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.

Anyone wanna write a "Oh Micro, Where Art Thou?", explaining why dota2 has no micro?


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.


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.

As much as the fanbois on either side may not wish to acknowledge... LoL and DotA are far closer games then you would expect. It's very interesting how the dynamics inside of them actually work.

But this is veering dangerously into the territory of a LoL v the world flame war. Best to be avoided. I did however once write a large piece about the nature of competitive games and what it means to be competitive. For example, Counterstrike is about micro with no macro. Supersmash Bros has no resource or economy management. Starcraft has no team play. LoL/DotA have lowered apm requirements. Yet none of these games are failures in the competitive sense. Sadly the article never really had a place any where so I scrapped it. But perhaps it might find a home elsewhere in exploring what truly makes a competitive eSport.

Now, here's a question I have for you guys. With the unreleased champions like Medusa, Pheonix and Tuskar how would they impact the current hero pool? That is, what do they provide that currently isn't available? For example, the introduction of Naga offered strong and flexible teamfight control and setup while still being a good carry.
It's like, "Is the Federation's Mobile Suit some kind of monster?"

a while ago we even have a discussion on how Darthozzan on that show should not really be representing our(dota/dota2) community as he doesnt really involve with anything... the show quality is pretty much crap, the audio quality of CoL bootcamp video is way better than these guys streaming stationary. Why would you even support such show? May be this is the only show HoN community has?

Tauren Chieftain hands down the most influential unreleased hero currently available in -CM.

If 6.75 adds Phoenix to -CM, he'll be pretty big too.

I really want to see if Troll and Terroblade became useful with the remakes to be honest. I doubt they will be as useless as they were before.

I am curious how they are going to redesign it. I mean, it is a bird... on fire. I am quite curious to see what they come up with.

http://www.twitch.tv/dota2ti/b/330504761

have some hype bitches.

there is a guy currently translating chinese interviews on TI2. Apparently there is rumor that TongFu team was in a very bad mood even before they play Navi which then lead to their poor performance(and a flame between team manager and the reporter). Also a part of the dialog say something about DK.Burning play a really bad CK so DK most likely wont be using CK strat this tournament. If anyone on our forum could confirm the translation, some of those detail could be huge for teams playing in TI2.
