Ok so Cyborgmatt is streaming about the patch.

Do we know if there's a hero release?

I’d love to hear what you think gives Dota 2 deeper gameplay. It’s certainly not skillshots or mechanical complexity

T.J.: Josh, do you know what the following things have in common? Potato chips. X-rays. Velcro. Post-it notes. Silly Putty.

Josh: They’re delicious in small doses?

T.J.: Yes. But they’re also inventions that came about by accident, and we kept them around because people like them. Both in a limited culinary sense, and for their original purposes. You can call Dota 2’s mechanics “archaic,” but if they were such a bother, people would have all abandoned the game by now.

Josh: 70 million people have, according to Riot’s last released registration numbers, with 12 million of them playing every day!

T.J.: And “Call Me Maybe” had 367 million views online last year. I never contended that LoL isn’t the more accessible, or even more popular game. Consoles also tend to have a higher install base than high-end gaming PCs, typically, and Call of Duty is more popular than Crusader Kings. And yet here we are on PC Gamer, because we love things that aren’t the most popular. I’m saying Dota is the superior experience. I could go on and on.

Don't take this too seriously, it's meant to be a "controversial" piece, with 2 sides having caricatural arguments i found it funny in its own way, the dota guy could have been better but whatever.

And a lot of dota players hate LoL due to pendragon.
He managed to fuck up any positive relationship the two games could have.
