You could easily expand to a nice block full of layed out stats, abilities, backstory, etc, on each of them. I'd prefer that over the card fanciness.
They also added tits. [img]http://puu.sh/wqHp[/img] :q:
I like the new hero picker. There's the card layout for just a little bit more information, and an added search function. AND, if you're one of those bitches that's flipping shit (seriously, some people are fucking weird, throwing an internet tantrum over this shit) there's a nice grid option. While in the grid option, you can sort through roles and still search by name. An overall improvement.
Some of the hero portraits look bad, and some better. I couldn't figure out where the grid view button was at first.

I got beta access a month ago, have not installed due to my hype for it being dead.

[QUOTE=nomad1;36075029]I got beta access a month ago, have not installed due to my hype for it being dead.[/QUOTE] That's a shame, Dota 2 is great and has been the only game that I've been playing for serious spans of time.
[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;36073468]Meh it reminds too much of LoL for some reason, It's also completely impractical , good thing they didn't just replace it, but rather made it optional[/QUOTE] Thats because LoL uses this system for picking your skin after you've selected your character from a grid view. Though its more compact and doesn't span the whole screen.
I played more games in DotA 2 the past month than I ever did League of Legends. Solo queuing can be daunting in DotA because it feels so much harder, but goddamn do I feel like my teammates are humans instead of monkeys. Even if they are elitist pricks and feeders sometimes.
Played with friends for ages and brought myself from High matchmaking to Low Try telling me the people in these games aren't monkeys, holy shit I cannot comprehend what sort of stuff they do.
This is all being done to make it more accessible to new players which is going to be a big part of dota 2. They left the grid in so its fine by me.
I think the card system is good to teaching, in game death cards to show who killed you and their abilities as they were and outside in the learn tab, for hero picking I much prefer the grid showing what hero does what when you click them or mouse over them. They could keep that sort by difficulty option though, maybe even have the card display when you click on the icon (displayed to the right, not a different screen because that's silly)
