I’ve tried to start playing Dota 2 in earnest several times since I got into League of Legends, and each time I’m just like NOPE NOPE NOPE. Heroes of the Storm, on the other hand, actually makes me feel like I can be a competent person at playing video games. Well, sometimes... Read more

God, poor Poppy. I should do an article about her...The League Of Legends Champion That Time Forgot. Read more

I think people realize that, they just think that it’s also shitty to do so. I mean, if you’re making close to a billion dollars a year through in-game purchases, do you think you could stand to ease back a little bit and improve some basic aspects of your game that are deteriorating? Sure, Riot is a company that’s Read more

You are correct good sir. I’m sorry! That wasn’t my finest moment. I still don’t entirely agree w/ the logic expressed by some of the people here, but I should’ve been more diplomatic. Thank you for your thoughtful response. Read more

The game doesn’t actually have voice chat, so I only ever use it when I’m playing with close personal friends. Text chat can be rough, at least when you move into Hero League (which you don’t have to do!), but you can always mute people. Read more

Just to be clear, this is actually E.T.C.’s recall animation, NOT his Mosh Pit move. I captured this quickly because I thought his pose was appropriately triumphant.

Oh, the first thirty seconds are BEFORE the gates even open, so it’s literally just in the very beginning of the match. Some people have suggested this will actually help motivate early game AFKers, see here. Read more

Right, but the difference w/ Uther as Bowder suggested in that interview I linked to is that he ALWAYS has this trait, so he’s going to be particularly tricky to deal with early in the game. I assume that it’ll get less intense as the game goes on and respawn times increase, whereas Uther becomes more formidable in Read more

If they ever feel like adding the paladin from DII, I could see him being a good support too—though they’d have to differentiate him from Uther. Also possibly the necromancer? He could be a cool, less heal-centric support...I’m thinking something like Thresh from League of Legends. Read more
