"We extensively tested our Dota 2 Edition of the Rival Optical Mouse with professional players from Natus Vincere, Invictus Gaming and Fnatic which has resulted in one of the most powerful mice we've ever built - and to make it even more special for the Dota 2 community, we've added a unique in-game item."

This precision gaming tool was carefully crafted after a rich history of tournament-grade mice created for the best professional players around the globe. Gamers can tune their CPI, polling rate, mouse acceleration, and a full arsenal of performance mods in an easy to use interface courtesy of SteelSeries Engine 3.

Meh... MOBAs. The fast-food of video games and the number one cause of death of AAA gaming.

As if triple A games are the pinnacle of pc gaming.
Either way nobody if forcing you to buy this mouse just to play one game.

Not enough buttons!

Sincerely,
Doto player

Not worth the money in my opinion. Ergonomical shape - may be not seen in the picture, but it's not symmetrical- not a con, just not for everyone. Sensor has a bug, when you move it too fast/as well as colourful mouse pads- same as Kinzu. SS engine is a huge resource hog in general. It has nice LEDs though. For 70 euros, I think there are way better options.

Meh... MOBAs. The fast-food of video games and the number one cause of death of AAA gaming.

Fast food? After about 2000 hours of Dota 1 and 2 combined (6.5 years, with a 2 year break for LoL), I still got things to learn. Some other MOBA games are indeed watered down, but to call it the number one cause of the death of AAA gaming is a bit far-stretched imo.

The number one cause of the death of AAA gaming, is AAA gaming.

The number one cause of the death of AAA gaming, is AAA gaming.

Indeed. Im looking at the Watch Dogs for example, and think how much more better was the game would have been if it would have a much better story and gameplay. The action is boring, repetitive, objectives are hilarious stupid and unrealistic, and so on.

The number one cause of the death of AAA gaming is Ubisoft.

I think we have finally distilled it down to it's minimalist elements.

But seriously, maybe if people would stop doing things like pre-ordering them by the effing millions, or buying them anyway after reviews state it's the same bullshit they do every time (especially at the beginning of a franchise like AC or W_D) maybe then we could talk. Buying their products and feeding the perpetual machine of repetitive shit->good game with same engine after they've had a few years to make what they should have in the first place->rerelease said second game until it becomes like the first in new packaging forever is the problem. Me, I'mma jump back into Shovel Knight...which isn't Dohtah or UBISOFT...iow, it's fun and somewhat unique.
