Do you think its fair that Tong-fu where eliminated due to dendi's fountain hook, only for icefrog to remove it later?

Doesnt this admit that tong-fu almost where cheated, and that na'vi progressed due to a glitch or unfair advantage?

[Jokoo Magician]

no

No. Anything that's not illegal at a certain point is legal.
Dendi Express was fair game at the TI3. Next time it won't be.

TBH the fountin hook has been a bug from the start and they have only just got round to fixing it. They have known about it for a long time and they choose not to fix it till now slow progress valve.

I think it was fair but still think of it as being extremely cheap.

[Wasted_46]

It was all there for Tong-Fu to use it all they wanted. It was known about. They had every chance to ban Pudge/Kotol or pick it themselves and dminate NaVi with it.

They didn't use it bc it takes skill. Navi used it bc they had the skill. That's about all that can be said about the story IMO.

It's probably more on the lines of: Millions of people watched TI3, they saw about the hook, people that played Dota 2 started copying it and putting it to their advantage. People then started complaining about it on the forums and elsewhere giving their reasons as to why this and that. And then Valve decided to fix it. I'm pretty if the fountain hook thing wasn't used in the TI3, it would've still been a fairly unknown thing (I didn't know about it) for most pub games and it would still be there unfixed. Because I don't know how much time and resources go into fixing a bug like that, but I doubt it would take this long. And in the past Valve stance on it was pretty clear, we do not intend to fix it at this time because we do not feel it's necessary or basicly something along those lines.
So yeah for pudge players out there it might suck, but for the rest of us, meh big deal.
