If you don't like superfed megacarries 1v5ing teams when fed you can always go watch LoL or something... This is how DotA works. There's multiple ways to play DotA, lame and exciting. Most other games aren't as varied, I think that that's some of DotAs beauty...

Think LGD needed to make their move earlier in that game. Defending against PL and NP while they are chiping your raxes to death is never a good thing

What I saw was Alliance holding onto their advantage as best they could, keeping up immense pressure, and edging out the win the only way they could. It was smart, are people really so upset about PL? Lol

No, game was boring.

when the majority thinks otherwise, your opinion seems strange

I didn't like the game.

Is it wrong being in the minority

//Someone who things Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was actually good

as again i never said opinions are wrong, just strange

Explain what you mean by strange

I think he means he cant understand how someone arrives at a different opinion than him.

I think you should read some sociology

Its so ironic how people complain about PL but not alch...



Maybe because alch can't siege a base for 10 minutes safely from the river?

Alch also actually has to end the game, because Alch loses on even farm to many, many, carries.

Alch teams are actually quite under pressure to actually end the game at particular timings. I don't see why Alch is a hero to complain about.

I don't think they get that Alch is good because of his speed farming, not his robust endgame.


His endgame isnt horrible as long as he has chemical rage up. I find him kind of synonymous to bear late game (not super lategame) where your carrying is limited by one spell essentially, since Alchs ulti just gives him stupid IAS which is one of the most important DPS components lategame when crits/mkb/bashes come out.

Honestly i thought LGD played it out very well, and they had a chance to win definitely, but it was a reach since with that many creeps in the base, and magnus probably having to tp to fountain it isnt really too hard for Loda and bulldog to split up to not both get rped, and at that point both of their dpses were so high you probably need to hit both, and you wont hit both cause i dont think magnus's bkb would last long enough for him to even attempt to catch 2 before getting hexed.

Even though in my opinion on some of those seiges if s4 just did what most clocks do and focused on catching the magnus with hook+cogs to force out bkb, they couldve won fights cause at that point you just have bulldog save hex for sylar and orchid nyx/magnus

What was particularly more beautiful about that overfed alch? (legitimately wondering here)

Nothing, people just want to whine because they think PL is broken when he is awesome.

Would people rather have seen Alliance try to 5-man LGD's high ground, get teamwiped and then LGD have a comeback?

That probably would have been better to watch, but I think Alliance would prefer to not let that happen. LGD is already a team known for enormous swings like that when given the opportunity.



Game was setup to be a stupid game in general. If Magnus team falls behind (which almost always happens with LGD), it always ends up in a split push vs 5 man RP situation.

Clearly we should bring back mechanics that favor turtling then, because everyone loves grind fests of Dusa vs PL.

Sigh... another Alch game. God I hate that hero. Ofc there won't be a fuss over Alch + Visage which is just as bullshit as PL + Kotl.

Calling things "anti-fun" is just a bullshit excuse for hating something. The only people who use that term is Riot devs as an excuse for certain design choices and dumbasses. Either way it's meaningless and should never be used.

I have a feeling the second game will be like the second game against tongfu, Alliance will go more agressive and finish the game faster.

Yeah I have a bad feeling LGD will crumble, but I have a tiny hope .__.
