Responding to a question posed on Twitter, Valve said it’s testing “some social things” and “complete new matchmaking system” for its upcoming sequel to DotA, the former Warcraft 3 custom map.
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.
come on and release this already so we can get down to episode 3 business.
I'm actually really excited for DotA 2 now that I've gotten into League of Legends. I wasn't really a strategy-based player until I took the leap forward and actually researched about how to do well in LoL, and now I'm having the most fun I have had in gaming recently. It's much more rewarding than any shooter, because you know you're outsmarting the enemy rather than having better reflexes than them. My only concern is that it will split the player base of LoL, something I hate to see happen to any game I play.
dota pwns half life
dota2 will continue this tradition, half life is a great 12-20 hour ride, after that, over
dota 100's of hours, mad competition, mad strategy,
half life 2 awesome story, mediocre gunplay
dota, intense, edge of your seat sport like enviroment
i admit dota is not for everyone, just like starcraft 2, most people cannot hang with games that regquire actual skill, they wann play COD4, 5, 6, 7 , 8, 9
and rank up for getting one kill and dying 3 times
fps should take away XP every time you die!
