i agree the minimap it's not "harder" to watch it just doesnt feel natural, something about it

the colours feel different, the hero "dots" on the map feels soooo unatural and i agree the UI just feels wierd




i disagree on the casting/animations part aswell as the shop
when i started with hon it all feelt smoother and the shop was less "spread out" and the items made more sense under what category they were under

Yea they probably did, for some reason i found it easier going from Dota to HoN then HoN to Dota 2 but im sure it will iron out pretty quick.

And yea .. the mini map symbols are soo odd to me.. HoN is the same as Warcraft Neut wise.. and iv been used to that over many many years .. something is off about this dota map but ill get used to it.

Also in HoN i find the hero's are more "distinguished" if that makes sense. The models are very pertinent where as im finding Dota 2 very blended , i think thats just the color change.

i really dont like how the UI is set out before a game
such a cluster fuck and looks poor quality

Agreed on cluster fuck hah, i want a minimalists version
I always changed around my WoW ui as well for less bars ect

Minimap --

It's because you're not used to the game obviously, I'm sure you weren't too attentive to the map when you first started playing dota / hon. Once you get a feel for the game you'll be able to look at the map more often, at least that's how it is for me, I end up being too conscientious about my own hero and putting in too much effort for the basic fundamentals and mechanics.

Shop sucks, courier accommodates for bad shop. (I'd take this over hons good shop and junk courier). I mean, how fucking annoying is it when you're being delivered a big recipe item (Shrunken Head, Geo bane) and you get delivered a fucking sentry ward instead -- especially in team fights. Or how about when you have 1 / 3 or 2 / 4 of the items in a recipe with a full inventory, have fun dicking around to get your item.

Only thing these fucks over at S2 have on DotA is their well polished interface, people with crash problems in the past may disagree here, but I've never had them, and a shop.
