The whole Thieves Guild seems a little buggy. I've stopped doing Shill jobs from Vex cause they never seem to acknowledge when I plant the evidence.

I feel bad for DICE in all of this. Here they went and did all the right things making this game and EA has gone out of there way to generate as much bad feeling as they possibly can. From broken promises to shit talking that made them look like complete douche bags they fucked it all up. They should have let the game stand on it's own considerable merits, instead of trying to shoot down COD with it. It ends up making the whole the project reek of desperation and jealousy. Congratulations EA! You actually managed to make Activision of all companies, look like the white knights of the fight.

I understand why they concentrate on the more popular champions for the holiday skins but sometimes... I mean do we really need another Annie skin? Really?

On the subject of social engineering I'll point to "The Art of Deception" by Kevin Mitnick. Great book.

Annie. She's not OP and there are plenty of ways to counter her but GODDAMN IT SOMEHOW SHE ALWAYS DESTROYS ME! *sigh* At this point I'm convinced it's mostly psychosomatic. The moment I see her I just curl up into the fetal position and weep. Which makes it really hard to hit my hotkeys.

Also I love playing Singed, kinda because he's so god damn irritating. I realize this makes me a bad person and I apologize.

The mode certainly needs some balancing and tweaking, which I have no doubt it'll get. I really like the fact that it makes a number of champions that have been unused and cast aside in classic play viable again. Also it's just a lot less stressful and you can actually get through a game in under 40 minutes. It's not going to replace summoners rift, but as a new spin on a formula that's quickly digging itself into a deep, deep rut I love it and appreciate Riot being willing to try to innovate even in the face of players (not all, but you know who you are) who will never except anything that isn't a "pure" DOTA experience. On the whole I think it's a positive.

Draft is better. Blind pick is a joke because you can't ban/pick counters for any broken champs your opponents will pick. They won't keep it around because it might increase server load.

Maybe, but as a tool for new users it's nice. Theres nothing more stressful than having your first few choices banned and realizing you have to play an unknown when your first getting in to PVP.

@zoner: You are whats wrong with the internet.

Now if they patch in "Hey I'm playing this on a PC not a 360" mode I'll go buy it.

Overstrike?
