(the original title is the much more sedate "More on DOTA 2"; in case it is changed by moderators, at the time of this comment it says "How We Built the Unbeatable DOTA 2 bot", which is not even a quotation from the article)
The submitted title has certainly shaped the commentary (see people reacting to "unbeatable", and whether it's an impressive achievement, vs reacting to the technical content).
So, in a nutshell, I think we should avoid titles like this, and I believe the guidelines transparently say so as well.
- sclangdon 9y agoTo be fair, "More on DOTA 2" is completely meaningless out-of-context. The article could literally be about anything (in the DOTA 2 universe). So whilst the new edited title is a bit click-baity, it is nevertheless more meaninful than the original.
