Passed The International, we learned a lot about DotA 2, it’s time to make a preliminary analysis of the beta version of the game.
The network has a podcast in English with 10 disadvantages and 10 advantages of DotA 2 . You can see the original at the link. We also provide you with an approximate free translation of the podcast. We hope it will be interesting. Eeeeeee, let’s go! Top 10 opens:
Let DotA 2 and has excellent graphics, but still there are some flaws. For example, a very ridiculous ult Lich, which could be done much more sophisticated.
Create your Steam profile and stay tuned for new information about DotA 2 and Valve games in General. Here you can view statistics of other players, chat, add new friends. Steam is an extremely convenient gaming platform, be sure to try it!
Cooldown between two buyouts is 3 minutes (for comparison in DotA-4 minutes). Thus, a hero with great means can be constantly redeemed, providing constant resistance to the enemy. This was clearly evident in the championship The International, the duration of many games in which exceeded well over an hour.
Valve organized an extremely convenient store. Things there are on partitions: basic things (basic) and Assembly artifacts (upgrades), which, in turn, contain still on several partitions. Also there is tab suggested items, where proposed items, appropriate this hero. The store has a search bar where you can enter the name of the item you are interested in and purchase it. It is also possible to see what components includes a particular artifact, or in what assemblies it participates.
This panel carries a lot of information about the hero (the stock of health and mana with their every second increment, icons of the hero’s skills with cooldowns and the level of their pumping, etc.), but almost indistinguishable parameters of the hero (attack, defense, agility, strength and intelligence) and 2 gray stupid Windows on both sides of the character’s icon indicate a defect in the panel.
Here is perishing where guys have tried! Voice acting can not but rejoice. Virtually all events, occurring with hero are accompanied by somehow either comment: if you took the rune, killed someone, prokastovali ult, Yes even if simply zadenaili creep and camping on D.
Its heroes it is, however, the enemies are not displayed, you need to click on it and see. It could be done on both sides, which is very convenient. This decision migrated straight from WC3 and, despite the fact that for example in HoN to manabar for a long time and firmly accustomed, IceFrog still decided to leave this aspect unchanged.
Want to see the ability of the hero, put any things and try 1×1 kill Roshan’a ? This was made possible by the presence of Practice Mode in the game.
Even now, at the beta stage, it is almost impossible to play a normal game because of the liver. The rating system is not yet finalized, a lot of mistakes with the enrollment of Livs, so we have to endure. If a person leaves the game, then in many cases it makes no sense to continue it, so many people feel contempt for such players.
And here’s another plus – all your replays with detailed statistics of heroes are saved. You can download any replay and analyze, say, the game of allies or the actions of enemies.
Very inconvenient thing, because to solve controversial issues will have directly in the gameplay. And sometimes it makes you distracted from the game, which is not good.
Models of heroes, like their voices, are incomparable. Lion with a terrifying face, Tidehunter with a huge sickle and fish in his hands, as well as many, many others. All heroes have undergone changes in one way or another. For comparison-models of these heroes in DotA, DotA 2 and HoN .
If you see that your team is not able to pull the game, or the allies are too weak to resist a formidable opponent, it would be very useful to write the appropriate team that would finish the game, but so far we have no such opportunity. I hope that Valve will hear our prayers.
Graphics-one of the main advantages of DotA 2 over its “twins” – HoN, LoL, DotA 1 . Good drawing, detail, animation-all this is breathtaking. In the podcast there are comparative characteristics of these games, look:
At the moment, it is very difficult to get the key to the cherished game. And although there are many competitions, playing a ticket to the world of DotA 2, but only a few will get the game. So I want to get the “Golden key” forum.
Indeed, watching others play is very exciting. Even if there is no opportunity to play, you can be a spectator, because the vision of the world on behalf of the hero is impressive: we watch the movements of the hero, the performance of his unique abilities, both active and passive, his participation in battles. In General, the viewer does not have to be bored.
Perhaps one of the most undesirable faults in the game, which can radically affect the outcome. Yes and desire to play with it immediately disappears, let delay and a minor. In many it causes such a reaction:
Valve needed a person who would understand the smallest details of the future game. It turned out to be IceFrog, an experienced programmer and Creator of DotA 1 in its current form. Now they are cooperating and, as we have repeatedly seen, this cooperation is bearing fruit.
In all MOBA and MMORPG, many players are distinguished by the lack of mannerisms. Insults will always be showered on the heads of those who “did something wrong.” After all, difficult to clearly explain to the beginner what to collect, what to swing, in a non-offensive, isn’t it? And here’s the Troll who should be a little kinder!
Let’s keep ourselves in hand, because it’s just a game, and for many it has become a part of life!
In the top 10 wins a unique mode of observation of the hero in the “Viewer”. Unlike DotA 1, in which the camera just moves behind the hero, in DotA 2 this mode was given a lot of time and space. You, watching the hero, do not just watch his movements, you see him through the eyes of the player. In addition to pumping skills and fog of war – you see literally everything. Each mouse click will be displayed on your screen, you will not be able to distinguish the enemy illusion from the original, you will not see the mana of the enemy, and so on and so forth. Really analyzing the games of experienced players, you can significantly improve your skill of the game, just watching in detail what and how they do. Hats off to Valve for this innovation. 10 out of 10, Bravo!
