Camera Angle and Hud - Effect on Gameplay
Everyone knows that the hud and zoom in this game is awful, but everyone has to deal with it so it isn't complained about too often. Unfortunately, the Camera angle and zoom give a large advantage to Radiant in lane.

As you can see, the camera angle gives extra vision focused in the top left and top right of your screen. Radiant has a gankpath and the enemy lane in those directions. Dire has their camera focused on top river and their own lane, both extremely useless. Along with these unbalances, you have the minimap right next to where the Dire will be primarily clicking in lane.

Playing well as dire is completely possible, and most people are used to it(including myself) but I could never understand why the game felt clunky and awkward when playing dire, and this is what I found when exploring that.
