Why is it that despite there being far fewer codexers that play DotA than League of Legends, you're unable to keep your shit to one thread like we are? There's literally like 10 different DotA threads if you do a quick search.

There are also more people playing Fallout 3 than Fallout 2. What's you fucking point?
This thread is temporary for this little Codex get-together.
I'm sorry you have little to no competitiveness in your little DotA-for-children knockoff.

raw you wouldn't be able to participate anyway, no-one wants to play with you. not because you suck, but because you're a loud-mouth bitch in-game.

Of course, the classic DotA-tard straw man argument. Let's just disregard the fact that League of Legends has more players, more tournaments, and more prize money than DotA. How is DotA empirically more competitive than League of Legends?

1. LoL is more accessible. Gameplay-wise and logistics-wise. It is F2P. More people playing = bigger interest in spectating and more tournaments, bigger prizepools etc.
2. DotA2 is less accessible. Gameplay-wise and logistics-wise. It is closed beta. You can't got to a website and click "PLAY NAOW 4 FRE!". More finicky mechanisms and shit you need to master. Steeper learning curve.

I hope that answered your question.

I'd love to play but I don't think those times work... I'm in the US East Coast so 1500 GMT is like 10 AM for me, no? (unless I'm retarded at timezones)... I have a job.

I would've gladly shown dear kkkodex how to assemble midas on every freaking hero possible, but unfortunately I don't have the hardware for the game (stuck up with a built-in videocard notebook) at the moment so I'll have to pass.

Isn't the range on manually casted Burning Spears longer than your default auto attack range? That alone makes one point in it useful at all points in the game.

I'd be down to play some games tomorrow. Skill level medium I guess, I'm really new at the game but I only have occasional bouts of Downs syndrome in game.
