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

I'm pretty sure a lot of people went to play other games. Happy?

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


Creative play not allowed.

Creative and entertaining play is ruining the game.

As a new dota watcher, those pudge/chen hooks combo were disgusting to watch. Valve should looking into patching that. Just doesn't make sense to me as a new watcher.

to be honest that was reaally hard to pull of since you have to time the hook with the chen tp ...

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).


Low risk? If they miss they have to 4v5 till pudge comes back, TF was running instead of actually pushing the engage

the hook teleport combo is just toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo gimicky. It's a low risk high reward strat. Yeah sure it takes ALOT OF SKILL but what can the enemy do when the pudge can do it well?

Are the people complaining about this game the same ones that enjoyed that snoozefest of a game yesterday? This game was so fun to watch.
