They took MTG off during the broadcast because the numbers were so bad.

Booths give the players a controlled environment, with speakers playing white noise into the booth, and then using a headset+IEMS to isolate both the white noise and crowd, allowing them to focus only on the game. | ||

Combine that with a really good pair of IEMS and you'll get maybe -30dB in ideal conditions. Considering that some players are just using ipod earbuds(almost zero isolation), I really have a hard time believing that the headsets alone playing white noise is enough to washout the commentary during lulls. Booths give the players a controlled environment, with speakers playing white noise into the booth, and then using a headset+IEMS to isolate both the white noise and crowd. Maybe they aren't using the booths because its Summer in LA and they can't get AC in the booths? I mean, the teams are seperated by a room, and I bet the rooms have some sound proofing in them too. | ||

It is in a live audience setting, with broadcasted commentary. Also it's possible to have air conditioned/heated booths. Definitively more expensive, but it is possible to get a fully isolated booth with AC with proper design. | ||

Also phage being changed to armour rather than HP and buffing your MS rather than slowing your opponent. Welp, not a fan of it at all, but I guess it allows them to get rid of the RNG. Why the armour though? Did they think AD+HP was too good? It's really meh now, how can I rush triforce as my offensive item against magic lanes? >.> | ||

Given the current state of Phage I'm not surprised they are trying something different. Now much of an opinion on the change though. | ||

If Mallet still builds out of phage it'll seem kind of weird though since the two items' passives are totally different. | ||

before the new magicres items for example i was really annoyed at the lack of mres choices after they removed FoN. Now they kill ad+hp items or what? If noone uses it, just leave it in, the meta will change anyways. Adding more items doesnt harm anyone. | ||

Muchos items raises the barrier for entry higher than they want. Auto attack slows are dumb anyway. | ||

Riven and Shyvana have high lvl 1 dmg Shyvana has 175 from W, higher than anyone but singed or mundo and mundo loses life while singed can only do damage to targets behind him. Jax can block autos for 2 seconds then return a hundred damage. Creeps? you mean free damage Fiora blocks one auto while returning damage Pantheon if he gets W can set up an aegis immediately and do damage and stun blocking several autos Udyr's a beast. Tiger gives damage and like 40% aspd while proccing twice Xin's Q is damage and knockup Sion's shield can be strong if it lands, otherwise Q is good too Yi can be good if he dodges an ability with his Q though low base stats work against him here. This is where it starts to get situational. But in general the level 1s/2s go to ranged heros because creeps are too powerful to trade against and kiting is easy in a 1v1. That's Cait, Kayle, Vayne, etc.. | ||

Nowhere in this is the implication that I hate DotA, the international was a great event and I'm curious to see how well it did on the only real metric we have for measuring. The only real metric any of us has is if we(or I) enjoyed the event. If we did, then it was a success to us. If we didn't, then Valve didn't properly take advantage of our viewership/participation. That should be the only thing that you can take away, and use as a metric. In the long run, that's all that really matters. | ||

Now, I do not want to have the conversation here (please don't get me in trouble), but if anyone knows of a place where I can read some pros/cons of the games without having to wade through fanboy opinions, that would be great. | ||
