There are some heroes that I just can't bring my self to play it, SF and SS. I am just to scared to play them, hmm Meepo for that matter as well, though I love to play Chen.
Well, if you are into that super fancy stuff. You could buy like 10 hats, or two full fledged suits.

I know, but at least in LoL I would be out of the trench for like $100. I could level up twice and buy 3 boosters with the summer coupon sale. Dota is just trench4lyfe.
And cosmetics don't impress trench russians and trench peruvians. You buy a golden rosh and people be like where is the courier. Fuckit I'll buy another one.
I'm pretty sure the LoL Trench extends up to at least gold, and likely includes lower Gold Ranks. That would cost a bunch of cash, like $300. And you likely have dunning kruger so you would just get tossed back down, while LoL may give you your fancy gold icon that can't be taken away, it has no problem tossing you in with the Silver and Bronze players.

What's with all the ragey quitters in the game lately? Is Valve going to do something about it?

You mean aside from already punishing them with isolation?
Abaddon?

You don't get to 4 million "active players" [cough smurfs, cough spambots] without making a few rage quitters.
No, Adabbon

Man I miss my Asian Dota already. Something nice to watch when I can't sleep. Usually I start out more alert, then close my eyes and just listen, eventually turning it off when I feel myself slipping.

What are the benefits of hero denying? Does the other team get any experience or assist gold if you get denied? Also does the dead hero still lose the same gold? And is it possible to deny someone when the spell wasn't actually going to kill them but just leave them very low? (This last part makes me worry about trying it unless someone asks me to directly, which people don't do in pubs because communication is teh hard.)
They lose gold but the enemy team gets no gold or XP
You can only deny heroes when theye under certain effects though, like Dooms ult/ Venomancers Gale/QoPs dagger etc
You can have creeps kill you or self deny with Bloodstone. I did the latter by accident once. Surprised the hell out of me.

I know, I think I was omniknight (yea I know, such a good lane too!) so most of the stuff got healed but it was truly awful.
And couldn't he at the very least buy the damn energy booster in the side shop.
Yeah, I think that is only since the 6.78 patch, so since a month or so?
Yes, correct
Noticed something interesting about silencing Riki. I tested this with Puck and Riki. Silence makes him visible, but does not stop the fade time. What do I mean by that? Take this example.
Permanent Invisibility has a fade time of 3 at level 1. Waning Rift at level 3 silences for 2.25 seconds. If you silence Riki (assuming he has not revealed), then he will fade in .75 seconds. On level 4 Waning Rift, this means he would fade instantly after the silence ends.
Is this intended to work this way? I assumed silencing the ability meant that it cannot begin to activate (fade time). How exactly does the ability work where silence reveals but does not stall fade time, yet silencing will not reveal any other invisibility (except Sandstorm, but that is channeled, so that makes perfect sense)?

Have you tried with other silences? If it works the same way then an orchid silence would have instant fade, assuming that Riki doesn't attack.

Dota 2 is industry review proof, whereas most games you need to suck off review sites, build hype, plant buzzwords with exclusives, interviews, pre-builds and studio tours - Valve skipped everything and gave it to the public directly. No pay reviewer has 100-1000 hours to play this one game so either they have already played a tonne or they have given this to the interns or junior editors. Also it doesn't cost anything so Gamestop and traditional advertising console venues can't capitalize. Also scores are meaningless since it is already highly profitable 2 years before launch and queued to hell before any review was published. Valve has no incentive to pay for advertising/reviews or high-profile personalities to play the game for twitter/clicks.

If no one else wants to, or hasn't yet, I'll make it in a couple hours.
It'll be fun to read the poor reviews.

Do so!
A quick rant on the joys of the community.
Was in a 16 minute queue because I could only get time to play really late at night. I did a quick check of my team as we were loading in and, sure enough, huge win discrepancy between players.
Which was fine. I had an idea of who should be higher skilled than others. I grabbed a support since I'm still wide-eyed and wonder free to this game.
Well, the bitching actually started before the clock finished counting down. Leading the charge was the self claimed '1200 wins' QoP who couldn't believe that we lost despite farming a 16 minute Scythe in the middle lane.
It amazes me that people can play this game for so long and spend all their time complaining. Instead of just shouting at the (stupid) Alchemist why not... I don't know, try and gank his lane? Or go organize a sweep of the jungle and their two farmers in there? Or do something other than sit in your middle lane and farm? If by your own damn admission you are God's gift to Dota, why not use that skill or experience and try to help out the struggling or lower performing players on your team?
Alternatively, you can complain at people for thirty minutes and then convince yourself that all your loses are solely out of your control and you'd just win more games if it were for your 'god damn teammates.'
I feel comfortable that my report will go through on this one though.
