dota 1 clean graphics

[76561198436395756]

i was reading about dota 1 that i encountered these words

"Smooth mechanics govern this Warcraft III mod. The low end graphics will have you focus more on actions. Another aspect of having lower quality visuals is the clean evaluation of your actions and faster reactions. There is a lower chance of getting lost in the drama that unfolds on your screen."

and its so right... after 3k hours of playing dota 2 still i get lost in middle of fights
still i hear steamers say what the hell happened
we need clean graphics for better gaming not a game full of cosmetics and ambient effects
i still play dota 1 sometimes and this never happens
valve sacrificed game mechanics for money on cosmetics just look at life stealer new ulty effects it fills ur screen just look at planet fall effects it turns ur screen black
and for me i need to zoom out the camera and game doesnt have this
cant tell u how many times i lost hooks or tornadoes or fissures bec my screen was so small compared to map
i just hope they add more settings into the game so i can turn off extra effects and zoom out my camera

[shit]

If you feel like you can't see enough on your screen get a monitor with higher resolution

No, you are not allowed to zoom out camera, just as in first person shooters you are not allowed to distance camera so you see what's happening behind you. That's a part of mechanics.

And what are you going to ask next? Remove fog of war? Because you cannot see enemies in trees? And don't know what they doing and get ganked?

what the ♥♥♥ dude
dota had camera zoom for 5 years after patch 6 in dota 1
and everyone was using it
even the most stupid games have this setting
zooming has its downsides too so it should be a personal setting
and i dont mean to remove fog xD i mean remove that blood bath that valve made with ambient effects on heroes some new spells almost block ur vission like this wk arcana ulty
after all moba is a part of strategy genre and all strategy games should have zooming options
and u tell me u are not suppose to see whats happening behind u xD what the hell
zooming out doesnt make difference in ur game play its just a personal setting
like keyboard settings
if u zoom out ur camera u may miss an animation like sunstrike animation so it has its downsides too... its not an advantage

If u play Dota zoomed in like an FPS you deserve a 3000K year ban .

go watch a TI game with the best screen u can find and u still get confused
then i show u a championship dota 1 game and u can tell every move after u watched once
this game has gone so deep into ambient effects
i play invoker a lot and when u play with the persona ppl almost cant tell if u sunstrike
but its so ez to tell with no cosmetics
there is jugg sword that leaves trail when he moves
u can see where he gone 1 sec after he goes into fog
im not into skins but there are many things like this for sure
my point is we players and valve should value game mechanics more than this
this game is like a trading post for cosmetics

if you are a good player,this wont be a problem for you.Things that leave trails are pay to lose and your enemy cant make you use it,so its just like an extra challenge.If you dont like effects so much,then go play chess,pretty much same concept as dota strategic wise,but no effects at all.
