In Starcraft 2, I don't have time to pay attention to my chatboxes or adjust settings after 2 minutes into the game. There is much more to the game than controlling one unit. This is comparing almonds and oranges read the title and the op its comparing fucking UI(user interface if you dont know which you probably dont know) and NOT gameplay User was warned for this post | ||

Maybe it's because sc2 is the first game I've really played besides rpgs, but it does do it's job right? No it doesn't :/ It's missing key features, and even more depressing : key features that were present in earlier Blizzard games. | ||

The starcraft UI should be ashamed of itself being used in such a great game. I soooo miss finding new cool maps and sharing them with my friends in BW and wc3. | ||

1v1 competition versus team play. ofc dota2 is going to maintain a large focus on clan/team functions. especially chat related due to the glaring mistakes of past team games where the community had to resort to outside mediums to function properly on any competitive level (mIRC for example). these design ideas are also congruent with the idea that games tend to be on the long side (if they are good); meaning players will inevitably HAVE to keep good contact with consistent players to have any sort of stable mass competition/ranking system. relying on pick up games for the majority of regular players is what inevitably led to the horrible image the dota community currently holds. as far as im concerned. interfaces are designed for their utility and practicality. so much emphasis on "learning" techniques is due to the nature of the game; a large amount of heroes, items, spells, etc creates a steep learning curve for the game because of the sheer amount of "things" you need to memorize to be any good at the game. where as a game like starcraft is easily learned through repetition; especially made easy with the fact that you play single relatively short games one after the other where the scope of mechanics is smaller albeit refined. dota also doesnt have the third party community that sc:bw/sc2 has. they NEED to have the features like "top live matches" or else the competitive scene would naturally take longer to mature as that sort of information can be found in so few places. anywho; im just playing devils advocate as dota2's chat and team features are indeed "better" than bnet 2.0's. but, id still like to remind people that the ui designers keep the average user in mind. sc2 players want to jump on bnet and get in and out of however many games they want to play; where as dota requires a much larger time investment to play. there is a reason the "find ladder game" button is one of the largest and brightest on the screen. | ||

The features in particular that I sorely miss in SC2 after playing 200 games of the DotA beta are: + Spectating Games in Progress + In-Client search engine for finding replays + Ease of spectating friend's games (Click + Watch Game) + Directed Spectating camera (AI driven spectator that never misses a kill) + Player Perspective (Spectating Camera Option -- Shows the selected player's screen & mouse movements) + Cross-Region Play + Developer Console for Customizing My Game Experience (Changing minimap dot size, right click deny, etc) + And Lastly, sort of unfair comparison, integration with Steam for friendslist/chat systems | ||

DotA2 essentially just took WC3 UI and improved upon it, because DotA was on WC3 TFT. The piss poor thing is, that Battlenet 2.0 fails against Battlenet 1.0 It´s completely beyond reason why they don´t have things they already had years ago. Yes, LAN is removed for copyright reasons. I can live with that. But why were all the other things removed? | ||

But if you want to convince Blizzard this isn't the place either and they are well aware of the complaints they recieve on their own forums. and Dota 2 still isn't on par with HoN, it needs a god damn voting system. | ||
