The nicer interface, spectator mode, etc. is going to be a nice change. Where is the best place to get a beta key? Is it even worth trying to pay for one on eBay? seeing as how most people got their key for free, i would say no, don't pay. Just sign up at the official website or through steam. Also, watch dota2 streams. Lots of streamers are very generous with giving out keys. (just have to get lucky i suppose) if you want to pay, go for it. but isn't that why you don't want to play LoL anymore? | ||

No. It was a lot of other things. Not having to pay for champs is just the cherry on top. I did sign up on the official website. Time to watch some streams I guess. | ||

I do agree that you definitely shouldn't pay for a key, but I feel like streamers don't have many keys to give out. Maybe like 1 or 2 maximum from their invite or friends but they are just like everyone else. They don't have a way of getting keys just because they are streamers. | ||

I just bought Skyrim and posted on Playdota.com; Like 50 people pm'ed me and I got it right away. I think it was well worth $60. Especially considering how much I've spent on League of Legends  | ||

Many streamers i know have given keys to their viewers over giving keys to their own friends and teammates. But yea, it seems no one has keys to give out nowadays, sadly. | ||

DotA 2 is actually 1 patch behind DotA at this point. DotA 6.73 was released around Christmas, and DotA is only at parity with DotA 6.72f (it is expected to be brought up to date in the next patch). The intent is to keep DotA and DotA 2 consistent with one another. | ||

I just played a game where a guy from the opponent team disconnected around hero selection time, and I didn't get a win for that game. Does a person have to dc after 15 minutes or something in order for the other team to get a win? Anyone know? Sorry if this has been answered before, I can't seem to find it. Thanks! | ||

I could be wrong, yet my experience is that whichever team that wins, wins. You get a notice it is free to leave, yet that also means you get a win/loss as normal, just that you don't get an abandon. | ||

Yeah, I usually get a win/loss for the game with dc's but I noticed I didn't get a win for a game with a guy that dc'd really early. I was just wondering if there is a time specification for disconnects so next time I don't have to waste time winning the game. | ||

Balancing and Items also not completely up to date. i REALLY hope that the full dota2 release will be on the same version as dota1 Also some things start to piss me off already. I kinda remember why i quit this game 2 years ago(after hundreds of clanwars) don't know what you expected about the heroes, the game is still in beta and new heroes are added weekly 6.73 is probably getting patched in next thursday | ||

Personally i think some of the heros lost the "style" such -as Storm spirit is now a fat chinese man with a moustache,, or viper a small blue green-like insect,,.. I understand that they wanna change it a bit to avoid copyright issues to blizzard but rly? some heros just lost the coolness in them. Although some was done in a good job such as Prophet or skeleton king(wht a badass look now) I actually like the new storm spirit. He's a hilarious energetic mustached fat chinese man. But yea some of the designs are kinda bad (Venomancer, you radioactive lizard, i'm looking at you, you freak). I'm guessing they'll sell different skins? Who knows. | ||
