DotA Discussion / Dota1 VS Dota2

« on: January 30, 2013, 00:26 »

IMHO d1>d2
Here's why

Pro's in dota1
- Less effects in dota1 makes it look more cleaner and not confusing
- No awkward gameplay from unnoticeable animations and background textures
- Too many noobs in Dota2
- Retro graphics makes the game seem more "Pro-like" and less childlike. (for some its a con)
- More content (i know d2 will have all the heroes in the near future so it doesn't really matter)

Dota2 Pros:
- Dota2 is newer, therefore more support and development
- Dota2 is free and easy to set up thanks to valve's steam
- Cool graphics and sound FX
- Lots of competitive games and live streams
- Bigger playerbase and more active forums and discussion boards

Feedback / [Suggestion] Gagging flamers

« on: November 22, 2012, 11:49 »

Hey LA staff.

Many times when i am bored i go check the ban request section in the forum, and what i have noticed is that there are many requests against flamers, so why not implement a simple yet effective method against flamers like gagging them in game? On top of that you can also implement the 3-strike out method which as the name implies, you autoban a player that has flamed 3 times in a single game. Sure people will still flame, but i think that this idea will dramatically lower the number of flamers, and generally improve the gaming experience. The punishments should look like this:


- First time flame: gag for 1 minute

- Second time flame: 5-10 minutes

- Third time: autoban (same time as he would leave a game)



Also while gagged, you can whitelist some of the commong phrases like: ss, b, top, bot, mid, cd, oom, bb etc.

Strategy / Tinker nuker build

« on: September 21, 2012, 01:17 »

Lets keep the strategy section alive...

So watch my pub tinker with nuker build (BoT dagon 5 dagger etheral) and have your thoughts about it (the strategy/build not my gameplay). IMO its the best tinker for pubs, and u can instagib any hero with <1600 hp (no additional magic resistance).

Strategy / NVRMR

« on: August 11, 2012, 20:28 »

I am a somewhat decent nevermore player (in pubs lol) and usually when i play alone i get: stats + regen>bottle>boots>PMS/Aquila>threads>dagger>bkb/manta/etheral (last items not in order)
But when i play with my mates as a team i go:
stats +regen > bottle>boots>BoT>bkb>Manta/HoT

But when i do the second build i usually skip presence of the dark lord entirely. So i am asking is skipping the aura viable?

Strategy / Epic fun pubstomping slark

« on: June 01, 2012, 02:54 »

A casual pub game with slark. An unique and fun, but efficient build that can get you fun pub games. I wonder why i haven't seen any guides/replays like this, i mean the lothar + pounce + dark pact combo can kill any paper hero. Plus the synergy between your ultimate's passive and lothar is just awesome, you never return to base with mana boots too. Orchid was just.. meh item and radiance as a final touch to my aoe/burst damage. What do you think?
