Why so many people hate the game out of KotL+PL+Batrider picks from Allinace? If anything then DK should blame themselves for being overconfident and revealing their hand too soon with Spectre FP.

I suggest people who are still mad about KotL PL read this: http://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/intermediates-guide.html



Has nothing to do with playing to win. Has more to do with the fact that E-sports hinges on having viewers, and Kotl/Pl/Batrider comps are completely boring to watch and simply boring.

Why is it boring?



Would you prefer to watch people actively engage on the map or do you want to watch snooze fests where both KotL and PL PvE while Batrider walks around waiting for someone to stick their head out?
I'd prefer if people didn't incisively whine, thanks.


Yes everything is legit. Can throw a few rat insults but constantly whining post series is just too much. Lets focus on the game at hand.

So now we're pulling the "Killing Esports" card? Why don't you tell us how many thousands of viewers that game lost?



?


You realize how many viewers DotA lost when there was unlimited buybacks, short tp timers, and 70 minute farm fests? Not like the game was big at that point, but DotA was beginning to lose tons of viewers.


The way Alliance play is absurdly boring. They pick nothing but split push/disengage heroes and it's boring as fuck to watch. Extremely effective, and very strong. No doubt at all. But to think that it's 'fun' to watch is hilarious. The fact that you had a crowd cheering for a 4 protect 1 AM strat should tell the story.


Pretty sure watching alliance play kotl pl is incredibly entertaining.


Did u watch their last kotl + pl game?

You mean this one where they ganked almost every time lasso was off cooldown?

You mistake getting ganks in such a fashion to be entertaining. When your bat can get a FREE pickoff without any chance for the other team to engage that isn't really exciting. He's getting free kills but they aren't really forcing fights because there's no way to engage against a force staff blink batrider.
