My friend and I have been experimenting around with combinations of heroes that work well with each other and have cheap combinations of moves to make people rage quit.(Because why else would you play the game  . I'm asking others, what cheap hero comps have you guys come up with to make people rage quit? Or what good strategies in general have you come up with? | ||

will answer far better than i can =P personally, an annoying thing i've come against is the fact that apparently nukes from tiberius.rancor can be dropped ANYWHERE (either that, or he's hacking) - so if you retreat from a battle he can time and nuke you as you try to heal up. | ||

The SC2 versions are just really sloppy. The shop menu is really clunky and unorganized. Healthbars are crappy for last hitting. Last time i played the map they were using zerglings as creeps and they are stupid hard to target. The models are just clumped up and bulky to last hit properly. You can't see very well and the game itself isn't very refined at all. A lot of the animations are poor and it's hard to tell whats going on. There is really no reason to try and force a DotA clone into SC2 when you can play LoL for free, DotA for free if you have warcraft 3 and HoN (the most professional clone) for just $30. | ||

It's by far the best DotA style game out, and it's completely free! (This is of course only when you're bored of SC2  ) | ||

I remember early DotA being "balanced" and clunky. | ||

Give it a few months till they figured it out. So far stick to WC3-DotA (or HoN or LoL if thats more of your flavour). | ||

Dota is a refined and balanced game with great attention to detail that most players won't even notice or understand (example: tangoes and ironwood branches or seemingly inconsequential (but not inconsequential) nerfs that take out 1 base damage). there is a reason why Dota was played at WCG--because it's competitive. and it's competitive because it is balanced. Sotis has a number of problems: user interface is horrible, the leadership is obviously held by someone who does not have a deep understanding of game mechanics, and of course, balance issues. the only thing going for it is that it looks pretty. | ||

Anyone who played DotA and compares "balance and polish" to SotIS obviously never played DotA pre-Allstars either. DotA has come a LONG way from being something heavily competitive from a pretty indistinguishable map back in the day. Give SotIS some time before yacking at it. | ||

Keep in mind this UMS map CLEARLY needs a lot of work. I was surprised to see a Dota clone out so fast, but I hope it improves. Some of the proplems people posted need to be addressed... the shop UI is terrible, and in general the map seems cluttered and a bit faster than dota (someone mentioned the attack speeds being to high by default). Anyways, I hope this map improves, I will certainly be watching it. | ||

I have a hard time figuring out optimal buying strategies  Generally I get the +2 health regen then get the veneral inhibitor or whatever that gives the speed bonus and the aura of health or mana regen. For heroes like the ghost I think it may be good to rush to stabilizer so you can stay near combat and level up without having to go back to base. Getting stab also allows you to go rail gun next then force plating for a quick shc, but I'm not sure if this is the best way to go about things. Biggest problem is that you're relatively weak compared to heroes that didn't rush stab early on, and then once you get it you're potentially facing damage upgraded heroes until you get the rail gun. Also, I'm not completely sure about this but there should only be once aoe hero per lane! I was playing a game where my buddy was the dark templar while I was the high templar and often times his aoe balls were competing with my swarms | ||

LoL is a terrible clone IMO :[ HoN is soooooo good but I still think that there should be an SC2 version of DotA. I don't understand the people objecting this, seeing as how it REALLY does not affect them whether or not people make it. | ||

about battle net suit for DotA or not? i dont think its a problem. Blizz is having lots of map making contest right now and im sure they will make a custom ladder if they found a project that has big potential. | ||
