Coincidentally i just bought the 2015 MBP 13"but with 16GB RAM. I've already installed Dota 2 but have yet to try it. Will let you know how it goes later.

But from what i've read/googled, the problems with Dota on Mac has more to do with the compatibility issue as some said Dota 2 is buggy/laggy with OSX.
Hardware wise there shouldn't be a problem IMO.

Have you tried running Dota via Windows on bootcamp with your friend's Macbook? That might solve the issues.

Playing with just bots, average fps with all settings low is btw 30-60, mostly in 40s.

ramping up the settings the macbook gets a bit hot and the fan kicks in overdrive.

but yea, not very stable with OSX. Noticed some crashes as well, but so far not during in-game.

nope, haven't tried bootcamp yet.
3 days without touching your new toy? haha i couldn't wait, i used mine since day 1 and i haven't even gotten a case yet since last week.
don't worry la, it doesn't scratch that easy if you are just leaving it at home on your desk. I just ordered a sleeve yesterday, have to wait another 2 weeks+ before i get it

Ok found another really annoying bug?
The gameplay is now in slow motion!! Heroes movements are slow motion like while other background animation is moving at a normal speed. FPS average out around 40-50 so nothing to do with hardware limitation.

Just deleted Dota and reinstalling now...

looks like i'm not the only one...

Yep, just bot game. But online with your friend in bot game works fine.
And we get that message sometimes when we close the game too lol.
