Glad we got to the gates opening. Excellent pace and timing of the whole series to date.

“I am that guy”

Stats are awesome, i love the amount of data you can bring up about anything in Dota now its amazing the amount of effort thats gone in. I’m not sure that you can balance strictly off win/lose ratios but the data itself is a fantastic snapshot into how people play and where they might go.

I think you missed the point of the article. It’s more about using data and metrics to evaluate and develop games on a professional competitive level. You can still main a garbage-tier character if you want for funsies. Nobody’s gonna fault you for that. That can be really fun in its own way! But don’t expect people…

What the hell are you even on about?

Great article. Really shows off the importance of data and analytics especially in a game like Dota where the pros seems to be getting better all the time. That makes differences between the T1 teams razor thin edge and they are always looking to expand the current understanding of the game.

This looks lovely. I would love to see a Terminator inspired scene.

I listen to John Denver, so I should be pretty good at this game.

I liked Rogue One because it was a new story. Give us more side stories about people who haven’t been talked about, people who made possible the big stories we already have.

The vest and helmet were of little help to me aside from making it easier for the people in the raft to see me streaming under the water. I still have scars, both…

Fallout and Ark? I can get down with this. I really hope structures are more stable than in Ark. Which was my biggest annoyance. Building a nice structure, venturing out into the wild and returning only to have a dinosaur trampling through my house like it wasn’t even there.

Yeah I’ve also heard people who know the game make comparisons to Ark, fwiw.

We do our best to just treat them like we would any other publisher. Any time I’m going to run a report like this, I’ll always ask the relevant parties for comment. Sure, Bethesda hasn’t responded in nearly five years, but that doesn’t mean we’re gonna stop asking. Let the onus be on them.

Wait, you guys still email Bethesda? Is it protocol or are you just trolling them at this point?
