GL with DotA, and welcome to the scene. Keep in mind the angry vocal people are a tiny percentage of the population.

"hard game" is a completely useless word in every computer-game. Playing against equipollent opponents is far more enjoyable and important! Look Flash without JD, Fantasy & Bisu etc in BW or Moon without Grubby, Sky etc in WC3.

My biggest dislike is sc2-design: 200/200 takes ~2sec fights, buildorder wins, only hardcounter units etc.

Most probably won't remember, but BabyKnight played DotA before he made the switch to SC2.
There's even a tribute song dedicated to him by his old captain, Drayich.
Enjoy:

I suddenly recalled the conversation that we had a month ago when playing CS:GO and I said something like Jon, you gotta try Dota again, I always remember those times of Dota League when I supported your pretty ass playing SF and often cry myself to sleep

Jon said the he cant, that hes a fulltime SC progamer and he cant get addicted to anything else then SC

I just hope that the whole TL wont kill me for that, lets all cheer for Babyknight in Dota because this guy still has it! <3
it's good to be the king

Maybe to you, not to me. I'd much rather watch Flash without JD/Stork/Bisu in a game as hard as brood war (not it's not useless, brood war is so fucking hard to even makro/micro probably in that just seeing somebody do that properly is really impressive, whereas in star 2 just makroing perfectly is a lot less impressive as it's way easier to do) than having an inferior/easier game like say call of duty with close competition. Games have been continuously dumbed down since the end of the 20th century and that trend is continuing. UT is a dumbed down version of Quake just as SC2 is way easier than BW. Or how fps essentially went from fast past arena games to slow as fuck games like call of duty that reduced aiming to the point of my grandma being able to do it.

Maybe to you a games difficulty is unimportant and you simply care about close competition, for me the joy of watching progamers, in any game, is them doing shit that I can't even imagine doing myself due to the difficulty of the game.

I too, found myself playing dota2 far more than SC2 ever since HotS came out. Blizzard just don't seem to care enough about SC2 for me to remain interested in it.Its not like there aren't things for Blizzard to improve on the game/bnet, they refuse to dedicate a decent amount of resources to it and I'm tired of their excuses, failed promises and PR dribble.

So Enjoy Dota2 babyknight I support you!

Agree 100%.
OT ->
+ Show Spoiler +
was discussing this with a friend recently.

Although it is known that some races are worse in lategame then others even since WoL, there were only small or unreasonable changes made by blizzard. And from patch to patch you can only hope that they finally make a big change.
So the game at first startet to get boring to play and now boring to watch. Be it because of always the same matchups, or because WHEN these matchups happen, there is almost no variation, or - and this bugs me most, there is a boring macro-up phase, one waaaay to fast fight and then its over. More frustrating from a bio terran point of view is, when you watch the terran, that constantly harasses, drops, makes damage while the other player (protoss, zerg and sometimes even terran, so no balance whine intended) leans back and builds his army and walks over the terran with his big lategame army. Be it thx to fungal, blinding cloud, banelinghits or bombs, uncatchable mutas that regen or because of 3 storms - army gone, then walk over with colossi and archons or whatever, or be it bc of the huge mech ball...
I've had enough of blizzards "game is fine, we have 50% winrate", the game just doesn't feel it needs the same effort for every race, and it rewards all-ins too much and therefore the holy grail "randomness" that was so key in the developement prevents from the very best players dominating - which would be what they earn but never get in sc2. Or did we ever get to see a player dominating and winning every tournament he participatet over several months like we saw it in BW, where we called them players "god" or "god of war"?.
I was tired of the constant balance whine, when some races got some abilities, that blizzard will never change, although they clearly need less skill then in BW to make this ability work efficiently. Warpin, Inject, Mule, Chrono (that, as funny as it is, isn't even required to be used in the endgame, but SHOULDN'T it be? Cause it is an awesome ability...but you can win without accelerating building units I guess. So many Nexi always having full engery),Blink (at least in the allins, I don't mind it in "normal" play, where it is necessary for the toss (e.g. in fight against fee units spawners like BL or SH). Brood Loards and SH and Fungal Change (whoever watched GSL saw, that if it is used right, it is still extremely powerful...), also no WM anymore but something different, no muta regen (were Mutas UP in WoL?)....


but that is something, that doesn't belong here, and Blizzard won't change it, not even with the addons. Switching races gave me the satisfaction for now (complaining that other races are imba is stupid as long as you don't play the race to the max. But then I am no pro gamer, so switching races helps to get easier wins in leagues beyond GM), and because it is more rewarding/entertaining for a period of time, I understand the switch of a race or even a game and with Babyknight, who I always enjoyed watching,(and that is even though it is the race I found least entertaining to watch, mind you), and hope he enjoys Dota2. Cause If he wan'ts to be a Pro there, he will play it several hours a day, for several months or years even - and therefore I hope what he does for several months or years, he really enjoys.

And IF there are major changes in the Protoss-Addon, and BK comes back, I will gladly welcome him back and watch his games again

Wow that's sad, I thought you were a really likeable guy and not only were you a good player but a good caster as well, which I noticed at HSC. Either way best of luck with Dota, I don't really like the game so I don't really see how I could support you as I don't follow the game, but I certainly hope you will do well. Hopefully you will be back in lotv!

I will play my WCS matches while I'm still part of the system, but if/once I'm knocked completely out (of Challenger) you probably won't be seeing me play StarCraft II for quite some time.

That would be a good idea, the best non-Terran player actually is YoGo.
