It depends on the game, but high level teams dont seem to just leave the lanes alone until each side can get some farm. I think dota does a pretty good job of rewarding aggression, especially as the game drags on.

But yes, there are portions of the game that are just farming, and those are boring as fuck. Just how stalemating and building uber in tf2 are kind of boring to sit through.

The funnest games to watch are when a team tries to employ a risky or unusual strategy or draft.

I dont know about anyone else, but I dont find comp tf2 interesting to watch at all. Ever since i quit playing it myself, I dont feel compelled to watch any casts, and if i do the only interesting parts are the middies or headshots.

Maybe its because its a fresh game, or its just the kind of person I am, but Dota 2 is much more interesting to watch than TF2, even if you play the game at a low level.

Why is koth_ashville not liked? CP_ashville I get, but koth_ashville is the most enjoyable koth map i have played in tf2. It's certainly better than viaduct.

Huh, i was wondering why i seemed to lose track of marines as soon as they jumped. It gets really frustrating, especially with low fps.

Theyre apparently adding a matchmaking feature in the coming months, so that should be cool. Pubs are okay right now with the small community, but will probably get worse as the game grows.

Theyre also supposedly working on performance fixes, but i still get shit fps.

This is also a good overview of all the units, buildings and mechanics in the game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inB5lLAcOrM&list=PLCfp7klrYmz-0NcwKiMS-Lb5KXp666Pgc&index=1

Fully Charged 25: featuring Moose

Let's make it happen.

This wrong, i think. A good demoman is the crux of a Highlander team. An amazing one can carry.

Why is OP minus fragged?

All the fucking awful looking hats and lime green paints.

I think they learned their lesson with dota. Every cosmetic so far doesnt really seem out of place.

Youre obviously really good, but why are your opponents so bad? is this over multiple seasons?

Well I think the difference i want to point out is that if both teams drop the demo in 6s, you can still push in with both soldiers, or a soldier + scout. In HL, a demo drop on offense is felt a lot more than just being down a player.
