I think he means when it says "X just pwned Y's head for 251 gold!" on the side of the screen.
Personally, I love the camp and silliness of the Dota announcer. It's a game, not serious business, and I'm alright having fun when I'm playing

And even though it says pwned in Dota, it's clearly implying pawned, not owned. Because you pawn their head, and get gold.
I don't know why anyone really cares to change it though. I can understand why people want to keep it as it was, it's nostalgia. Why people complain because it's silly, I don't get, it's a fucking video game, one which has never taken itself seriously.

The announcer is great. Pwned, however, is stupid.

The biggest thing that changed in the meta is that throwing the coals from Diretide onto your enemies (or allies) face will heavily demoralize them, ensuring victory to the person with more coals.

Also i can't wait for tournaments to start up again, want to see the new heroes, or well the heroes that were recently added to CM utilized in games with good teams.

i dont care for it that much but imagine if the Unreal Announcer is swapped with the League Announcer (Ultra/Rampage exchanged for "Hexakill"/"Pentakill". Actually even better, imagine if the default announcer was replaced with Flamboyant Announcer from HoN and imagine how many people will get pissed off.

I think pwned came from chess. Some Russian Grandmaster said "I will pawn your knight" which sounded like and evolved to pwned.

I'm pretty sure 'pwn' was just a common typo of 'own' that

From what I've heard, it originated from when the team developing Warcraft typo'd Owned into Pwned and decided (or overlooked?) to leave it there. Then it just became part of the game.
