I still think AoS is the best genre name, Aeon of Strife-esque/Attack other Side.
It has been always my thoughts.
I mean, why the fuck didn't Riot, HoN and Demigod contacted IceFrog and say "Hey buddy, I think DotA-genre has to end because there's multiple games in the same genre and we don't want to use a name of another game to describe ours! Let's find out a good name!". I fucking understand that! I really do but the way Riot handle it was stupid and shady.
I will give you an good example. Imagine if SC2 was only a community mod built by the community but inside of WC3 and the SC2 community and official website/page is TeamLiquid.net. Everything ok until now right?
Now imagine if a company starts building a game in the same genre and decides to contract the admin of TeamLiquid and all of the sudden one day you go to TeamLiquid.net and see an letter from the Admin saying that "The developer of SC2 (IceFrog for example) was secretly working for X, we fought and I was contracted by Y to work for them.
Now go to Y website and join us, forget about playing SC2!"
How would you handle it? That was exactly what happened with DotA AllStars. Fan art, guides, opinions, blogs, history... everything. Snakefat Pendragon promised the content and he never gave it to us. Let's not forget that he didn't apologize either.

Testing stuff on test realm. Eating lunch, paused but bots keep unpausing the game. How the heck is this good design? Why would bots care how long I have the game paused for? -_-
Time to report bug I guess

Doom Jungle is really quite nice, it depends on the camps you get(magi=win, centaur or Furbolg is meh) and if they gank you though, Doom is a sitting duck if he gets ganked.

Happened to me aswell, seems reasonable for server capacity reasons. You don't want spend resources on stale bot games that get paused indefinitely.

Bots are to prepare people for pubs.
That very much sounds like the pub experience.

Next patch:
Bots:
Added BM
Bots are now more likely to insult your mother.
Bots are now more likely to insult your nationality.
Sniper Bot will refuse to play if player goes mid.
Bots will blame other Bots for feeding.

The genre term MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) is really bad, it looks dumb and sounds silly. Valve suggested much better term ARTS – Action Real Time Strategy. It depicts genre much better, but term is clumsy and sounds similar to RTS, when two genre are completely different. I think the best way would be to call Dota and other games - TACTICAL games. It is logical. Tactics are smaller version of strategy and fits genre perfectly. Games are not about massive armies and base building, but about several main units, small group of creeps and little strategical elements like positioning, ganking and pushing. “TACTICAL games” sounds easy. has good meaning and not some random word combination. There are some games rarily called tactical RPG or tactical shooter, but it would be much better to use this word for this genre.
So let it be “TACTICAL GAMES” while it is not too late and we are stuck with some god awful term.

Please Valve fix the naked hero bug, its the most annoying thing ever. Very hard to identify heros quickly (especially Omni holy shit).
Also three weeks of no playing, come back and win two solo queues in a row, its a miracle.
Edit: The genre discussion is possibly the most pointless thing ever. Why are people so up in arms about it T__T

I have headless invoker since last patch. That's quite the irony for a character as smart as him.

Last two games I've had naked Krob, Sniper, Omni.
Maybe it only happens with the more recently broken down models.

Couple weeks back I saw a Crystal Maiden who was only a floating bald head, no body what so ever and that being the actual player skin not just portrait. Or at least it seemed like that to me.
Luckily it didn't last for the entire match as I was going wtf when trying to click on her.

I saw naked Nyx once. Now, that was some crazy stuff, at first I thought that his skin got retextured or something...
edit: Also, am I the only one who experienced the invisible Clinkz bug ? I could see only the flames around his head but the model was completly invisible.

I often get Broodmother with no legs. Pretty hard to tell whats going on when that happens.
Also, unrelated ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/WCJuR.gif)

I once had Beastmaster's model never reappear after getting an Invis rune. Fortunately, I was the one playing Beastmaster.

I realllllly wish I had a screenshot of armorless/clawless/headless lycan running around with a tight red shirt punching things in the face.

Had that with Dragon Knight, he got semi-naked and lost his sword, thus meaning he would punch.
it was pretty manly though.
