Lol yes I do know that thanks, but who owns and profits off DOTA now? A completely different company, which is why Blizzard would want to prevent this from happening again by including something like my suggestion. And it wouldn’t be a hidden agenda if it’s explicit in their terms of service...

Nope, DOTA 2 does not use that system and does not give you loot in custom games. The only way to get random drops is through ranked/official matches, and even there the drop rate is horrendous.

I would but judging by Kotaku’s Overwatch posts, I’m afraid of what I might find...

Then that is Blizzard’s call in saying they would rather cater to players who want to easily farm their shinies than they would preserve the integrity of the loot system. Blizzard can’t have it both ways.

I think the issue is that they are joining these custom games when they otherwise wouldn’t be playing hence the reference to auto-clickers, so I don’t think the length of the games matters much.

I mean I guess there could be people who like the art style/characters or whatever but not the team v. team gameplay and that Blizzard thinks it’s worthwhile to cater to these players.

But these things are purely cosmetic so they don’t actually affect the meta. I have no problem with games that have microtransactions for purely cosmetic items (as my dota 2 account would show) since it doesn’t really effect the gameplay. I’m sure people would play these games without the cosmetic items, but it does…

What benefit does Blizzard see from having a popular custom games mode? I don’t play Overwatch but I bet the amount of people who play solely for the custom games would be rather small so its not like the mode is contributing to the game’s popularity.

WC 3 didn’t need to incentivize people play, yet they still did. If people want to play custom games, they will.

An incentive that is easily abused. If people want to play custom games they will. WC3 had a robust custom mode without any need to incentivize people to play. Same thing with DOTA 2 right now.

Or: just remove xp from custom games. Was dumb for them to include it in the first place.

Don’t lie, you as an Arsenal fan love this shit.

That’s a gimme for someone ranked that high in FIFA 2017.

No, puta is akin to whore but lacks a homosexual element. Puto is more like F*ggot.

Wow, racist.

I know a good Korean recipe for buldogi.

Honestly, it sounds better than Billiam.
