General Discussion / Re: Why i play SHEEPTAG instead of DOTA!
« on: May 12, 2014, 06:32:01 pm »Here are a few of the reasons i choose SHeeptag over Dota:1. +1 dota
1) sheeptag has a larger playerbase
2) more depth/variation/mastery -> skill is more rewarding
3) more develouped and polished map
4) higher skill-limit -> virtually impossible to fully master/can always improve
5) sheeptag constantly has new additions/features to gameplay -> the game elevates every few months
6) most of the legends/old sheeptaggers/cool guys play sheeptag instead of dota
7) Sheeptag is more strategic and requires more ''intelligence''/theory/understanding, in addition to requiring more skill/talent/practice.
8') and, as a result of point 1-7 AND MORE, sheeptag is more fun. WAY more fun.
What's your reason boys? why do you play sheeptag over dota?
I'd also like for someone to explain a phenomenon to me:
the vast majority of the people in our community that has played both ST and Dota (and mastered the basics of both games) chose to play dota. in fact, the ONLY person in the HISTORY of our community (that i know of) who mastered the basics of dota, yet chose to play sheeptag, was shoop. EVERYONE else either switched partly or fully to dota.
you can write a whole page namedropping everyone who swapped from sheeptag to dota. this started way before st "died", and has continued up til today.
what could explain this?
and since most of todays sheeptaggers haven't tried dota -> What would you say the chances are that you would prefer ST over Dota (after a few weeks of learning dota), given the rate of conversion we've seen so far?
@Beer
you complained that dota didn't have a ranked system before. they implemented that months ago. what are your current thoughts on dota?
2. skill required for dota and sheep tag are the same.
3.dota has better scenery and smooth triggers, etc. +1 dota
4.sheep tag is virtually impossible to master. since sheep tag is in basically, "the void" compared to dota, there will only be the great players and the average ones. sheep tag hasn't had enough exposure and enthusiasm to be considered a game to master.
5. quantity doesn't increase quality.
6.because you ditched sheep tag. it wasn't because dota was so much better, but because sheep tag must have been too bad for you.
7. both sheep tag and dota require the same level of intelligence to master.
8. both sheep tag and dota require high APM, and therefore once you hit a time where you don't have time to stop and think about things then you can assume both games can be equally fun.
I already explained that phenomenon. The sheep tag community, and the game, wasn't good enough for you, and dota and it's community was. The same goes for every other person who chose dota over sheep tag. It isn't the game nor communities fault you all left.
amir, you already found the conversion rate of sheep taggers to dota, which is like 99%. I completely believe if all of us mastered the basics of dota to further continue a dota career that we, the Sheep tag community, would fully convert to dota, but we choose to stay and play sheep tag.
