[quote who="ZehDon" reply="20" id="2206923"]I don't believe I have an elitest attitude towards DotA or the people who play it - I disagree with their behaviour and ideals immensely because they themselves have an elitest attitude; the community as a whole shuns new players and treats them like the scum of the universe because they're not 'pro'. They fail to grasp the idea that they themselves were once inexperienced. I'm no more of an elitest for disliking this behaviour and wishin

Well since we've gotten to a point where we can agree that the general premise of a banlist is not a bad thing I can chop most of this. However I have a few points of contention. [quote who="ZehDon" reply="18" id="2204872"] However, segmenting these 'douche bags' doesn't remove the problem; it's simply a method of ignoring it instead of attempting to effect change in their behaviour.[/quote] You're never going to make them go away.

[quote who="stolivodka" reply="3" id="2204664"]DotA is still around. Go play it if you are so convinced of the superiority of its culture. People like me who came over from SoaSE and SC (real games, not lame mods) are kinda sick of you guys acting like you own the concept of RPGs and capture-the-flag.[/quote] You're playing a game based entirely at its core around a "lame mod" so who's the smart kid? Without those "lame mods" you don't have DG. At all, it's not a thing.

[quote who="alban987" reply="5" id="2203350"]It's fairly complicated. You have to watch the data coming in from the game and interpret what it means... it's not something very simple to do.[/quote] Purhaps it is harder than I figure it is. I'd think that even if banlist doesnt work out of the box with DG it atleast provides some sort of general idea as to how to get where you want to be. It's easier to build something when you know what it is your building. Maybe it's n

[quote who="Sythion" reply="6" id="2203299"]Erebus did not need a nerf, as there was plenty of ways to deal with his "OP" skills. Rook doesn't need a nerf, as there are even more ways to deal with towers. Problem is that people call nerf because they play one specific DG one specific way and expect to be on a level playing field with everyone else at all times. Fortunately, that is not the way this game works. Your uber build is going to have problems with some builds, a

People either don't understand how this works or are incredibly dense. You have the right to play your game. No one is taking the game away from you. Playing online comes with accountability. Something that has been dwindling over the years. Way back some 11 years ago there was this game called EQ. Playing EQ took a LOT of time, more time than anyone should really devote to a game. But that amount of time spent meant that people werent twats. If you were the ENTIRE serv
