>abyssal lost SIXTY fucking damage
>bloodthorn gives the entire enemy team truestrike
>aquil and drums nerfed
>blademail returns damage BEFORE reductions and returns physical damage as PURE

just fucking delete her already icefraud why even bother

what roll can't kunkka be played in?

is he the perfect hero??

Then they don't have to play fucking ranked matches. Captain's Draft is "the real game", the "serious" game. If you want rank (serious rank for serious players), then you need to play the serious mode.

By the way it takes 4.5 minutes already to pick in ranked AP because your teammates neglect to pick, wait more than 30 seconds and then get randomed into a shitty hero. If you're going to spend 4.5 minutes and have an incoherent draft with no direction you might as well wait that full 5 minutes, have a captain's draft game, and get a coherent draft with a direction that comes from 1 mind.

Guys I want you to know that I made this thread

And I am a league of legends player.
You're posting in a lolbab thread

Just thought you should know
How's the patch though?

Now that the dust has settled, what's the consensus on the latest patch?

The win condition :^)

Don't mind me, just spamming the best solo queue hero in the game, even with nerfs he's still broken when played well.

10/10

>tusk still doesnt have kick as his 5th ability with aghs applying right click damage and guaranteed crit as a bonus

why live

Also, im going to play living fuck out of aghs mirana. Its basically radi for farming (slightly lower dps but more suited to flashfarm waves)

Something like badmedallion boots straight into fuckin aghs or maybe dragon lance on the way? who knows

Reminder that Arc Warden can use Midas more often now

any role because he is unplayable according to pros

fact is, hes super strong supp and has potential for offlaning

>Storm is finally back
I love this patch already.

reminder that you're completely fucking retarded

...

>7200k item
>Countered by a 50 GOLD ITEM
Why are people even building Badthorne? IT'S ULTRA DOGSHIT.

silver age is good sny

I'll give you another post to think about it and admit I'm right.

>has 1200 attack range as melee hero

JUST TP OUT

Then why is there still no girl hero who attack with her butt?
Why is this game filled with hairy musclemen?
Fuck this game was designed for edgey faggots.

>NERF EXORT INVOKER
>QUAS WEX IS THE BIGGEST CANCER IN THE HISTORY

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

me on the right

D-Did you like my upgrade this patch?

slut

Are you jealous that you aren't the cutest girl in that pic?

yeah we know that since 6.82

>implying it matters when your attack deals no damage

Does Bloodthorn active go through BKB?

what's to think about?

it's very clear how it works now, you get two midases on normal cooldown rather than one on his double's cooldown

I've played him in game, you're literally just wrong

JUST GOT BACK FROM WORK
DID WE FIGURE OUT BANANAS YET?

no

damn straight

>blademail is stronger against right clickers with high armor now than it was before
literally kill yourself

Alright, I'll spoonfeed you

You don't use the midas on the main hero. Like, at all.

Fuck Tinker. I hope that cancer hero never becomes meta again.

>BLOODSEEKER CAN NOW FORCE 2 TP'S
>LMAO 2 TP'S OUT!

>before
>pop bkb
>take no damage
>now
>pop bkb
>still take damage

Are you retarded user?

really couldn't give a fuck

PA in the meta is just pure cancer

boring to watch in pro games

boring to play with in pub games

boring to play against in pub games

boring to play as in pub games

why the fuck would you want her to be powerful apart from the blatantly obvious "i'm attracted to video game characters" reason

Reminder that if you want to watch any patch notes "analysis", watch Draskyl's. If any other says more than that, they are just pulling shit out of their assholes to try and """""""predict""""""" the meta

i want to sniff her armpits after my bull is done fucking her silly

Blood thorn is gonna make storm spirit good again

what happened to lifestealer?

>axe

this hero is going to be 6.83 sniper/troll-tier levels of bullshit this patch. I played one game with him already. Played awfully, fed like a retard. Finally built blademail and blink+call+blademail nearly wipes an entire team. It's fucking retarded.

Any decent player doesn't need to listen to what some twitch memer thinks of a patch.

except pros arent even reading them and they just adapt broken shit from pubs into comp games

if you werent new you would know that comp games meta is literally made from your pubshit adventures and them refined and injected back into pub games

t. every fotm hero ever

Since icefrog is adding pure damage to everything as a balancing crutch, he just added devourer as an item and the clairvoyance, how long until we have Ahri?

what went right?
I'm the ET.

