Nope never. They're both completely suited to their roles. s4 is more of a mechanical player, while Bulldog is generally more strategic. That's exactly what you want of a mid and offlane.

I was more thinking that most mids now a days are farmers. OD/DK/SF etc. When Alliance did their best Bulldog was position 2 on off lane.
Most off lane heroes now are initiators, Bat, Cent, Clock etc. S[4] usually plays a very good initiator.

s4's DK and SF are much better than ABD's (on the basis that they are very good and ABD has never played either afaik), and he's done a lot of games where he farms out of control. Also, Bulldog plays an excellent Cent and Clock. He's in no way incapable of the initiator style. It's an interesting idea, but both of those players are very good where they currently stand.

I have found the best way to make teammates listen. Put them on kindergarten rules, as in be close enough to grab the belt of the guy behind and infront of you. When they ignore you ask them if they flunked kindergarten, and the second time loudly announce that they did. And start using smaller and smaller words till it becomes obvious even to the mouth breathers you're playing with that you're making fun of them. you must be awful to play with
Well when nothing else can get my team to not do stupid shit, I'd rather be hated and win then be hated anyways when the team falls the fuck apart and starts blaming anyone other than themselves and who ever they're stacked with.

I wish that instead of the voice taunt, they'd promised to make animated shorts of each hero's backstory for the $10 mil stretch. Those would be really fucking cool. Bristleback and Tusk's bar brawl, Slark's escape from prison, Pudge's gradual transformation from the caretaker of the Fields of Endless Carnage into the Butcher... the list goes on.
I mean, it would probably be quite expensive and it's not looking like we're hitting $10 mil anyway, but even so.

with 1.5 more months? i highly believe it will depend on how awesome the immortal items will look like

You don't have the slightest idea how much time and personnel it takes to pull that off.
Meanwhile they would be wasting their time doing short films instead of art for new games/new playable content for current games.

Consider that this is for a game that can, at the current going rate, pull in over eighteen million dollars a year, and that the animations don't have to be Pixar.
Yes, it would be expensive, but I know what I want: lore.

Valve should hire that guy who did the witch-doc-frog-set and let him make 4minute movies for every hero.

Bulldog is good at where he is. s4 is one of the best mid players along with FATA, resolution, dendi , arteezy and other notably exceptional mid players. Switching lane would be a nerf more on alliance.
And as far as i know s4 can play farm-oriented mid heroes like NS, SF and OD. And plays them pretty well. It's just that s4 usually fills the roll of initiator.

Yeah it's quite hard to make out which hero that is. Looks like a pokemon tbh :D

I thought maybe weird DK or (not-skeletal) Winter Wyvern?
|
If Valve wanted to make movies, they would. They already released all the TF2 ones.
Just expect them to come out at 1 per year.

Anyone else wish one of the stretch goals was bringing back the "Lina Inverse - the Slayer," "Kardel Sharpeye - Dwarven Sniper," "Rikimaru (never Riki Martin) - Stealth Assassin" and etc titles back?
Why did some of the heroes get their titles and others their names? I know it's already been discussed as they were just the more used names in DotA that got the name for Dota 2, but bring it back please!!!
If we no have lore, at least this please? how hard could it be to implement that... Literally a few seconds for the names, and a bit longer for the interface changes/balance (No idea where they would put it... but in volvo i trust)
