Couldn't you just, not give people any cash if they ask for it?

Master Chief you are wrong..... AMD may be slowly creeping up on intel for CPUs and GPUs but his video card is not going to be the source of a bottleneck..

Short answer: Diversity.
 
Long answer: Diversity. In League, there are maybe, what, a dozen items with actives? I can name double that off the top of my head for Dota, and the effects of the items are much more varied. Black King Bar is an item you can get to grant you magic immunity for a short time, but it isn't OP because there are certain ultimates that go through it. Scythe of Vyse is an item that gives you a 3 second polymorph (Like Lulu's). Force Staff lets you push yourself or any other unit (Allied or enemy) in the direction they're facing, allowing you to put enemies out of position or save teammates from ganks.
 
And that's not even starting on the heroes. Pudge operates a lot like Blitzcrank, except you can hook allies too, leading to some interesting plays you wouldn't see otherwise. Slark recently got reworked and he has "perfect stealth" - his ult makes him invisible for 4 seconds and completely undetectable by any kind of stealth detection. You know how Evelynn is permastealthed? Riki has that too, except without the range limit - he can stand right next to somebody and be stealthed all day. Supports can get big, way bigger than in League. One support, Lion, has an ult that is purely a thousand damage nuke. On a support. Most heroes can go in more than one spot though - Lion can be played mid, and it isn't even weird. Naga Siren was designed to be a carry but is run as a support.
 
Last, I'll touch on game mechanics. In League, there are a lot of good mechanics that make the game fun. Last hitting, harassing in lane, brush control, etc are all essential skills. However, Dota just has more to it. Period. Where League has brush control, Dota utilizes a high ground mechanic. Where League has last hitting, Dota has last hitting and denying - meaning you can try to out-last hit your opponent or go in for harassment. You can stack and pull jungle creeps to have them fight lane creeps (minions), denying your enemy the exp. But the enemy can come into the jungle and contest your pull, taking it for himself instead. There's Smoke of Deceit, an item that gives stealth in an AoE for 100 gold until you get near an enemy hero (This one's more like Evelynn's stealth) that can be used to sneak right past sentry wards (Green wards). In addition, you can opt for dust of appearance over sentry wards (pinks) to detect stealth in an aoe around you, and apply a slow to anyone it reveals.
 
Oh, and Dota's shop is better. I have no issue with League's pricing system - I think it's perfectly fair - but Dota's is just cheaper, period. The community runs the show, for the most part. Which is great. And no losing to somebody because they have grinded out the optimal runes for a champ - There's no out-of-game character customization, no building an advantage based on time played.

Added Archimonde yesterday, added Jarmen Kell today. Fixed a bunch of bugs this weekend too.

What the . This is worse than the flex thing. I've always knew water was my fault. I'm the burden of this problem so please, let me finish what I've started. I will go find water.exe and kill him and solve this problem.

Shut the fuck up water. If you want the race code it onto your own server you inconsiderate little shit 

Now that I got my first chance to level something under 20 in Sensei I will say this - it is way too fucking easy to level to 15 on the current system. In retrospect, the old system was fine, possibly with a boosted level 1-8 but otherwise nbd. IMO it should be linear or slightly exponential with a relatively early cap/shift to linear, around 10k/level at maybe level 70 or so.

pls make necklace of immunity restricted on this dumb race. kthx

I agree with Wind on linear, I don't agree at all with the idea that "if you love a race you'll continue playing it for expertise!". The reason people go for expertise is that it makes a race stronger and might give appealing perks to you. I think the only person that actually loves a race is ghoul, and i'm not sure if he's actually sane but I love the guy anyway.
 
 
Zeratul took me three damn days of racing against a friend just to get it to 100. I still enjoyed it in the later levels though, well worth the grind.

If only you could shove players out of the way, or jump on grenades to protect everyone around you from dying. Dammit valve get cracking on that new engine.

I think we should just leave the server as it is, people should just deal with it. Hopefully no asshole team mates block on purpose but why mess with something that is working. If it's not broken, don't fix it.

Since we are nerfing starter races or any race with any sort of decent skills we may as well start the nerf train and nerf human bash as it procs too much, nerf night elf entangle to make it require direct line of sight, Nerf Human General since it is basically human alliance v2.0, Nerf undead since its explosion does so much damage and has a great aoe, Nerf Ghost because it has a great bash, Screen shake & distorted vision, Nerf Tinys knife range. Banana you want balance you have to be prepared to look at every race, every skill and question is that skill balanced and does the skillset as a whole make the race balanced or OP. We shouldn't balance around a few people crying they got killed by an orc nade there are a bunch of other gay ways you could die in WAR3 other than a orc nade. Orc was balanced and now it will be in the shit can again just like it was in WCS1 when people cried about orc nades being too strong in CSS which by the way couldn't even kill anyone if they were above 30 hp most of the time since most people bought the dwarven blastvest to reduces the crit nade damage.

Then again I was on break for awhile too

There's always the one with the tin foil hat.

who is evilhunter32 again i dont recognize him unless he has changed his nam- ohwait

It's time to get rid of Water.exe now that KGame is gone.

I said no for both. Think the blocking can actually be some what helpful so we don't get people into the other teams spawn area within 5 seconds.

I'm human race I don't stand a chance against them  xD

On blu scout, bonus damage is going through evasion. Is there a way to make the bonus damage proc on damage instead of on hit?
 
Edit: I believe it was kirin-tor shooting me at that time
 
Edit 2: I would also like bash/entangle to reset momentum, it's pretty unfair if you get rooted and get to shoot like you're moving.

Crying it is too strong on 1 map of the entire server shouldn't lead to putting a limit on the race. By that argument I demand a player cap of 1 human alliance and 1 human general because fuck their short ass CDs on their teleport.

Fuck off seriously... There is no reason to put a LIMIT on 1 of 4 races that new people begin with.

the orcish horde spam is getting ridiculous on small maps such as office, it's extremely easy to go from full hp to none through only chain lightning spam.
 
currently there are 11 people playing orcish horde on a server of 27. i believe there should be a certain limit to the people who can play orcish horde, because between the chain lightning and crit nade spam, office isn't fun to play anymore.

Happy Birfday
