TI2 was so much fun and had such good games. In general I don't think games are as exciting anymore. People can say that the viable hero pool is bigger now, which it is, the game is more aggressive, which it is, but I just find the current balance of the game to be too snowbally. And unless the Chinese teams come out completely reborn, we won't really have much of a david vs goliath story. | ||

I can't help but feel Icefrog's change to bonus gold to 2-5 heroes present kind of hurt this. Other notable factors: Viable hero pool, and ward reduction. I really dont like the ward reduction change. | ||

The first tutorial is so dumb too, that KotL is such a troll because he doesn't give you mana when you are at like 80 and you need to wait half a minute to breathe fire -.- They really should be optional I feel... Though I guess this might actually help some super new people so that they aren't 100% clueless and don't just nonstop feed -> ragequit. The quality of the tutorial felt all right, just forcing it on someone... He even had already played the game before so it makes no sense. also this exam timing wut, Finnish exams were mostly like 2-3 months ago | ||

They have to do the tutorial before they play alone though. | ||

Other notable factors: Viable hero pool, and ward reduction. I really dont like the ward reduction change. I have a feeling it will get better with time, but at the moment the game just seems to be updated too often with major changes to core mechanics. It's clear that it's icefrogs intention to shorten game lengths. But that doesn't work when everything else in the game is saying that you can't have a close short game due to the amount you can get ahead and the time it takes for you to get back. | ||
