IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

Stopped playing ranked after i hit 4k MMR.

Game is fun again instead of raging every game. Best decision I've made in dota.

watching idra play HOTS is like the most depressing shit I've ever seen.

Valve taking dota from Blizzard is one of, if not the greatest singular event to ever happen in competitive gaming.

It's the old patch. And I don't see any changes to unreleased heroes.

It's interesting that they ported the Rearm Blink Dagger "bug". So it's officially an intended change.

its funny how valve basically just ported dota 1 to a better engine. if blizzard has simply done that with BW, starcraft 2 would actually be good

BW2 would fail hard. SC2 isn't more popular because people don't like playing RTS'. BW2 would be popular with the very small fan base they already had, but it would not be a more popular ESPORTS. Even in WC3 times, a good amount of the playerbase didn't actually play the game "as it should be played", they spent most of the time in customs, teamgames, etc.

I bought WC3 +TFT for DotA. Played 3 1v1 Wc3 games during the years I played DotA. Would have been 0 without it.

They could have exactly done that to BW. Port it to a new engine. Atleast the "casuals" (custom players) would actually play the game and maybe dota 2 would be an SC2 custom instead of a Source game.

Take a look at what valve did with CS:Go, they added a cool interface and matchmaking but if you want to play it 2001 cs style, you can still click "browse community server" and the interface is EXACTLY EQUAL to what it was 13 years ago.

That's because CS was one of the most popular games on steam. Both 1.6 and Source. So was Dota, even on a shitty plataform. Hardly anyone played BW.

It makes far more sense to re-release a game when people are actually playing it. It's a safe bet.

Fact, no one but TL gives a fuck about BW. Literally no one. We are the one community who cares about it. 1v1 multi-player experiences are just not a big draw on the modern internet.

(don't get me wrong, BW is a great game, but people overstate how broad it's reach was)

Enough with the tribalism, who gets depressed by watching other people have fun? Heroes is fun in 15 minute chunks and for people who just want to fuck around. We already have Dota, what is point of having two dotas?
