[A] abused Naga song vs Spectre. I see no difference here

Fountain hook are quite more difficult to land, than press "R" to be honest

Why are people complaining about the hooks?

Because the idiot has killed 6 guys with this abusive one shot bulls**t?

He's mad.

his right. This is a competitive game. This type of bullshit shouldnt be allowed, especially for a competitive game like Dota 2


hey guys let's ban out all unconventional hero combos because a few crybabies on TL don't like it!

the hook and chen skill for 1 kill, dont you think that is abit unfair?

No, it isn't really that good. It also takes the pudge out of the fight (remember towers are down later in game) and he is a mid hero. So you better trade for a carry.


It's relatively low risk for extremely high reward. Pudge has no risk to die, and once towers are down later in the game any fountain hook attempts on Navis side had very very low risk since he doesn't have to go far or TP. On the other hand once it hits late game once you hit a hook you basically win. Can't fault them for using it but it's pretty broken (though admittedly hard to pull off).

You're right it is bullshit.

What's your point?

Go play another game if you don't like it. DotA is about being unfair and taking unfair advantages in unfair but creative ways.

This is an incredibly difficult maneuver to pull off and it's a one trick pony. People are seriously whining way too hard over something meant for entertainment being ENTERTAINING.

The game was 100% deserved, but still is the cheesiest shit I've seen in e-sports, counting BW, LoL, and SC2.

Actually, it's up there with Dark Phoenix back from a year ago at EVO.

Precisely.

And people are saying Na'Vi are killing and disrespecting esports apparently because of this.

This is fucking entertainment


Na'Vi are terrible people for using an intended in-game mechanic to win a game in a tournament where the 1st prize is 1.4 million dollars, they should be banned from all dota tournaments for life

First time watching Dota 2, while it looks completely silly to be able to hook like that, it's was enjoyable to see the comeback.

as far as im concerned. this is another reason why chen should just be banned every game

or pudge too if you dont ban chen.

without the abuse of blatantly overpowered fountain hooks, chen is the bigger threat and the better thing to ban.

People who have a problem with Dota need to take a Dota history lesson.

Every god damn thing in the game is a bug or unintended mechanic turned feature. If it's interesting, or fun, they keep it in. That's just how the game works, that's how it's always worked.

you must have loved the dk vs ig yesterday

if this isn't entertainment what is?


There is a big difference between hating anything that isn't a 90 min farm off and disliking a team winning solely off of the randomness of fountain hooks.
