maybe it's time to increase max camera distance?

dota 2 camera distance is some joke from 2001 when warcraft 3 couldn't handle more stuff to render at once.
a lot of ability in dota 2 barely fit on screen.
default field of view is not enough to be aware of everything in team fight, and it is very obvious when watching demos.
you can say this is not fair towards people with smaller screens or whatever, but the world is moving forwards and the most common 1080p resolution is enough to handle double or triple zoom out.

raising the topic👐

to be fair, you have a point....

some abilities with some items , the range goes way out of vision, so what is the point of having such items and that ammount of range if you can not use it ?

No, get good at positioning your camera, that's it.

Part of what makes a good dota player is what information they allow at any given time, if you can't face then go do something else.
Got that too?

I think the default zoom out max is fine. There is something to be said about managing your camera position and knowing what you should be keeping on screen and what isn't as important to keep in view, and that's part of what separates pros from casuals. It could be interesting if there was an item in-game that increased your max zoom out, maybe bundle it as an effect with Telescope for the thematic elements, but as for changing the default I don't think it warrants it.

Totally agree. If only they would give it a try to raise the view from 1200 to 1600 ! 100% convinced that a vast majority of players would enjoy the change !!!

I couldn't agree more. While I do think that limiting intel is a good thing in such games, that is already done effectively by trees and other obstacles. The other reality is that a longer camera distance will make targets and projectiles smaller; which seems to me like a fair balance. I have always found dotas screen panning and such to be lackluster. I would welcome this change.
