Even at $5 it isn't worth it. The game is literally never fun in any phase.

They may have just bumped up the gold given to allow people to craft a ton of shit easier in beta

You're still thinking inside the MOBA box which this entire thread is as well. In HOTS you don't really "lose a lane" in the MOBA sense. Every hero has the ability to push back creep waves fairly effectively. Since the game is all about team work individual accolades aren't necessarily...

Which is why he wanted the game to simmer for 3 months or so. One of the major downsides is there is only about 600-1k people on at any given time. The player base isn't really large enough or good enough to grind out a ton of games to figure out how to play the game properly. To expand on...

Your friends who don't code on a daily basis may do it out of choice. Just because you're in comp sci doesn't mean you're a competent coder or enjoy it. There are tons of people in the industry who do non-coding stuff because of all the perks of a developer but not actually having to develop...

Same boat. Was having fun and may log in here and there and do a run but won't grind. Not to mention it is somewhat boring knowing whatever drops I get now will be obsolete in a few weeks.

I have pretty much the same impressions as Oloh. Right now most of my games are going 2-1-2 in a pretty standard pub-eque MOBA setup. But since you really only need 1 person per lane it seems to make the most sense to me to have one on top, one on bot and three in mid. The mid group would...

I don't know if I agree with the latter. Maybe if people are playing super, super passive but since many characters off the bat get SOME for of spacial manipulation on a target you can get some work done. Like on Raynor I like to set up shop in the middle originally but then if I see the top...

All I can say for a certainty is even when I was super casual and just learning DOTA2 I haven't had as much fun as I have had in HOTS so far. The game is twitchy and without the burden of gold I don't have to constantly monitor my gold count and know exactly what I'm going for next. The "what...

Holy fuck they're forcing you to keep around a ton of white items just for crafting? Shit is moving backwards my stash is already pretty hard up for space. I felt the common debris was a pretty good middle ground.

Jeez you could make like 500-700k just doing Cursed Hold runs. Only takes like 15 minutes. I generally just TP to Leoric's, backtrack for xp, grab the shrine w/ nemesis bracers, go to Highland Crossing to get shrine, go to festering, hit any shrines w/ nemesis and clear the two dungeons there...

Sjow switching to Hearthstone as a "pro" lol. Tried to play a hard game on hard, then tried to play a hard game on easy then decided to just play an easy game.

Oh is he one of those people who goes on and on about how great hard games are but is really, really bad at hard games? Reminds me when SC2 game out and the iccup D+ players were claiming how easy SC2 is while sitting at middle platinum.

I also had my first rager today. You'd think in a super casual game in alpha where everything and all progress will be wiped soon you wouldn't take it so seriously. Uther decided to park his ass at fountain though once we lost a keep somewhat early.

I don't believe so. At least not in DOTA2 and if you say not in LoL I'm guessing it's a fresh concept.

Man Abatur is fun as hell to play

I feel people are discounting how much talents effect this game. There aren't really "pushing lineups" but you can spec yourself to push far better. Case in point Raynor. I'm using him simply because I know him the best. At level 1 you can choose to either scale your attack damage every...

sOs only shows up for giant tournaments

Going 2 Port w/ Reactor prior to going up to 5 raxes if you scout giant Phoenix count is always the reasonable answer. The best way of dealing with the army composition is to turret your mineral lines and push out with enough vikings to two-shot Colossus. During the engagement you ignore the...

By not letting the Phoenix widdle away at your Viking count the entire time? Scouting it prior to 6 carriers? Target fire SOMETHING at sOs's third stead of just injuring everything and killing nothing. I also feel WM would be a pretty solid answer. Put them behind your army and retreat...

I'm about 99% certain Sid gives sOs builds

If your team clears the skeleton dungeon and the enemy doesn't that is basically the definition of a snowball because they aren't killing your 100 skull golumn.

sOs on Alterziem. What am I watching?

Haha fucking Rogue

Levels matter in hots and since the xp pool is shared if your entire team is competent and the other team terrible you will eventually walk over them. However this puts less individual stress on each player. If you have one terrible person feeding a carry you're bound to lose the game barring...

Ok so after playing a few more games I don't know if this is the next great e-sport (same like Hearthstone) but I can certainly see how well executed team work could absolutely roll over a team of players who don't execute nearly as well. The objectives combined with the from-the-gates team...

Guess we have to wait until tomorrow for Rogue to beat Life. Long live Kespa.

I've only played one game fully 4 bots + me vs AI and 5 humans vs AI but this game isfun. It basically strips away anything from a standard MOBA you don't find interesting and focuses on just you killing shit and doing team fights and objectives. I see this game having some serious legs.

It is more like WoW battle arena where everyone has the same gear and start at level 1 than a MOBA

I'm not sure if Life vs Rogue is even a sure thing for Life let alone a 3-0.

Didn't SC2 not have key re-mapping until the latter part of the WoL beta or some shit? For some reason I thought they added it later.

He's already taken to twitter saying that was his last game he'll play. Good riddance.

Naniwa decided that Polt scouting his base(s) meant that he was obviously hearing the crowd. It looked at first like Polt was going to 14 cc low ground but his SCV spotted the gates and walled his ramp. Nani went fell bitch mode and retired. I'm just glad I always hated him since he's an...

When you start the game do they have a bunch of free heroes and them premium unlocks? Can I get Raynor out of the gate? Awesome siege tank dude?

Both JP and TB are terrible at video games. So unless you're playing against them and losing should you be concerned.

The best part of the article was the graphic where the twitch plays is in GM and everyone is just spamming "1 a"

I didn't get a code just an unlock on my account

I just got alpha access to the game. Can't play tonight but I'll fire it up tomorrow.

I've always hated watching PvZ but this is a new low (JD vs Hasu g3)

One of the best in the game
