But that's just my opinion, as someone who has no understanding of Chess.As an Avid SC2 (Masters) and LoL (Gold) watcher, who just watched that last game as their first ever DotA2 game, all I got out of it was, "Why doesn't everyone just pick Batrider and win?" I'm watching a second game now since there's no League to watch this weekend, but so far it mostly it just seems like a fast paced cf to me, and picking Batrider is an instant win. There seems to be no semblance of strategy that I can tell so far. It's really hard for me to tell what's going on in a fight. Of course, I've also read that most of what decides a DotA game happens in champ select because of the large number of hard counters. So I'm not completely sure. Hoping this game is more entertaining to watch. If you can tell me what to watch for so I know what makes for a good play in this game, I would love to be educated. All I know is the basics of the genre, plus the deny mechanic. The whole "hard counters" argument is something I hear a lot from people outside of Dota. It really isn't true. There are a lot of soft counters. If you have a hero and the opponent has 0 soft counters to that hero, you will have to rely more on movement and map control. You're not just going to lose. Quite frankly a lot of the talks about 'outdrafts' are from people who don't understand the game all that great. It's something pro players will not say all that often. Because there are so many things which go into a successful game, if you lose, saying it was the draft is just an easy way out. IT could just be you didn't hit your timing window, because of this the game goes later, and your line-up is useless. People call it a draft lost, even though it wasn't. | ||

Like I said, it's really hard for Valve to fix that bug perfectly even though it's acknowledged as being one. | ||
