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.

One walks on all fours, the other does not. One will be walking really slow, the other really fast with a red streak behind him. Seriously, who confuses those two?

There is a reason most competitive games have an option to tune down the cosmetics to the very basic, denying that stuff like this is impacting gameplay is either ignorant or trolling.

Arguing that the impact is so detrimental to game play that they should be removed/turn off is also not a give in. If you argue is absolutes, you will not get very far.

Seriously, the bear thing is like mistaking red race cars for red vans. Sure, they are both cars, but if you confuse the two, thats your problem.

really hit or miss considering how if u blink the bear forward ur hero has to be even closer in order for the bear to actually attack an enemy hero, probably a desperation buy considering how they are behind
but realistically pretty shit but thats mean

or people complaining about shadow hunter nyx because somehow they become too retarded to tell it's nyx when he has that set equipped

I think the best part is that of all the rampant bullshit that is in Dota 2, its is a cosmetic set that fucks them up. There are 5 heroes on the enemy team and one of them has to be nyx, but still they blame the set because "its confusing".


it is a problem if you can't tell immediatly what hero you are playing against, the new cosmetic for lone druid looks too similiar to one lycan skin. It is not obvious if you are just glimpsing if it is lone druids bear or lycan.

And yes, it is important that you can identify heros in a splitsecond. It might be very obvious if you look at it in detail, but it isn't ingame in a teamfight, when a lot of shit is going on at the same time.


do you mix up dk and silencer too


Yo I mixed up dk and silencer all the time, dont hate. That was a legitimate problem.

I buy cosmetics because this game is pay2win. Literally impossible to die if the enemy can't tell what hero you're playing.


Literally impossible to die. I laughed so hard everyone at work thought I was crazy.
