I love how Valve doesn't censor Truesight at all. They leave lines like "kill the fucking bitches", all the players smoke, etc. That's so rare rare to see nowadays, especially in a corporate promotional video like this. I love it.

Also, the leaked OG roster (Topson, Sumail, MidOne, Saksa, n0tail) looks real. Gonna be very interesting to watch them. Really have no idea how strong they're gonna be. I could see them being the best team dota 2 has ever seen, but could also see them struggling in EU qualifiers.

sincerely wonder if they'll go with sumail offlane and midone safelane, that would make the most sense based on their past roles etc

i dont think topson is a great laner per se but imo he is the best player in the world in the post-laning phase at all stages in terms of playing to the limits and recognising when he's invincible on the map which i think being a mid laner accelerates/enables

Seems most likely to me. Topson and Sumail will probably be a flexible 1 and 2 changing lanes based on the hero.

edit: actually, Sumail did play offlane for a while. Who fucking knows how it's gonna work.

Apparently they scrapped a ton of stuff (like updated UI, updated cutscenes), broke a bunch of stuff that has worked for years (the lobby, automated tournaments, ladder) and outsourced the updated models to China.

It looks like shit and doesn't work. Amazing job by Blizzard.

Wasn't there a functional beta for months though? I feel like I've overestimated the quality somewhat.

Literally no opinion on Saksa ans Midone. Never followed them intensly.

Sumail however was hard to miss since he started playing. His ego made headlines and NA fanboys hyped him almost as much as Arteezy.
With me being a hipster and hater of big egos I'm not sure how to feel. Never going to give up my boy n0tail and he's most likely a better judge of character than me. So I'll still fanboy the team and tolerate Sumail.

Dota wise I have no clue where the potential is. I am a 3k scrub

I guess WC3:R was a cheap cash-in on the WC3 revival even more than SC:R. Blizzard even wants the rights to any UMS you make in WC3:R, because they're still that upset over losing the rights to DotA.

What baffles me is that they not only botched the new stuff but also broke the old client along the way

So happy I didn't pre-order it honestly. I was really tempted for a while. I think this is why AOE2HD was amazing honestly. A lot of it wasn't brilliant, but the game worked, and they redid all the horrible Forgotten Empires campaigns. Also AOE2HD didn't have the FUCKING NERVE to charge full price. It was $20 CAD at launch.
