Seeing all this Eastern team beatdowns going on by Western teams has me hopeful that this year's TI3 isn't going to be an East owns West scenario again.

Thinking at a minimum Liquid, Alliance, Navi and Dignatas can get in the top 8.

I'm not even sure if Liquid or Dignitas could have out-qualified DD and Mouz if they didn't have an invite.

I'd put Fnatic, Mouz and Virtus Pro over Liquid and Dignitas.

Virtus Pro definitely...Dignatas maybe not...but Mouz hasn't shown me enough yet. Playing super well of course, but I don't think I've seen them play a top tier team lately.

Fnatic is great as well...always forget them.

Either way, West is looking good.

Alliance looks like the strongest team by far to me, they just seem to make so few mistakes and they capitalize on every mistake their opponent makes, and even if they're down by a lot they can easily come back

I played as Bane for the first time yesterday. I really liked him. 1 on 1 it seems like no one can kill him because of his disables(I had a fed Drow roll up on me and it was pretty easy to disable and run, also had a Nyx get the drop on me but I ended up getting the kill).

How viable is mid Bane?

Depends on your opponent.

Early Enfeeble will wreak havoc on any auto-attack hero's farm, like Drow, Anti-Mage, Lancer etc. Bane can easily get owned vs. stun/burst/immunity heroes tho, like Tinker, Slark and Lifestealer.

He's pretty good vs. Lifestealer, just probably not 1v1 as much as those other heroes.

it's not just the tree nerf not being enough though, it's just that ig played to accommodate it. early in the lane they only needed the mana drain from am and the burst from visage. living armor didn't do that much in the laning phase

also if we're talking about useless nerfs, might as well as bring up lifestealer too, which navi had. hero is still pretty imbalanced imo

Quick question, is there a way to swap hero's with someone in single draft? We suggested them but I don't know how to actually swap?

Lifestealer did fine. Held his own against OD mid. Top just lost so bad.

Or you could be a moba master race and play both.

either i didn't word that correctly or you're reading it wrong. the other poster was complaining about tree not being balanced and living armor needing a bigger nerf. lifestealer is just as imbalanced
Click to expand...

It seemed like you were using Navi having Lifestealer as a way to say "Ya, well Lifestealer is imbalanced too, and Navi had that." Though that doesn't make any sense as Lifestealer can't 1v5 a team of fed heroes, but Tree can put a lot towards those heroes getting farmed.

ig didn't win just because they picked tree. they could have had any other good trilane support there and still have won. navi had shit lanes. if anything, the od pick did a lot more damage to navi by forcing them to dual lane with a storm vs a trilane. but believe what you want

I didn't say anywhere that Tree won them the game. Not going to accomplish anything by clarifying my point anymore.

Since the 'lol mask' I made while trying to better undertand Blender ended up going further than expected, I wondered if I could get some opinion on it :

It's because of LoL that I didn't give dota a chance for a year until a friend nagged me for days into trying a few games with them.

I thought I hated everything about mobas but it turns out I just hated everything about LoL.
Played that game for 2 weeks before writing the genre off as tedious, laborious, akward and shit.

If that's the best defense of the game you can muster then I think I'm pretty satisfied with my opinion.

Or if you want to actually have a discussion I guess that'd be cool too.

i dont think you understand

the fact that nobody really joined into your attempted circle jerk should be really telling

edit: ok except stephan but hes always been kinda special
