I didn't want to reveal I was Asian, they probably have too many of them applying for the beta already
My thoughts after a few games: -Too many leavers, not enough visible disincentive to stop people -Not that many players yet. SEA queues take forever -Don't like the unit reaction delay. It is pretty much an extra 100ms of ping. -I don't agree with certain things that were in Dota because of the limitations of the WC3 engine being ported over. Some of the minor details in the visuals could be improved. Example: I'm still finding it very hard to tell if I got the last hit/deny sometimes, because they are not nearly as blatant as in HoN/LoL. -Some of the effects are hard to see, but that may be because I'm used to HoN/LoL. For those who know who Leshrac is, I was struggling to see if I had activated my ultimate or not, especially in the middle of team fights. In HoN, the port's ulti is very obvious. -Runs very well on my laptop, graphically. There is a bit of audio lag in the picking screen but it is fine in the game itself. -Needs a visible incentive to play, because I find it hard to want to keep playing with the leavers/queues when there is no rating or currency I can farm for playing. All you can see is your win/loss record. Has potential, but still an incomplete game. I'm not going to make a permanent switch until a few key issues get fixed.
Actually, I lied. I got a key, which comes with 2 invites. I'll give the key to someone and they can gift the two invites to two other people. Who is keen?
