Worse infrastructure, lack of money despite milking the game as much as they could. If they instead allowed player-hosted servers for private games, they would have my sympathy and you could get some good-latency in-houses/tournaments.

I read back through the last few patches and the changes seem pretty good on the whole. The kongor buffs look significant. I'm interested in watching some competitive matches now.

Ok, so. Where do I find people that want to play original dota. As in competative mindset being serious about team picks and stuff. Because I have been playing on garena for a while and they all seem to just be retards with no brain and no communication just pick a hero you want to play and feed the other team a free win because of our retarded team comp. Should I play on ICCUP or Dotalicious or w/e the f is out there. Get me in a fucking team or somethin.

Wtf - Hon/Dota thread on page 2 of Sports/Games - common guys? What is this!?

If played properly monarch is sooo strong; me and friend went Monarch/Slither and it was absolutely hilarious. The dot plus slow is insanely ridiculous early game

monarch though gets comboed down like a bitch so, a nuker with blink she becomes something to shit on, and unlike nymph of similar survivability she can't be hyper aggressive, nymphs ult helping those jump in. But god dam silences and s2 heroes lol

Never got the skill description on Monarch's first skill.

"Monarch assails target enemy's eyes with crippling pollen, causing it to be temporarily immobilized and silenced."

Why does having something thrown in your eyes silence and immobilize you? Was it previously a blind effect which gave you a 100% miss rate on your autoattacks and S2 never bothered to change it?

It sounds like you have some experience in this matter.

The silence/slow combo is quite evil, kinda forces you into Shrunken/Geo's/Null...Cooldowns are pretty sweet aswell.

Anyone have any insight on melee farmer starting items? hatchet shield tango or hatchet 2x tango/runes and 3 totems/branches? used to be a strong believer in the shield for more survival in lane but I've been experimenting with both recently and cant really tell which one is really superior. having the extra health and extra regen seems to also do well.
