EPTI couldnt get into a game for like 20 mins, Unable to connect server -message whenever 10/10 is up and starts the game.
Is it me or the servers?

I had that too, I figured it was me as my internet is awful during the day. | ||

Just call them by their actual titles please, I always have to google to see what the abbreviations mean, there's just so many heroes. Also the portraits having no names on them and being generally undescriptive doesn't help. I used to have trouble with it too - in a week of reading here and playing the game i was fine. It will come  | ||

Firstblood happens (on us), guy respawns and I ping the dropped courier. Nothing. His lanemate dies, fails to see the courier (despite my pings and despite the me telling him in chat to activate it) and just walks past by it. Another one dies and simply ignores the dropped courier again. Follow up with me breaking even with the enemy mid and can't gank, both because my Phase Boots are at base. Guess who they blame? Me for not activating the courier of course! | ||

(i can agree it can be confusing if people use those abbreviations for those heroes, but that's more like fuck up on their part) | ||

Technically there's also Soul Keeper, but I don't remember that one really being used. I've also seen Prophet being used for Death Prophet as well as Nature's Prophet. Ussually you can tell by the context they are used, and it's really not a big deal. For newcomers I think using Dota 1 names is probally more confusing than abreviations, and I don't see that changing any time soon. | ||

I agree, in fact after getting a few hundred hours of DotA I've just found myself using the Dota 1 names instead as they're sometimes easier to remember | ||

Carl the Invoker and Ostarion the Skeleton king, really valve? ^^ | ||

Stop calling BH Gondar, PA Mortred, Mirana POTM etc, this game has enough damn names as it is. And as if that wasn't bad enough some items have names too, like Lothars (shadow blade) those are dota1 names not lore names | ||

Only reason they dont have these names in dota 2 I believe is because of copyright. So most people who played dota 1 remember these items and names, and also use them in dota 2. | ||

Ostarion is stupid, though | ||
