Just too bad that Synderen casts relatively rarely. Apart from that there are a few other great pairings I enjoy listening to, but I cannot draw any comparisons as I haven't watched SC2 in over a year. | ||

Relative to sc2, at least. if you're talking about the casting archons then i'd have to disagree with you, i've never really been a fan of their banter and their analysis pales in comparison to the translated korean casters. but at the end of the day its preference, you just haven't seen a dota 2 caster suited to your taste yet. | ||

In LoL, ELO hell has traditionally been an excuse for bad ratings and its existence has been proved to be nothing but an illusion. The only "hell" dota 2 has is lower priority pool, but if you end up there it's your own fault anyway. | ||

Doesn't exactly sound hard to get confirmation bias into "seeing this alot" or more important "seeing this more often than the other extreme". ... So you never lost a game because of one player, and you wonder who this guy is, so you check his profile, and found out about his amounts of win as well as your whole team? Seriously it's not magic, it's logic, normal logic. Just because you don't check your team's profile doesn't mean other people don't check. This problem has been happening forever, and a lot of people vocal about it. It's not like I'm just delusional.

Compared to SC2 and LoL, I think Dota2's casters are inferior, I rarely learn anything or got any information everytime I watch a dota2 cast. But then again, it maybe because my knowledge of dota2 is more than other game's | ||

This problem has been happening forever, and a lot of people vocal about it. It's not like I'm just delusional. That's not the point. The point is that if e.g. that happens every 10 games you might not notice that in the other 9 games you had someone with a low amount of wins who played incredibly well, but no one bothered to check. That's where confirmation bias comes in. Hell, you even start with the premise of actively looking for the stats of people who played badly. Of course you'll find them. | ||

Tobi + Synderen is really good, but yeah, not really around nowadays. Personally, I think Tobi has the most potential to be a great caster but he's stagnated a bit on his casts and hasn't really improved too much (being consistently and openly controversial doesn't help either). LD gets my vote for the best individual caster (second to v1lat) overall right now, but he doesn't really have the right co-commentator to reinforce that. I can't really comment on Korean casts much, but the Korean NSL casts were pretty entertaining, despite not understanding a word. But the Korean ( and Chinese) casters aren't also the ones observing the game, which might have something to do with the style of commentary in general. That brings up another issue with English casters. They're casting and observing simultaneously (and not doing a very good job on the observing front, in general). If I recall correctly, Starcraft 2 English casters did this as well up until a point. There might be inherent differences between the two games to warrant giving a caster camera control (indicating warding spots, attack paths, drawing, etc.), but it's a detriment if the caster isn't adept at watching the hero health/minimap while he/she speaks. I'm pretty sure LoL has dedicated observers, but I don't think their game has the ability to draw on the map. | ||

Wld someone plz help me out? I would like to Deny creeps, and throw my Unstable Potion from Alchemist, but have found no key or key combo that will enable this activity. I have used 'A' move, 'A' left click, 'A' right click, Shift (all of the previous), all w/ no luck. I even found an article online that wanted me to alter my Game Preferences in Steam, but had to reset after that. Anyone able/willing to help w/ that? For any geniuses out there who generally don't help, you can see I have been trying to do this for myself, am willing to put in the work, so plz proffer your assistance. Thanks, Curt P.S. I couldn't find a forum that seem more appropriate for this subject, so plz forgive me if it is in wrong place. | ||

I assume thats what you mean because I don't see why you would want to bind some macro key to deny a creep and throw concoction at the same time when you can just do it? I re read your post and think I understand it now you have to wait till creep is under half health then a left click it will order an attack command otherwise it doesn't work | ||

Only 3 spells that deny creeps are Infest(naix)/Dark Pact(clinkz)/ the mana skill for lich that I forgot the name from. As for physical attack, you can only deny creep that are at half HP or less, just issue a attack command on them. BTW you should ask your question in the dota 2 strategy, quick question quick answer section(aka ask-yango thread). | ||
