I'm not calling it hack on purpose.So, this camera feature is an actuall feature of DotA map or Warcraft? When I used to play here, there was no such a thing.
Cant say this zoom option is a hack but the fact that draco implemented it into his map is just disgusting. It was never a part of the game and it should never be a part of it.All bugs aside, zoom was one thing that was intentional but its also the biggest mistake draco made. I saw how it changed the way some people played (better ofc).More awareness while being ganked mid,thus reacting faster than usual to heroes appearing,much more flexibility in fights ,choosing their targets a lot better, knowing whether the situation is in their favor or not etc. Remove the zoom and ppl who used it every game will be lost and u could most likely see a big drop-off.

What you said is true (talking about benefits) but do you think this feature gives those benefits to some players but not to all? I say it doesnt because there are still people that dont use it, getting a handicap against those who do. But what stops them not to use it?

When I used to play here, there was no such a thing.When you used to play here there were also less available items and mby even heroes, depending when you quit playing. 2 years ago you were able to kill the fountain with sniper, now you cant: hack? My point is that neither DotA, nor Warcraft 3, were built from first as they are now. Warcraft 3 it gone up to ver 1.29 while DotA is 6.88. Mechanics, game settings, new heroes, etc, got implemented/modified during the years. It was done in order to improve the game by balancing it and adding more content. So, the debate here should be about "is camera feature an improvement?" and not about "is camera feature a hack?". Most of the players are using it, so should be an improvement. Its availability to all players makes it fair to use. I'm starting to think you guys dont know what is a "hack". Call the camera feature "bad", "unbalanced" and make argumentation for that, you may actually be right (with proper arguments) but calling it a "hack" you get your mouth slapped by the obvious.I hope you guys can tell the difference between constructive criticism and insults, and dont get annoyed, as Common usually does when someone doesnt agree with him. Is a debate, not a fight.EDIT: I may be wrong but I recall playing the original Warcraft 3 and modifying the point of view and camera distance from keyboard shortcuts. (no modding)