True. Is everyone 5k mmr and above here? Ah ok, thanks.

nothing lifesteal can't fix

reminder that redditors will complain that they cant walk/blink away from the stove

they had 5 cores

except she hits like wet tissue because her big damage item lost 60 damage

hence she lifesteals jack shit

they picked 5 greedy carries you fucking retard

there's literally nothing impressive about winning this game

>bloodseeker forces 2 tps out
>effectively thats 2 dead heroes with disabled buyback on 10s+ respawn timer (time spent walking back to fight) unless they have haunt or shit

if that isnt viable af then i dont know what is

They changed how his double works. The midas on the double is no longer off cooldown when you summon it, the cooldown remains. The double isn't a fresh clone any more, it's the same clone resummoned.

I know I'm not wrong since I'm an arc warden spammer that spend several hours testing him in game. Why would you even contest something that's proven to be true?

I really like PA because her voice because she feels like a really really delicate glass cannon that can maybe survive a shitty engagement by being lucky. I like watching her when she just waits in the back until most of the enemies cooldowns are down and then she jumps in to 3 hit the enemy carry, but if she jumps in to early she gets instantly destroyed.

>they just adapt
>adapt

Exactly. Which means, trying to predict anything besides what's obvious in the changelog is useless right now, which makes most theory crafting "analysis" useless. Which was my point.
Pay more attention next time.

>worst patch in 2-3 years.
>d2g still eats it up
why?

>decided to take a break from Dota for dark souls 3
>invasions are so horrible and unbalanced that I legitimately get more upset at playing that game than Dota
>throw the game in the fucking dumpster
Hello again Dota

how long until tp scroll doesn't have to be bought

Imma hack your bitch ass.

Also they had 5 squishy agi carries and your team had Invoker. That should be a free win regardless of what you pick.

?????????????????????????????????????

how new

real question

What are Invasions? I

>lich going mid, maxing sacrifice first and eating every ranged creep/catapult while buying hand of midas and eating XP tomes

What's up guys? I'm level four hundred? dotards?

Oh, you are a fucking smurfer.
That's sad and disgusting "@migellardo".

that means invoker is not nerfed?

no, you can start theoryshittig broken shit just based on patch notes and try it in games

then its survival of the f(a)ittest memebuilds

only dankest survive into comp games like supp alchemist.

>nothing lifesteal can't fix

So basically you're saying that for PA to be viable in this patch you have to spend 900 gold (minimum)

but even with lifesteal you're still fucked

look i dunno if youre retarded or trolling, but you should be able to understand this. If you hit a 1k crit (which is frankly not unlikely at all) on a blademailed hero, you're gonna be hit with a 1k physical damage bkb-piercing nuke. Your armour might take this down to like 700 but you're still fucked. 15% lifesteal isn't going to do anything about that.

dude it's just a beta calm xd

get satanic :^)

When you join another player's session in order to kill him. The player who you invade is chosen randomly through an in game item you can buy. Unfortunately the game prioritizes your invasion target based on how many players he's cooperating with, meaning that you're very very likely to go 2 v 1, up to sometimes 4 v 1. It's incredibly frustrating and it ruins my favorite part of the game.

so do I go Echo Sabre instead of SNY on CARRY Abbadon now?

What if you could use Sacrifice on Heroes?

Why? Sny got massive buffs for melee heroes why miss out on that?

>giving an auto deny on heroes
that would be fucking broken

Echo sabre is only good if an extra attack does anything
Shit like Ursa, Slark, Tiny, Legion Commander

>PA now needs a 6000 gold item to be viable

>buying a 6000 gold item to counter a 2000 gold item

The hero is dumpster tier, stop trying to defend your shitty waifu

...

For what purpose?

There's no value in Abaddon double attacking, curse slow lasts for 2.5 seconds as it is.

>picking her as pos 1
Just go offlane, get iron talon, then rush abyssal.
Not only is she tanky, shes a pain to deal with, meaning that your mid and pos 1 will have plenty of space.

>Dazzle got buffed
>Bane got buffed
>Lion no nerfs

HOW
HOW THE FUCK DO THEY GET AWAY WITH IT

EVERY
FUCKING
PATCH

>LC
>attacks that do things
U wot chum?

>PA
>tanky

Dazzle got pretty heavily nerfed last patch idk what you want

get bf for farming

Blademail axe is F U C K I N G R I D I C U L O U S in this patch. I will ban it every fucking game

>Just go offlane, get iron talon, then rush abyssal.

People like you really shouldn't even open their mouths when it comes to Dota.

Lion is not that really that OP.

just how exactly do you plan on hitting even a single creep as offlane PA?

>Moment of courage + Echo sabre

F R E E
A T T A C K S ?

desolator viper is insane

More like triple attack.
