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.

It's a few months too late for "The Elephant in the Room", seeing as the Chinese teams are all switching already.

Just replace "so far" with "until now". :p

Wow... i actually played LoL 'a lot' compare to u guys i guess... was a beta tester after all :-/

Got 2 sets of runes of AP and AD carries. Yi, trist, teemo, ashe, warwick... AP has annie, ryze, the dude looks like Final fantasy, Krthus is like zeus, anivia is the ice bird,.... yeah i think i did played LoL quite a bit in order to talk about it fair and square: DotA2 is better.

talk about panda guide... it just so hard to control multiple unit in dota2... boxing is awkward as fuck and i dont think they will ever fix it as they added in summon units hotkey to solve their problem. The only down side about dota2 from dota1 that i will ever miss.

On topic about panda.. I never had much problems controlling panda's ult. When you split, the earth element is selected by default so you can just press q to throw rocks. Then tab twice to get to the air element panda.

But yeah boxing units simply don't work. It affects me when I'm using jungling heroes. Box 1 of Enigma's eidolons; eh not selected? Why is my hero moving instead? Then watch the eidolon die -_-

The amount of hate in the DotA2 announcement thread is pretty surprising, and it isn't because DotA2 was picked over LoL.

The paraleluniverse comment in that thread takes the cake though, I'll quote it for everyone here:

People who are having problems with Dota 2's micro-mechanics just need to keep practicing. It's really tough, oddly enough even coming from StarCraft or WC3 (maybe not WC3 for me :B). Hotkeying and selecting the proper unit can be fun and challenging, wait til you play Meepo!

It's to be expected. It's an entertaining read though.

well thats a problem isnt it... if you take a look at jaedong of bisu battle micro, they never use hotkey to control High templar or defiler, they use boxing so you can visually measure the casting range as well as free up your control group, reduce the precious amount of action you need to comprehend on your keyboard mid battle. idk... really do hope valve will fix this but it looks like an engine issue so i dont really have my hope up

Dota 2 has micro. I think it has to do with just how important it is. In SC, sure micro can mean losing 1 marine less or kill the extra drone but in Dota 2 losing the micro can mean death leading to a huge gold swing etc.

People shit on the micro in dota 2 but I think it is there and the stakes in it are higher.

As for macro...well teamplay and coordination is a good substitute.

It was a troll post. Both the 'Oh micro, where art though?' and 'The elephant in the room' titles are articles written about SC2. We are joking that someone should write them for Dota2.

Dota is all micro, what really separates it from SC is total lack of multitasking in 98% of heroes. Since I suck at multitasking, the game fits me perfectly(I always feel so lost playing chen :C)

i cant even notice the difference between that and 60.


It is, I can play with that but to get that I had to put render quality at the lowest.... It's either that or going to a lower res it seems and both things are ugly as ****

Okay my team had CK&Veno on easy lane, enemies had Dazzle&Venge.
Guess who got 10 kills on that lane. <.<

Holy fuck. I didn't win a single game for 2 weeks now. (okay it was maybe only 7-8 games)

But those articles written about SC2 had more than a shade of truth in them. Maybe I fail to see the "trollish-ness" in the post. =(. Too many newbies, LoL deriders and ignoramuses running amok now that Dota 2 has been unleashed on the site. Getting snappy at the idiocy.
