DOTA? RTS?
It is. Technically =P . But I wouldn't refer to it as such anymore since it kinda has its own genre now.
Its sad that they call its own genre cause there was so many bad copys of dota. "Moba" is such a bad name too
and what makes this game really good competitive wise is the balance. Icefrog ( The current maker of dota1 ) is extremely good at balancing the game ( no offense to david kim ) Icefrog barely tweaks a spell/hero to make the perfect balance, but balance in dota is extremely hard to make cause there are so many heroes. Which i find is a problem with david kim ( or who ever makes balance in sc2 ) is that when he changes something he makes it WAYYYYYYYYYY to big, i think for exemple istead of chaning the phoenix range to 6 he should of just tweaked it to 4.5. 0.5 doesn't seem much but its actually a huge deal

MOBA describes every online competitive video game. It's an awful term made by an awful company.
Besides HoN, LoL, demigod, bloodline champions, what has there been? And yeah it's a pretty bad term I tend to just call it the dota genre :lolIts sad that they call its own genre cause there was so many bad copys of dota. "Moba" is such a bad name too

Which is why I prefer those games to have that as their genre.
That is alright, on a conceptual level, but when realized, it still boils down to whether they have a product that I want or not - and on that level, both company wins
I get it, though. I honestly thank you guys for complaining about stuff because it, in the end, improves the product, if enough people complain. I am just never going to complain when it comes to developers making games I love to play for years and years and years. Yes, even without lan, replay sharing or - in the case of D3 - PVP at launch
Those are bad
Why would you say technically? It's not an RTS, it's a team deathmatch RPG.
I really wonder if Valve has plans to make a DOTA RTS in addition to DOTA2.
I imagine that DOTA2 will be free-to-play but if they did a DOTA RTS it wouldn't be. That would be really cool way for them to bring in some money by reusing many of the assets and the engine they created for DOTA2. I'd buy a Valve RTS.
Is Valve EA? No? OK I'd buy a valve rts then too.

MLG Winter Championship in Columbus - Final Day
Mississauga, TheNix's via Go Bus, 2pm-10:30pm, March 25th, HOUSECRAFT:
Going:
TheNiX
Zzoram
Pandaman
Maybe:
scogoth
mcrae
Not Going:
Spl1nter
hoverX
scogoth, you in?
I want to say yes but I don't know what my schedule is that weekend. Most likely
In that list the only "bad" one I'd say Demigod. Pros have acknowledged bloodline champions is good unfortunately nobody plays it. HoN and LoL are bad, according to you.
It did spinoff from WC3 and was referred to as Action RTS instead for awhile..
I didn't say they were bad overall. Just bad DotA copies.

mcrae has been oddly quiet lately.
3 people is weak. If scogoth is in and we have 4 that's pretty solid. Are you still picking up Panda?

Yup. 2 of my co-workers might come too.
That sounds good. They watch much SC2?
shit, we're gonna have to memorize everyones names. -.-

One of them used to watch GSL all the time and still catches some streams once and awhile. The other guy just plays.
I'll grab some "Hello! My name is..." tags.
I don't think I could make it even to Diamond if Nestea himself were coaching me.
P.S. These Sony earbuds that kind of wrap around your entire ear cannot survive being thrown against a wall. Just FYI for everyone out there.

Don't care so much. I'm being serious. I had a real shit streak because I was so concerned with doing well and seeing results. Just play. You'll pick up new stuff and hone your micro/macro without knowing it.
even phoenixdark has made diamond! if there's one thing that will hold you down in starcraft, its despair.

I miss when it was moe stuff.
tbh, id still accept a nanoha marathon, it's just not advertised in the front window anymore.
lol Diamond. Quit gettin mad at video games.
Sounds like someone needs to reread my guide to Diamond.

Scrap station. Very contemporary.
I endorse this build to be more effective on longer maps.

Your last 1v1 ladder game was 48 weeks ago on Scrap Station in which you beat a terran in the 13minute time range. Fitting.
Im preparing for the 1 year anniversary.
I'm making Firefall eSports. Too busy to waste time on SC II since Blizzard doesn't care about anything.

Still upset gom wont hire you I see?
Yeah I have to try at non-RTS too. The devs REALLY listen to the community (The correct parts, aka me) and seem to have a god damn good understanding of what they want Firefall to be. WoW vanilla lead and Tribes lead. That's a good two people to have.
Submitted my resume there, left voicemail for the person who was HR for Naughty Dog and Insomniac. Goddam.
I can't not care. I've tried. It never lasts.
How much ponies are we talking? :\
I wish Zerg could make Marines
Well they both are about friendship and magic.
One just involves befriending after pummeling them with giant magical lasers.
technically Luna was befriended via giant magic lasers too.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Sounds aggressive and fun!Korean ladder so hard.
Got into diamond finally as zerg -- every game is 2base allins except from zerg, when it's 1-base allins.

I had 2 ladder games for the first time in about 10 weeks. I feel like i might go back to zerg. It's much easier to just wing it with zerg, with protoss i feel like i need some sort of plan. With zerg i just react as the game goes on and things work out.
You so crazy.

I remember that everytime I fought against a zerg on that map, I built at least 15 missile turrets on the side that mutas would come from.
That shit was TENSE.
Just finished up my finals so I got online to play some ladder and enjoy myself since it's been a bit; I really just didn't want to deal with ladder rage from my opponents today. :/
1 Base baneling without even making lings to deny scouting? RAAAAAAAGE when I build a strong wall and 4 cannons.
