Hey I can appreciate the Alliance's execution, probably more than most people here.

But 1 game of r[a]t is enough for me. Every style and strategy loses excitement if you see it enough times but rat dota loses its luster the quickest.

It's like trying to watch Citizen Kane. Apparently its a masterpiece of film making (to elitists anyway) but holy fuck its boring.

It's not hating.

I don't mind rat dota if it's under 60 minutes and has more kills.

Just ban Naga and TB.
At least team won't deal with illusion ratting the base.

Think that's the point teams realise "Hey there was this antimage hero in this game much wow". Or at least in 2-3 months, gotta factor the thinktank-time.

So Alliance is fighting VG, a team who has not lost a game forever, and you're angry because they brang VG to fight on their terms and didn't fight on VG's terms...yeah game was boring, no reason to get angry about it.

I agree, Alliance pushed in all the lanes , VG shouldve said "fuck it" and go for it , but they wanted Alliance to go up the hill into them which was never going to happen, Rat dota is when other team is at your towers and you stall with 3-4 while trying to take raxes and avoid actual fights and just trade where you can , i dont see this game as "pure rat" , VG were pinned to there base and didnt want to fight outside of it with their squishy Drow ranger which they cant defend in the open field.
you give away Naga first pick be ready to end the game early or have the balls to go for the win , being pushed in is a given for this hero.

Yup. Teams play what they're comfortable at.
You can't blame chinese dota back in 2010-2012.
You can't blame Alliance playing rat dota in 2013.
And certainly you can't blame chinese dota deathball meta in 2014.

towers now ignore evasion and deal 2000% damage to illusions

thanks icefrog

no-one is saying alliance are dicks for doing it, but it's simply boring to watch. no-one's going to watch dota if it's -that- every game.

at least 10-15 minute deathball pushes involved kills and aggression...

Ya seriously haha, I can see why some people thought this was pretty lame from a spectator standpoint but it is not just alliance fault.


lol how is it not Alliance's fault? Alliance has been the one team in DotA 2 up until this point that pretty much rats whenever they can to win. That's literally how they can win, other wise they can't. Picking Brewmasters means jack in that line-up if they got an Naga, it's so pointless it's amazing.


I think you are clueless for saying that , but ill bite , they pick SPACE creating heroes so Naga can come online - Brew/Clock/Enchantress which all shine in the early/mid , then Naga comes late to finish the game , when C9 picks Naga/TB eveyrone praises them when other team takes NP and split push no one says a word (note that MANY teams runs NP these days) , if you watch Alliance games lately they were the one getting outclassed in the lategame (heroes wise) , so they figured hey this patch is about the ultra late game ? we pick Naga/TB\/Spectre every time to have a chance.
you watched their game vs C9 Naga? they had raxs down and a 21K timber/Lesh and what not and couldnt finish it.
they lost ultra late many games lately with a fighting lineup.
but ppl are so fast to blame alliance when they pick Naga.... whatever.
