They already have several hats from dota 2. They should pay this guy for doing their modeling work for them.

So I got an invite yesterday.
The text is hard to read and graphics are...unfinished I guess? Skeleton king is who I'm playing now cause the other skeleton guy was an archer. I don't know what I'm doing so I just kill the little soldiers and run when another hero comes. I played a little bit of LoL but I always got beat really badly and I hated how crazy OP mages were. I won 2 games and lost 1 because 2 people on my team left. The 2nd game I was the archer and I kept dying to that red sorceress, hated her, one spell lowered my health past half all the time!
I'm kinda clueless on how to play though.

Yep. With two different versions to play (testing and stable) the player base might be a bit segmented. I guess the testing version is essentially what we were on now, and the stable version is just a one-week delay of the testing version to iron out bugs.
Which will GAF play? The test version gets updates faster, and is essentially what we've been playing on up until now if I'm reading it correctly.
Update will also come out in the coming days, so just a bit longer!

Aww. Well at least there's an update actually coming this week still. Just treat this like Ursa week where we had to wait a bit longer.
And Botolf, the scariest thing about that picture is that Broodmother and Nerubian assassin being lovers IS ACTUALLY IN THE DOTA 1 LORE. OH GOD WHY

I don't see the real problem with it, they said they're doing it so it's easier to add features and whatnot without destroying everything. The vast majority of the userbase will play the [Test] version without a doubt. Most tournament players will probably be playing on the [Live] version. NOT a big deal at all. It's a lot like the [Current] and [Stable] versions of Dota 1.
I will be playing [Test] for the new heroes and I'm assuming most of GAF will, too.

the beta has it's own beta.... whut
Beetles and spiders, that's an unholy union man.
Still has. They do some bigger patches on PTR (public test realm) before adding it to the full game
But if I remember correctly this was implemented only after release so they wouldn't ruin the game with bad patches.

Team fortress 2 still uses this. I personally think it is silly to do during beta but great to do once the game goes retail. They better be sending a crap load more invites out because once they split the community it is gonna affect matchmaking wait times a lot.
Kind of a weird build for leshrac, ideally you want mana regen to be about 30/tick, just so you can keep your ult up while you spam your spells for aoe dps. Kind of odd to see leshrac take on a more passive role.
Hell, even Counter-Strike: Source still has this. I have it installed, I don't even remember the last time they updated that. They should just remove it really, think the last big update they did was their final one. Will be more focused on CS:GO now anyway.
The TF2 beta still gets updated once every few months, but still barely worth it, almost no servers up for it either.
I kinda understand for Dota 2 but still, wish there was an easier way. But if it means they can update faster and better it's fine.
I love how Furion became the father of his own brother and his actual wife fucked off elsewhere lol
LAWL Anub'arak is humping a giant spider as his wife.
Edit: Wow....Drow was raped wtf!
That's what happens when you go 1-7 the first 35 minutes.
It's not something you learn overnight. Don't give up so soon.

It's not like an FPS where you can make a quick judgement based on a little bit of gameplay. The more you learn about this game the more you will be hooked. It is crack. Stick with it, you will thank me later.
Natures Prophet is Antimages father and Invoker too?
its like a lineage of banworthy characters
and then he spawns Tiny and Tree because he can
We need some sort of balancing system though 
Games ended really fast haha
I guess it's their way of keeping the tournament version around without breaking everything.

The learning curve is waaaay overstated.
I went from literally never having touched a MOBA, to holding my own to dominating in a couple of days. And that's without even knowing how to create an AI match.
Once Valve gets that tutorial in, it's gonna be even easier.
It's an amazing game. Stick with it.

Not to take anything away from you or call you out or anything but who exactly are you dominating after just a couple of days of play?
He could be playing an easy hero and be on a good premade team against public teams. Regardless, that's good because learning all the quirks about the map is something very important in this game.
lol...
pretty sure its still one of the hardest games to be good at
with RTS coming in first
either you're a super gaming genius or you were playing against new players
