1v1 Dota.. dumb ?

Durotar SG

DoTA is a team game. Sure, you can play 1v1, but that just kinda takes the fun out of it. I agree when one plays 1v1, every little decision counts, because there's not teammate to back you up, whether it's to gang a hero or to cover your mistake. But 5v5 requires a WHOLE lot more skill, micro, intuition, and teamwork. That said, 1v1 is good for practice, like (mentioned above) lane control. Wink

True enough, Dota itself is a team game. It is proven that, a single hero will not win over 3 or more heroes on NORMAL basis.

But then again, Its we players who actually experiment the game. And eventually find out some other ways to play the game as well.

True enough, perhaps 1v1 dota defeats the purpose of DOTA but its fun nevertheless. Besides, there are also competitions for it. So somehow, Its actually recognized as a different playing way Wink

EDIT:
To add, Im sure some of you might had played some draft matches before as well. And often there will have a single hero soloing; Viper, Warlock, Qop, Thd etc. etc.

So perhaps 1v1 dota isn't that dumb, But perhaps it might act as a training to the form of LANE CONTROL. Which isn't so bad after all? What say you guys?

True enough, If we were to start the game with 3500 1v1. Bane would have a upper hand. But as far as I know it, Some of the 1v1s competitions I had played. They often started with 500 gold(Including hero pick) . I guessed it isn't only the hero that was chosen that gurantee the win, But there are also other factors such as, Terrain knowledge? Farming? Etc etc.
