>240 damage reduction on Enfeeble

???????????

>nullifying 3/4ths of a rapier

madman!

>tfw no living anathema hero

Monkey king is so fucking broken

I COULD HAVE A NEW THREAD

OR

I COULD GET

SIX
TREANT

loli creep GODDESS

How do I play against humans in the test client?

THIS IS ARTOUR'S PATCH, I FEEL IT LADS

I could play dota or I could get six treants

I WANT TO PICK OMNIKNIGHT

CRASHING THIS LANE

>no pros on twitter talking about the patch

QUICK. CHECK ALL OF THEIR REACTIONS.

BUT IS IT AS GOOD AS +6 TREANTS?

>Tourist vedditors that didn't know DOTA 2's cooldown reduction works on items.

why are they in this thread? why are people here that dont play the game?

>+6 Treants.

Are invoker and techies dead?

Ilexa is cute! CUTE!

So are Techies supposed to be with the team now? I like my "m-muh mines" type. I'm not liking the look of new Techies tbqh.

HoN MK was cooler

I miss the time when games were just complete at some point.
There wasn't a constant pressure for "change" or to "evolve". Patches were issued but they didn't change core game mechanics 5 years after launch to please 15 year olds.

I blame Americans and their ADD and sugar fried brain.

Because there was only one item that reduced cool down. Now people can get like a free Octarine at lvl. 15

I too am in denial about my shit meme streamer

>face spammer and lel ouch spamming 6 treants meme
Really made me think

LOLI HERO WHEN?

Crossdressing EIDOLON

queue up for a game?

People didn't think it applied when octraine was introduced. its good

I think its more along the lines that the talents seem to be instrinsic to heroes, so you would assume the cooldown reduction only works for the hero abilities on not their items as well... i dont know to be honest i thought it was obvious as well, same reason why spell amplification works on items.

>tfw he misskills 6 treants and loses Kiev

I just want source 1 back and the good old classic dota, I don't like this, I don't like those changes, I want to play classical dota and not a heroes of the storm custom map

Dota Vanilla Server when?

is /v/ exaggerating about the patch? is it as "casual" as they make it out to be?

>+100 damage at level 15
Carry Omni real now? On the other hand, 6 mana regen is amazing for a support Omni.

>Buy Aghs on NP
>Ult
>Every time it kills a unit you get a treant
>Every time you spawn treants you get +6 treants

112 TREANTS?

this is a patch that favors support players
u cant even buy helm of dominator anymore as a carry
>gets hit by lich for 250 dmg at lvl 20
carries and cores BTFO!!!!

>bane ever reaching lvl 25

idk man, I'm pretty sure they are changing techies so techiesfags won't be mad and they can't buff him at the same time because normalfags would butthurt like when techies was released

yes they changed it so it sucks

What happened to creeps being corrupted monstrosities that could only mindlessly fight like in the first comic.

Why are they people now.

DEEPEST FUCKING LORE

so what's the dumbest talent tree dotard?

>he doesn't know about the whisperers

its the same people posting here and yes its fucking terrible and its only the beginning

This is the last stage of what they started back then with 82

The game just got lot harder.

yes

you are now supposed to leech xp in a lane while putting down mines in eventual teamfights and stopping pushes with your remote mines

basically BadZeus or skywrath in a fight, no more sneaky mining the enemy jungle since you can't deny yourself anymore

JUST A REMINDER THAT

NEW FUTURE HEROES CONFIRMED

4th Attribute coming CONFIRMED
Ember - Agi
Earth - Str
Storm - Int
Purple - ????

First canon loli character CONFIRMED
Ilexa, the Radiant loli creep

for real. And now with the backpack you don't even need to dedicate 2 or 3 slots for support items. You just swap them in when you need them

He's talking about the treant again

Wait does that mean you can summon 11 Treants now with that or does it simply go up to 6?

