I'm in a really weird place with Lords Management's atm i have basically stopped my occasional dalliance playing Dota2 and have switched wholeheartedly to Hots BUT I'm still really excited about TI and have no desire to watch a Hots tourney atm. 

 

I guess for me at least it all comes down to the fact that if I'm watching dota, I can zone out and do other stuff and pause if something comes IRL up in a long match, or rewind the video if I miss a cool fight because my attention has waned during the lanning phase. Things i just can't do inside any game of dota i'd play myself. It requires a long period of concentration from me, which evidently i'll happily throw aside for the less complicated but more condensed Hots

You should try the Overthrow game mode that's in the new beta client. I think that is going to hit a sweet spot for a lot of people that enjoy all the cool abilities in DOTA, but don't have the interest in committing to potentially long games, or dealing with stuff like getting better at last hitting.

Weirldy last hitting is one of the things i miss!

 

but yeah i might give it a go however it does seem more like a death match rather tha a actual Lords management game which puts me off

It is just a glorified deathmatch. It's fun, but it certainly won't scratch the loma itch.

I like the 3 vs. 3 vs. 3 mode which I think strikes a nice balance between being kind of tactically/strategically interesting without being super complicated/much of an investment. But yeah, it is true that if you want to knock down towers it isn't going to be the game mode for you.

Yeah I played free-for-all and 3v3v3 and the latter is definitely the good mode. I like that they offer it all, though, since it is just team deathmatch, might as well offer different team sizes.

 

Also I have an idea for a custom map that I might try and get working sometime this weekend. And by that I mean I'll make a map in Hammer and then look at what I'd need to do for the scripting and probably not do it.

Thoughts on favorite team? I know that most of the teams have switched it up in the last year so I have no clue who to even put in.

Sniper lost to QoP in the arcana showdown. If he had to lose to anyone, I guess it'd be her. Goddamn nerds.

 

Here's to hoping Tiny wins it out at this point. Well, him or Zeus.

Given the trend of the more recent arcanas making the females expose more and more skin, I wonder if they'll take the reverse direction with QoP!

 

Or just make her totally nude.

I really hope they get her fully clothed if she wins the Arcana because fuck horny nerds. There's porn out there, it doesn't have to exist in content you digest separate from it.

But then it'd probably be like latex or something.

 

Ugh.

You sure it's not people hating on sniper more than people wanting QOP arcana? 

 

Plus sniper's got a ton of cool sets, QOP's got a few wings, a wand instead of a dagger and the rest of her cosmetics is kinda eh. Mah Keen Gun is enough for sniper!

I have no problem with how QOP looks. Isn't she a succubus or inhabiting the body of a succubus?....so makes sense for her to be sexy/seductive...

Because it's a boring, uninteresting trope.

It's also entirely possible to do sexy and seductive without chainmail bikinis! In fact is argue it's easier. QoP is like a cartoon version of sexy. Sure it's stereotypical fantasy cartoon sexy but...that's boring. It's so overdone it ends up just being blatantly pandering.

I wasn't saying anything about a new design, just that I have no problem with her current design ( yes its boring ) but i don't find it offensive or comparable to porn. I hope she does get re-worked.
