    DOTA 2

    The wards dotting everything is a lot better than you're giving the change credit for - you can place a ward have it shoot one time - and do a decent amount more than 1 shot worth of damage. His harass went way up - especially if you assume that the ward strike has quite a bit longer range...

    Forced - Steam(maybe 360/psn)

    Save 20% on FORCED on Steam This is an Action game along the lines of Alien Swarm from a control standpoint - left stick is movement up down left right - right stick is free spinning look. The twist is there is 4 classes plus an "orb" that each player can call to him or herself to...

    Red Baron Remake on Kickstarter

    All I know is that this game sucked hundreds of hours of my life - playing with actual death on your pilot - I never survived to the end of the war as my kid self. I think my best was like 3 months from the end of the war - game was absolutely great. I'm a flight sim junkie but nothing has...

    DOTA 2

    So the basic idea around jungle stacking - is that every camp in dota has more or less a box around it - and they are goofy shaped sometimes. If there are no players, wards, or creeps inside that box when the clock ticks *:00 another stack will spawn. What that means specifically is there...

    DOTA 2

    Brood is still a situational hero strictly from the standpoint that spiderlings are worth a lot of bounty if they are being killed by the enemy - that said there are a lot of heroes who cannot kill them effectively and brood will shine in any game where they don't have sufficient waveclear to...

    Patch just went live. EMS one I think has Navi vs Speed coming up on 6.79. Assuming mouz wins this current game.

    DOTA 2

    I just like the fact that the dota community is generally quite open to how these changes tend to go down. I'm not sure any other game could handle this level of tweaking at once. I don't think they can mass patch league like that since the champions are purchased with play time or money...

    DOTA 2

    Just think of it as a perk of the hero in the current game - just like clock can cog block. Making a 20 or 30 creep wave in pub dota is kinda hilarious though!

    DOTA 2

    So Defensive trilanes work in pro dota because a few very specific criteria. Those are that every single creepwave will be denied in the ideal planned scenario - a friendly creep will never approach the enemy tower. And additionally, the two trilane supports will stack pull and farm the...

    Tranquil boots are stupidly bad while fighting - giving them a slightly better broken movement speed is good. *Non-Ancient Neutrals now split XP with all heroes in the AoE instead of just the team that killed them * Swapped the medium pullable Neutral Camp with the small camp * Satyr...

    DOTA 2

    I think the main thing that that it creates for skywraith is an interesting combination with other heroes on the team that have specific lockdown - chain stun into double ult can be pretty potent. He himself doesn't have the full utility to land two ults - and it does make him have a much...

    DOTA 2

    Welcome to dota - this is why the game has evolved - but remained stable. If any of this shit just appears crazy broke we'll get the sub patches to fix bugs and adjust things. Keep in mind the skywrath / rubick aghs changes perhaps make them a hero you want to play mid again - support...

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    It really depends on the difficulty you're playing at. I chose to play the game from the jump on ironman classic, I think it really changes the resource pinch a lot. If you haven't try out ironman with the expansion - it adds a lot more to the experience in my opinion. Many skills or game...

    You're gonna see some of the very best dota teams in the world right now if you go. If you like watching dota it will be amazing games. The three best teams in the world are going to be there - and it will be the first time DK plays Navi and Alliance after TI3. Plus all on Lan.

    XCOM: Enemy Within

    If you didn't play EU on ironman you should create a custom random soldier name file with your friends / guild members / family. This way when your soldiers die you know them and you can tell your family all the great stories of their heroics and foolish actions. You get a lot more play time...

    I dislike bat as much as the next guy, and I don't think there is much wiggle room for his kit. Even though he's been banned or pick in all those games his winrate is 53% in a really quick sort of datdota.com - I didn't filter for patches or anything. 53% throws him right in the middle of...

    League Of Legends

    Here is a quick visualization of what TI3's structure looked like - group stages seeded you into brackets, and lower seeds got put in best of 1 win or die scenarios in the loser's bracket. It definitely isn't perfect - but it is something to compare total games played to what riot put on...

    DOTA 2

    So if you are mechanically comfortable with clicking to move - navigating the shop and map. Truly you should spend your time playing people. Match making is going to place you with people on your level most of the time. The thing about dota is that you are never going to master it...

    Once a monster is 5 star - you just power up fusion them with the 5 mats it takes - and you get an option to just earn xp or turn it to its next evo (like giving neptune dark or light)

    The game is free - the egg machine is a randomized rolls they don't need to keep it balanced - just keep people paying. And yes I've done hera / 2 heroes stuff like that without a luci - But you're talking about being forced to level 3-5 monsters to make health requirements only and they slog...

    Just to reiterate DF's post, without AA luci - I've more or less just started logging in collect stones (I don't intend to spend a dime) Until I roll him - the grind and cost of working an inferior alternative team up doesn't interest me. If I pull him, I'll probably play a lot more again.

    Super meat boy has a really tight platforming gameplay though, a controller that does not react rapidly and appropriately would make it impossible to play at the highest level (watch some of the speed runs). I.E. If there was latency from the controller, or if the pads were not precise...

    AA lucifer is so useful, that I've basically stopped playing - trying to rig teams for health req's or burn down potential when shit goes berserk just got tedious. The one good things there is generally a lot better event and special dungeon / free stone schedule on the us side of the game...

    Kunkka does work - abbadon was basically babysitting me with the shield - so I could continually set up splash hits by being broken out of cc, Boat rum also delays damage for quite some time - its hard to quantify all the times people don't die because rum draws out the fight. The Witch...

    Dawngate - MOBA from Waystone

    There is no room for a yet easier simple dumbed down moba. League has it right in simplified mechanics with a symmetrical map - and very roll oriented hero design. Maybe a few people will have fun - but they would have never played the two good mobas.

    SteamOS

    I think that I'd like to see reviews before I judge - if the sensitivity is what they suggest - you already are required to shift your thumb off the right analog stick on a console gamepad. The difference in the steam design is that your thumb just extends across the pad instead of curling...

    League Of Legends

    I can't believe the top 4 teams got put in a position to play 2 games. After a 30 something game regular season. That's absolutely asinine. The international did a loser bracket that still housed every team - and it was a best of 1 until later in the tourney - which (16 teams obviously...

    The evo mats - are just for that evolution - up to 5 star evo's require you to max the level - then apply the proper mats to get to the next star. so a 3 star monster - level to cap - use evo - it is now 4*1. Level it to cap - evo - its 5* 1 - once your monsters are 5*. You then can do...

    I'm sure if you made money on the RMAH this might be a change you're sad about - if you see the diablo 3 expansions as time to cash in working 80 hours a week for 500 bucks. But at the core of the game you should be able to group with your buddies - go kill bosses and see at least 1 or 2...
