Guys listen....

What if Kollin is actually Firebolt? And all this is just to make us believe he has fans?

Both from UK, both playing dota. Both feeders. It checks out.


in my experience euro has become synonomous with feeder

yo everybody fed but me

Mechanics are tied to game knowledge in SC as well, but it's more to do with how selections work, unit movement, even animations. In DotA it gets more down to as you've said damage range etc.

When I say mechanics in DotA, I think of lasthitting, positioning, spell usage and general control of your hero.(of course a lot of things will be tied to this)

At the most basic level it comes down to lasthits/denies. You won't win mid if you can't get that crucial bottle fast, or them fast BoTs as tinker etc

DotA is still a team game so teammates might negate your personal weaknesses(whichever they might be), but mechanical skill will get you far. When ZSMJ lost his sacred relic it was mostly mechanical skill that brought him back, I still remember how well he did vs a tough trilane with just CM supporting him, he was lasthitting so damn well under tower and under pressure.
You must gather your party before venturing forth.

I personally see laning skill as based on player experience rather than mechanical ability or at least equal parts of both.
Even last hitting, while mastering animations is pure mechanical skill, still requires some experience(or fast mental math skills) with the every increment of damage you get.
Chinese players in the interviews I read talk about rhythm when the topic is about laning/last hitting, which imho is a nice way of thinking about laning. Keeping a laning advantage does not feel mentally taxing, at least not to me.

Also positioning comes down to knowing where you should stand and then stand there. I am pretty sure I could reliably hold any range towards the enemy team in a standoff before the initiation spells happen, but I don't actually know where I should be positioned in many cases.
Positioning counts as mechanics in SC2 because you have to keep 40-150 units positioned while doing a million other things at the same time. In Dota you have 1 unit most of the time and all the time in the world. Not remotely as difficult.
If nobody hates you, you´re doing something wrong. However someone hating you doesn´t make you right

So, I'm quite interested in modding some of the sounds in DotA 2 and was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers. I need to know where I'd be able to place a file I made (i.e. which directory it's supposed to go into so I can hear it) and what the properties of the file should be (size, formatting, etc.). Any help would be much appreciated, I know that Valve recently made it a bit tougher for people to mod things at their whim, but that doesn't mean we can't still have fun!

Cheers

Why were people arguing about SeleCT's dota skills when he has already played dota at a high level before

But he'll have a really slow projectile speed

He could be like a siege tank - he could go in and out of root form and throw rocks!

He would be good THEN!

He would be fking OP hahahaha. Siege up outside enemy base throw rocks at tower & rax. Defense? Sit behind your tower and spam enemy away.

I prefer my solution of making ALL his skills Global haha

Treant's ultimate should be called "Backup" and when in use every tree on the map uproots and rush towards the nearest enemy dealing damage with a radiance aura.

Fuck yeah
