Dota 2

[Archz]

Sweet, let's play some tonight? The pace is a bit slower, more like LoL, which is cool.

I'm having a hard time getting used to the range though, after playing LoL too much xD Always when I've been playing vs Pudge and get hooked I'm like "WTF Where did that come from?!"

[Gozhell]

AARGH! I want dota2! Been playing only Hon recently (fuck these pubs). Requesting dota2 key

Pubs can be horrible in Dota 2 as well. Just because the game changes doesn't mean that the players change. I've had the luck to end up with decent players and met decent players, but then there are those who rage afk and won't shut up if things doesn't go his/her way.

I was a bit skeptic at the graphics when I compared them on the stream vs HoN but now I really like it. Heroes and the surroundings blend nicely together. I still find some spell animations to be too fast though, I knew I had to closely look for Lich ulti not to miss it lol.

What confuses me is the resolution :)

You see, I'm for example used to tidehunter's ulti covering most of the screen, so now that it doesn't at bigger field of view (which I assume is because of the resolution), I overestimate it's range.

Anyway, it still feels a lot better than lol, I guess I really hated not being able to deny, and of course it helps not being forced to learn like 2 million new heroes.

I have to agree with the spell animation thing, I kinda find it hard to notice some spells going around, wish there was a way to increase spell effects or something.

1 thing that i noticed is that u hear the sound of ultis before u see them.
ive taught my self to spread out fast the momment i hear that lich ulti go, it bounces soo fast that ur usualy fuckd if ur clumped up in any case.

but the sound thing works for quiet a few spells like the puck orb.


you can hear them before u see them

[Gozhell]

Yea I should probably try playing a game with sound for once.... I had sound enabled in WoW for a short period but not for very long. I have had Dota2 sound enabled so far though, but still got my own music in the background so I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a Lich ulti and a last hit. :)

the individual lines when ur hero denies are quiet funny

[Palmar]

yeah, lot of cute little lines in dota2, definitely worth checking out.

Also lots of lines when you buy certain items, or even lines between certain heroes. It's really awesome.

Ah, Invoker how I've missed you!

[Sparrowhawk]

Played for a week now. People suck at this game so much.. Maybe I go back to hon

[Gozhell]

People suck wherever you go :p Not everyone can be as skilled as yourself unfortunately. No matter where you go people will most likely be "bad". The best solution to this is to play with friends, preferably a full team or there's always a chance for you to get that one person who simply doesn't understand english or just happens to be a ragekid.

So far I've had a better experience with Dota2 than with HoN when it comes to the players, but I could just have been lucky in my 90 games. It's not until lately that I've ended up with players who are impossible to communicate with.

so i was playing against some bots to get the feel of bounty hunter you know for attack animations and stuff.... well this is what happened

edit: to be honest the bots were either completely shit or the AI broke or something cause throughout the whole game they only attacked me during the laning phase and thats it after that all they did was spells and nothing more no auto attacks or anything

Nice! There will be an option to set the difficulty of the bots in the future, but I think it will always be quite difficult to get good AI in this kind of game.
