Judging by the current responses, it looks like a decent amount of people haven't actually READ any of the more recent D&D Next stuff. Will, Reflex, and Fortitude were removed and now all saves are directly stat based. While many of the old 'stand-by's are still their usual selves (Dexterity...

Well for the most point I agree with your points, I don't agree with the representation of 2E v 3/.5E. Yes, all my experience with 2E has been pretty good and its been relatively robust for my needs. However, things like THAC0 are nonsensical and only add unneeded complexity. Some more complex...

Sorry to hear you don't care for it. I actually just picked up BG:EE and have been having an utter blast with it. Yes, THAC0 came from a dark place and some design decisions displease me (bards get armor and spellcasting, but can't cast in the vast majority of armor they have proficiency in, but...

Well, that is if the gank works out fine. Any mess ups and they just get more of your gold in addition to you losing time. The example with AP doesn't apply with all mids. Many of them will still require just as much careful timing (so the cd on their abilities is 6 seconds not 8, if they miss...

Yes, it is a useful tool. It is also a pain in the ass for people like me who aren't focusing on entirely one game. Getting every last hit, harassing the enemy champion while being map aware and ready to converge on someone out of position is enough for me. I'm not always that good at mobas, and...

I really love the game, though I've slowed down playing recently. And there is really one main reason. Armor appearance. I dunno why, but I've had a hard time finding what I want light armor wise, but I'm hoping eventually expansions will fix this. Otherwise I just group with my friends...

Putting in my 2 cents; For me it comes down to mechanics. DotA 2 has a lot of them. However, I also find most of the mechanics incredibly frustrating and time consuming. Denying, while yes it offers tactical advantage, also doubles the work involved in last hitting (as you have to watch for...

Generally I play mages in every game. But I generally I mean almost exclusively. However, I am also running a DnD campaign (3.5e with lots of homerules) in a custom setting with some changed magic rules to fit my preferences better. Mostly I just made sure to make their be heavy penalties...

Not to be a stickler, but the m-m-m-multi stuff is a DotA thing, LoL uses a different announcer style on that. Also, the type of Christian I am (when I do actually go) is fine with priests marrying and doesn't do the whole "you are going to hell thing". I am somewhat tired of everyone...

The problem I have with Apple products is that while yes, they do make things easier to approach and have very clean interfaces, they give this at the cost of actually being able to do a lot with them. The system is very closed, and after learning how to actually take advantage of a lot of...

The lack of Xerath love saddens me. The amount of damage and range built in (with ridiculously good tank without trying), is amazing. Just don't get caught alone. Used to do more AP Twisted Fate, but I'm pretty bad with his ult, and if I'm against proper players I can't last worth a damn, so...

Personal favorite is [mtg_card=Sage Owl] This really is only because of shenanigans that it was used in in high school. Basically, I had a deck, all blue naturally, consisting of only counter spells (including one with buyback), and bounce target permanent with buyback, and an enchantment...

Honestly, I find that disturbing laugh thingy with the odd edge-detection-algorithm-picture-thing(so I have weird connections with stuff) happening far worse than the blank face (especially since it is more than one). What the heck even started it O.o? But yeah, personal avatars still...

Even though it was a movie: Galaxy Quest on topic though... I went with TNG. While I've watched all of voyager, it does rely a bit heavily on technobabbling away everything (it also has a couple of annoying cases where it basically takes established rules, breaks them for an episode, then...

Not going to lie, I'm getting a really strong GW2 vibe from the design decisions the developers kept mentioning. This pleases me quite a bit, as I feel those are really good decisions to go with. However, not so thrilled if the game sticks with a subscription model - would really prefer TES not...
