10 armor gives 37,5% damage reduction, -10 armor gives 46,1% damage increase. Considering these values are correct, If the enemy has 10 armor and gets it reduced to 0, he will take 60% more damage from attacks. If he has 0 armor and gets it reduced to -10, he will take 46,1% more damage from attacks. So armor reduction gets stronger as the armor increases. | ||

negative armor scaling below 0 is quite good for a bit, for example, -10 armor is around +45% physical dmg, but it dramatically loses power past that whereby even -20 armor is only around +70% physical dmg, so in that day its less useful than if they have positive armor in practice ex. if you have -10 armor, against somebody with 10 armor, you'll do 1/(.625) dmg = 60% more dmg to them than if you didn't have reduction, which is better than negative armor scaling compared to if they had 0 armor also, its pretty accepted in most situations that going 1-1-1, and maxing refraction is the best way to go, then it probably depends on team composition and dps environment as to whether to max meld or blades first after that | ||

Russian DotA2 WCG qual already dated etc.... Need some legit news source to confirm all these. Has WCG ever picked a game that was still in beta stage? I don't think so. Would be great for dota2, but if WCG still sees itself as the esports olympics, wouldn't it be against their spirit to pick a game that is not even available to everybody? | ||

It is available for everybody though, they've been selling beta access for a while now. | ||

Writer talks about the voting process for a game to be considered. He goes on about how in addition to players voting to their game, the viewers votes are also important. He then state that the developer needs to be in agreement with the various parties as well. So he thinks Dota 2 will make it as an official game title because it is popular in most countries, thereby securing enough votes from the players and viewers. He also thinks that there is no way for Valve to give up this chance to promote the game. | ||
