As a representative of people with stupid eyes, I always wonder why the broadcasting default isn't color blind mode. It's like 8% of people or so and that's a pretty significant chunk of viewers -- teamfights are hard enough to parse already. Yeah I can watch in client but then I don't get to see the production values or player cams or anything. Seems like a pretty easy toggle to increase appeal at the click of one button.

Man, gently caress those people. They just have to get used to it, color blind people are physically incapable of meeting them halfway,

Indefensible counterpoint: color blind mode looks really heinous and ugly, like, wow, just real bad. I am so glad that they stopped using it and I feel bad for the color blind folks but tbh I'm still trying to wager whether or not I feel bad enough for them to the point where I would want to see color blind mode used again. its real bad

the colors used don't contrast well on the blue/cyan side and end up looking just pale and faded, are a little too neon or something on the pink/red side and it just clashes really hard with the rest of the game and looks weird, idk, it makes me feel like i'm playing HoN again where the game had a color palette designed by someone with no eyeballs

intellectually i have no problem with broadcasting in colorblind mode and it should probably happen, but in my heart it is really annoying and I never want to see it again

I honestly don't understand why all interviews or video spots and everything are still having a single handheld mic passed back and forth. I'm past being angry and annoyed and just curious how it has gone on this long. Get some loving clip on mics and the awkwardness of esports videos will automatically go down 1000%. Or even just give everyone their own goddamn hand mic if you want. Or use a boom mic or some poo poo idk im not a micologist

Shane had a stretch where his stack had to stick to schticks. One time they had all green heroes with only green items and they won on Tide + Necro with refreshers.

If you can get a tourney with those sorts of rules, I'll watch ASAP.

Who has hosted gimmick tourneys so far? Sunsfan/DC have done Captains Draft. Who hosted Atod? (fun idea but the actual games were awful). If LD still posted we could pester him for some Summit shenanigans.

I feel like the ATOD tourneys were too early in the scene to utilize their true potential and would be a lot better now.

I'd love to see a tourney using diving courage (http://divinecourage.dy.fi), I play it when I get bored of normal dota and it can be pretty fun to find a strategy with what you're given.

If the colorblind mode isn't pretty enough for regular people to enjoy it, then it is on Valve to improve it. League of Legends has pretty much made it so colorblind mode IS the default so there are no problems.
