That was my issue with HoN as well.

Dota on WC3 engine was VERY easy to read.

Imagine poker where the cards were placed on a table that looked like this:



Ohhh pretty. Except it completely detracts from the game itself and makes it harder to play with no true benefit.

Raise bigger pre. Fold turn.

I have never played real dota so I can't really say anything about the difference, but I never really have problems following anything in hon, except when there are like 5 blinks going on.

Maybe I will like the cleanliness of dota once I see it.

Trailer looks disappointing, but I've read that Dota 2 is basically 1:1 port of DotA, which is great, because I've played that **** on and off since 2004 and will totally own everyone in Dota 2 when it's released.

Beta signup

pretty sick bracket for the tourney. I'm pulling for IG.

In case anyone follows the competitive Chinese dota scene for the Dota 2 tourney DD will play for Tyloo still and CCM still has xiao8 and DDC despite all the team switching recently.

I think the live stream is suppose to start in around 30minutes. The stream currently has some flying embers or something with music.

Anyone have a link to the stream?

EDIT: NVM

lol @ the animations in the select screen, they are laughably bad

Those skins are so ugly. And I don't like the graphics. I need to play this before I make decision skipping hon for that.
