@Captainhowdy Those “poor” choices you’ve mentioned are not actually choices. Not having, for example, an automatic camera focus is part of the game dificulty, and that over the years while dota was only a WarIII mod has become an important mechanism that draws a line between good and bad players. If you dont know how to position your camera right, you will not be able to perform some very specialized plays. The same goes for the “allert” when you’re under attack. That makes necessary that you are aware all times where you hero are and what he is doing when performing some micro or anything else you might want to. And the last point of your argumentation, I dont know what you mean by proper keyboard support. Dota 2 is full costumizable, you can have your actions anywhere you want in your keyboard, idk how that can be said as poor keyboard support.

Poorly designed hud….. not sure what game you were playing, but its one of the best designed huds I’ve had the pleasure of using.

Lack of keyboard support??…… thats just plain false you can map any action to any button, there are a myriad of options in this respect.

In respect to other moba, its a graphical beast, the skills and actions are beautifully animated. You most certainly can snap the camera back to your character, or your courier or any of your control groups simply by doubling clicking/tapping the button you have mapped them to (clearly your keyboard comment is dubious at best if you didnt even know you could do this simply task).

Best Moba on the market by far, may be on the best games Ive ever played period.

So you won’t find me playing the game. It’s annoyance after annoyance, like the game is actually fighting back while I play.
