Easy. He is the least played hero (other least played heroes where released later) so the stats are not very reliable. Combine that with a Stealth and a good Ulti.

Dota 2 is fencing.

That's the skill, and the appeal. I finally see it. You're fighting back and forth down these lanes, looking for an opening in the other heroes' defense. The other guy's too close to your tower, or too far from his friend, his ultimate skill's on cooldown, his health is low. Fights in other games last seconds. Fights in Dota 2 are dramatic; entire minutes of feints and narrow escapes. Duels that can span forests, roads and rivers without coming to an end.

He's been played 400k times, i think that's pretty good statistics.

Getting a beta key has forced me to upgrade my video card which is pretty low right now. I tried playing a few games though and I noticed that the camera is kinda bulky compared to Frozen Throne DotA. I often lose track of my hero if I try to scroll using my mouse and around the edges, it doesn't seem to move as instantly/fluidly as War3 DotA

Is this a video card thing or do I just have to tinker with my camera acceleration settings and stuff?

Saw this article posted on reddit. It's a rather nicely written personal experience piece on Dota2, and though reading stuff like this for fans of the game is little more than jerking off, it does bring back a lot of memories of learning DotA for myself for the first time back in the day. What primarily caught my attention though was this interesting take on what DotA is:

Thanks all, I'm going to try that

EDIT: I can't seem to make my console come out. Tried rebinding the console key and it still doesn't come out

So after EG not being able to show up to StarSeries LAN finals, now Keita are not going, either. I fucking hate this.... I don't know the reason Keait can't make it, but EG REALLY pisses me off. They say the reason they're not going is that it's not worth it for them. Well, why the fuck do you even accept the invitation in the first place?! The Star Series league is basically just the qualifiers for the LAN finals in Kiev, and they join anyway, knowing they won't make the it there. In my opinion, they should get punished somehow.

You skipped this part in my post "I haven't seen many results from Na'Vi since then.". I know they won, but aside from that, there really isn't a whole lot more. I realize teams go through rough patches and that is why they get knocked out of tournies and such, but I see other teams progressing faster than them in terms of skill. I honestly think if EG plays how they did against Complexity yesterday in the IGMM #2 then EG would be able to beat Na'Vi in a best of 3 or 5.

^I never said they were bad, I just mentioned they haven't put up the results that should coincide with all the fanboys I see. So many games I have run into people calling them the best team in dota2. I do not think there is a "best" team, only the current elite ones (Na'Vi IS included, along with mTw, mouz, EG, and a few others).
