[QUOTE=Da_Maniac_;37823654]Looking around on the warcraft 3 wiki?[/QUOTE] No, saw it in my google search for 6.75. Probably not real, but you never know, right? Anyways, these models would be the same as WC3 ones because that's what All-stars is restricted to.

frost wyrm pls

We did two Roulette games and won both. 2nd game we got Sniper, Silencer, Ogre Magi, Naga Siren and Axe. I hope we do this more cuz this was a lot of fun actually.

inb4 five hard carries.

[QUOTE=Da_Maniac_;37821854]I've only played like 2 games of LoL anyway. Ignore that, I was being an idiot. :v:[/QUOTE] Its okay, when I was new to this genre I played quite many games with locked camera, like 200-500 of them. Was a bit weird to getting used to unlocked camera.

[QUOTE=Da_Maniac_;37824543]inb4 five hard carries.[/QUOTE] Winnable by turtling and proper teamfight detterance, like killing enemie's main teamfight star, or stalling tower defenses by split pushing asap. 5 carries means hard early and possibly twisting some builds around so that they can fit in team-supportive items. + carries often have farm mechanisms, i.e. they can easily spare 200 to ward every now and then. Dota isn't set in stone, anything is vailiable with proper engineering behind it, even 5 man random!

[QUOTE=Neobdragon;37824680]Isn't Frost Wyrm Jakiro? Or what model did he use in dota allstars?[/QUOTE] Night Elves twin headed acid-spewing dragon thingy. Was it Hydra ?

[QUOTE=Tokagero;37824679]Dota isn't set in stone, anything is vailiable with proper engineering behind it, even 5 man random![/QUOTE] Indeed it is. The extra 200 gold per person is also quite an early game boost.

[QUOTE=Tokagero;37824689]Night Elves twin headed acid-spewing dragon thingy. Was it Hydra ?[/QUOTE]Nah, that would be Chimaera.

[QUOTE=Chickens!;37819498]The entire point of LoL is to be simple. Although no matter how neutral I try to be I can't think of a reason for the Rune Pages and Spell Masteries.[/QUOTE] LoL has a really annoying and boring "Meta". The team has always 1 Top ("Bruiser") 1 Mid ("Ability Power Carry") 2 Bot ("Support and the ranged AD Carry") 1 Jungle ("Jungler") If you play different your team rages at you and you will probably lose, because Riot nerfs everything thats against this Meta. (A lazy way to balance a game...) One other dumb thing is that runes, masteries and summoner spells may give you an advantage versus your lane enemy depending on luck, because you pick them before you even see the enemy picks.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;37817590]i can't play with jigglebilly and his friends.[/QUOTE] Did he move to Dota? I haven't heard anything about him in forever.

[QUOTE=Jojje;37824724]Indeed it is. The extra 200 gold per person is also quite an early game boost.[/QUOTE] Bloodseeker mid starting with Poor Man's Shield and Hatchet. Can't be stopped. [editline]27th September 2012[/editline] To be fair sometimes they do do suicide like lanes where they have 2v1 top respectively for bot to stop them from farming. Different types of junglers of passive and invasive. Anyways masteries and rune pages are bullshit. Either you are play one specific role or you cash out to buy more rune and mastery pages. Main champ banned? Down to 2/3 options from leftover free rune pages. Trying to play ranked is a nightmare as people will call out what position they want be adamant about it as they only have the runes/masteries to play that spot. So often you'll be missing something vital for the team or someone will have to take the spot and be gimped without having the proper set up. Instant disadvantage. Pay to get even ground or grind your heart out.

[QUOTE=titopei;37824951]Is that just the most effective way to play the game?[/QUOTE] At least everyone thinks that it is so if you don't want to play by these rules you [I]will[/I] get reported 6 times and flamed to all hell. Also, you can play the heroes in [B]only one[/B] way. Lets look at someone like Tristana, one of Riot's older carry champions which means when she was created her abilities had AP ratios. If she was created today, she would have AP ratios on only 1 skill, but now she has them on 3 skills (and one ability has 2 ratios for 2 effects). You basically are a long range nuker (long range for LoL) with a good leap that refreshes if you get kill/assist. Still, when I played her a few times in solomid, going AP (I did good) I was repeatedly flamed and reported for not playing her as Attack Damage like "I was supposed to". In DotA we don't have Ability Power so we don't have scaling abilities unless its something like Storm Spirit or Outworld Destroyer (scale with mana), which also means I can't play Tidehunter as a nuker mage or something. In LoL I could do so and if I want to I sure as hell should be able to do so without being cast into hell. [B] EDIT: [/B]Those who don't know Tristana, she is a carry with 1 ability that boosts her attack speed, passive which boosts her attack range, and 3 abilities that are fit for a mage. Leap has a great AP ratio, 1 ability deals high DoT and AoE dmg on kills, and ult is a ranged single-target nuke that knockbacks multiple enemies. You basically could jump in to a wave of minions and if the enemy champ was there they would lose half of their max HP because the leap killed all of the minions which all dealt the AoE dmg for kills, and then my leap ability also dealt high dmg. Now I could just ult and apply the DoT for a pretty much guaranteed kill vs another squishy mid mages. To me she seems like a better mage than a AD carry (or did before the nerf to her Ap burst).

If you don't use what is currently popular with the "PROS" is credit enough for spamming the chat with GG THROW GAME REPORT AFTER GAME G G G G. Literally every single champ at some point of the games history has risen from being shit and getting shit from everyone on how bad they are to popularity and become the most hidden op thing in the game that everyone needs to play . You would get so much shit for playing them before some "PRO LoL Player [what a joke]" made it work at some event. [editline]27th September 2012[/editline] Ok i'm done ranting now I'm just bitching about the game.

I heard a complaint about Dota 2, "There are no Caster Carries in Dota 2" I don't know how to respond to this.

[QUOTE=IrishBandit;37825350]I heard a complaint about Dota 2, "There are no Caster Carries in Dota 2" I don't know how to respond to this.[/QUOTE] Invoker? Storm Spirit? Tinker? Queen of Pain? Hell even Ogre Magi if the gods of Fortune are on your side. I mean none of them are hard carries but they can all carry.

[QUOTE=laharlsblade;37825408]Invoker? Storm Spirit? Tinker? Queen of Pain? Hell even Ogre Magi if the gods of Fortune are on your side. I mean none of them are hard carries but they can all carry.[/QUOTE] He says all carries just right click their way to victory, including those.

[QUOTE=IrishBandit;37825571]He says all carries just right click their way to victory, including those.[/QUOTE] but only invoker does that, at times :v:

Closest things/items that makes HoN/DotA scale like LoL in magic damage is Spellshards/Veil of Discord

[QUOTE=Naught;37825591]but only invoker does that, at times :v:[/QUOTE] ?? lol no

discovered the joy of manta style tiny with phase boots, who needs a tp? Now to play that in pub

Does anyone know the launch option/console command to get rid of the moving flame background? For some reason it lags my computer more and more each game I finish until I'm forced to restart.

What the christ happened, I started getting matched with competent players and now I'm getting matched with people that are completely bad. Contributes to my whole 5 game losing 1 game winning thing.

Micro'd all 4 of my disconnected teammates and won the game against 5 connected enemies finishing the game off with a total of 6 rapiers. Best feeling in the world.
