Yeah I was really hoping the game would be good but it truly looks like a pile of steaming dogshit. Not to mention those cosmetic pics that have been coming out in recent weeks... you serious blizzard? Way to completely shit all over your own goddamn warcraft 3 artstyle that contributed to dota's awesomeness.

I normally don't care about lore and stuff. But seeing Lich King on a fucking Unicorn is too much, even for me.

Ember Spirit really needs to not stop commands on him when he uses the spirits. Like if you are queued up to hex him the command is lost when he zips away even a little bit.

It's not this siege tank. Not interested.

Actually, while we're at it, where's the Siege Tank hero, IceFrog? And the Mortar Team hero?

I'll give heroes of the storm a try, I don't expect to get hooked on it though.

I think Dota 2 is like WoW for me, once I'm done playing it there won't be another game in it's genre that can reel me back in.

So who's considered the best mid these days? Mushi? Dendi? S4? RTZ? FATA?
Click to expand...

Whoever Reddit has a hardon for that week.

I think the issue is that all of them excel at different things. If you look at raw stats I think Dendi beats out most mids; S4, Mushi, Iceiceice etc.

I'd say Dendi for aggression, RTZ for precision, S4 for positioning/map movement and Mushi has the ability to transition the best into late game I think.

I think Dendi considers Mushi the best mid, he always mentions him as the hardest one to play against.

I've had people bugging me to socialize with them and shit, I mean talk about rude don't they realize I'm on #theroadto4K jeez. If I could turn Dota into a drinking game I'd be able to play more than one match a week.

Didn't Mushi beat him 1on1 in TI3?

Thanks dude.

Also, I think Resolut1on is rising in the ranks of Solo mids. IceIceIce is of course excellent as well but isn't playing there now. Sing doesn't play the same style as many but he's damn good as well, and not just on Mirana and Ember even if those are what he is known for now.

Guys we need a standin mid for tonight, i've like finished ppl who i can ask. Preferably not below 4k since it's a pretty important spot for the team even if it's just 1 game.

Iunno Heroes looks like Dota but with way less emphasis on farming and more focus on teamfights
so it's basically 6.79 durrhurr
I could get into that as a less stressful alternative to Dota.

I believe so, but Dendi doesn't really fair well in 1v1s as a general rule and doesn't seem to take them very seriously. He says they're stupid and he always builds dagon and troll items rather than the stat items and necrobooks etc.

He has said that Mushi is the hardest to verse a few times though, and not just in relation to 1v1s.

I think it looks like Dota if you removed most of the mechanics, cut the map down to a fifth of the size, made the characters move at a third of their normal speed and added communism to the game.

It's alpha dawg they'll figure stuff out or not whatever you have to buy heroes so I prob won't play too much of it anyway.

I favour Team DK to beat Na'Vi at the moment.

My dream 8 for the ESL One tourney I'll attend:

1. Team DK
2. Vici Gaming
3. Na'Vi
4. EG
5. Fnatic
6. Alliance
7. C9
8. Empire

Truly the best teams in the world I think (in no order). I really hope for that to happen.

edit: Actually, IG are looking pretty hot at the moment as well.

But can we actually talk about this?



The only thing about Na'vi is that I feel they don't try their hardest all the time.

If Na'vi had alliance's determination they'd be unkillable.

.... and if they had alliance's off laner that'd help too.

Funnik's one of the best off laners tho

But yeah Na'vi is usually quite good, but sometimes they seem to not care and just go for YOLO dives
