    DOTA 2

    I think this subject gets discussed in too much hyperbole. I'm fine with the suggestion that perhaps the gold or exp bonus are too high, but its just not true that you can get shit on in lanes then transition that into multiple "catch up" teamfight wins that erase your lane shittiness...

    I must say I really have enjoyed the group stages of worlds. I think riot really fixed up their format from last year, and have given the players a lot more exposure compared to last year. Their replay production/interviews translators in general has been really enjoyable. As a casual...

    DOTA 2

    Just because soul ring builds into bloodstone now, doesn't make that a good item for everyone to build into who makes a soul ring normally. Omni definitely shouldn't build bloodstone, it doesn't offer him what he needs as a support. Soulring to BS is like 4000 gold. Force, Aghs, and...

    DOTA 2

    I'm curious how these formula's that give xp and gold will play out in actual games, a lot of the armchair math I've seen doesn't necessarily reflect real game conditions.

    DOTA 2

    I think this will be interesting. A few things stick out to me. No more bottle crow mid, but there are two runes in the river every time. Technically both mids can refresh their bottle. I think the bounty rune + 2 runes implies another goal. I think they are trying to get supports...

    Rosh Pit Reworked how All Pick works in Ranked Matchmaking Picking starts after a 35 second strategy period. Teams alternate picking. Whenever it is a team's turn to pick, anyone on that team can pick for themselves. Teams have up to 30 seconds to pick a hero. If the timer expires...

    Wasteland 2

    I wasn't talking about out of combat - you can do anything you want out of combat. In combat you can swap equipped weapons - as long as that weapon doesn't take ammo its usable the turn you swap it (so melee weapons / explosives) If you swap in say a heavy machine gun - it will have zero...

    Wasteland 2

    I think that there is massive selection bias when people play these kind of combat systems. That said game rules, I'm totally loving it, playing through on hard the first time. Few Tips. The use of explosives is not governed by a skill. So every party should have a good...

    Yes, this is the venue The Theater at Madison Square Garden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ESL One New York It doesn't surprise me the prices though, there is no almost no live esports events on the east coast these days - and the demand is not low. There is at least 5000 rich...

    I did my one roll, No Gold, No God I wanted. Undine. Sweet. As to spending off double the stamina - I see it more of the fact that that I can now attempt any decend or any daily cost 50 sta dungeon (lits/masks/) 5 times instead of 3 regardless of where my account is level wise/stamina...

    Russian Lan Dota just always seems to be really volatile to watch, besides NVMI had both Goblak and DKphobos - people that I know the players on Navi respect/like. Additionally it was a 25k first place lan prize or some such, which in Na'Vis world is not all that much. Let their buddies...

    Twice as much regenerative stamina is a shitload. 288 Stamina vs 144. That's a lot more ability to toss 50 stamina at big cost dungeons without feeling like its a total waste. The evo Mats for the Minerva / Neptune / Ceres are pretty ridiculous.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    When using this method is your turnrate still fixed within the sensitivity range of the stick? So it doesn't allow instant 180's - but the fine aim is equivalent to the same type of PC experience?

    After reading through the Toms Hardware August Recommendations, The i5 4590 and the i5 4690k seem like the processors to get at this time. My question is what kind of motherboard should I pair with this? I would be pairing it with a graphics card in the 200-300 dollar price range.

    So - DQXQ as a leader. What do people think of using a Blue Sonia for the dark activation aspect? Currently my team has these options for subs and I'm not really sure what the best approach would be, you can leave dark orbs off the possible conditions, but for all the times you arn't...

    This game definitely requires some rem luck, but that's why advice is to reroll and reroll and reroll until your account has a leader that can take you places without requiring a pile of other rem shit. Just play the monsters you get after you have that one leader - I'd love to use my blue...

    Roster changing is fine - but don't undervalue name recognition. Doublelift is a much bigger asset than his in game play. He's one of the few players where his total value is as much tied to his community figure/personality than his actual play.

    I think your analysis is spot on - regarding being competitive. I just think that NA LCS is in a wierd place in the financial ecosystem of league. Its awesome the players get salaries, endorsements, streaming revenue, and job security. But when you bring in the other regions of League...

    What incentive does doublelift have to retire? If retirement means making less money - I don't see him doing that. Popularity alone can drive a team financially in league as long as they are merely in the LCS - results are not required beyond not getting relegated. In many ways - a well...

    Right but here's the thing - your team will calibrate its MMR to the skill bracket that playing blinkless slardar will allow. You will get much superior games once your team has calibrated - lets say you normally play mid - but in your friend stack no one plays even a passable 5 except you...

    Do we want a separate MOBA/TCG Forum?

    Dota / League players tend to be a bit more on the obsessive side when it comes to consuming content specifically for the game they play. Maybe instead of a forum we could do a Question/Answer Thread - for each game as an option instead of a whole forum. Even though there may be "better"...
