...

Reminder that Death Prophet didn't deserve ANY nerfs

>call it 6.88
>its not a major patch

Explain this shit dotards.

well perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.

Where's that retard who thought Valve rules were just Reddit bullshit and the rule he pulled from his ass about defending champs was true?

>tfw you have a quarry to settle

i didn't know fear worked for valve or was icefrog himself. thanks for the memo though ;^)

what willn be the meta 1 and 2 this patch
im t hinking tiny

youtube.com/watch?v=r9XS9OPg_lw
Why?

Get rid of shitposts with this one trick shitposters don't want you to know!
pastebin.com/Y4gdRkQC

...

because people like you link it all over the place and give them views

Friendly reminder that people who unironically like Zai should end their lives in a swift fashion. Thank you.

>not pandering to your main audience that will dump money into your game without ever thinking about it

Redditors love it and eat it up, and thus dump more money into the game, how is this hard to understand?

Sniper shrapnel does 825 damage at level 7 and he has 3 charges

>skit

No because pros are too shit to play you.

As if getting bugs up my ass was bad enough

>Sandking has a 7000 damage nuke

Thank you Japanese sensei

RTZcucks and Kaipicucks BTFO

PERFECTLY BALANCED DOTARDS.

Is the ride over?

>call it 6.88
>is just a minor patch

You can't make this shit up, dotards.

does anybody have the other 6.87 posters?

gotta add them to the collection now that 6.88 is out

The TANKS, 'mememids' are so fucking bad in comparison to the other stuff in that

Looks like I'll be one of those EG posters again.

not at all actually, you couldn't be more wrong

memeback was honestly great, buying phase mom into sny into skadi every hero

And so the plan is set in motion. See you guys in the TI grandfinals.

That build was viable in 6.87 too because pros didnt pick nukers

how do you like my draft /d2g/ ?


Dager out

This Warcraft movie is pretty good dotards

Name a worse patch than Troll/Sniper one.

Oh wait you can't.

>Class in 8 hours
>Physically exhausted but mentally wide awake
>Can't fall asleep

Help Dotards what do I do, I already read patch notes

watch
anime

Well it is pre-cataclysm lore so I would hope so.

I wasn't there when tanks was posted

can you post it please so I can save it?
thank you

I think we could have made a decent 6.87 meta out of this poster

>One Armlet to rule them all

...

Of course you can't. That shit literally set Dota 2 back years.

you can actually see the transition into reddit

too bad it doesn't have any text that would say that in any of the posters.

>MFW D2G GETS BTFO WHEN EG IS INVITED TO TI6

>wake up
>patch
Uhhh... Dotards?

>wake up
>Zai to EG
>688 patch

how fucking salty does one broseph have to be to make this shit

If 6.88 doesn't get Beastmaster, Slardar, Naix, Disruptor under control there will probably be another patch b4 TI

nah

they'll patch after opens qualifers
then after qualifiers

from left to right its actually

reddit, reddit, d2g, reddit, d2g, d2g, d2g

6.86 turned out to be pretty awful but yeah nothing will ever be quite as bad as troll sniper.

ARTEEZY WAS SUPPOSE TO BE THE CHOSEN ONE BUT HE HASN'T WON A MAJOR TOURNAMENT AT ALL, WHAT HAPPENED?

streaming instead of practicing

No because sun ray is still an incredible skill that scales amazingly into late game

why did Riki get nerfed
this is a valve made patch isn't it
too scared to nerf hard enough, nerfing irrelevant heroes and buffing everyone with very small numbers, these numbers all seem to be reverts to some extent too

"EG sent us to a hell but we are going even deeper. Take back everything that we have lost.
"Puppey, I'm already a demon."

>pick omni
>nobody else picks support
>pos1 is a melee hero with no laning presence
>everyone does the best to stay out of my spell range

every time

>idiots think Beast and Phoenix got nerfed
I got some bad news m8s....

Shrapnel doesnt stack tho famalam

wtf happened to icefrog
why isnt he straight up killing heroes with nerfs anymore
these conspiracy theories that he isnt working on dota start to make sense now

How about this one then?

>it's a pie gets fucked in the ass episode

>Kaldr vs Pudge

:(

>tfw fell for the meme that dota is good again

Is this the "Alliance wins TI" patch?

mute all
mute team
random
play on your own
enjoy dota

Unironically rewatched the Mario Party games 3 times.
Made me feel like I had friends.

Can still be made as a Manila special edition poster. "Return of the King" is pretty fucking fitting for that.

Never-ending Crystal Maiden buffs. I get it Icefrog, I'll start playing support, jeez.

Loda would have to unretard his monkeybrain so no.

pretty much

that and DP's siphon got nerfed into the ground

>play heroes with fat teamfight ults like tidehunter, warlock, magnus
>they always feel low impact and dissatisfying

ELDER TITAN WASN'T NERFED

You really shouldn't play a team game if you're pretty much playing on your own.

I think he does, just definitely not this patch
this is the dumbest sequence of nonevent number changes i've seen in a while
the only change anyone will notice is winter wyvern's ult cd, because she'll shit out more ults that nobody does any damage with
I dare anyone to ask in game what this patch changed in a month's time

until you realize that the Dota 2 community is full of morons who you'd rather not communicate with.

Well I've never done this kind of shit before, but I'll see what I can do.

If you didn't think Spirit Siphon was flagrantly overpowered, you should just leave /d2g/ right now.

I just randomed invoker, I never used him in my entire life. How do I play him? ring of repick?

>play 4 games without even realizing there has been a patch

epic

>never used him in my entire life. How do I play
repick now

if you want to learn him you will have to play bots first

How would you make Sniper viable again?

At the very least Shrapnel should stack imo

level wex and exort
the only spells you will need are alacrity and sunstrike to throw out random assists onto lanes or stealing kills if you get gud
go to safelane
click hard
build clicking hard items
never level quas

Make him into a support

9.0 Int gain

should shrapnel stack so you don't feel retarded for saying it does

I liked Sniper/Troll thing. I am kinda dumb and the game was easy back then.

Hello RTZ

he's viable to an extent
you have to pick him in the right lineup, he can't handle anyone who can get up in his shit really quickly like spirit breaker
also stop building lifesteal on him

>10 seconds of vision that deals damage and slows
>Insane range for unlimited harassment in lane
>Can deal 650 damage from 3000 range away on a 10 second CD that also mini stuns
He's what all supports dream of being

...

>sniper is back

NAdotards are delusional

Even reddit agreed they would need to go through open qualifiers from the first moment. I don't know why you blame reddit when they showed more brains here than half of d2g.

It's probably better that they go through the qualifiers anyway given that fact they often complain on not scrimming enough and are often out of practice.
