as a starcraft lover for over 10 years i tried to give LOL and DOTA a chance, because everybody is so enthusiastic.

seriously, what is this shit? are you all crazy? these games suck just so hard. please, please explain what these games have to do with a game like starcraft. It doesnt require macro, nor micro just learning about hundreds of hero, thousands of spells and their combination. What does this have to do with skill? imo dota and lol are just a boring waste of time

If you love micro so much, this is just the hero for you.
Imagine playing terran having to micro marines against banelings, but the catch is if one marine dies they all die, that's this hero right here.

Honestly, there is a pretty good chance that you won't convince him much.

Hell, most of the people from here played SC:BW. Its not like we dont know what micro / macro is.

I love the "waste of time" argument. Shame on us for not doing something productive, like playing StarCraft.

I was mostly joking really, i can't take those kind of comments seriously. "Waste of time" when it comes to a video game, like really?

Updated the icons for the new Warlock and Lone Druid sets.

Fixed units not pathing around invisible enemies.

Fixed stolen Berserker's Rage not restoring the original attack type on death.

Fixed for LP mode not limiting 40 heroes.

Fixed Battle Trance affecting units like Spirit Bear.

1) It has little to do with starcraft except maybe that DotA is based off of WC3 which is an RTS so the UI and layout is simlar to an RTS? Why are you comparing them? As someone who used to play lots of SC2 (4000+ ladder games) and now exclusively plays DotA2, both are great games and very different.

2) No, macro is not required in DotA2 because it's not an RTS. What point are you trying to make here? There is no macro required in Call of Duty or Diablo either. As for micro, if you don't think DotA2 takes micro, you clearly haven't played or watched the game. There is definitely less micro required than SC2, for the most part, but again they are different games.

3) Being good with a hundred heroes takes no skill? Erm, ok. While Dota2 takes less mechanical skill on an individual level, decision making and teamwork are stressed to the nth degree, something that can't really be said for SC2.

I know you're trolling, but it kind of makes me mad you would come in here to post something like that, completely unprovoked. This is Team Liquid, where we are all united by our love of video games, originating with SC:BW. Does it bother you that people like to discuss other games in forums dedicated to those games? Are you psychotic?

Did it affect Eidolons? From what I could tell it only affected units with Resistant Skin (Spirit Bear, Warlock Golem, etc.).

Wouldn't you get like 20 of them before they expired? Considering they split based on the number of attacks they do.
