Lets organize some TL HoN inhouse action sometime this week or next. I'm down for some proper games... I started to idle in the clan teamliquid channel but nobody talks!
Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.

I kept meaning to ask this, where do people play dota these days?

After reading the first page, I installed Garena, took awhile to get it past my firewall ... then found out none of the us rooms use 1.24e. While searching the internet to find a 1.24e US room, I read that garena is full of noobs, leavers, and hackers.

So more searching has led me to:
good battle.net bots/leagues, many of which are european
ranked gaming client
ic cup, but that's mostly russian

Do you guys only play garena?

b.net bots are bad.
leagues are mixed
rgc is decent but people are low skill
iccup is bad connection from US
garena has lots of noobs and leavers like many pubs. havent dealt with that many hackers but i dont play much atm anyway

That's wha happens with automated match making people go off to play games right away vs waiting for pub stomping or IH's


People use automatch making?


I would like to know that too.

Always when i want to automatch it takes 10 minutes or moreO_o

Takes 10min but it's a "great" practice place with no leavers, nostats is like dota on bnet if not worse.

posting in the hon/dota thread asking what people do not like about league of legends might not be a very good idea unless you have a reason to do so and can explain said reason in a proper post that will justify the length of response you seem to expect.

Just because he doesn't play much atm does not mean he's unable to tell you how places are. He is in fact spot on with those descriptions. If you are serious at all about playing dota then you need to make friends and inhouse or join up in a league. And with the last option more likely than not you're going to have to learn to play in 150-200 ms.

If you wanna pub or don't want to put in the effort to take the league route then you're pretty much left with garena or bnet bots, in which case I'd say bnet bots are slightly better. It sucks but its just the reality of dota right now, the popularity has really only remained in asian countries so its hard to play how it used to be in NA/the western world.

I mostly cw on garena and play a few games on bnet with friends.

No idea how good/serious you are, but if you want good pub games the best way to go is probably playing a lot and then trying to get vouched into somewhere. Not so sure where best is for Americans, maybe THR T3 or NADL. (I know THR isn't liked too much here :p)

Just stay the fuck away from NA IHLs, they wouldn't recognize teamwork if it hit them across the face. I learned more from playing euro pick up with 200+ ping than any dumbfuck NA IHL. If you want to be an above average player, go play in any NA IHL; if you actually want to improve your game, go play on IRC and find pick ups. Hell, fucking dota-league is better than anything NA has to offer.

The best part about the NA players? They complain about lag and can't wrap their scrubby little minds over the fact that both Fear and Demon (the only two remaining world-class NA players left) play with stupidly high ping most of the time.

I had some dumbfuck scrub on USEast spam me for 1v1 for a good 30 minutes because he was supposedly T3 THR and "auto-vouch" in all NA leagues. That's who you're expected to play with in NA IHLs.

I actually like the HoN publics games right now. No one leaves and about 85% of people understand warding and will take strategy suggestions. It of course sucks when 2 bads end up on the same team instead of a 1:1 bad split, but over all it gives good games.

These observations are from 1600+ ap/sd games.

Well you got lucky. My last ~40 games at 1700 psr have been 90% shitfests, latest example being voodoo jester/plague rider going straight shrunken/sotm without a single ward/chicken, so our electrician ended up buying it. I really want 1800 psr for some better games, but jesus, that isn't happening anytime soon :@

having 1800 psr wont change much - slightly better players but that much more ego to screw things up.
if you want good games and feel that you are good enough to actually play in them yourself, get a clan or play with friends.

and without trying to be rude, if you cannot reach at least 1800 psr you probably are not as good as a "good game" would require you to reasonably be. there is more to it than buying wards and a monkey.

o.O my voodoo starting build *always* starts with buying a courier, and I'm only in 1500's (since I don't play stats anyways ..)
