What... I.. How?
Hell, the second pictures from a bad stream, even.
Issue with trying to be "better than LoL" is that this game is trying to be Dota, which despite being the same genre, is very different and arguably a lot more difficult and slow.[/QUOTE]

I haven't been following Dota 2 all too much, and my impression, based on his video, was that the graphics were seriously unimpressive.
And I'm saying that Dota 2 needs to be better than LoL, regardless of differences. Because they are in similar genres they will be compared side-by-side as if the same game. The general audience (not the hardcore Dota fans) will decide which game they like based on quality of the game and not so critically on how close to Dota the gameplay is.
Valve needs to impress to be able to reach a large percentage of the market. Simply making a good sequel to Dota won't cut it. Players that don't play Dota won't necessarily start playing, and players playing LoL won't see a reason to switch.
don't judge the game from the video's shitty quality ok?
here take a closer look on the games scenery. P.S the quality is a bit ruined here

[QUOTE=Edthefirst;33558937]Right, but the graphics are stylized. With Dota 2, at least in your videos, it just looks bland and dated. I like the colorful cartoon look of LoL because it doesn't have to be ultra-high detail to look good. Again, this just looks like medium quality on the source engine.
I do like the art-direction in this better though. I'm actually willing to try this, but I'm just not seeing the appeal if another game does the same thing just as well. This game needs to be better than LoL, not just as good.[/QUOTE]
He's also showing his videos on all low graphics. The game looks like a vibrant pixar movie on all max.

i personally find league to be very unappealing to me these days. i played league of legends for a good two years and it was fun, but then the nerfs that were supposed to come never came, and they started releasing champions that were rehashed versions of other champions. abilities started getting recycled, and it just ended up being boring since every team would have a set list of overpowered champions and lane compositions that meant that one team was almost nearly assured victory just by champion selection, let alone player skill.
dota2, i find, is a lot more balanced than league of legends at the moment, though it plays at a much different pace. there are still some overpowered champions that will hopefully receive a nerf, but overall it is turning out to be a lot more fun than league of legends.
the only similar thing about those two games is that they're both MOBA-style and they have some similar heroes.

wanna see something better? more pro?
No please,Dont post anymore
thatll be all
I understand the fact that this may or may not be an "epic kill" or some shit like that, but it's really not that interesting to watch. Half of the video isn't even you doing anything, it's just you running around.
This is the equivalent of a "shooter montage kill video" for Modern Warfare.
