're talking about the nomination, then it's definitely not a Tournament, but a subjective poll. Some people vote for their friends (no :D).=Lizard=
Well, I voted for Reddi. He's just my friend:).
Nitro
I don't understand which "all" Tournaments Kobra won?:) Various HOTA Tournaments don't count because many strong players don't participate in them at all.
The fact that many players don't participate in HOTA Tournaments doesn't mean that only noobs play there, and winning this Tournament is worth nothing. Of course, you can't put a Tournament with 100+ people on the same level as one with 16, for example, but saying that they don't count is also wrong. Nitro
ONLYXL, FB, Lyubimchiki - these are the Tournaments that matter.
Am I understanding you correctly, that only Maretti, Gomunguls, and HellLighT should participate in the poll? Are the rest just trash? If we're talking, for example, about Lyubimchiki, then under certain circumstances, you can go far there without playing against any of the strong players.
No, honestly, I wanted Reddit to win the vote, but I voted based on the same principle as you – the greatest progress in gameplay over the past turn. In my opinion, it's LuckyF :).
Every year, I try to convey this information to the community, but every time, people try to compare and count who has won more tournaments, which tournaments are top-tier, and which are subpar, etc.
Maybe we should clarify the nomination title? For example, "Forum Member of the Year" or "Cobra of the Year."
