IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

This. For some reason people follow squiggly lines on the minimap more than text/speech, even if they understand English.

tricks them into thinking THEY were the ones to think of the idea to play carefully. human psyche at work.

But then if they say you didn't call miss, you can't prove that you did!

Refuse to use the chatwheel until they release an entirely curse-word/rage oriented wheel:

That's a bingo. It automatically translates to whatever language your allies have their game set to, and (since the missing command can be bound to a single hotkey) it's quicker than any other method of calling missing.

A big problem is I think a minority of Dota 2 players actually read the blog, how the chat wheel was presented on implementation, and the user base has expanded greatly since it was. So many people still don't even know about the chat wheel, I still amaze people by showing them it exists from time to time.

These problems will go away somewhat, at least for new players, when the tutorial system is finished.

I actually don't know how to use it either. It just never seemed like THAT much of an annoyance to me so I never used the feature, but it might be better to learn now than later. It's just more efficient anyway.

I think we coined the term "flame wheel" for the rage-version of the chat wheel.

2GD just announced that statsman bruno will be joining the GD studio full time for their dota 2 stuff. Sweet.

This is just awesome. No offense against Weppas, Sing or Draskyll, but as good as they are in DotA, their knowledge about what's going on in the scene seems pretty limited at times and so far Bruno really is on the top of stuff like this tbh.

Wait, Draskyll's knowledge is limited?

...That seems...off.
When it comes to the Dota scene Draskyl is completely clueless. He has great knowledge of the game because of how much he plays and having some competitive experience in HoN along with knowing a lot of pro-players. But unfortunately, he's not like an Apollo who is similar but also has an obsession with watching games and following all the news. If you watch the episodes where he's on the Dota segment he really doesn't know anything about tournaments he didn't cast.

Weppas is pretty similar. He's been picking up since he's been getting a lot of criticisms, but it's still all like reading news posts instead of actually caring and following the scene. Like today he didn't know what the SEA League is, that's not really acceptable for someone doing a news segment to be honest. He's fine with EU news because he knows a lot of the players, but EU Dota news is such a small part of it to be honest.

Bruno on the other hand follows everything. And I don't just mean that because he runs DA, but when he was on the Dota Show by Dotacommentaries it was obvious that Bruno follows the scene very closely and he has for a long time. He's exactly what the GD Show needs for the dota segment. And this is also big because it means if you're running a LAN event in Europe, you can get Bruno in to be a personality on the stream, and I'm 100% sure we'll see him at LAN events. And of course it means they have a lot more options with what to do in regards to Dota content for the studio itself.

I could partially agree to that. Draskyl is in between a pro and a caster. He spends most of his time playing games, and his off time casting the games he has to cast, but I highly doubt he follows the scene elsewhere or other tournaments. He's pretty good at catching small details in fights though.

syncing usually lets you use all your saves and data on 1 computer onto another if you log in another computer. for single player games at least. no idea for dota 2 specifically.

The problem with the chat wheel is the lack of a key to bind it to when using legacy.

It should let you use Y. Invoker is the only hero that I can think of that uses Y in Legacy for an active skill.
