I mean I find the community's obsession with items bizarre and often frustrating (the reddit rage over not getting Perfect World items is particularly funny to me) but when it generates these absurd prize pools for events I don't really mind.

And holy shit fuck yes I've been waiting for new ESEX for a while

e: so is this thread going back to harry potter now lol

Yeah it's just for Axe and it's suppose to only be for the person with the item equipped: other players should see the standard icon.

reddit sure is whiny as hell. in a game with several hundred unique skills having to memorize an extra item icon is suddenly going to lose them their precious 4k MMR games.

Do too much what do any of them affect gameplay?

That was a rhetorical question.

Also most people there who've spent $0 on DOTA really don't have worthwhile opinions imo.

SC2 peeps are defensive as hell like the battered wife to Blizzard's domestic abuse.

That said, ESEX releasing a few articles a month is the biggest reason for low viewership numbers. It's their own fault.
