ok with that out of the way, pangolier is the best hero in the game, techies is still shit until aeon disk gets removed and timbersaw shouldn't be played as a tanky hero since his early game damage potential is fucking huge
Joseph Nelson
dota 2 players are the same wretched crack addicts as wow players, perhaps even more wretched
Jose Morris
I'm not gonna lie bros, I pine for the time of Medus vs. Specter 60+ mins of nothing happening games bros.
They were more fun than current DotA.
John Edwards
>Still memeback incorporated into the gold/xp formula
Meh
Landon Sanchez
Does Icefrog even gives a fuck anymore?
Liam Peterson
2 shops is a stupid format. It makes the game less learnable for casuals while not actually adding any depth for dedicated players.
Juan Miller
Ice frog has been dead for several years now. Valve assassinated him.
Gabriel Barnes
they didnt do anything to begin with. it gave maybe 1% bonus for 50 stats maybe? maybe less
Lincoln Price
>Attributes no longer provide Magic Resistance, Spell Amplification and Movement Speed for Strength, Intelligence and Agility respectively
I didn't even know they added this. They're now removing stupid shit they added because they listened to reddit? Baby steps I guess.
Julian Nguyen
pretty sure that changed that the patch b4
Samuel Murphy
They added spell amp and cooldown reduction a few years ago because League and HotS were getting so huge. It didn't make sense even back then because DotA is not a "mass appeal, lowest common denominator" kind of game. Ability Draft and custom games were supposed to be the draw for casual, low-end players who weren't interested in deep, mechanical nuances and personal optimizations.
Casuals can obviously pick up and play DotA, but they're going to get burnt out and go to LoL or HotS a lot more quickly than someone who's able to overcome the fact that DotA has a lot more of a learning curve and personal responsibility than the other two games.

>PL breaks the game for three patch in a row
>"Let's nerf Maelstrom!"
>"Uhh oops, let's also nerf PL"
>PLfaggots migrate to naga
Illusionfags are killing this game.
Bentley Clark
Is Ice "The Absolute Madman" Frog just an AI by now? How can you proceed to make so many shit patches for so long
Isaac Brown
League has more personal responsibility.
Dominic Foster
just fucking get rid of mana burn off of diffusal
Owen Kelly
You're a retard game is even faster now, all the memepush heroes and snowballers just had their winrate increased because their creeps and auras dont give afshit about stats, lycan ld, chen, ench, visage all just jumped up 5%.
This is why you cant take Yas Forumss opinion on dota seriously
Hunter Hill
As somebody who is only just now getting into DotA 2 and enjoying it, what does this patch mean for the game?
Tyler Jenkins
nothing. it's just a rebalance patch. nothing groundbreaking.
Angel Green
I unironically think I HAVE FINISHED FARMING AntiMage vs Shotgun Morph Rat/Push duality
And that was like 6 years ago
John Cook
He's not working on the patches anymore, is he?
Chase Reyes
those kinds of games haven't happened since dota 1
why are you pretending you ever played much of dota 2?
Ayden Clark
I wouldn't say he has been for years, the game is balanced by play testers pulled exclusively from r/dota2
Tyler Jenkins
How the FUCK do I stop Timbersaw from dropping so hard late game?
Owen Clark
>another thread where everyone pretends that their personal grievances are why the game is dying
Dota 2 is old, and it's a multiplayer game. There is literally nothing Valve could do to grow the game, outside of spending a lot of money on advertisements, but they're not that kind of company.
The playerbase will eventually shrink to only the most hardcore players who have been playing DotA for over a decade. This will probably still be profitable for Valve because they can just run a skeleton crew which maintains Dota Plus, adds community-made cosmetics, and puts out a patch every six months.
Connor Green
>playing Dota after 7.0 hit
Grayson Martin
Add TF2 characters
Lucas Williams
>ASSFAGGOTS
Isaiah Wilson
And yet LoL becomes even MORE and MORE popular despite being older and more "outdated" than Dota 2. There's plenty of things Valve can do to make the game better and make it grow but they're clearly run by Reddit balancing the game now.
