Woah bro, time to chill

So I entered my first tournament in over 8 years since Nintendo's melee tournament in nintendo world Nyc. Although it was just a netplay tourney, it feels good to be back

who here plays Dota2? Could any of you guys tell me if it is demanding? as in i shouldn't even try to play it bc my laptop can't handle it?

also, what is better about it compared to LoL

Imo, everything in Dota 2 is better than LoL. More mechanics to use, more strategy required as I find that battles happen a lot faster. The game punishes you very severely if you aren't careful enough. Not to mention all heroes are available from the get go. The game overall is more polished, which is no surprise, considering the company behind its development.

According to me and others I know, the LoL-Dota situation is similar to Brawl-Melee. Fundamentally the same, yet so different. The common consensus is that the learning curve of Dota is much more steeper than LoL, and that the Dota community can really be asses compared to the LoL community. One thing that particularly irks me about LoL is the fact that the map is so static and basic. The forests in Dota 2 can be cut allowing for elaborate gank plans, there are elevations that offer some interesting changes (farther vision, easier to miss if fighting uphill, etc.), and the runes that can be found on the river offer some neat perks. Also, the tall grasses in LoL are really stupid, I find, along with the ability to teleport back to base with no needed items.

I myself had started getting into the game a few months ago but couldn't continue because of college, so my personal bias is obviously leaking in this post. But even when I try to consider stuff objectively, it just looks like Dota 2 is better in every regard. But of course, it all depends on your priorities. Trying both games is the best solution. Just stick with the one you prefer.

As for being demanding, it doesn't need much. My ****ty 2010 computer with its ****ty integrated graphics card (note: I can't run PM on Dolphin) can run Dota on medium settings pretty smoothly.

Just played a match as Roy, but replaced his model with Marth's. It's actually quite funny to see Marth doing some of Roy's motions, especially his down taunt.

Crap, now I wanna try that.

It's like Marth is even more of a kid

P:M's landing detection is dumb honestly, people land with their feet, not with their knees.

Awesome! Thank you so much!! By the way just to be clear, the bigger one is Brawls hitbox right?

Yep!

this is what i have seen and thought as well, i've just never had the chance to try Dota, while i have played LoL quite a few times and i usually fall asleep bc of how boring it is

welp, that settles it, gonna play Dota2 SON

 

[shairn]

Sethlon making Roy look top tier right now. There's no way I could believe someone saying Roy needs a better recovery after this weekend.

 

[CORY]

that flareblade from deep off stage. he's a beast! he's super saiyin, in their monkey form.

 

[Giygacoal]

Hhh? I thought landing detection was fixed a long time ago.

 

[CORY]

damn, that ending : (

 

[CyberZixx]

That was an awesome set. I was rooting for Sethlon but props to Zero.

 

[shairn]

RIP what could have been.

The fire lives on in our hearts.

 

[Empyrean]

So who came from losers? Just tuned in to see Set 2 of GFs.

 

[DMG]

Sethlon came from losers, reset bracket and took it to Game 5

Pit's on that fast track to getting nerfed LOL

 

[shairn]

Sethlon losing to dthrow fair over and over after all the stuff he pulled is pretty frustrating.

Man, MLG chat is a huge circlejerk. I wish I were on twitch.

 

[Redd]

Just woke up, dang I missed all the hot Pit action. T_T

 

[Gamegenie222]

Sethlon got bopped by Zero WTF? I didn't watch cause I've been watching NWMVI and UMVC so yeah but that's crazy.

 

[DMG]

I wouldn't call winning Set 1, then taking Set 2 to Game 5 getting "bopped". You're banned from saying anything, ever

 

[SpiderMad]

I got about an hour I think to still register for UFGT normal price, think I'ma not do it and just spectate which is what one of my friends plans on doing.

 

[DMG]

Don't be a poon. Go register and play and win gold coins

 

[Warchamp7]

the learning curve of Dota is much more steeper than LoL,

Fun fact, this is one of the most common misuses of a phrase. A learning curve is knowledge over time. A steep curve means a game is easy to learn

 

[Empyrean]

I think what I meant to say was fairly obvious. I didn't know that, however, I'll make sure to use the expression correctly in the future, to avoid the wrath of other Warchamps.

But for your sake, let me rephrase that: Dota 2 is a much harder game to get into than LoL. An average Dota 2 player will do good in LoL too. An average LoL player will suck at Dota 2.

 

[shairn]

So I look away for a bit and Mango is 2-0 against Hax?

Sure is a change of pace from the 3-1 defeat he took just half an hour before.

 

[Soft Serve]

I've been too busy watching K9 and SS tear up SSS, whats been going on with Whobo and NWM?

 

[Gamegenie222]

M2K won NWW for PM and Melee. Now we are finally on SSF4AE2012.

 

[Strong Badam]

KBrad noooo

 

[| Kailex |]

Great, I missed everything.

 

[Kati]

Technical question: would this stage cause desynchronization?

http://www.mediafire.com/download/unnncaka9db1w9c/Lylat+Cruise.rar

It uses a rel file to give Lylat Cruise a static background. When using it, stgstarfox_asteroid, battleship, corneria, and space don't load.

I want to assume it is okay to use this stage, but I am making a tournament build for my scene and don't want to cause issues.

 

[shairn]

Desync is irrelevant in local play, so go crazy.

 

[arcticfox8]

Welp

Punch-Out stage confirmed banned

 

[Empyrean]

Great, I missed everything.

This.

Anyone know if SKTAR will be streamed on Twitch, or is it also gonna suffer from MLG's horrible stream?

 

[Redd]

This.

Pretty sure it's being streamed by both CT and VGBC. They were both in the trailer.

 

[Empyrean]

Then that's a huge relief. Not having video uploads of such an event would have been crazy ********.

 

[standardtoaster]

It will definitely be on MLG again as it's an MLG qualifier
