Im hype.not many dota heads on this site for some reason though... regardless I cannot wait
Damn I am so jealous, and yeah DK, C9 and Alliance are my favorites. But Navi always somehow finds a way to get to the finals.
Its a great game, and totally and completely free (all 100+ characters are available for you)- no paid advantage (unless you want some costumes for characters and even then you can get them for free in the game)
Capcom or NRS couldn't go about this the same was as valve even if they wanted to. The fact is the userbase in fighting games is minuscule compared to MOBAS. If next injustice tournament had 1mil prize pool you still wouldn't break 30k on twitch for it. You need raw viewer/user numbers to support large prize pools. The two have to stay within ratio.
bro.... you need a jungler?
Hah, I also played a lot of Dota back when I was in college, sa had a perma invis and a deathward (similar to dota2 witch doctor ult) was like version 5.87b or something. If you guys ever want to throw down let me know I've played a lot of dota 2, my tym and steamID are the same.
The meta in Dota is a lot different than LoL. There are junglers on occasion in specific line ups but they are not mandatory and usually they come at the cost of one of your lanes being weaker so you have to make sure you plan your entire team around them to compensate. Suffice to say in pro play there is no jungler position, roles are typically defined by farm priority 1 being the hard carry 5 being the hard support. A jungler would usually be the the 3 or 4 spot. Honestly I think the complexity and diversity that you can have strategically in DotA is what makes it so much more appealing to follow, that said it also makes it harder for people to understand who don't follow it.
I meant that as in I literally only play Nature's prophet and Dryad in Dota. I know the game =P.
1 hero? Your missing out dude.
I played a bunch of champions. I used to play alot of doom and anti mage back when Guinsoo was running Dota. I really liked Omniknight and Dragon Knight but I really didn't enjoy laning that much.
I've been playing alot of league alot name tendencies are a really bad habit of mine =X. I'm moderately versed in the game though. Bad, but I know what's what.
So is your tag deathblooms2k4 or pboydiii in the link? I'm confused, lol.
deathblooms2k4 is my steamid. pboydiii is just my profile name. I'll agree random pubs can be grueling especially in the lower skill brackets which you inevitably have to go through if you are just starting to play the game.What are your guys tags? I'm down to play with any players who are competent. I literally can't stand playing with random pubs on my team in Dota. It's the most frustrating thing ever, IMO.

Haha, yeah. I remember so many of the old things in Dota and how ridiculously broken they used to be like stuns lasting 5-10 seconds and such. I didn't get competitive with DotA until playdota.com came out. As a matter of fact, here's my very first DotA guide I ever made: http://www.playdota.com/guides/simple-short-advanced-guide I also looked at the rankings for DotA 2, and that dude ^^DragonFist^^ who is ranked top three in both singles and teams used to be one of many players I would play with regularly with in the Garena days. I kinda miss the playdota.com days.