I PHUNKING HATE CHANGE

>THIS GAME IS EP*CLY SH*T NOW

I PHUNKING HATE CHANGE

>THIS GAME IS EP*CLY SH*T NOW

I PHUNKING HATE CHANGE

>THIS GAME IS EP*CLY SH*T NOW

Tide is a big guy

just played it on test client, the game overall feels the same but there's way more decisions to make (but mostly people aren't used to the new mechanics), its hasn't become casual by any means and it's still dota

anyone got full pic ?

Nope, bulldog tested it. Still 1 on every unit.

he's so fuckihng mad rofl

>144 damage from passive not counting aghs
HARDEST CARRY

>multishot arrow.
this is pretty silly.
the game just playing itself instead of the player when you hit these

Invoker actually blows thanks to not getting free stats from levelling orbs

These creeps don't live within the Ancients' spheres of influence.

>spirit brothers
since when were they called brothers in the Lore? isn't this the first time?

Queue doesn't work.

>+12% Cooldown Reduction OR +90 Gold/Min
>+100 Attack Range OR +200 Health
>70% Spell Lifesteal (1/5 for non-heroes) OR +35 Intelligence
TELL ME
IS MY GIRL AKASHA NOT SHIT ANYMORE

Bulldog getting triggered over +6 treants is fucking hilarious.

LMAO 6 TREANTS

My test client won't download, I have a corrupted courier particle file so the game won't open. Reinstalling or verifying cache wont work, what can I do?

>Most heroes get +20 movement option at lvl 15
>Other heroes get + 15 movement option at lvl 10
>Doom gets + 15 movement option at lvl 15

Valve what the fuck is this bias
Stop bullying Doooom

>going to /v/
no wonder you're fucking retarded
kys and don't come back

WHAT IF

>SUMMON 6 TREANT PROTECTORS

>go to gym for an hour
>come back
>bullcuck is still crying about NP not getting a good talent

>bottle is viable for non-mid lanes

>tfw you're now allowed to buy all your items before you're actually in-game

works fine for me

>literally more choices to make and more options to consider
>somehow the game is supposedly easier

why do you even listen to /v/, when you add up the ages of everyone who posts there it's a two-digit number

The loss of suicide hurts my heart. They've been shit for over a year and I question this rework.

I just hope they're decent.

I hate Icefrog.

11. honestly it's not that bad considering NP is one of the few heroes who regularly hits 25.

Please tell me the reason why the devs thought it is necessary to almost completely change the core mechanics after a patch where every hero was viable once.

Like I just don't get it.

why
tho

7.00a:
* Changed nature prophets talent to summon 7 treants.

It's day 1 of a new patch that's still on the test realm, of course random idiots on the internet are going to go nuts. Just disregard everything you read for the next 72 hours friendo.

>NECRO AGHS CAN'T DELETE HEROES ANYMORE.
WHY.

its actually impossible to play with this new UI, pleasea tell me i get to keep the old one

Im sure they were called brothers before.

He can't get over the treants my sides

>My test client won't download
it got stuck for me as well. i played some overwatch and when i came back the test client was finished with the installation

ANY LEVEL 25 BONUS YOU SEE ON A SUPPORT IS FUCKING WORTHLESS

EVEN IN 70 MINNUTE GAMES SUPPORTS DON'T GET LEVEL 25.

WHO GIVES A SHIT.

So in your opinion:

DotA got harded or easier for the average player?

Icefrog doesn't give a shit about what you want and that's why he is the greatest

>pushers nerfed again
>carries becoming semi-supports

I dont get it, dota was all about ratting and farming for the first 10 years of its life, why does icefrogo keep phasing those roles out?

Does monkey kings Slam range scale with damage? Seems to get much longer in the late game.

>Ancient Black Dragons now look better than Jakiro
>a fucking ancient creep looks better than an actual hero

>spirit brothers
>implying fourth spirit is not a girl

What the fuck does Valve have against waifus? When is the last time an attractive female was added to the game? December of 2013. Three fucking years ago.

>Ever listening to anything that hipster central, AKA /v/, has to say
You dumb, m8
