I never have any issue with wii u install time though. The longest I had to wait was around 15 minutes I think.
thats longer than most people played it

xenoblade chronicles x: everything is anime and the dialog is terrible, went back to playing the witcher 3, holly shit the bloody baron quest goes places.
i made a mistake on purchasing this game for 16 dollars at target. The wii u will remain my mario maker/virtual console machine
Honestly I liked XBCX for the exploration. I agree the story was a step down, but I liked the scale of it. Never really understood why people absolutely hated it.
I still need to finish it

4. He needs items to survive and keep healing up his carry and he needs to stick with the that carry most of the time. So he wont be free to buy and place wards all the time.

I got about 30 more frames with it on a 770
I love DOTA been playing since DOTA 1 in 2003, but man its been frustrating lately.
Last game get a fp PA that steals mid and then proceeds to feed 0-7-0, feeds courier, and mass buys sentries. Every game feels like everyone wants to carry and there's always someone going jungle even had a jungle sniper the other day. So the enemy team just goes super greedy dual lanes and crushes.
Ranked solo queue is such a shit show. I feel like games were more consistent in DOTA 1 days with using ban list.
Sorry just needed to vent.

ranked solo queue never changes
I'm curious how exactly this worked. Was it just "Oh someone played badly this game or did a strategy I don't like, BAN THEM!" or is it just for banning intentional feeders basically?

Ranked solo queue is like full of account buyers now. Yesterday I was with a guy who claimed he could only play hc (no support, roam, offlane or mid whatsover), then he picked ursa jungle. After 20 mins, he's 0-4-0, lv7. Like wtf how did this guy get to 4.7k mmr?
The biggest problem I have with ranked solo queue is 99.9% of all games have junglers (because everyone but me NEEDS to play carry and there's only 3 lanes, obv). These kids think we're playing League it's infuriating. At least it's usually both teams, so it isn't just my team whose lanes are fucked. Like who plays AFK woods wraith king in a ranked game? Give me a break.
I blame IceFrog naturally because he made jungling way too fucking easy with that claw. He needs to delete that item. Delete the fucking hatchet too, just make it fucking impossible for heroes to level 1 jungle that shit pisses me off. It's so easy to fucking slay heroes with 2 good supports but I haven't played a solo queue game with 2 supports in it pretty much ever.

Anyone know if this fall terrain is for the fall major or battlepass or whatever? Haven't been keeping up with it lately, but I'd kill to have this terrain/the pumpkin map from Diretide back.

IIRC hosts could tell a mod and bots would prevent you from getting into the official TDA clan channels. Only a few people with fast enough internet could host games. I can't remember all the infractions but leaving and griefing would get you shitlisted. Official TDA clan games were a lot better than just open games. Open games usually had cheats enabled or guys trying 2v5 or 3v5 strategies and like hosted with a 14.4k modem.
I think before every game you had to whisper the host so they would have your WC3 name and with that info could easily add you to the shitlist if you fucked around. You could make another WC3 name if you got shitlisted, but then you would have to level up to level 10 in Warcraft 3 - which was 10 wins/hours roughly.

I got a better suggestion overall. Dont even bother with the game. It will suck your soul in and never let it go.

I thought random draft would be better, I was wrong. First rd game and a guy decided to first pick bloodseeker.
Some random peruvian guy.

Never playing dazzle as solo support ever again.
You cast timely graves, team says nothing.
You cast a bad grave or miss it, team jumps on you as the sole reason for losing the team fight.
Nope, not because your carries are diving into a faceless void. Nope, not because you have zero items due to constantly warding and buying sentries. Nope, not because there is a techies that makes every fight a 4v5. Nope, it was because dazzle missed his grave.
Report dazzle for missing graves

Report Dazzle for whining.
In all seriousness though: Yeah solo q hard support life is sadness. Just today I was playing Lich (one of the only few heroes I think I do ok with as hard support) and I literally had an LC who was AFK farming our ancients get ganked with vision of the incoming enemy team, then complain "We have no fucking wards" when we had literally 4 on the map. (Which, again gave him vision of the gank train headed his way).
Dota sucks and I'm sorry :/

I started playing it with 3 other friends last week and it's terrific. Not sure how good it's solo but that's always the case with games like these.

how much control do players even have over this, it feels like owners just shuffling rosters every 6 months
Minimal, they signed some pretty bad contracts from what I heard, and you can't really join a team that is part of ACE without signing a pretty restricting contract.
I know Wings isn't a part of ACE, and EHOME wasn't for a while (Not sure where they still stand, I know around 2012-2013 they got barred from ACE)
The solo support struggle is real.

Support is the most thankless task in the game. 0-5-0 carry the problem? Nope, "no wards GG" even though you had wards up the entire game. I love to support with a good team, but it can be a real shitshow.
