I've always been amazed at how many small details/quirks the broodwar units have, whilst the sc2 units are fairly straightforward. I hope that more units will be like this some day... (As long as they are not as clunky and dumb as the corruptor, it would already make a huge difference) | ||

DotA 1 and StarCraft 1 were successful in the past, but DotA 2 is being successful right now, proving that even today, babysitting isn't the only way to go. I played DotA 1 religiously years ago but I have no idea on DotA 2. How is DotA 2 counter-intuitive? | ||

I would even argue that it can make the learning process of a game more rewarding, if there's more things to figure out over a longer period of time you'll feel progress until you know it all, even when your mechanical skill isn't increasing. yea... I blame the Steve Jobs cult for this stupid mindset. | ||

But it's such a drastic change (carrier being usefull!!!!) that it should not be adress before LOTV is more stable. Giving this ability to the carrier which can now be combined with others nice spells could lead to an imba situation (:p ) When the dust is settle and if protoss need a air buff it can be a easy viable option. | ||

I can see some cool Carrier vs Widow Mine interaction where the Protoss player hits the stop button to try and not send all the Interceptors at once and have the mine shots hit fewer interceptors and stuff like that. | ||

Perhaps I am wrong? I get the whole leash micro thing, but I always feel like interceptors die a whole lot faster than they used to. Interceptors appear more durable in Brood War because they are usually deployed at a heavy ground mech (tanks/vultures) army that has a low Goliath count. In SC2 there is tons of AA between marines, vikings, thors in the TvP dynamic. | ||

Dota2 and League are indeed quite illogical but for some strange reason League tries to make their stuff sound more reasonable? At least I know the reason they gave for not having denies was because they said it didn't make sense to kill allies to prevent exp and money. And my friends repeated that to me over and over again when they first tried to get me to play... and we all know that doesn't even remotely begin to rationalize the nonsensical things that happen in both League/Dota. But for them... at least this pretense of sensibility evidently did strike a cord with some people. But in the end... the implementation and mechanics of the game clearly don't need to strictly abide by that. So yes! More complicated stuff is good. Just write some bs about why it makes sense. | ||

I wouldn't go as far as to call it counter intuitive, but as a beginner, you have to spend around 30 minutes learning things like item recipes and secret shops. It's not as easy to pick up and play as LoL. The first times that I played DotA, I was quite lost. | ||
