IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2 Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads. | ||

If something is 'imbalanced' it is still an option given to both teams to either use or ban and thus it doesn't really affect the outcome of the game. No one ever wins in Dota because of imbalance. When it comes to balance in Dota it's more about making the game more interesting and varied, and not about making it more fair. Ultimately the only things which affect fairness is first/second pick and dire/radiant. The heroes have nothing to do with it. | ||

Because you can ban heros that are considered "imbalanced". Banning and picking is part of the game. | ||

I think you can compare dota 2 balance to mirror matchups in sc2/bw. There are some imba stuff but everyone can use it (mutalisk in bw's zvz = TI2 naga siren) and also certain spawn positions might be better in some cases (closer natural on scrap station = dire rosh advantage).

I don't think it will affect the cosmetics/key sales at all, but probably increase ticket sales. I think steam community market shows that there already is a crazy demand for some stuff. I would love a drodo courier but 300? Come on. | ||

For instance, Huskar got a MAJOR overhaul, and is imba, but noone really cares cause he isnt in the competitive hero pool, and we all know a change is coming sometime soon. | ||
