Its not my fault that InkDota figured out that meepo was the most broken hero before everyone else (besides godz)

U get to play a game in like 15 mins and u queue as a hero/role so there's no 5-carry teams.

Plus there's no items so ur allies cant buy shadowblade on riki. Also no lasthitting so running up and autoattacking a lane is actually good. It's supposed to be "intuitive". Also the losing team gets like 3x experience so you literally cannot snowball.

It's hypothetically designed to take the big stresses out of traditional dota clones.

Intuitive? No stress? That sounds awful!

Literally zero, you just pick hero, que up and kill neutral camps with your team. And team fight at some point. Its pretty good when your tired for to much dota.

I thought HoTS sucked when I looked at it as a game to compete with Dota for my 'moba' playing and still thought it sucked after yolo queuing. However, I will admit I had fun last night duo queue with Finesthour as we basically just ran around killing everyone.

When you approach HOTS as more of a simplified WoW battleground rather than a MOBA, it's pretty decent mindless fun. You basically just fight a lot and the games are really short. It certainly has some issues though, like skills being locked until you level up a champion lel. Barbarian literally shit until you're level 4 hero XP at minimum. Thankfully that only takes 3-4 games but seriously what the fuck is the point of skill lockouts?

you dont want to overwhelm your players with too many skills when they start

They are trying to find a way to give people that sense of progression(people love progression, even if we dont) and not have people be overwhelmed when they first start out. I dont like it per hero, but I could see it per role or something. But per hero sucks ass.

I need to play again and see if the siege tank is any good. Its super dumb to play, but wasn't very good when I first unlocked her.

Because we had never played him before that point. Also his team was running people over with DP + LD (basically they figured out 4.9's meta before a lot of people did).

I don't think they got far enough for meepo to have 5 meepos. Our Luna that game literally said "can we just gg...i wanna go home ._______." when rosh went down. (meanwhile I was crushing my lane against NP)

Fuck that guy.

I refuse to play razor / tinker / void in this meta.

I still pick doom though.

(LD also most underrated pub stomper jesus that hero)

I can't get into void in this meta, he is the nap time hero and bores me shitless. Hopefully the patch does something to make him a little more risky. Personally, I think just making so he can't move in Rubic's Chrono sphere would make him a little bit more risky of a pick.

Dota is dead in chicago.

not enough esports dollars to keep it going. Someone is trying to get redbull to help make another lan though, so keeping fingers crossed.

Why do Chicago when Toronto is just as good, if not better.
