Lagabuse channel topic updated with this thread.
I was confused with this, and it was not only once, but it happens from time to time to /w wrong bot. If it was changed to la-custom or custom-la everyone would understand why is like that. But like this you must to read on forum to understand, even if you don't understand..

In dota 2 using scripts to zoom out results in getting banned for life. I do understand that this option can be used by everyone so therefore nobody is having an advantage over the others. There are certain heroes where zooming out gives you an advantage like Tinker (not surprised Begin voted for zooming out option xd) and probably better map awarness because you see a bigger part of the map at once.
Anyway, I don't think zooming out will make someone a better player. Zooming out has its own disadvantaged like creeps getting smaller as you zoom out therefore they are harder to click.
People will complain no matter which decision you make. People like Common will still come here once a year to write a 10k word article about how he thinks the zoom out sucks.

@efko.aqw Why is my name in the Enabled list?

I'd vote against having cam hack but I do not play W3 DotA anymore, thus I will not vote.

Whatever gets voted here will be the final decision.

I found this vote pointless.. I remember not so long ago we use to vote for switching on 6.85 or staying on 6.83 and even if more people voted to stay on 6.83 ( including me) u switch to 6.85... However I will not vote but like how some ppl wich don't even play here anymore use to complain and talk shits.

My option is Iccup map. Cheers!

Sometimes going against the majority decision turns out correct, as it was in that case. 6.85 is much less broken than 6.83

Guys please vote on efko's post as well so we can see how votes were given, and we won't have people crying that someone created 100 accs just to anonymously vote.

I deleted my previous post, so efko post is more visible now.

And please stick on topic, don't discuss things which happened ages ago. Any unrelated future posts will be deleted without notice.

In dota 2 the camera distance is defaultly way higher so there's no need to zoom out, jondork.

And yes, my tinker is awesome.

Just while i am here. First googled result

This should be tested, if it fixes the widescreen like its supposed to, there should be no excuses about using -camhack (Everyone should have same distance because its fair.)
