While this thread is labeled "DotA2", this is in fact a community thread first. Many of the users in the TL LoL subforum have been playing as friends for over a year now, so it makes logical sense that they would want to play other games together.

Do not compare DotA2 to LoL, you will get banned.

TL LoL veterans know what is expected. Newcomers be warned.

@equilash are you looking for a hard lane(top for radiant, bot for dire) solo(you vs. 1-3 heroes)? or strong dual lane combination? I would say Bounty Hunter, Clinkz, Weaver, Dark Seer, Clockwork and maybe Windrunner if you botgame her shackle for testing if you wanna solo. Good dual laners would include Juggernaut, Viper, Kunkka, Silencer or any that TheYango suggested in his tips except Lesh who I think is too squishy and skill based to use effectively for someone who is just starting.

Just started playing LoL lvl9 so not playing rankers yet, lulz. Don't know how much more I'm gonna play... I just like the concept of the ELO, divisions and tiers so much better. Probably get to lvl 30 place in bronze 5 and go back to playing dota as my main game.

Reviving this thread because I figured that at least some TL LoLers will want to organize something over Teamspeak or something to watch TI3.

In theory I will also hijack and reorganize r.Evo's OP at some point when I have time.

Oh yeah, I'm totally down for a TeamSpeak group for TI3. Then people can actually explain to me what's going on and I can spam the Dota LR threads <3

Anyone on a voice comm for the wildcard match? Just got home and there's still potentially a lot of match left(1-1 game 3).

Won't be on for this one, but will be for the 1v1 tournament later, as well as most matches tomorrow.

I'd be interested in a teamspeak group, assuming I remember about it :p

Razor was banned 2/3 games and also was mentioned as a possible pick a lot by Tobi, is this a Rattlesnake/Quantic thing? or is Razor a hero that might have a break out similar to Morph last year?

He's seen a decent amount of play in the tourney's running up to TI3, dunno if he'll have a huge ubiquitous breakout like Morph did, but he should be around a bit ya.

It won't be like Morph--the hero's kit isn't well rounded enough, but I expect to see quite a few 2nd/3rd phase Razor bans given his situational usefulness.

On TL TS right now under the TL LoL section, though it seems things haven't started yet.

Razor just got picked up by Zenith perhaps time to see what the bans are about. (on BTS stream)

Wisp looks so OP. And is Morphling still a good carry?

Morphling is a decent carry, certain teams will pick him more than others because their carry is a very good morphling. He's not alchemist/gyro/naix level tho

Probably the wrong thread but I'm gonna ask anyways. As someone who has never ever played DotA, what should I look for in the upcoming match at TI3, considering that I can only watch one thing (objective, hero) most likely?

I'm no expert,but I like to watch the solo mid roam to apply pressure and how teams get their melee hard carry fed.

30 min of PL illusion pushing zzz, and then the casters all call it a great game at the end. I mean the ending was super close, but it can't save that 35-60 min timeperiod.

well played game, not saying anything like playing pl is cheap, just saying it was super boring to spectate.

Realistically, LGD played too passive, though Alliance didn't really leave any openings and they couldn't win a straight-up teamfight until the Alchemist got AC.

Alliance didn't blindly split-push, they took the teamfights they knew they could win. They were just correctly careful about recognizing LGD's strong timings and not over-committing to fights they wouldn't win (e.g. pretty much dodging teamfights at Alch's major item timings).
