They should have just said "Look, we spent years getting real good at this dragon tech. We tried the dog tech to get him to pet the dog and it looks like super trash. So we didn't do it."

I'll accept that animating a wolf being pet is hard. Just say its hard and they didn't have the time to get it right.

This looks cool. If I ever get enough disposable income to drop more than $300 on this, I might consider it when they ship to NA.

Dota is such a time sink. I love the highs it provides, but keeping up with the game is a full time hobby. Maybe someday I will return, but not in the near future.

Yeah I can only play few hours of games like every few weeks nowadays.

How did i sink in so much time in dota like years ago i couldn't even understand now. Like everything right now is split between socialization, other hobbies(reading books, TTRPG, internet, boxing etc), work, training. Like i basically make a pie-chart of how much hours i spend on each in my head almost all the time.

Idk how i got time for dotes and school/work plus socializijng before.

Wish i just spam dotes like for something with so much negativity. I can't deny it is fun even if it was emotionally taxing

DotA's hard to sink time into too if you don't have a lot of it. If you're only able to play 1-2 a day it's tough to keep up on some skills like LH/Deny. But even beyond that if you can only play 1 game you're really taking a chance, there's a pretty high odds that your game is going to be one of those ones where your teammates are toxic + bad and you just get stomped into the ground without being able to find much space to do anything interesting. Those stomps still take up all of your free time, but make a really unsatisfying experience.

I find it easy to maintain support skill even with playing a lot less. Last hitting takes a lot of practice, but if you never do that anyways then it isn't too bad.

I could only realistically play 1-2 games a week and there is no way I'm going to be able to keep up any skill with last hitting. I took 3 weeks off of Sekiro when I got to the last boss and was a a bit of a turnip when I got back into it. It took a couple hours just to get back on point and start progressing through boss stages.

My ideal, pie in the sky version of Dota/street fighter/starcraft/Titan fall or whatever is one that is like an amateur basket ball league, where working people go on the weekend to play against each other. There are teams and its fine if a couple people are way better than everyone, because you just split those players up. But that would require Dota to be as easy to pick up as basket ball and for me to find 9 other like minded people who were not all over the globe to do it.

That's a reason why I quit.

I think Season 7 (so far, 3 episodes) of GoT, its pretty cool, but i think this is the slowest the show has ever been, its definetely better than 5 (by far), but so far nothiing is really happening way too much build up, hope it pays off, but its only 7 episodes so... im starting to believe they cut season 7 and 8 to extend the show a bit

I found that to be a bit of the opposite really in some ways, or at least more complicated. If I play a carry (but not mid) I can use my game knowledge to run efficient farming patterns and even if my early last hits were weak I could make up for it. But as support it's really important to be able to maximize what little farming time you have so if I'm missing last hits or pull & stack timings I'm really missing out. So I was often ending up as super poor support in situations where I'd otherwise have the opportunity to get a bit of gold and have some farm.

It'd be really interesting actually if there was some sort of casual/weekend like league you could automate in these games (like sign up for a time slot and then get to play random games from a limited match pool during that time). I think you'd have the problem of people cheesing their way into or not enough people showing up it so it'd never work, but it'd be an amazing feature if you could pull it off.

Automated match making is the bane of any feature like the one I described. That type of play needs to be moderated, either by peers playing the game or a human moderator. No company is going to do that.
