DotA 2

[Snarf]

I have a feeling it's one of those spambot things I keep hearing about.

i like Mortred.. her last skill really gives the opponent a very serious damage.. especially when she has enough mana.. l-o-l.. but i'm not so sure if mortred really is a girl or a boy..

I used to play the WC3 DotA all the time before one of my friends showed me TF2 (I kno rite), but I still play it every so often.

Back to OP, DotA 2 appears to be just a more aesthetically-appealing version of DotA, so I hope they keep the WC3 version up for a bit longer; the change to Pudge took a piece of my soul (that, and the issue that I've yet to hear of my all-time favorite Goblin Techie's return)>

I have been playing and have noticed a few things I don't like which will probably be fixed later on anyways:

-You cannot preview heroes abilities. I have to blindly pick someone based on general area of expertise and then see what skills they have in game
-I don't like the store setup very much, it seems harder to find things for your character and it seems a little more confusing then it should be, but I probably just need to get used to it
-No teleport back to spawn, you either need to walk back or buy a scroll

Slightly confused here: I thought the only way to get back to spawn was to either walk back OR teleport unless you had a hero who could?

I can tell you right now that isn't going to change unless they implement a casual mode.

It's been like that since the original dota.

all these noobs with their late beta keys and the obvious lol players missing their easymode

bookie: the first two problems you have will likely be addressed (the pickign UI doesnt seem to be finished yet, store is still being changed around)

but the third one will stay the same way it is now


right now it IS a 1:1 copy of original dota. that's pretty much their goal from what i understand. nothing "new" like new heroes or things like that will be introduced until they have everything ported.

also the best news ever: hats are confirmed

also im not sure where i heard this but i remember it being from a reliable source: no gays allowed

LOL

On a related note my only complaint(Other than the store) is the reaction delay is WAY slower than HoN's and that really bothers me. Hopefully it will be implemented later on or something.

I guess LoL just spoiled me then. I never played original DOTA that I can remember.

modify your net settigns like you would with any other source game

the response time is just fine, its the animations that make you think otherwise
