Completely agree with a lot of your thoughts.

Also, this is a really nice thing giving out keys to the TL community =D.

Thanks!

Nice writeup. Hopefully I can finally get lucky with one of these contests.

In regards to the actual blog: Catapults have the lowest threat priority in DotA, so it's intended. Siege units having low priority was built into the Warcraft3 engine, so they probably could change it if they wanted to.

A banning/drafting phase in matchmaking wouldn't work if you're referring to captains mode, since you have no control over what your captain picks/bans and would be forced into heroes you might not like. There's a reason -CM is never played in public matches in DotA1, because it leads to an insane amount of flaming and leavers.

I assume they're going to implement random draft/single draft/all random as matchmaking options in the future, since those are decently popular in public games.

Well written.

Question: Has there been any problems with the DotaTV yet? Is the automatic control good? Or does it look like.. "robot"ish? Can you easily say that it is controlling itself(the camera)? Just wondering how well its done and does it get annoying to watch it in a long run.

Thanks!

You can see the automatic control in the video below. Personally, I think it's really good. It's smooth, and it positions the camera well. Not sure if it's been updated since the international, however.

You probably answered this already [ sry ] but what's with the icon? I don't recognize your username ;(

Also very refreshing to hear a 1900 hon player admitting that hon is imbalanced and S2 is a garbage company.

Oh they used this feature in the Dota 2 Invitational? Well then i have nothing to ask about it!

It really is smooth and thats what i was wondering. If you are really sensitive and all, it could cause motion sickness etc. So thats why i was a bit worried.

OMG Keeeey lol, Great post, I personally don't really get mad when people are bad or just simply not very skilled, its just ignorant people who don't know what they're doing and insist they are right, and say you suck when you are better than them really piss me off D:

If you don't understand the game at all and admit it I don't mind and you probably have more of my respect than 99% of the players that play dota/hon etc...

The only problem I have with new players are the ones that 100% refuse to communicate with the team, or take advice given to them.

I love helping out new players, but if you're being an ignorant fool I won't be nice. Really really hope that key finds it's way to me xD

nice blog, I'd figured that people who consider themselves elite would insult other players by calling them LoL or HoN players

Good post to read. Did in-game voice chat just recently get implemented? I don't recall seeing it watching linklink's stream but I happened to catch it on someone else's the other day. Do most people actually use it and take advantage of it?

Similarly to HD/Husky, I would bet that now is the time to break out as a huge youtube caster for DOTA.
How does it feel knowing you wasted another 3 seconds of your life reading this again?

Ok, I decided to close the contest already as there's already been about 250-300 people signing up for it. Congratulations to the winners! I hope you'll enjoy your key. Let the discussion about DotA2 go on! :-)

Damn, didnt win, but thanks anyway for the chance for the keys Robin. Didn't really know how to use twitter either way, probably screwed up my reply anyhow, damn all this social media ;P

Hopefully you manage to get those extra keys somehow
