    DOTA 2

    If you're queueing solo, play whatever you want, in whatever lane you want. There is no reason to limit yourself because you are afraid you won't play well enough. That's the entire point of matchmaking. You also have so much to learn that every game will teach you something...

    DOTA 2

    Remake gif, don't have axe selected so we can see your items. That just shows how silly Ember BF is. Since all of those strikes cleave everyone else in that kind of proximity, you can actually watch each ember jump cleave all 4.

    DOTA 2

    Absolutely, why wouldn't you have creativity, its about the stage that you try something different. Just because the total hero pool is pickable by some team, doesn't mean all teams do creative things. Empire for example plays one style, and a small set of heroes. They aren't the...

    This poring tower with no 2x skillup is devilish. My monster box is slowly expanding, At least I was up to 25 stones, and after the event I shouldn't have to expand for a while.

    I think Na'vi wins from creativity more than any other team, and they have no stage fright. They struggle in group stages because other players don't have nerves and they have no urgency. Once it turns into lose and you're out - the whole team takes on an edge - puppey can draft anything in...

    There's two reasons why I chose OOH at his account level. First, I didn't want to farm mystic masks, and unless you're in ocean of heaven you're never looting them. The other is that the dungeon is largely white, So the monoblack grind team hits it a little faster and at the carbuncle...

    Mechwarrior Online

    The fact that you can't brawl IS vs Clan - based on the chassis in the game is accurate to the lore. Side torso non-death is the Case system which in the lore vents the internal explosion out and away from the mech. IS tech will catch up assuming the game lasts long enough (which based on...

    League Of Legends

    Will that new summoner's rift run simultaneously with players in the old one for performance reasons? or is it a complete replacement? It definitely looks awesome compared to how it looked - they kept the league style but created a color pallet a bit less pastel and more like the colors found...

    So now that you're on your way, grind sea god of heaven, and from the stage before beautiful being. Sea God is prefered, and run it until your box fills up with 10+ mystics, then run beautiful being for the dragon fruits as you need them. Build up a box log and you no longer have to...

    Thanks for pointing me out, in our defense our sweet sweet lanes were AM solo, Chysamere doing chen daily, valos 5th picking weaver to mid against him, and last but not least we did the great as hell tide/axe offlane. By 10 minutes am or weaver couldn't farm cause he was level 8000 with...

    5k is a hard ass barrier to breach in solo queue. You either have to be generally rated 5k at any role/position, like omhgee who can play anything it seems. If I random in ranked I will lose 60% of my games unless the randomizer gods are friendly to me and pick me heroes I can play well...

    Ishad's comment on persephone I think is the most relevant to you. I mentioned it in a post I think, she's basically the next best thing to having a luci with the benefit that the team will clear a tad faster due to her +attack multiplier. Additionally as far as the T5's go you never need...

    I'm just glad the main event will not feature bo1 on stage. As far as the round robin format - I don't mind it so much because everyone plays everyone first of all, and second we're talking about an 10 million dollar prize pool. Do you really want to be the team that has eyes on them for...

    DOTA 2

    Its variety, without the ability to split push dota is a completely different game. Mobility is a massive component of what makes Dota great. We have a comparison game in League where the mobility required to split push in a meaningful way is restricted to very few heroes.

    Witcher 3

    I read the article, and really I don't expect this game to be perfect, just perhaps the best blend of different qualities that we have yet played. Part of the issue with large open world games in general is that the combat is a very real secondary aspect to the entire experience. GTA's...

    The way cards are dropping this year, they really upped the volumn, if you play any dota at all you'll easily get to 90% complete. I think I'm getting a card pack every couple games perhaps now.

    This game is just going to change my gaming life. I will remember life before Witcher 3, and life after it. I'd never make such a ridiculous statement, but I honestly believe this has >80% chance of being a game I think I'll still mention in 10 years. The guys as CD Projekt Red are...

    Persephone is a really great leader in your box that you shouldn't overlook. She's basically the second best thing to having a lucifer of your own. She gives 1.5 to everything - so you still get the recovery and hp stats that lucifer teams grind things with. Also paired with a lucifer...

    I saved all the exp I could (fed no metal dragons/gold dragons) etc until my target monster was at least level 50. Then I lost my patience, But that has gotten my Lucifer to max, my Echidna to 98, and my Ltron to 86. Took some extra box space, but you'll really want that anyways.

    I appreciate that you really seem to be in love with HoTS ZProtoss, but what level of skill do you play League or Dota at? You seem to believe that the first 10-20 minutes of a Dota or LoL game are merely forced repeatable tedium to get to the fun part of the game. HoTS can be an...

    No one said it was dumb, we said you were dumb for thinking Mason is a better player than Fear. That just isn't true (yet). Even today. I'm not sure what this weekend proves in your post, that EG can place well in lan events with 3 different players standing in with them because fear has...

    DOTA 2

    A couple things in my post you did miss. First, Starcraft is a much more mechanically demanding game. That really is a truth without debate. While Moba's have no small cap on exploitable APM, there is a definitive limit where the commands would be excessive. Certainly a Pro Dota...

    DOTA 2

    I think a key difference is being missed. Controlling a pure RTS game like Starcraft is very hard. Its extremely stressful to play the base game, there is never any down time in any SC game. You are macro'ing rallying expanding, scouting, microing, dropping. The level of minimap...

    The max mirana arrow stun only takes like 1500 range to reach 5 seconds I thought. The arrow nerf only affects arrows fired in this new .1-.5second range. Which is 150 range? It prevents being able to pointblank stun and follow it up with a double starfall and slightly lowers the arrow...

    Sure certainly, but not every team has a realistic opportunity to shuffle into a winning position - that's my point. I don't think there is any roster Liquid could create that could be an on paper best team in dota or even a legitimate threat to take TI5. The suggestion that every...

    The main thing about some of the highest profile western teams is that they have pretty good contracts - relative to SEA/CHN (if you arn't Tier 1). EG/Alliance/Fanatic/Na'vi - if these teams perform and give a good showing of the brand - I don't see the same need to reform. Now if you...

    Do you only roll once and wait for 5 or 6 hours before rolling again if you did not pull a god? I cannot understate how important it is to fish with pulls to find the hot streak of god RNG. It certainly isn't fool proof and 8 distinct roles could surely be godless. Light EXP is a bitch...
