Dota have wasted so much of my life. I am a grown man of 27 years old and I've grown up with Anime and Dota 1 etc...

Ever since I played 700 hours of Pokemon Blue (and what a waste it was xD~), I've always wanted a real time battle with Pokemon. Dota have been the closest thing possible that comes to mind. 4 abilities etc..

The strategy is mind blowing and coming up with starts and combos have never been so fun.

I hardly even work anymore (yet I still make quite a decent amount of cash for doing nothing like 6 figures) yet all that time at home is spent playing dota..

People can tell me to get a life, but I'm 27 years old man, I've already done with clubbing/pubbing, fucked a lot of hot girls, and i'm done with it because I know when I'm 40 I be just too old to keep it up (unless I'm a millionaire/billionaire). DotA will in my mind remain as a soul integral in my heart. The emotions and struggles I've been thru w

Seems to me that the rating becomes stable once you played enough games with something.

What do you mean? If going to make a comment such as this, at least follow through with an explanation of why you feel this way.

Clinkz has been used for a long time by europe so empire using them isn't exactly special. ^black being known for it is proof of that. Visage being used correctly is nice to see i agree, but two heroes on two teams isn't an attempt to alter the meta, it's just picking 1 different hero. you can pick kotl undying or visage to help control a tri lane situation it doesn't change your strategy. just your choice.

Pinoy and to a less er extend chinese dota is known for using new things in tournaments pretty quickly, there is a reason that the meta stagnates when the west gets the ability to control it.

EDIT: and it has alot less to do with a lack of creativity, but more to do with the high living costs of being in the west, why risk trying something new when the money from placing becomes almost necessary.

the reason why chinese dota looks more innovative is not because they try crazy stuff, but because in the western scene we are able to follow the trends more closely. we can see every adjustment teams make because there are games every day. but with everything you see every day, change is hard to notice.
in chinese dota we only see them play every 6 weeks or so and everything they have developed within this time will show at once.

I short, The Defense rules allow other streams freely, it has nothing to do with that Versuta did before anymore (restreaming on twitch when owned was still alive was a violation of the rules), the "spilled hatred" was reaction of immature audience after the closure of the stream and was not someone's order.
The guy was restreaming a lot of stuff for a log time already, had good numbers of viewers, tried to become official caster for a lot of tournaments. Everyone ignored him for all this time untill now. And his stream got shut down only because Tobi felt like it, based of an announcement.
"In my opinion".

I do not quite agree. When mention how it has nothing to do with what has happened in the past but it did, which Tobi specifically mentioned. He flat out said that one of the reasons why is due to the rule breaking in the past.Regardless though, Tobi did still accept his mistake, apologized, and went further in depth on the topic (although I do not actually agree entirely with his views on the matter or purchasing and needing consent but that is entirely different topic).

Regardless, what has happened has happened and just should move on. I am not a fan of Versuta (since I find him to be incredibly immature) but that is just my opinion.
