PC DotA 2

If they made huskar's magic resist 40% / 50% / 60% / 70%, I think that'd be balanced. You have to time your spells at the right time to kill him, but he's not unkillable. Now, he's just god awful.

Looks good though unfortunately my favourite hero - storm spirit is still nerfed into the ground.

Until you get an arcane rune.

Until you get an arcane rune.

i'm wondering what happens when you get arcane, trigger it then get a regen and zip.

I'm a couple of months clean myself and I have 0 intention of going back to it after looking at that new HUD. Horrible.

 

[Danog]

I'm so sad. This will kill the game

they'll just fix it. They are really good at listening to user feedback.

the new HUD is a dog but i'm sure they'll fix it. I haven't played for a couple of months either. my plan is to come back in a couple more when the kinks have been ironed out of the new version.

Haven't touched this in about a year, interesting update though.

Surely talent trees are unnecessary, like they are adding them for the sake of doing something. May also prevent comebacks.

I like the slightly improved customisability of each hero, think it's worthwhile with the removal of the 'stats pump' skill increase.

But I think that talent tree moved the game to another level, and as you said 'sake of doing something' derived them to something good I guess.

Better than sinking points into stats.

Matchmaking update that just happened should be massive. Solo ranked queues ensure you're not matched up against parties.

And this is something really good for people who do not play in parties, seriously!

I'm not into Dota as much as I was in my younger days but has anyone caught the International yet? Heard it was another 20 million + prize pool which is insane.

Never thought Dota (and competitive gaming as a whole) would become this big ten years ago playing it on a pirated version of Warcraft 3 on Bored Aussie.

Yerp. Best eSport in the world.

Australia has just had its first ever International Winner. Taking home roughly 11 million USD.

Team was a rag tag team formed a week before the open qualifiers, and considered by many to not make it past the group stages. Incredible underdog story.

It was only one player (Ana) the rest of the team is from Europe.

Incredible run though. I was rooting for LGD, so like Geelong they like to choke in finals.

 

[HenrikLundqvist]

Game 4 was insane. Ana is a flog but man did he come up big in the final two games.

Jerax is the best.

**** the stream cut out on me - OG came back to win that game 5?

nice

He is the hard carry and arguably most important player.

Damn, didn't realise The International was on.

Don't play the game anymore, but quite like watching the tournament.
Only video game i watch.

Yep. Led by a Dane and accompanied by two Finns and a Frenchman. Incredible story to go from not even having the numbers just days before the qualifiers to being crowned champions of the biggest event in e-sport history (in terms of prizepool).

The past two years has certainly put the little Aussie community on the map with Australia having one player in the finals last year, who was unfortunately unable to bring it home. This year we've got one to have his name carved on the aegis.

Is there a bigfooty team? What roles/heroes does everyone like to play?

I haven't played in a few years, so not sure of any newish champs or items or who is balanced/OP now, but I used to play a lot and was a very good pub-stomper.

I'd get back into it if BF put together a team. I'd also be happy to play ranked 5s in LoL.
Probably take me a month to learn all the new items/changes though.
