DOTA 2: Play, Review, Set Strategy
Another role besides Players? Watcher
Out of the game playing, DOTA 2 offers another activity besides playing Dota, that is to watch the game. If we get back to the past far before DOTA 2, we may realize that eventhough we are not a game player, we were enjoying watching on our friends playing game. In this case, Dota provides room for game play watcher to watch game play that they want without need to attend live playing. The watcher only need to get access to DOTA TV through online and choose which match that they want to watch. Moreover, Dota TV also provides updates related to the latest game play video that they can watch anytime and possible to do pause and play, so they will not miss any part of the game.
CHAT DEVELOPMENT & FRIENDS INFORMATION
Watch on another Players, Review and Comments.
If another battle game usually keep the player’s privacy of their progress and playing style, DOTA 2 done different thing. DOTA 2 provides transparency for players about the other players by its certain features. Player can see certain shared information about other player’s playing style and review them to plan for strategy. For example, each player can show off their mini profile statistics, items, trophies, etc., so it can be seen by other players. Besides, players also possible to share feeds by giving comments about their progress. The last thing is that we even can seek deeper about our friend’s heroes performance by checking on their Heroes MMR that provides us information about the heroes performance quality. We also can see how far different our progression to another player by checking the Playstyle Graph.
In term of communication, since DOTA 2 is a multiplayer game, it will need to provide good communication space for the player, such as chat room. In DOTA 2, the player can either do one to one or multiple conversation and even also bigger conversation room within players. However, the conversation page that was designed in DOTA 2 has not distruct the player’s gameplay, because it was positioned side by side with the gameplay page instead of floating somewhere on the play page. This feature provides comvertable communication within players without need to worry that it may interuput their game play
