Welp, don't see too many people using this unless they add a few more servers. 2+ minutes waiting to try a private match just to try out Bane.

Just to echo Swag here (believe it was Swag earlier on Mumble) : I have zilch, zero, nada idea about why people are even remotely excited for Bane.

His visual design is nice, granted, but he's so boring. So, so boring, and another INT hero.

I'm guess it hasn't been implemented yet since it depends on a high player count for it to work. The autobalanced levels intrigues me. To me it implies that there'll be some sort of rubberbanding in regards to leveling.

One thing I did notice: If you guys have custom item builds, or an autoexec.cfg, or anything like that, make sure you copy them to the correct directories in the test client.

Not sure if I like the visuals of Bane. I really liked the creepy old portrait he had. Also his face looks a little too similar to Void, being purple with a darker purple line running down the middle and the grinning teeth.

Maybe it's just me, but

is much more terrifying than the current look.

I get a bit of a Leshrac vibe out of him now that he's a centaurish thing. That old portrait was just creepy.

Agreed, the former w/ animal skull is creepy. Now we have a Halo cross-promotion.

The more I look at him the more it looks like the child of faceless void and leshrac. And then add Alien somewhere in the mix.

On the nice side, bane has bot ai.

The single change I would most want in Dota 2 is the option to swap the minimap to the lower right side. Countless deaths to accidentally clicking the minimap and running the exact opposite direction than I wanted, or the camera going batshit and losing all control. ANGER.

HoN had the option and I really appreciated it there, I need it switched ASAP
 
I'm guessing sylla is going to be pretty soon. I like his portrait, I get a badass old guy vibe from it. Lycan's looks really WIP, as well as shadow demon. Bane's model looks insanely awesome. It's hard to tell if his original model would be better since we can only see his portrait.

Downloading the test client right now but from what everyone is saying I'm doubting I'll be able to play on it.
 
I hope they start putting out heroes more quickly. At this rate, they won't even have all of them released before the year's end. U:

Guess it's not something you wanna rush, though, with this kind of game. C'est la vie.

Store looks amazing, and lots of other new info/stuff in his post.

Social tab will be about clans/ladders/rankings then. Juggernaut/Nature's Prophet announcer packs, custom couries.. nice.
