Just read that on reddit in cyborgmatt's patch analysis The only proof we have on Techies soon is that some code and lines for his abilitys popped up a few patches ago and i think got updated recently, nothing other that i'm pretty sure? http://static.ongamers.com/uploads/original/0/22/6259-dota2_nottechies.png | ||

Since they had Tobi and some involvement with what was going on at TI1, they positioned themselves as the Dota 2 site while GGnet was still focusing on Dota 1 coverage. Since then their coverage has gone downhill a lot, which is saying something since it was always pretty poor. And belittling and ignoring competitors - even refusing to source correctly - has been part of their MO since the site started. | ||

However, it is their responsibility for what they are advertising themselves as to provide unbiased coverage. Do they 'have to'? No, but that's beside the point. I don't think it's an enormous problem though, I have a bigger problem with the fact that jD news posts are complete shit. And there really isn't a good alternative. TL doesn't do that kind of regular news and is more focused around retrospectives. GGnet is the same as always. OnGamers seem to just focus on random stories and doesn't give you an entire picture. I wish there was just a site that said "This was announced", "Here are the results", "This guy is going to this team", "This is rumored". Hell, if someone wants to actually keep that up to date, I'll gladly design and build it. | ||

I wish TL had this so I could use one site, but I'm forced to use a few sites to get complete news on Dota2. I do know that TL has some plans to make their coverage more comprehensive. I don't think it'll be as as complete as gg.net, but at least its a start. | ||

I guess that's one of the reasons why most sites seem to be quite lacking in general. Anyway.. | ||
