Probably stubbornness and familiarity.
EE is a guy who freaks out when the armrest of his seat at a tournament isn't just right.
Imagine trying to get him to change his habits on something as vital as a communication software for the team.

It's not for the voice comms, it's for the IMing. Everyone and every organisation uses Skype.
If i actually had some free time Id like to develop my own alternative. Alas I don't so yeah. Until we find an alternative that everyone is willing to switch to this will keep happening.
I actually tried to discuss the issue with Microsoft once but it was like talking to a brick wall. We did get one feature to help protect the users IP but that was bypassed weeks later.

Dota 2.
I was telling inkls yesterday, we came back from a 20,000+ deficit and made it dead even when our throne went down.
That was one of those fun games to lose.

tactical loss
Warm up game.
I had never played skywrath before. WARM UPPPP
There's no need to develop a solution, there are plenty of alternatives out there. The fact that people stick with Skype after all the issues it causes is just stupid.
Oh I'm sorry, I didn't think about that when I drafted him. I should have asked.

What does it provide as an IM client that makes it so desirable?
Who needs to throw when our Shadow Shaman had 0 tower damage all game and bypassed a blink dagger for an Urn and half of an aghs?
Dumbass.
It's the most popular.
SS is such a polarizing hero, there is no middle ground.
haha, i was the shadow shaman
my thinking at the time was that we were pushed way back into our base and had no mek at hand
so i'd go halfway and build an urn for some heals while using the rest of the gold to keep a steady supply of some aggressive wards on the map
but in hindsight a blink dagger would have gotten the team so many more opportunities at better engagements

I think they are partially sponsored by daily motion, but I find the streaming platform to be horrible, so I basically boycott them and refuse to watch or buy anything they produce until they change it.
no need to apologize. I love playing new heroes. I just think I boned up a couple of things because I don't know the ranges on his spells very well. Also I should have built a force staff and I should have been 5 on farm priority. Shaman needs items.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Ease of use and popularity, I'm guessing.Why aren't they using Mumble, Teamspeak or Ventrillo for VoIP comms?....

"Hey I won my last game with this exact build that I read from the top-rated guide on Steam. That means it's legit; if we lose it's somebody else's fault."

Most of them do but they still need Skype for the lobby passes, discuss issues with the organisers etc.Why aren't they using Mumble, Teamspeak or Ventrillo for VoIP comms?....

Because they use Skype for communicating with the entire community, none of those fill the same role.

It's more of a case of giving them a reason to switch. Imagine something like skype with steam integration, tournament ladders, brackets, teams etc. if you make things easier for them it gives them a good reason to switch.

Not suffering DDoS attacks sounds like a great reason
I'd imagine a good reason to switch would be to stop people from getting DDoS'd.
Everything but the silence(and even that has decent range) has ridiculous range.

Does valve have the appetite to do something with voice chat?
They changed the codec and that was it. Been in the same shape, it seems, for so long.
Still really laggy compared to mumble/vent/ts.

You need everyone to switch though. It's no good if only a handful of players do it. I really think it has to start with the organisers first and then force all the teams/players along.
Or if Skype somehow sabotages themselves like.

Anyone comfortable with Admiralbulldog spamming chat making jokes about being gay etc?
Just find it a bit uncomfortable. Same with his use of mongoloid.

Raidcall might be a decent solution. It does has IM and VoIP support... Haven't tried it for myself since I use Mumble and Teamspeak.
I get that, but what'd be the use in developing your own solution? I'm sure there's other IM software that doesn't compromise player security
is there anything skype does differently other than having a monopoly?

I just wanted to know if other people had the same reaction as I did.

What happened?
Know what he sold to buy that? Not one, but TWO blink daggers.
Let me guess: he was griefing because you wouldn't give him mid.
Nope, he didn't even care about that. Just the typical "oh we are so far ahead I can do whatever I want now" mentality.

g-get hype?
I have really grown to dislike him over the past year. He is just grating. Did he do something else today?
