Isn't that basically piracy?
So, no item mode? It would be pretty easy to just turn off all items, but by default it sounds boring.

Exactly. Just like HotS.
Just make it like Hots -- in addition to allotting skill points, everyone gets to pick one of three items to add to their inventory.

I thought you meant being able to buy items from anywhere on the map instead of going to shops. Would make fights a bit crazy.
see, the talent system in hots is legitimately cool. having a system like that in dota would be really interesting. you'd be able to empower one of your basic abilities every few levels, and at 6 you would choose between 2 different ultimates. all your abilities are available at level 1, and they all scale in power with your level
this is totally different than a no-items mode in dota, which would be a balancing nightmare and just boring

I recycled pieces of a bounty hunter set I got via drops in the old old old system because I didn't much care for how it looked
Traded in my 1000 coins, got that same set
Volvo why

Maybe that would be a good gimmick for an individual hero for Dota? Hard to balance but no more so than Invoker I would imagine.

If a hero can't buy items then what do you need gold for? The hero would either be op or useless, I don't see a middleground.
Maybe if his abilities were based around gold
See where I'm going with this?

Love me some good comeback, once they started high ground push the bodies started to pile up, almost got a rampage out of a 5 man echo slam too but pudge was too tanky.

A damn shame that more often than not players will give up early on if thing go sour for the team, there is always a chance to win the game, it's never too late to win.

At this rate, it would probably be for the better!

He's taken his sweet ass time with pre-existing heroes, I think it'll be at least a full year after all heroes are in Dota 2 before we even see hints of a new hero.

Next year some time, if we're lucky.
We won't get another hero until Halloween probably, with Pit Lord at that time. I very much doubt we'll get Arc Warden any sooner. It's actually a joke to consider that people have been speculating Pit Lord for Halloween for like 3 years.

It's not that bad, you pay more in areas where there are jobs that also pay more.
What a coincidence.

wtf steve stop taking me back to ten years ago
I think charmander gets an erection at :41
That's not exactly a true picture. A lot of places have a cost of living that are much more affordable with respect to the average or median income even though they're offering wages that pale in comparison to what you'd earn in NYC, Bay Area, etc.

Man blizzard is pretty shameless about cash grabbing.
I figured in hero league you'd get access to all champions but the champions don't level so you don't get cosmetics and such. Which makes complete sense to me.
In reality, it's even worse. The weekly free to play heroes aren't available in hero league at all.
Jumping to dota 2 custom games and will play HOTS if friends want only. THere are tons of little items missing not even worth mentioning.

yeah hots is actually a decently fun game and a nice departure from dota but the payment scheme just handicaps it imo--it's so fucking awful and an enormous barrier to entry, way more so than all of dota's "burden of knowledge"

Play CS for free and spend all your money on HOTS. Makes sense!

Valve's reign at the top ended in 2007. Every release since hasn't been up to their standards.

It is fun and i enjoy the quicker games that don't make me rage as much (due to less time invested).
With custom games, I expect someone to make a similar game in time.Just played overthrow. Wow that was fun! servers/hosting needs more stability.
