So how badly do we want a new balance patch?

I want icefrog to go full madman and make it a 7.00 patch already

I don't want a massive balance patch, things are pretty good right now. Some minor buffs to underplayed heroes, maybe put arc in captains mode.

not that badly honestly. this patch is not really that bad, i could do without le epic water nigger being literally unkillable but thats about it

that fucking HoDM shit now that is gonna get a pro game and that is gonna get patched as fuck rip 35 siege creeps

7.00 will be monkey king next year right?

siege creeps only spawn every 5 or so minutes, not exactly the easiest thing to build up

...

where are all the good ta lewds at?

What if this champ actually did damage?

i hate this patch.

so much annoying shit to play against.
you start questioning yourself if winning is even wroth having a mental breakdown.
valves "everything is op so nothing is formula" doesn't work in this game. return to flavor of the month.

Can you Astral Mirana mid leap? If so, what happens after it ends?

what exactly would this entail only been around since 6.81

I want Slark, Invoker and Timber dumpstered. They've been meta and OP for so goddamn long they can become totally irrelevant and it wouldn't hurt the game one bit.

yes and she stays where she was astraled. same thing that happens when you stun phoenix mid dive not that you are good enough to pull that off

...

OD and Sniper have made their way back.

He's got a 53.54% winrate in 5k+ now (in the top 10) and Sniper has crawled back to over a 50% winrate.

You been winning your games, son?

I only win unranked games

nothing at all really but it would be sick

I just want patch notes so I can theorycraft dumb shit. Hopefully no more new items get added or I'll lose my shit.

shit i didn't mean 6.81 i've been here since 6.77

too late
newfag
babby

Cool, thanks

oh no i'll forever been identified as a newfag on the d2g how will i survive

Which hero would make for the best president of the USA?

outhouse dongler in the meta again would be fun as fuck but sniper needs to stay in trench tier

gyro
sven

>go university
>guy randomly mentioned he played dota
>"TI6 was cool eh ?"
>shooting dota shit for a while
>"so hmmmm you watched Chi Long Qua ??"

couldn't believe my ear

fucking NA university

techies none of them have hair

>go university

Sniper is viable again since meme pike and shrapnel almost doing twice as much damage as it used to.

the dynasty is everywhere

full time NEETs need not apply ofc

>-25

CAUSE IM FREEEEEE, FREE FALLIN'

the problem with sniper isn't even the hero itself, it's that he's a fucking magnet for clueless memelords because gun = cod

if i see another assassinate on a full health hero i will kick a puppy

Is that Hugo Weaving?

is fdl > np true?

>if i see another assassinate on a full health hero i will kick a puppy

If you have the mana to use it for harass (especially on low HP supports) then I don't see a problem with this.

It can force them to back or start a teamfight at a disadvantage.

When does trench end? 5k?

Teammate randomed Chen jungled, never used creeps in fights, brown boots level 5 dagon.

WHAT

WENT

RIGHT?

I was the storm

the trench never ends

OD back in the meta baby

Is SK the fastest wave clearer?
I'm talking about normal creep waves, not aoe damage in general.

depends on what items the heroes have. once kunkka has a few items he 1 shots creep waves with his splash pretty ez.

The hero we need against waternigger.

SF can clear waves in 2 razes, Timbersaw can by using all his spells in quick succession, Axe can quick if he gets some good RNG.

>2013
>one hallmark of noob dota is the tendency to build treads on everyone

>2016
>now it's phase

What changed?

Side-note: I'm seeing a trend among 2k players lately where they all do BoT rush no matter what hero or role. What is THAT all about

dude free tp scrolls lmao

I don't really see any prominent boot choices overall.

Some cores even stay on brown boots while getting other items.

Offlanners and supports often go for Tranqs, a few supps still go for arcs though.

Cores will vary between Treads and Phase if they don't stick on brown boots. Some might even go straight for BOTs for stronger map presence.

What is the purpose of this hero? I have literally never seen him do anything. He just stuns people with his shitty stun then either runs away or right clicks for no damage.

>BoT rush no matter what hero or role
they've been watching Merlini stream

i'm talking about him randomly blasting at heroes that aren't even nearby or about to gank.

What heroes/ items are good against alchemist?

If this fucking hero gets a buff because no one is playing him, I'll be 6k in 2 months

2K haven't seen BoT rush but I mean if I don't build treads or phase for some reason I'll usually buy BoT. Free lanes since not only can you out walk them you can LITERALLY just tp out.

>Timber and Slark are OP
When fucking pudge outperform an """"OP"""" you know they aren't OP

what is the secret

Give me a reason to keep playing this nightmare video game
5.6 avg with a 3 stack in solo ranked"

most popular carries dont need attack speed that badly because they either naturally have high agility or build into other attack speed items early so threads is preferable except on heros that need to tread swap

Makes his no damage carry do damage.

Hero can be very active early due to FREE haste rune and is an effective roamer once blink is up with others backing him up.

Throughout team fights he has a low cooldown AOE stun to use and amp damage to help his team kill heroes faster, maybe he'll even get a lucky bash.

Then amp damage is great for Rosh / revealing invis units too.

Depending on how he builds he is a decent DPS core late game also.

lmao get dad dicked by a pudge with a memebuild

Phase vs Treads bugs me because I can never decide which to get on PA or WK.

>get phase
>crits not proccing as often because of less attack speed
>can't toggle for ez regen

>get treads
>no phase effect to chase runners
>crits do less damage when they proc

i mean phase is more preferable

seriously how does that clock streak make sense, what mmr are you?

Read up on how much battery assault does on level 4 and go mid

>Added Wings Gaming to the Shopkeeper's Aegis of Champions.

>bottle

>jump in
>stun
>get FREE vision and FREE minus armor on someone
>FREE bash
>every couple of seconds

honestly what more do you really want from your offlaner?

...

>ever going back to base with an urn and a bottle

>mid

but I dont want to get reported

ty bb

Should pretty much always get phase on PA.

You have an inbuilt slow, attack speed and distance closing ability so phase is just so you can get in range easier to use them while also amplifying your crit damage.

...

who is this semen demon?

Why do people still pull the easy camp on safe lane?

Naix, AA, force staff

Why is life so shit?

Don't know any better.

If you stack it just once it will clear a creep wave and it's harder for the enemy offlaner(s) to contest.

If you're worried about the offlane contesting the pull it's a little safer then pulling the big camp, or if your carry won't push the creep equilibrium far enough forward to pull the big camp, though you could pull it closer to the offlane instead of on the diagonal I guess

We can start with

How do I play Huskar without feeding a gorillion times?

I'm honestly puzzled how there hasn't been one yet.
I started spamming timber just last week and I'm on a 12 game winning streak.

because they can stack to kill the wave while being ins a much safer position to get xp and gold early on your support. you can also single pull at 3 minutes to geta double wave with a catapult for pushing with shit like an enchantress or chen for an easy tower

the real question is how do you not already know this? are you 2k?

be careful what you're picking into I guess
