Attention: What the HELL is this?

I just played a round of DotA and what I saw... pissed me off.

It appears there may be a bug or rig or something in the current version of DotA that seems to double the damage done by Sentinel creeps late game. If you have hte latest version of DotA, download and watch this replay.

Yes, it is a big file. That's because the game was a healthy one and a half hours long. You will notice that near the end of the game things get really out of hand. Now I know the tactic purple used, mass-charming creeps and using them to dam their own creeps in the base. That's not my problem. My problem is that our gouls are dealing maybe 27-35 damage while their treants are doing 67-74 or so. As a result, our base was getting pounded and we needed to keep almost the entire team in on defense non-stop. Even with my nearly-godly item set-up, going offensive was a huge burden.

Two words: Bull s***.

Unless there's a hidden upgrader somewhere that both sides can access, I protest this map version and request that the creator fix it.

DotA has sucked since TFT came out, do yourself a favor and just don't play it anymore.

and whos gona watch this about a custom game?

You'll find few avid Dota supporters here, my friend.

Have to agree; and still, it is one of the best maps played on bnet regulary. If I saw some other good map as often I see DotA, I'd sure be playing that instead.

Other than that, I don't think there is any abuse/bug at work here. It's just that after spawn buidings are destroyed on one side, the opposing side gains a dmg and hp bonus so the game doesn't last too long after that.

Thank you, Anitarf. This thread wasn't made to support DotA and say that it rocks or sucks or whatever, and I do admit that from a neutral point of view it is a decent map (on a scale from crappy waste of time to best. map. ever). It was made to explore the possible rig or bug or whatever.

While risking a potential dangerous subject...

Did anyone, ever, figure out what the deal is with the 'Atma Weapon'?

Okay that is just rigged. It seems Guinsoo likes to make the team he likes to play as better than the team he doesn't like to play as. I can't read JASS, but I can't find any triggers in DotA 5.60b that look cheesy. For those of you who want an unrigged version of DotA, I am working on a DotA of my own, it's going to be a mix of like Allstars and AE4 kinda. It'll have the cool heroes from Allstars and the fairness of AE4 (AE4 is like the best/most fair version if you don't know) and probably some heroes from AE4 like the Sidereal Engine and stuff... But to do the Sidereal Engine I need the Sieged model which I can't find, if anyone knows where I can get it that would be great. So watch for Defense of the Ancients: APOCALYPSE coming to gateways near you ^_^ :8

I think we can safely say this is rigged. But what map isn't rigged? Even if the creator is completely clean, someone'll crack it and rig it, and then it's no longer fun.

You know what I think? You should create your own map. To be perfectly honest, if a map is rigged, then don't play it. Noone's forcing you to endure it.

and someone shud close this thread
