    DOTA 2

    That's how I started too but after a while I just started focusing on supports and then on certain supports. The ones I find fun to play. But before that like when I was playing HoN, I was randoming or picking new heroes every game, maybe playing a few games in a row with a certain hero but then...

    Nvm misread that. He's#4 on win ratein pubs so far, so even though some ppl are building whatever, I guess he's still doing fine.

    It's closed beta atm, it ends monday(or is it sunday still, not sure, but this weekend). Phase 4 which is open beta will start in ~2weeks, possibly more and supposedly will last a week and won't be wiped for release, confirmation and details later.

    Yeah carry abaddon had a few but see I wouldn't mind so much because they're doing dmg and shit so the item kinda makes sense, but blink dagger is so awful especially since I'm pretty sure in dota2 dmg you take with your ult on still puts blink on cooldown(it doesn't in dota1) so you can't even...

    You can still solo queue, but the option is in a semi hidden spot now because who knows. Check Locations, it has the Solo Queue box you can tick. I've had a lot of shitty games today too, but mostly I think it's the combination of new patch, release and weekend. I had a fucking blink first...

    Non systematic downtime too, downtime should be used as a punishment for playing bad/innefficiently, not just for playing. Making certain classes reduce downtime is fine even though I feel class identity should be something else than "not having to sit as long if you have one in your group" kind...

    DOTA 2

    I agree that what you see in a pro game isn't necessarily useful material to learn how to play the game, but I don't feel that's necessarily a concern, nor an absolute truth. I started watching pro games early when I started playing and yeah I didn't learn all that much other than seeing item...

    DOTA 2

    It was more like dota=lol when it comes to pros streaming. And matchmaking being fairly shitty, that's just dota. They said they weren't too happy with the matchmaking so hopefully at some point they fix it. It's bad at every level too, newbies getting grouped with very high people, regardless...

    Vanguard, WoW, it's all the same casual shit. Less than 1 min downtime? Not in my fucking mmo. I need to be able to order a pizza and wait for it to get there between pulls otherwise that game isn't worth "playing". The less I play, the better the game is. I like hyperboles too.

    DOTA 2

    They do quite often, they also get matched against people who have high rating but aren't as good as pros. Overall their rating and matching system seems to have too much variance, with the release hopefully they tighten it up since there's were more than enough people nowadays to find games...

    Shroud Of The Avatar - Shit Went Persistent

    Well to be fair, looks like older Ultimas too, it's just the way it was done back then. Don't know if I want to have to drag and drop every fucking thing though. Like when he cut that board into 4 sticks and then had to drag drop all 4 of them I was like ugh I don't wanna do that. Hopefully...

    Well I don't think anyone gives a fuck how fast people who had geared lvl 50s at launch take to clear raid content. Nor do I expect it to take more than 2-3weeks for non legacy players to clear, just because the lvling speed doesn't look slow and there's very little chance raid content is tuned...

    Googling that exact error code returned a solution that worked for 2 people at least, disable antivirus and launch it as admin and should be fixed.

    Most likely not. I just use my PS3 pad to play games but yeah I guess if you don't have a controller at all then some games aren't going to be worth buying.

    It's playable now until monday or so, when phase3 ends. Phase4 will start later and will be open beta. Shaky source(ingame chat) has YoshiP saying P4 will be 1week and that Arcanist will be available to play at that point. Also balancing shit and voice acting. Will need to wait for...

    DOTA 2

    Hmm Merlini, Dendi and Singsing and people like that usually had around 2-5k viewers. I think mostly the difference is the constant tournaments though. I mean if I look at my own habits, I haven't looked at a player's stream in like maybe 3months, and even then it was like watching Dendi or...

    Mine say 75% Darksouls 7.50euros and 85% Bastion 2euros. Kinda tempted to grab Dark Souls to see the DLC content and just replay the game. Since I picked up Scriblenauts and Dota2 is probably patching a new hero this week I guess I'll just wait until it comes back again at the end of the sale or...

    Spirit Breaker as a support sounds kinda meh but could work I guess. Abaddon who's coming tonight is a good support if you wanna dive shit(in HoN he was Accursed), Nyx is nice to find solo kills even when you're playing as a support(if you played HoN, Nyx is the hero Fayde was inspired by, even...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    He mentions the "LoL way" of targetting, which might not be from LoL but iirc I remember it being added there before I knew, where you press the key and as long as you hold it, you see the marker, and it fires on release. Hopefully this is optional(firing on keypress is better) but it lets you...

    He's a pretty decent mid too. His armor is kinda shit but the shield blocks a lot of damage and removes a lot of annoying shit like QoP's dot and he can push the lane really hard using his passive on creeps, kinda like Beastmaster aura plus the shield explosion, then his high base movespeed lets...

    Well it's mostly group content and classes getting better to play as you get more skills, but it's not like a super big change I think.

    DOTA 2

    Iirc in HoN they also made his shield not remove stuns anymore, which is a huge nerf. Your carry gets roared? Np just shield to dispel. Also yeah his ult autoactivation is a big deal especially since unlike hon it also disjoints on activation. One funny interaction is that it self dispels Doom...

    Considering there is no info about this game, this thread has basically been the armchair dev thread like the greenmangaming one was on FoH.

    On the other hand, Fnatic is on a roll recently. They're beating everyone in a lot of very one sided stomps with a really fun to watch super agressive style that reminds me of their hon days. They're not on the level of Alliance and Na'Vi I think, but if they play like that at TI3 I wouldn't be...

    DOTA 2

    Because he's the first hero being released in the past 2 months? Also because he's a support and I like supports. As for his competitive level, he was sometimes picked, rarely. He's basically a cockblock hero when you try to gank a hard carry or whatever. You need very good burst to kill...

    Hopefully P4 client will have the Arcanist spells in the files to be datamined, so we'll know more. But since it's most likely not going to be available it's pretty safe to assume summoners will go THM in the meantime and scholars will go CNJ, if only for the job unlock quest requirement(need...

    The dates stuff was just a statement, no meaning behind it, I guess it looks like I got defensive about a joke but I guess it's more like I got confrontational because of the next statement and figured I'd tackle things in order. Mostly I don't get your innovation statement. There are...

    It's also absolutely unnecessary considering how easy it is to backstab. That's why I'm glad in DS2 they're nerfing backstabs, people should learn how to parry or work hard to backstab depending on their style, in DS1 it's pretty much pointless to parry besides speeding up certain mobs and the...

    Wonder if you'll be able to focus on one of the guys or if you'll have to play all 3 equally, you can see in the trailer how you can switch between them and how missions use all of them but do you have to do that or are they like played by AIs if you don't wanna bother. I'd rather follow one guy...

    Hmm if you take a simple example, Planetside 2, which most likely they'll copy, it has realistic graphics. There's a difference between looking realistic, which most modern shooter do, and having realistic mechanics which seems to be your problem with Arma, not the fact it looks too realistic...

    Well first you can look at the dates and see they were played 2years ago. On your second point, are we talking about the same game? Picks change all the time, new strats are added all the time. 3-4months ago no one played Treant, now he's top pick/ban. Naga Siren as a support in trilanes since...

    I wouldn't mind if they were resetting stats but keeping the hidden rating.

But whatever I guess not a...

    Right I don't think Panda is too hard and I've had his ult a couple of times on Rubick I know it's not too hard, however I also know his skills perfectly and I never play mid so there's very little point for me to pick him really. I don't think any hero is too hard other than Meepo which is way...
