It's only played by anyone either for items or because it's different than normal Dota and a bit of a break from that. But if we compare Diretide to the popular WC3 maps, Diretide is bad. I don't really think it's important that it's not 'teaching them the game properly'. Pudge wars is a good way to get into Dota, because it's fun. | ||

new patch is pretty fun honeslty, dirtide is exactly as awful as i remember it. However this time it feels somehow like people forgot how bad it was. The best part of this new patch is by far the spirit heroes and although this isn't a new patch discussion i thought i would mention my thoughts Earth Spirit is by far the hardest hero to master in dota. You can win games as invoker with just 2 spells however you can't win games in dota by playing Earth Spirit as a 2 spell hero. He might be strong but I have not even slightly played him enough to judge that. Ember/FS however is by far the Strongest hero in the game so far. His burst is insane + the mobility once he gets level 6 is unprecendented. People do not understand how he works and the fact that he can burst you down and survive High magic bburst is a serious problem in pubs. I enjoy Both but probably won't play them because i hate melee mids. Fire/ES is the best hero in the game so far and should be nerfed asap. you will see pubstompers rise above their rank because of this hero | ||

It's faster than a normal game and helps them learn the basics, like the store, what the map looks like and a hero. All the other stuff can come later. That hardest thing for most of the people I have introduced to dota has been the courier and the store. It's second nature to us, but fuckin nonsense to new people. | ||

Ye, especially LoL people are extremely annoyed by the courier. | ||

Diretide is all over the place and it's not like your teammates are gonna be on the same page. | ||
