"Valve's new baby, Defense of the Ancients 2, is currently in beta with a slated release date resting somewhere in TBA 2012. It's a game that exists as the grandfather of MOBA games (Massive Online Battle Arena) in the same way that X-COM is the grandfather of strategy games. It's an ancient game that Valve decided to shake the dust off and re-release it. What makes me curious is that I can't see this game being a marketing success."
From beefy tanks to powerful carries, these are the best Strength heroes in Dota 2's Turbo Mode.
Valve has spoken out forcefully against smurfing in Dota 2 after banning more than 90,000 accounts - and targeting their owners.
Pardon my ignorance for never having played this, but why even have the ability to create multiple guest accounts? It seems if there is only one account per player then it would eliminate this smurfing issue.
Probably to get new players hooked on the addictive gameplay loop, more people playing = statistically more people buying battle passes.
Why would seasoned players want to play with lower skill players anyway? Just to owned them? They’re n00bs, what’s the fun in that?
It’s like on COD where they do bad on purpose for a few rounds, to then be place with with bad players to then dominate.
This is human nature. I know people who do this in Dota2, CoD and other multiplayer games. They enjoy the dopamine rush that winning generates.
Following the Dota 2 update that increased the size of the map by 40%, I asked League of Legends EP Jeremy Lee if we can expect similar things for LoL.
no, you are an idiot for even thinking that. The price wont be too high, and games like it have proven to be a huge success. Many gamers wanted a new version where you cant pay to win.
Dota 2 is amazing. Besides, it's Valve we are talking about here. Dota 2 has been on the top played list on Steam for months. It isn't going away anytime soon.
