I've played probably 200 games of DotA and I have no idea which colours are which. I always went by the X's and O's. I dont think ability to memorize colours has anything to do with IQ. IQ is all about problem solving. | ||

When I watch old wc3 matches I can always tell what's going on if not by name but by what's happening. Dota2 if I'm not watching for it I can miss things. Same with sc2. | ||

I don't really care why they made bad decisions, only that they made bad decisions. The point of high contrast colors is not so that i can look at a picture and figure out who is who in a few seconds. Its so i can immediately react to the situation at hand, whether that situation is an ability or a champion, without having to take time to evaluate the situation. The closer in contrast the colors the harder that is to do. This doesn't just mean that following the fight is more difficult for spectators (though it is) it means that the core gameplay mechanism is no longer mechanical skill and decision making but your eyes color differentiation On October 11 2014 12:38 TheYango wrote: It also doesn't matter in like 99% of cases because for the minimap they're still indicated by Xs and Os for each team. You won't know which hero is which on the minimap, but you wouldn't be able to associate a tiny-ass hero portrait to an in-game hero that quickly anyway. Associating a super-scaled down version of the hero's face in their splash art to their in-game model or skill-set is basically impossible unless you know all the heroes to begin with. Its so much easier to associated champion portraits with champions than it is with colored X's and O's its hilarious. Facial recognition is one of the fastest things your brain does. Its much harder to associate a color with a champion than it is a portrait. Especially when the color will change depending on the champion. Fast association is key, and champion portraits are the fastest.

It totally was. There's a comparison because Poland was a satellite state too. The difference between Czech Republic/Slovakia and Poland in GDP is like 35%, sure it's not that much in terms of absolute values because both are relatively small compared to western countries but in terms of % it's pretty big. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita Pick your poison. Also if you're asking about Germany maybe you should read what was written. | ||

Poland is so strong in Civ5 that it is usually considered to be on a tier by itself. | ||

Skins are a large issue. This is why Riot spends so much time ensuring that champion/monsters/minion silhouettes are distinct and do not change across splashes. But they have to make money somewhere so skins are in. Splash art as well. But facial associations can fix themselves over a few games. You don't have that luxury when using colors since its a new association each game. | ||

The minimap icons are like half a centimeter in diameter across. I'm pretty skeptical about a face shrunk down to that size being useful, especially when the faces in question are not distinct human faces, but shades of blue or purple with glowy eyes. | ||

Also if you're asking about Germany maybe you should read what was written. All of my wat. All of it. High contrast colors are no longer 'high contrast' when every champion in the game is shooting them. Watching a League teamfight is 100% as difficult as watching a Dota teamfight, it requires you to know the skills, which champion/hero casts the skills, which team that hero/champion is on, and probably go into the fight already having a guess at when/why those skills will be used so you don't have to identify them on pure reaction. When I watch the worlds replays from this weekend I guarantee I will hear multiple times per game "I want to see the replay of that fight" because even trained spectators miss shit. Also our brains are trained to do facial recognition OF HUMAN BEINGS, not void monsters or somewhat anthropomorphic moving water creatures(and in League's case the splash/map icon isn't always just a face pointed straight at the 'observer'). | ||
