(Q) Illusive Dash: The Monkey King quickly dashes forward a short distance, striking every enemy he contacts. Seconds later, he performs a second dash.

(W) Heavenly Vault: The Monkey King plays a game of leap frog on a series of opponents, using their heads as springboards to launch himself further. Unfortunately for his victims, monkey feet are heavy, and they are knocked backwards.

(E) Thousand Jin Slam: The Monkey King brings down his magic staff at full force, causing a mountain of earth to erupt in front of him, thrusting victims into the air before imploding.

(R) Flying Nimbus: Noncombat mount. When not taking damage, the Monkey King may choose to coast upon a magic cloud, granting movement speed and other bonuses.

so bad slark

Nice HoN skills.

>all this screaming in the pods
Where can I see more of this?

wtf that's like almost a copy of my meme hero i posted on here a while ago
is there a Veeky Forums archive i would like to find it

Reminder that Illusions will get dumpstered after this TI and Monkey King will be dead on arrival

>illusions now deal 50% damage to towers and 75% damage to heroes
>illusions are now distinguishable from each other
>illusions no longer trigger any effects on attack (such as diffusal blade and critical strike)
>illusions can no longer use evasion
>Disruption Illusion damage decreased to 30/40/50/60, taken to 200%
>Omniknight no longer has a cast point
That's 6.89 for you.

>EG is literally the only team left who was expected to do good
Are they going to do it?

This one first dotards

One of the about 10 removed dota 1 heroes, and for some reason the only discussed one.
Not the GOD with 1 min sleep with 15 sec CD. Not the old pudge who was a summoner. Not even the Terran Marine only pickable by randoming.
how are you guys this dumb. You can literally see PL do his Doppelganger in the PL arcana teaser

Don't forget the TB nerf eventhough we haven't seen him in a while.
And the traditional Earth Spirit nerf that comes with every patch

>naga song of the siren reworked
>naga and all her illusions sing a song that lulls enemy heroes and units, lowering the damage they deal
>the illusion's songs aren't as power as the real naga siren
>naga's song damage reduction -25%
>illusion damage reduction -5/10/15%
>400 radius
>100/125/150 mana cost
>140/120/100 cooldown
>lasts 7 seconds
>doesn't go through bkb
>the song ends if the unit gets silenced

(Q) The Magic Cudgel - Sun Wukong's Magic Cudgel grows in length, and he slams it down, damaging all enemies in front of him. Creeps take an extra +25% damage.

(W) Master's Will - Sun Wukong strikes around him, damaging and slowing all enemies.

(E) 72 Transformations - Sun Wukong transforms into an Eagle, Tiger, or Ox, and charges forward.

Eagle: Is the fastest of the three forms. Immune to Slow and Root effects.

Tiger: Mauls the first enemy runs into, stunning and causing damage.

Ox: Knocks aside all enemies in his path and causes damage. Immune to Slow, Root, and Disable effects.

(R) Somersault Cloud - Sun Wukong leaps onto his cloud, leaving a decoy behind to fight. While on the cloud Sun Wukong is invisible, and regenerates health. He may leap off before the duration expires, dealing damage. The decoy inherits a percentage of Sun Wukong's current strength and defense. The decoy is killed instantly if hit by a stun or other disable. If the decoy dies, Sun Wukong is revealed on his cloud.

dark terminator was boring op mess, nothing to discuss
pudge discussed to death
god not interesting
gambler is happy merchant

>pudge discussed to death

i hope eg loses LMAO

>Asian players don't go bald
I wish i was asian

TI ENDS TOMORROW

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>Doom the Bringer will never be made great again
why the fuck did icefraud have to gut his ult so much

>/d2g/ goes back to being DED

...

Will he do it?

With Monkey King announced, we are 7 heroes away from a complete roster (60 heroes per side, 40 per attribute)

Who's next?

Hey dotards, only 1 more day till you go back to being a dead game again

dotards will defend this

Oh please no. Don't further dumpster the edgemeister. Weren't TNC the only ones running the guy?

>Get agh's and blink
>Kill any hero with ult damage alone, except people with 2000 health before 20 minutes

>not dark terminator
shit list

HELP ME DOTARDS, WHERE CAN I SEE HERO STATISTICS FOR TI6 SO FAR?

It's okay we'll rest a couple of weeks and then we can post lengthy blogs about firstpick pitlords ruining our 2K matches

but we're getting a patch in two weeks and then another one like one month later

>Added monkey king
>Not Astral Trekker

Dotards?

Explain this shit dotards

ddg.gg
Type in "!dota ti6:

When is the Town 2 supposed to be?

Yet more proof why Fear is the most iconic pro doto

i'm ready

dotabuff.com/esports/events/126

>[Fountain-hooking] was too strong

dotards BTFO by future president of estonia

>alchemist
why is he being picked

Did you forget what Valve time is?

We might get Pitlord on time but that Journey update is going to be delayed.

I thought Phantom Lancer was supposed to be DOTAs monkey king hero, how are valve going to differentiate them?

