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...


But it wasn't a superfed megacarry 1v5ing a team? It was illusion vs creep PvE dota for the last 30 mins...I don't mind heroes being imba, I mind if they're boring to watch.

Well LoL has no illusions either o_O DotA has variance as I said, there's illusion vs creep PvE dota as well and it's a legit strategy in these types of games.

Maybe you should try arena mode Smite?


Dota has enough variance already without the boring stuff. You said it yourself, DOTA has more variance than most other games, so why would weeding out the most boring strat of them all, which drags games out for so long and eliminates direct Player vs Player interactions be a bad thing? This is why people hated 4p1 dota a few years back, and when the meta shifted the game became a lot more interesting to watch.

Maybe you should watch WoW raids?

Or you can just ban out PL. Pushing strats are valid and part of the game. People need to deal with it.


You ban heroes which you don't want to play against, not necessarily the ones which are the most boring to watch. I don't see why the teams should be forced to use up a ban to ensure the match is good for the spectators. What a stupid argument.

Stop bitching about heroes. If LGD didn't go for Alch, they could have had a better late game hero and been able to push better. But they didn't and that is why they lost. They arn't goign to remove stuff just because a bunch of people whine that its boring for 30 minutes, when it was tense and exciting.

Well Gyrocopter can at least stand up to Alchemist in the lategame. Erases supports in 2 seconds and then Alchemist is alone. Magnus will of course be a pretty huge issue, though. Don't know why they let it through.


Gyrocopter outcarries Alch hard. Not even close late games.

I don't get where people are getting this crap. How many carries can stand up to a full farmed Gryo, like 4 max?

Actually, most CARRIES stand up to Gyro lategame. He has nothing that makes him win a man-fight (every one of his skills adds to his AoE teamfighting ability). The real issue is the pressure he puts on supports with Flak Cannon. But if he's placed in a scenario where the teamfight is decided by whether he can fight their carry straight up and not by how the enemy back-line dies in 2 seconds, he will lose to other carries.


I think most the hate comes from flak cannon escalating so well with satanic/rapier.

This will be interesting though, Alliance usually are the ones to get fast kills. Can they recover when the tides turn?

Flak cannon. Makes him boring to watch imo, but fun to play.

jesus christ every dota carry is boring to watch according to you guys lol

Yeah, I don't think they get how carries work. You don't play them to be exciting.

Boring carries: PL, LD, Gyro, Drow, Naix, Sniper, Naga[rarely played as carry these days tho]
Cool to watch carries: Spectre [prolly only me tho], Void, CK, Morphling, Weaver, Lycan, PA, SF, Razor, Juggernaut, Ursa

Most of it probably only just me.


Don't forget AM. The original boring carry.

I think LGD can win this, Alliance came out of that last match bloody as hell. I don't think they were expecting that.
I want to go back to being weird. I like being weird. Weird is all I've got. That and my sweet style.
