But yes, SourceTV is obviously better than a beta Spec mode made by a new company for a game that was released without Spec mode.
Valve had a lot more money to throw at the game than Riot did when the two games were being created. LoL has suffered from having a poor underlying infrastructure for quite some time because they opted for an easier/cheaper method due to their budget.

Valve having more financial backing and DotA being older doesn't detract to the fact that LoL's obs mode is subpar compared to what's out there. There is absolutely no problem with making such a statement.
Frankly, Craton, you need to stop having these kind of kneejerk reactions in GD. How you managed to get
His post was literally nothing more than fanboying about how great Dota 2 is: "GUYS, I JUST FINISHED DOTA 2 AND THE OBS MODE IS THE BEST THING EVER CREATED." Fantastic. Not related to this game at all.
from r.Evo's comments is simply amazing. I probably toot Riot's horn more than anyone else on this subforum and r.Evo didn't rub me the wrong way.

The problem isn't the company. The problem is that RIot needed the game to launch as fast as humanly possible to fill a spot that was missing ie the "casual moba". So they have this incredibly rushed and bad client to work with (Yes even people at Riot says that it's a complete and utter nightmare to work with.) And as someone that has worked with shitty and great clients I can tell you it makes a world of difference. So before they can do ANYTHING really they have to rewrite their entire client.
And Dota 2s spectator mode is so fucking fantastic I want to make love to the man that made it. Seriously after having to deal with shit like lolreplay...

I like to ban all the good junglers at the moment.
Shy,skarner,LeeSin,Shaco,Rammus. Though I try to make sure I can get the Rammus.
On an unrelated note. Why do people insist on trying to save me when 5 people top dive me at a tower? I mean it makes me feel good but I really wish they'd just push a lane and take towers or somesuch instead of trying to be hero's. I feel all of these problems could be solved if I could carry in the jungle like I could prepatch but alas they made that really hard without playing farm all deh lanes.

Surprised you ban all the "good junglers" and leave amumu open. With failed ganks having a much higher impact amumu is great since he can easily get a doublekill botlane with his ult.
|
you think that if a youtube caster cut down on the game and just pieced togeather the ganks and teamfights that happened in a game would that be accepted by fans so you can have a -20 minute youtube that people can now watch in a nice small sitting like sc2?

You know, my problem with mummy is that he has to hit 6 to get that big aoe ult. So he farms till 6minuites or so(more likely 7-8 I havn't ran him post patch) and I feel mummy is countered just by proper warding. Honestly though I just don't feel he's as big of a threat as he's often made out to be what with clense changes.
And suddenly I realize why Oddone buys so many wards. Not because he wants to but because he's the only one who will..woah.
*mind blown*
Also, I need better idea's for my Jungle Tristana. I opened cloth/5pot but I still didn't quit feel fast enough even going my noct page of armorpen/armor/attackspeed. It was success but I felt like I could improve. I've tried Dorans blade it's also okay. Vamp sceptre perhaps with much more attackspeed runes? *ponder*

If your lanes can't survive on their own in 6minutes they need to l2p, and when they try to ward everything so you can't gank(requires 3 wards) you can just do dragon and kill them when they come, just be ready for it.
|
I don't know what you play but where I play by six minutes a lanes normally fed/lost or barely hanging on. Rarely neutral. Then again I've started making a tally of bad/good bot lanes for this month just to amuse myself. I wish I was joking.
|
If your lane has fed/lost(dying once doesn't count as feeding) before the 6minute mark than chances are that your gank won't do anything since they're just terrible. I do know what you mean tho, happens far too often.
Besides, it's not like you can't gank pre6, being 6 just gives you a very high chance @ doublekill+drag which is great gold especially with the new jungle.

Rough data on "banking" as it's implemented on the PBE.
Banking caps don't appear to scale over time. So banking at 6 minutes yield identical rewards to banking at 26 minutes.
It's really freaking late so I didn't have the time to do a fully thorough check on everything, but here's a few values;
Max Wraith Gold Bank: 4g
Max Wraith Exp Bank: 32 exp
Max Golem Gold Bank: 2g
Max Golem Exp Bank: 30 exp
If someone else on the PBE could double check and verify that would be helpful.
