I can accept that this laptop I'm on is too shitty to run dota, but that I can't even watch dota stream, is kinda sad. Well, you are probably doing fine. Don't feed and remember to click on things. Have fun and win.
I am playing my entire Steam library alphabetically. After a few months, I am now mid-way in to the letter "D." Played the first Dota 2 tutorial last night, then read much of this thread. Oh boy. What should be a good benchmark for "got the Dota 2 experience" so I can then move on to the next game? I don't intend to become a regular player, but am not opposed to putting 10-20 hours in.

I say play 10 games of limited heroes vs real players Do this after playing some game with bots, but make sure you practice with a hero that is also available in limited hero mode. Limited heroes is where new players start, as there is only a small fraction of the simplest to play heroes to choose from. Playing 10 games unlocks an achievement that gets you a cool weapon as well. By then you would have an idea of the "Dota 2 experience" and know I you'll want to invest more time in it or not.

I suggest, if you can, get a 5 man stack with your friends (especially good if you have a few who are decent at the game, and have Skype or some other voip system running while playing, in game voice chat is inadequate) and just play public match making. If you enjoy the experience then play more otherwise there is no point in getting involved in ~10-20 hour of Dota 2 solo in any of the currently available options.
Would watch if you have other quality streams available, no bandwidth for your source stream.
Well he's never going to get partnership if you don't spread the word so he gets reliable viewer counts! The power is in YOU.
He doesn't need a partnership to send a lower quality video to twitch (partnership is required to have Twitch trans-code on their end to have the multiple stream quality option). Assuming that he wants his stream to get as many people to watch as possible (as appose to just a video record, which all dota 2 replays are saved anyway), lowering the video quality allows this.
Also I can't recommend it if I can't even watch it.

So you're advocating gimping fun for people who don't watch streams on toasters?!? You monstrous evildoer. My suggestion is perfectly suitable for all audiences! And you come forth with such a disgusting idea just to benefit you yourself with zero regard for others! As A Forum Asshole, I can tell you. You are a dick.

I think this community must be equivalent to the Halo community on Xbox.
