To my surprise it involved going to the enemy fountain and watching our pudge fountain-kill their heroes repeatedly. WTF is this shit? It's people trying to break a record in a fun-mode(A record they have no chance of breaking), thus taking away the fun. | ||

The problem is that they're just some weird rules slapped ontop of the normal game. And even those rules, aren't that interesting. Even just releasing an official LOD would be better. | ||

I have a hard time believing anyone would be playing these modes if they had the option of playing some of the more popular WC3 custom maps instead. It's a departure from normal Dota, of course it's interesting in that regard. But if people had the option to play pudge wars instead... it wouldn't be close. And pudge wars wasn't even a very popular map. | ||

Nobody's trying to break the records in pubs, they're just trying to max out their items. Which just goes to show that the majority of the playerbase doesn't find the actual game mode fun and is only there for the items in the first place. | ||

Anyway it seems I'll never know if this is actually fun because once again my team is doing the pudge fountain stupidity. | ||

Sure there would probably still be 10-man stacks which feed each-other, but you could balance it as such so that time investment wouldn't make sense for the team feeding. And that wouldn't hurt the people solo-queing or 5-manning. They would still be rewarded for playing properly.Nobody's trying to break the records in pubs, they're just trying to max out their items. Which just goes to show that the majority of the playerbase doesn't find the actual game mode fun and is only there for the items in the first place. If they want to do a PVE thing it needs to be 5-man vs Roshan. You can't do this silly 10-man fight roshan thing for a record. It's a fun idea if there aren't rewards. It's an utterly stupid idea if there is, and quite amazing that Valve still left it in the game even, because it ruins the game for those who want to play properly. | ||

This is just flat-out wrong though, i've been queued against plenty of people who raged because "No chance of breaking record" because people didn't play the way they wanted them to. | ||

But right now even the RUMOR that getting to higher levels on Rosh gives you better drops means everyone is going all out for it. | ||

So people are just blindly trying to get to higher levels despite the fact that the difference between playing the game normally and spamming for highest possible might not even be meaningful, rewards-wise. | ||
