Shockingly, people use words as the primary route of communication. Lets all be surprised now, because its not like humans are designed to understand and process words quickly with zero effort.

you mean camera lock? you can turn it off so you can scroll freely

on the subject of alt+click communication, some people i play with are too reliant on voice comms and will outright ignore anything that isn't verbally announced. like if i alt click stuff like enemy items, my skill cooldowns etc... they'll still be surprised two minutes later that the enemy OD has a hex, or that my ult isn't ready.


I already turned it off (i remember i did), i can click on mini map to see whats going on to fights etc but the camera tends to focus on myself when i am controlling my hero, i know i sound confusing here but in dota you can scroll/move your camera to anywhere on the map but in this bliz moba your camera likes to focus on you.

I still don't understand what you mean by "likes to focus on you". Can you edge scroll by moving your mouse to the edge of the screen? Is the camera constantly following your hero, like in a 3rd person game? I'm still pretty sure you have your camera lock on if any time you issue a command, your camera snaps back to your hero

No, i think you are 100% right. I think the people arguing that "no, pros use ESP, Starsense and the Game UI" seems totally silly when they could just talk to each other.

The players who are really used to one another get a sense for what the others are doing. You see this when you watch top-level games: there are sometimes complicated plays that take place in far less time than speaking would be able to communicate. Hence the "not speaking" part.

It's not ESP to know someone well.

I hope EEL continues to go well and the CIS pros will keep playing it.

Just like NEL.

edit :

pretty fucking sure it's the combination of talking and "get" the feeling of the situation thing are both needed

Every time I log into the NEL client there are like 2-5 games on simultaneously. Usually the league goes for a short while but then it dies down and you maybe get 1-2 games a day. Not this time though.
