does anyone else think these games skill level is kinda of average? i watched a lot of dota1 back in the day, and those games just seemed so much better in terms of skill level, individual and team, is it because dota2 is new? or maybe because china is still playing a lot of dota1?


Not all of the heroes from Dota 1 is ported to Dota 2 yet.
That's why we can't see the full potential of Dota 2 yet.

I cant think of any key heros that arent added yet.... And regardless if some heros arent there that shouldnt affect the skill level


SK + TC are pretty key heroes.

soul keeper?

read my post above, the number of heros shouldnt affect skill level, if you pick 5 heros you should play well with them, the heros left in the pool shouildnt affect your skill level

honestly there's been some games where a team has played like shit but if you've watched lgd play this tournament and you think the skill level doesn't exist i dont know what to say. you've got nostalgia goggles on

yeah LGD is playing really well.

I dont know though, i mean is anyone going to say any of these teams hold a candle to old school sGty?

i guess i am biased to dota1 though =/


The game is young - give it time man

depends on the team, not every team is better than what we had before, this ehome for example is nothing compared to EHOME 2010, even though the core players are still the same.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Only at this tournament though, which has basically the top 3 duos in Dota 2. I would easily put them above casters like Purge or Sheever.

yeah old ehome was sick too, X just isnt the same as the old X. also the old meta game gave more room for finese imo. watching 2010/2011 SMM DWC etc there just so much jaw dropping play.

Also there isnt really anyone who can match the level that 820/2009/ZSMJ/YaphetS got to. Not yet at least.

I actually like these commentators more than Toby now. Yeah he's amazing at yelling during team fights but his cringes worthy moments have been happening more often it seems like.

2009/ZSMJ ?Sure-ish, but 820?Nostalgia is really strong on this one, I think X might have improved, he is just not getting to play the heroes to show it, apart from rubick that is, my point was that the team as a whole was much better than this one, not the individuals, I don't believe on dota players degrading(unless they stop playing for a while entirely) as experience is much more important than the mechanical aspect.

Teams really need to stop being so manly and letting Morph get through. Yeah you can argue there are other carries similar to him, but none as effective. Antimage is nothing until BF or Manta. Morph is a walking god from level 1.
