;; Like Artstyle really did well without Na'Vi. Darer 2012 ? They pretty much where top3 teams with NS/dread/god/santa How well did Darer do in the International? I don't remember their results being that great either to make the worth a direct invitation either but not a lot of people questioned it considering their roster. They did about as well as any other western team not named na'vi that year Where did Darer place top 3? I don't remember being impressed by their results leading up to the international. I thought they only received an invite because of their roster.

That's saying a lot.

The company is usually stubborn when it comes to this sort of stuff, if not in general.

They know openly make jokes about extended series and other stuff like that.

I don't think MLG is necessarily ignorant to criticism but have they done anything to change their format or rulesets that players take issue with?

Speaking of Santa, I miss watching him play. I haven't heard from him in quite a while. I still stand adamantly that the most fun team to watch in DotA 2 for me was Santa/ByB/Kuroky/NS/Scandal.
Good times.

it's cause russian dota is always fun to watch

Quick noob question: How does one "restart" the attack animation to lasthit better, like I see all the better players do on stream and in tournaments? Or start and instantly cancel a cast animation for faking or taunting?

I was wondering if there was a faster way as I find that method too uncomfortable to be worth the effort (at least for lasthitting). Probably I'm just not fast enough.
Thank you!

Maybe because I'm playing with better people (random match making) recently but I've noticed more and more people are being real assholes. They are completely unforgiving and insulting and it just ruins the game for me. I don't like to mute people but I do when they are constantly complaining. Even if someone on my team is playing bad I never personally insult them because it's just mean and pointless. Trying to make someone feel shitty over a game is a completely unethical thing to do. It's just a game and I can't get how so many people have so much emotional investment in a game with random people.

Why exactly do did most the teams cycle their players? What is the incentive in switching to a new team after playing with their past team for so long? I suppose it's different when 2-3 players leave a team at the same time but what about just one person leaving for whatever reason?

don't feel bad muting people. you can tell within like 2 seconds of someone speaking if they're worth your ear. I mute people faster than vin diesel drives in the fast and the furious.

Although I agree with you, these types of attitudes have also ruined my solo queue experience. I only solo half my games, and I would rather not solo at all but people arne't always on unfortunately.

If one player has a different philosophy when it comes to the game than the rest of the team, it shows in a bad way.
roster changes are sometimes necessary, so that you can have a group of players that have similar mindsets and goals to do what they want to do and if you don't have that in a team how do they possibly have a chance to become the best team?

Also people change and their playstyles and motivation changes with them. Especially young people.

Hmm just now noticed that ember spirits is getting worked on. Still curious to see what their plans are for Phoenix since they [Valve] are allegedly reworking the hero as a whole. Alas, once they finish ember spirit and earth spirit, the trio shall be complete.
