Can you talk about the significance of the screenshot/video ban?

Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question. They called it The Prayer, its answer was law Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone

It's absolutely nothing to worry about. It's probably because they're doing some major front end / air app changes in the next 2 days (announced on the beta forums) and they're tweaking the engine (it has only gotten better) and some of the 2-D art (again, for the better). Basically, it looks great but they want to make it look better. I can understand it, though I don't understand why they think it would hurt them for people to see screenshots. I think it looks better than Starcraft 2.

Thanks!

If any of you don't like DOTA-style gameplay at all and just want invites because you're bored and have no intention of sticking with it and I find out - I will slay you.

I'm getting on here in the next day or two. Things have just been hectic.

I like DOTA, but am bad at it. However, I'd still like to give this a shot, if you've got keys left.

Do they use the last-hit mechanism like DotA? I wasn't a fan of that.

Played a few games last night and I really like the Tyrn... whatever character.
I'm having lag issues though. I was playing one game fine, and then the next two my character would stop and I'd have to wait for the game to update me.
Is this my end or the server crapping on me? I recently moved, but have the same cable service. I hope I didn't get fucked. :/

Do they allow panning out? Demigod does and I think it contributes to the lack of intimacy that I feel in Demigod. I like the game, just not as much as I like DotA.
How are the maps? I liked the single DotA map that I played much more than any of the Demigod maps.
How's the balance between hero skills and items? Ideally this would be on a hero by hero basis (with some heros being less dependent on items and some being more)

You can pan in, but not really "out" as that would go. I play at max range out all the time and it's still pretty close. You have to pay attention to the minimap.
The only map available right now is the single DotA map. Basically the same thing without a secret shop, maybe a bit smaller. The next one is a 3v3/4v4 map. This one is 5v5 (obviously).
The balance is getting better, but there's always a Flavor of the Week and it's generally the newest hero or whoever they decided was way too weak the week before (in this case, Jax and Master Yi).

Thanks for the answers, one two more and I"ll leave you alone.
How's the summoner mechanism working so far? (from the perspective of is it a 1) Big Impact possibly broken, 2) Interesting/Fun addition or 3) mostly just flavor/we have persistence!-type of addition)
Do hero skills have a good degree of synergy/situationality? I probably like this the most about DotA.

Do you mean the Rune System? It has a big effect on the early game, little thereafter. Do hero skills have a good degree of synergy/situationality? I probably like this the most about DotA. Yes, and they're doing a good job filling in gaps. Some heroes are better than others in terms of synergy, obviously.

Good to hear about skills. Summoner page from their website. It's runes, spells and masterys, according to that page. Maybe it's not implemented fully yet.

I've never played DotA. But the mention of summoners made my antenna quiver. Are we talking anything akin to online MtG/Pokemon where you get to commit murder with enslaved minions? Because that would be

As your champion levels up, you fill up a rune book. You then slot that runebook as a sort of template for each battle. Mine is slotted HP5/MP5 since regen is more important at the beginning. It doesn't make or break a game though and I imagine rune books won't be applicable in tournaments.

DoTA is a game for assholes. So I am interested in knowing what LoL is doing to discourage the playerbase from being raging dicks to new players. Otherwise free is too expansive.
