If anyone is Husky it's Purge by his role and place in the community. His knowledge might be marginally better (hard to make this comparison anyway, there is much more little stuff you can fill time with that is basic but useful for inexperienced players in dota. This is also what Tobi relies on often so it's definitely not a slight of any degree.) but close enough. | ||

If I leave for whatever reason he just gets a free win and we both move on with our lives. Or do you mean that my opponent will be expecting a meaningful game and if I leave I will take that away from him? | ||

On September 14 2012 06:00 blizzind wrote: Dota seems like such a fun game but it has a huge drawback for me. You are forced to play until the end. What if I only feel like playing for about 15 minutes? In sc2 i can just quit the game and it doesn't matter. In cs or quake I can just hop in a game for about 10 minutes kill a few opponents and then leave. In poker i can hop on a table and leave after playing a few hands. But in games like dota it forces you to play. That's a huge turnoff to me for this genre. Anyone in a similar boat? Though in all those examples your choice to leave is either a benefit to the other player(s) or your choices in the game that you left really don't effect a new player filling in your shoes (CS). In dota your choice of hero and choice of lane creates a game state that probably would not be what someone else would choose. Never have I joined a CS game to find my character ran slower and could only use pistols because the guy who played before me set it up like that. There are rumors that valve wants to be able to let people be replaced in the matchmaking games if someone drops but the jury is still out on people's willingness to step in and fill the role someone else carved out and then vacated. As a super team game -arguably more than CS at the causal level- your direct engagement in the pregame strategy determines how a lot the game will play out. And of course your performance in-game also shapes the outcome of the game drastically. A game of dota takes a while, 20 minutes to an hour and because of that no one wants to join a half done game that isn't in their favor and most people won't leave a game they are winning. So ultimately your causal mindset does not work well for a game of this length. The starcraft 2 analogy is the closest for game length but in dota if you leave you are messing with the four other people on your team which is never cool. Ultimately its all that commitment, to your team, lane, hero -along with the time commitment- that make dota 2 as intense and interesting to play as it is. So if you can't commit to all those things, your experience will be greatly lessened. | ||

Gogo 5 meka/necros pokemon wars/sentry wards with full sight and duration as regular wards. Beastmaster Hawk/Sniper scattershot/Brood webs having true sight... Sniper's assassination cd, Clinkz being unkillable, Pugna, Lich, Axe, Pope Rocketfist, Alchemist's Greed had no limits lololol, Visage's Revenants tanking/attacking Roshan. SPECTRE. Man, that wasn´t imbalanced. Sniper Scattershot was only good for nuking towers, Brood webs were good but not gamebreaking. Spectre generated soooooo many whinethreads. I remember those vividly. They didn´t really change much about Necrobook iirc but it´s not considered imba today. Those rules like max 2 necro, max 1 hex etc. per team was silly. Sentry wards were imbalanced, that I give. Ward wars consisted of sentry vs, sentry. The fact that Chens creeps had stacking speed auras(!) was broken as hell. 15% ms from centaur, 15% ms from satyr, 15%ms from taskmaster = 45% ms for the entire team. Beastmaster and Jakiro able to instakill a creepwave, Chens creeps tanking the tower. Jakiro could spam dual breath all day without any items. It was my second version dualbreath got nerfed. Beastmaster could Ulti you across an entire screen, every minute. That lasted more versions, but got changed too. The bad part about this was that you couldn´t ban or pick the broken heroes away from your enemies. And yes, scourge had better area damage with sand king, tidehunter, qop, leschrac, but it´s hard to use that to any effect if you get totally dominated and pushed by chen with 45% ms aura and being caught with 1000 range beastmaster ulti. The damage of junglecreeps against towers was drastically nerfed, the creeps themselves were nerfed along with all the auras. If I remember correctly the imba clinkz era came after that one sentinel lineup was fixed. | ||
