in game bloodseeker waves his arms (nothing about this says you moving=damage), turns red (what about this says if you move you take damage), a blood trail shown as a visual cue (all that shows is the path you moved on, a visual cue for opposing players, and that you[r character] is bleeding). the last is the one i will concede the most on, but it still does not show that movement is WHAT is causing the damage.

also deaf people actually play games. i get that sound design is a thing and that is nice but barring rhythm/music games it is just not as important.
True some people are deaf (the rad dude Machalite Dragon for example) and thus miss the big sound that's suppose to alert the player. So congratulations on that one.
I would love to see you explain Anne's stun, because last time I checked all she had was some white circles the floated around her. Which doesn't explain to an opponent that she stuns or how her stun would work.

Yeah, Valve gave everyone exclusive-seeming but totally ubiquitous Dota 2 beta "invites", spent some millions on promotion including a tournament held in front of a live audience in Seattle and the rest is history.

Ok I played some more HotS and am actually enjoying it.

It might be a super complex elite tournament pro-gaming standard, but I am having fun. In. A. Moba.....wow.

This is how it starts. Next year you'll be moving to the west coast and paying an e-celebrity 100 dollars a game to coach you.

I walk other people's dogs for a living and some people still subscribe to porn sites. There is no doubt in my mind that "video game coach" is a real thing. And I already resent them and their willing cash cows.

I once worked at a computer lab in college. This one kid would spend all day looking at LoL memes and deviant art and fanfic and poo poo. I thought he was the most pathetic loser ever. I now play DOTA frequently :(

When I was doing ASM on a Motorola 86hC11 in a computer lab I spent all day on SA. In fact that's probably why I joined.

I do not do Assembly anymore.

E>W>Q with R woven in depending on whether she needs initiation for another or dps. also bad karma telegraphs by not w'ing from within the minion wave, e'ing out of it to the side, and q'ing.

unless you are seriously asking if i can see the giant thing appear over her head when she uses her ultimate, in which case you are being kind of insulting.

I dl'd LoL and HotS the other day, because I was curious about Mobas. Basically LoL is too long and HotS has dumb "objectives" I don't care about. Maybe if someone makes a game where I can punch people for 15 minutes and be done with it, that'd be fine.

dota 2 is better than lol simply because it has a much better business model and you dont have to go running around buying all kinds of stupid bullshit like heroes and runes. its easily the best free to play model out there

You should play LoL ARAM mode. Its 5v5 brawl on a single short lane with some towers. Most games take 20-25 minutes and every single one of those minutes is spent punching people.
