I've had it for a while now, but I'm trying to squeeze out every last bit of Wc3 DotA until the platform becomes a ghost town.

It's fun and all, but still not quite the same as classic DotA.

[adventureclub]

yeah its dying slowly

[IMMI]

add me linbintao

[adventureclub]

Wow either my setting or graphics card is shitty or dota2 sucks lol

[YaR.Goat]

It's probably your settings or graphics card. I distinctly remember firing the game up for the first time and thinking it looked like trash -- until I realized the settings were all on low.

Have you tried playing it yet? What do you think?

Just a forewarning: The matchmaking system is terrible. Be prepared to steamroll a few games, only to be placed on a team of braindead noobs against a stack of five friends. The constant complaint by most players is that the games are almost always one-sided. Truthfully that's one of the (several) reasons I continue to play Wc3 DotA.

Uh idk if I would call it awful, but -shrugs-. Yeah im starting to play dota2 since meepo will be released shortly, hit me up.

[YaR.Goat]

Rumor has it he won't be released until the International 2 has concluded.

EDIT: Oh, the tournament starts in a few weeks. Didn't realize it was so close.

[JackSwift]

I knew both of the above haha, but I'm definitely paying the 5 dollars to watch TI2, so worth it imo.

Sadly I got steamrolled because my screen was so blurry it was hard to read chat. Then i couldnt figure out how to buy items or what recipes made what. Then they changed the keys on invoker spells to a set d or f lol. (lame Imo) And after the first game I was like... F THIS im going back to dota1 lol

[JackSwift]

My first game was just as bad, if not worse; I picked Storm Spirit and finished the game several levels behind everyone else because the map/graphics/shop were all so disorienting that I didn't even know what was really going on, during which time this angry Windrunner -- who happened to be my laning partner and especially trigger happy with the Power Shots on all the creeps -- was shouting expletives at me in broken English. "WTF STRM SPIIRT NOB FCKING NOB"
