Doesn't mean that the people watching actually like it. Although the nearly 250k chinese viewers at TI2 might suggest so. | ||

Also even a release of dota 2 doesn't mean the chinese scene will switch. See SC2. SC2 is a fundamentally different game from BW in a massive number of ways. Dota 2 is trying as hard as possible to just be a clone of dota 1 (for now and for the foreseeable future, aka Icefrog has promised parity between the two for as long as he is able. He acknowledged that eventually it would just be dota 2 work full time but made it sound like that's years away when all possible mechanics in WC3 have been exhausted and require new heroes to be on a different engine). Also Icefrog is the driving developmental force behind dota 1/2 (and has been during the duration of its high popularity in China) while the BW design team I'm pretty sure had nothing to do with SC2. Did Valve hire Eul? He was in the audience at TI2 and people seemed to recognize him. If they did hire Eul then it's even stranger to try and compare Dota 2 to SC2 edit : Also Valve said that this update was small because lots of behind the scenes work is going on - that to me would imply work on either a new UI or integration of something engine-driven that would take time (aka LAN). There's already a lan button in-game it just doesn't function. I don't think behind the scenes work would apply to a 6 hero patch or something like that. | ||

Most people don't like changes. | ||

"WHY WOULD ICEFROG PICK ANTIMAGE AGAINST US IN A PUB?!!?" And bdiz assures us: "to all the people in chat, that is Icefrog, and he's actually pretty good so Fear's going to lose." | ||

Dazzle's grave is not exactly a skillshot, but on some aspect it's close to it (you have to estimate the amount of burst damage the ennemy team can do to the target to be use the grave at the last moment in order to maximise its usefullness). And it also leads to a lot of rage from people that expect that they should never die if you are in a 2km radius around the no matter what they do. | ||
