Still looks like absolute dogshit compared to Dota 2. I actually don't understand how people can play or especially watch that game.

Is there a pic of the new League Map?

Ha, I was gonna ask if they nerfed item drop rates. I'd prefer they go back to that as someone who doesn't care much about it, but likes a nice surprise now and then
Do you guys think that when a teammate has an enemy in their vidion, it should show that enemy's HP bar below their portrait at the top of the screen?

You don't think this was a bit of an overreaction? Did you design the map or something?
I don't have a problem with cosmetic items. I love them in Dota 2 and TF2 but I personally find some of the random out-of-theme LoL skins offputting and they clash with what I think is pretty world art. It's as if everything is Alpine Ursa.

I hate the new drop system. I haven't gotten anything in like 4 levels now... It's downright frustrating seeing the bar hit a new level and not getting anything for it
New Pudge arcana.
Same, I havent gotten a drop since the change but I did just see a guy get the LC arcana drop. Thanks Valve

Hoping for some fresh tweaks with the next patch. I'd imagine they will be dialing it up a bit.
The amount of phallic shapes on that design impresses and awes me.
Pretty amazing that the quality of sets fell so fast
So much junk gets added to the game when you can clearly see it looks like a pile of turds
Like that Mjollnir Void weapon that as textured by a blind 2 year old

Why can't they just copy blizz's wow armor sets. I would give good money for Paladin tier 2 armor set on a champ in dotas

I'm getting tired of LoL. In fact, I haven't played in a good 3 months. I have been craving a moba game though, I am making the leap over to Dota 2. Anything I should know going in? Any advice to give? Differences between the 2 games?
There is a mute button to block communication from players, it looks like a little speaker sign next to their name on the scoreboard. Just mute people as soon as they start flaming. I muy people all the time, shits great.

I haven't even seen a single drop at all in any of my games since the change
But try to say that anywhere Valve will pay attention, like the Dev forums or Reddit and you get a stream of "buh free gamessszzz shut up u get mur itemz" ignoring that you don't at all and the system is basically entirely gutted
Here you go young one
Start here
If youve played a shit load of LoL it should be easy enough to get started
i want to play a core farming role in a game but i always get stuck doing some basic ass support gig every game
i want to be entitled to first go at hitting creeps
Insta pick, avoid the flame.
Alternatively, stack if you are craving something in particular.
Edit: Purge's guide is pretty out of date by now. I'd recommend just looking for links in the OP that are from 6.82.

Just pick one first.

Also you can change map orientation in settings. (Have it on the right instead of the left)

Lol, I will remember this. Thank you wise one
Awesome, I will read later tonight before I begin. I have played a lot of LoL so Last hitting shouldn't be a problem once I get used to the character animations and shit.

Pretty sure bulldog went through an offlane sniper stretch.
I only remember he started with boots.
As much as that guide was my bible when I started I can't help but feel like there has to be something better out there for new players. At the very least Purge needs to update and edit that guide. It's dated as well as poorly written and formatted. A lot of the information is still valuable but the presentation is crap.
Start boots tangos. Rush Phase. MoM > Force > SnY > Skadi
This was like 2 versions ago tho.

Who is a good beginner character? Someone easy to work with.
Thats a good write up, that needs to be tagged at Dota 2 homepage.

Lich. That hero has a positive impact just by existing.
Lich is pretty good. Ranged so easier to stay outta trouble, one of his abilities sacrifices a creep for mana and exp, which means you don't have to worry about your mana pool as much and you can keep up in levels ez. Oh, and his ult is pretty fun, so it's not like you'll be bored playing him.

Meepo.
Lich, Skeleton King and Viper are my go to suggestions.
Lich, Wraith King, Abaddon, Spirit Breaker, Necrophos, Viper, Ogre Magi, Centaur, Witch Doctor,

So I've decided Shadow Demon is a terrible hero and far too counter specific that I'm never going to win with him ever. There goes my all hero challenge.
yup, had an easy game pushing into T3 20 mins in. bam server crapped out. fucking shit.
