Most people agree the best way to learn the game is to play every hero at least once. Generally just going in order from A-Z.

It is far easier to just turn on your TV and go to a pre-defined channel than it is to get it on your computer. Last I heard SC2 is only shown once a week in Korea and I think LoL is every night. Not like SC2 was ever popular in Korea.

Honestly I think OGN would have found a sustainable spot catering to the niche BW market. I would have ridden that wave until it completely died out than try and hop on SC2 late.

Fomos is usually pretty legit and it looks like STX has responded directly as well. Sounds like this is round2 of Korean esport unions being butthurt over rich foreign teams poaching. Sounds like TSL drama redux.

Guess I was mistaken looks like Innovation to Acer

Scarlett sent a cryptic tweet saying her ZvT will improve. I didn't hear anywhere official that it will be Terran. I guess it could happen that KeSPA can't match what Acer is throwing out but I feel like sniping someone from a KeSPA team like STX would be very difficult.

If Atkins was on a higher profile team everyone who even casually watches football would know his name. To say he didn't light up games and win defensive possessions basically by himself just reeks of someone who saw stat headlines and said "Yeah that guy is good I guess." Atkins was in the...

I think your hero/chicken get hotkeyed automatically. At least it has always been f1 = hero; f2 = chicken for me. I think many of the things Zap listed are good habits but I don't think they're what separates the vhigh from normal brackets. That is more fundamental flaws in overall gameplay.

I'd be shocked if it was Innovation. I'm betting it's just Welmu.

I've also had issues translating my SC experience over to DOTA2. For reasons you described even if I make all these great decisions on my team I'm only one person. I can see a fight isn't at a good location and back my team but that doesn't mean they won't initiate anyways. I can see a great...

You can only transition to air in TvT if you stop trading for a bit. Taeja simply never stopped trading.

On the radio today Bobby Carpenter said he was on two teams that played the Pats as their third pre-season game and he said both teams treated the game like they were playing in the super bowl

You didn't mind leveling in Diablo2 because you just get a rush to the end and sit around leeching XP and get to level 70 in a few hours. Also all cutscenes/dialog are fully skippable in Diablo 3. This is the same trite argument that has been made for the past year that I still don't understand.

Um I have a high level Deadpool and Marvel Heroes is not nearly as good as Diablo 3 unless they made dramatic, dramatic changes

Yeah I think what he brings to the table is right at level 6 your opponent has a really hard time taking "even" team fights. Because Troll will simply pop the ulti and all of a sudden the other team is right clicking you down. I think it will be interesting.

I wonder if Troll will be used on the pro scene. I could see him being ran as a 2-4 simply because his ultimate is so strong. I don't think he scales well enough to be a 1, though. -edit- Actually would he be a decent counter-pick to a carry Naix?

If you make it some Area A spawns mobs that are good for build X and Area B spawns mobs that are good for build Y then people will just compare "Which area is better to farm faster." If you try and make it so the they aren't seperate zones but melded into one area then you've got the Immunity...

Your premise only works if there isn't a "best way" to play the game. In the real world of games there is almost aways, regardless of balance, going to be a "best way" to get things done. Brood Wars, the undisputed best balanced RTS in the history of RTS, has best ways to play. In TvP you...

Its a guild for RR. Ask pretty much any RR person on Steam that plays DOTA2 they're probably in it and can shoot you an invite.

If you guys see me online on steam but not in DOTA2 and are stacking send me a chat. I like playing the game but despise getting yelled at online. I usually play the 2, Clinkz, mid or feed.

I am also going to +1 in the camp in favor of account binding. I think for uniques if you equip it then it should bind to your account. Right now there is oustanding inflation because perfect/near-perfect items keep going into the system without ever leaving the system. So eventually the only...

If you don't watch the SGDQ and AGDQ marathons you really should give it a shot. Especially if you're around my age and you remember as a kid getting fucked in the ass by Ninja Gaiden and you see these dudes perfectly timing all the sprites. It is absolutely nuts and insanely fun to watch.

Immunity was just plain stupid and it could lead to you simply not being able to kill a mob. Oh you specced Meteorb? Hope you don't get Fire+Ice immune! Oh you're a Barbarian? Hope you don't get Physical+Magic immune! It didn't add anything to the game expect for making the "best spec"...

IMHO the immunity system was the worst part about Diablo 2 Basically all I want out of this expansion is: * Similar to nuking out itemization from Vanilla WoW to TBC make it so the higher level items are so much stupidly better you are forced to re-itemize each slot regardless of if you...

Blair Witch?

The fall of Blizzard is highly exaggerated. Sure there were some fundamental problems with design in D3 vanilla but dude got fired for it. However the engine that runs Diablo 3 still is the most fluid, the most responsive and the most satsifying of any ARPG on the market. Starcraft2's single...

Depending on what they do I'll be there day1 with cash in hand. Diablo3 still has the best ARPG engine out there and if they fix some basic stuff like itemization and bland end-game the game could consume me.

I bought it off GMG like a year after release. That is why everything except for Psycho is Retail. I guess there is an off-chance Steam's season pass works differently but I doubt it.

Here is a steam ss of my DLC. Everything except for the psycho pack comes off the Season Pass.

Yeah but the reason BF3 isn't on steam is literally because EA wants to push Origin. It may not be terrible but it isn't as good as having BF3 along side all my other games.

Thanks to whoever recommended Van Helsing. Pretty fun little ARPG.

How is JD's PvZ? It is pretty poor, yes?

Then you kill the Cain slayer as a midboss of act2. Quite uneventful.

I think shields in general are under rated in pubs. Vanguard really lets you stay in lane as a melee carry. It isn't fashionable at the pro level but I still think it is a solid item. I won't disagree with gmstbfla that it is probably better to just get PMS and skip Vanguard on AM

Saw a promo for the show and thought to myself "I would probably watch this is they paid me like $100."

How I generally see this work is you lay some PDD near a skirmish area with your Ravens to protect the BC from Tempest fire. You then move in your BCs and instantly find something to Yomato (most likely a void ray) and cast that. Accept the fact you will get feedback cast on your BC and lose...

If you thought the game was hard back in WoL beta then prepare your anus because a top Diamond from WoL beta would be like Silver at the moment

I think they're trying to make mech TvP more of a "stall with tanks, rebuild with air" style thing. Honestly air TvP isn't that bad since Ravens shit on Tempest so badly and Vikings outrange VRs and Stalkers end up doing fairly minor damage to BCs. The issue is getting this late game army is...

Lol these balance changes are funny. "Mech sucks, we're buffing it." "Vipers start with full energy" -_-

Who the hell seriously thought Maru would win WCS KR S2. That is awesome. Great stuff for Prime and Maru has been a long standing boy of mine.