Whoever wins the LB game will reap the most points even if they lose grand finals

Thanks Valve.

that's "old" centaur
the 10s root is top meme though

I couldn't come up with hero design this poor if I tried

Seriously? Do you not remember the entirety of the past year? Doom has a stupid fucking set of spells that make him become retarded the moment he becomes viable.

Shit, the nigger is probably still viable, he's just overshadowed by the current meme-meta. When you have a massive farming steroid that also gives you flexibility and "I counter everything", you are never unplayable.

>how are valve going to differentiate them?
By making one a monkey and the other a cat?

God you dotards are truly dumb

Kuro came up with the idea

Only 49.99$ for ti7

and they will expire :^)

I swear if they release one more fucking male hero...

>Phantom Lancer removed for pressing ceremonial reasons

PL's gimmick is consistent and persistent illusions.

Wukong's theme is probably more mindfucky than that with a lot if stupid tricksy shit going on. The only illusion skill he'll have is that ultimate that just summons a fuckton of monkeys in one go.

who /premature post-ti depression/ here?

Can OUR GUY do it?

Wasn't Sun Wukong abilities are kinda similar to PL, honest question.

Because Muh Free Gold.

Honestly Alchemist is fine if you don't go for the retarded Octomeme build. The hero can completely steal a game by becoming an unkillable fucklord by like 25m with Vanguard-Armlet-Radiance-Heart-AC, but no instead let's build fucking Octomeme because of muh ult uptime and then build fucking worthless-ass Shiva's.

DOTARDS

WILL

DEFEND

THIS

COMPANY

pl took one of his spells but wukong was never released so they prob just reworked him

>20 charges

gee i dunno it's not like other illusion heroes exist and are different. truly, valve has fucked themselves over with this one

No

Sun Wukong is not Phantom Lancer

Sun Wukong is warrior who is a tricky asshole.

He can summon illusions, most likely his ult which will summon decoys just like every ASSFAGGOT, but his tool kit is not illusion based like PL

The little flower levelup effect from TI6 actually put me entirely off the idea of visible auras
I don't know why but it really bothers me

sumail didn't go the octomeme build and still got BTFO

>win 2 games in lb
>lose 3 games in grand final

Joke or Hint?

When the haircut is just right

Honestly im fucking tired of illusion heroes.

He doesnt have a built-in invisibility right? Because if he does i will literally quit playing supports.

valve put that rainbow radiance into the game

annoying as fuck

I'm sure if you can make Terrorblade, Naga Siren, and PL feel different enough from each other while having Illusions as their core game-play mechanic, you have enough space for Monkeyfucker.

Just have them be very short-uptime. Useful more for fuckery and proMLG jukes than as damage sources.

>Oh no another illusion hero guys how will we deal with him when PL exists (forgetting that Naga and Terrorblade also exist)

Are you dotards this stupid or like have you never seen the several incarnations of Sun Wukong in other MOBAs such as LEL and Smite?

He's not an illusion here, yeah he'll summon decoys of himself like the other MOBAs versions of him but he's not based around illusions.

Do your research, dotards.

i kind of like it
it's subtle and looks good
desu

YOOOOOOOOOOOOoOOOoOOOOoooooooooo Any dota 1 niggers here?
What the fuck did you use to counter Pit Lord and Wu Kong?

>Gem of True Sight will also now reveal illusions

MAKE IT HAPPEN ICE FRAUD

That monkey has fucking Dreamworks face.

They still get points for playing 5 games instead of 3

Monkey King wasn't a hero in the final version of Dota 1

Though he was teased for years

post >yfw EG wins the dota owl

What if Nagas illusions were summoned as charges with one every 13~ seconds, instead of all 3 at once?

Gambler and Ahri.

this is the part of the dota thread were you shut-ins pretend you wouldn't plow the shit out of kitty

>invisible ganker with illusions, silence and global presence

He's the ONLY one that didn't go Octomeme Build and aside from I'm sure relative unfamiliarity with the hero (Seriously, I have not seen him play Alch at all in recent memory), their issues didn't come down to having 33k networth of worthless meme-items. PPD got drafted into a corner and then didn't ban Huskar. If your line-up can't beat Huskar, you are not going to win.

pic related
it's not happening

pit lord wasnt really played at all

>needing to counter Pit Lord

lol

I would bang a 5/10

not sure what that has to do with kitty my standards aren't high

>countering shitlord

>Le Monkey King
>Not the Gambler

DOTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARDS

Who the fuck is that guy desu

you are supporting the safelane and this guy smacks your carries ass. what do you do?
keep in mind he has infinite regen and can burst you down with one combo.

why do i feel like Brazzers will make a bid on that costume and do things with it?

beta tester

i don't know about that slut but i would literally gf the omni

Some guy who mods the dota 2 reddit who has Valve insider information because he mods the dota 2 reddit

Apparently he beta tests things

Pay him a few million dollars to fuck off.

no he doesn't
