Wank

What if 7.00 is nothing but a new hero and a few items, a couple of hero reworks, maybe an item rework and slight changes to the map?

What if strength gave percentage bonus damage and intelligence gave all damage amplification?

2 MORE SLEEPS!!!! (OR 1 SLEEP IF YOU'VE ALREADY SLEPT AND IT'S DEC 11 MORNING)

PLUS 7.5 HOURS UNTIL SOMETHING (PROBABLY PATCH NOTES AND/OR TEST CLIENT)

drow is da best waifu for lafiu!

Reminder that 7.0 is literally just going to be a tiny balance patch, monkey king, and a bit of in game UI tweaking

>Traits are now a thing on level up instead of stats
THIS IS HOW YOU KILL THE GAME.
Also why the fuck are dual utilities a thing?

the memories, the wasted youth ;_;

G-guys he didn't post it, is he ok? i am worried

Well, for all the hype it probably has to be at least on par with the update that moved Rosh and heavily reworked the map, surely even bigger.

They also called it 7.00 even though 6.89 was still there, so it has to be big.

>tfw just noticed skeleton king in there

If 6.82 wasn't enough for a new number then this better be even bigger than that.

>be autistic enough to balance heroes for almost a hundred times over


How did the frog do it, gulag? How can he continue suffering his fated existence

Will there ever be DOTA grand finals which isn't far superior team vs. far weaker team

how does this happen 6 years in a row

...

Has anyone else noticed how the patches started pandering to reddit ever since Bruno got hired by Valve?

What gives /d2g/, I thought you said he was our guy? It seems now he's turned to the dark side of the dota community.

what the fuck is reddit pandering? why do you visit reddit if you hate it so much?

How can you say that when they added status bars, which pissed off all the 2k pros on reddit?

good stuff, I'll let someone else suggest some now since you did my SF and meepo requests

pretty good
do lycan + wolf + necro creeps + tower

So what is Wisdom going to do, /d2g/?
Strength adds HP, Agility adds armor and attack speed and Intelligence adds mana and spell damage

very sugoi desu ne anonee!
draw cm with xmas hat!

SPELL COOLDOWN
SCREENCAP THIS

Magic res. and mana cost/cd


Because having magic res. tied to a passive stat is fucking over the balance because of BKB getting fucked.

look how keked the Luna was in the grand finals just kek the queen the kekkest kek queen

>they didn't do a 7.0 for the new map
>they didn't do a 7.0 for reborn
>they didn't do a 7.0 for custom games
>they didn't do a 7.0 for pit lord

what the fuck are they planning

if this isn't the biggest update literally ever then it's going to be disappointing

reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/5hp3l3/some_words_about_s4head/
Bitches were like "s4 is so bad why didnt they kick moon???"

New HUD

that's it

When are the prediction points coming in?

What were the most fundamental mechanics changes the last patches? Cooldown reduction items/runes, lifesteal from spells and scaling spell damage come to mind.

How can the madman top that?

The mad man is going to break dota.

And that's why I love him

>YFW FIRST HERO TO BE PLAYED FROM FPS PERSPERCTIVE

>7 hours until pudge and timbersaw nerfs

7.000001 hours until Dota is made great again

What the fuck is this wisdom meme? Why haven't I seen anything about it on reddit?

>axe

shut up retard idiot fag

Post items to buy when you have more gold than common sense.

>He thinks "Wisdom" is a meme.
>Admits to being a ribbitor cancer

I know alpha tester and Wisdom isn't "a meme"

...

The goal isn't really 'balance', it's to mix up the gameplay so things don't get stale.

If the game was SOMEHOW perfectly balanced, people would eventually complain about getting bored.

This needs the maiden copy pasta

>wake up
>N0tail is 1 out of 2 people to win 3 majors in Dota history.
>7.00 in 7 hours.
IT'S A GOOD FUCKING WEEK LADS.

Too lazy to find a picture of orchid

>The goal isn't really 'balance', it's to mix up the gameplay so things don't get stale.
Fucking this.

I think the current patch is one of the most fair and balanced patches dota has had. I mean WE HAD LEGION FIRST PICK meta JUST NOW in the Major. The patch went through solid 10 different p/b metas in its history of 2 majors and TI.

But my god it got fucking stale and boring despite being a very good patch.

I want something fucking crazy to break the game

is Crystal "Maiden" the most horrible title given to someone in dota land?
this "Maiden" doesnt look like a maiden to me , hell Lina the Slayer is more of a maiden compared to this slut.

>strong heroes get nerfed and weak heroes get buffed every patch
>The goal isn't really 'balance'

do clokwerk fighting timbersaw

Butt-thorne

wisdom kek

The goal is balance, but also variety.

Exactly, they want people to stop picking the strong heroes and shift new heroes into the meta, this will happen every patch.

When a strong hero gets nerfed they get fucking DESTROYED.

Morphlings boipussy isn't going to be able to take what's coming to him in 7.00

What is your name, good sir?

you should draw Viper bothering the shit out of someone

Volvo told OG to throw the third game, right?

Like, they just ran into the AF base four times in a row and didn't even try to juke on the escape.

I'll be disappointed if I wake up and dont see
>in game UI completely redesigned
>another hero along with monkey king
>couple new items
>huge ass balance change list completely changing the meta
>a ton of skill changes
you want to jump from 6.89 to 7.00? better contain several years worth of content, assholes

>Morphlings boipussy isn't going to be able to take what's coming to him in 7.00

Morphling is nothing. A good hero. Not OP.

But MY FUCKING SIDES how hard Batrider is going to get fucked. FLAMEBREAK doesn't even cancel TPs and his pickrate just went higher.

That hero will have his fucking funeral in 7 hours.

>Morphling is nothing. A good hero. Not OP.

>have to get up at 5:30 am
>patch drops at 1 am
stay up or go to bed and take a peak before i go to work?

>The patch is so huge that Icefrog needed to make a trailer for it at the end of Boston.
BRUH.

Read the patch notes on the shitter while getting paid at work.

>only 7 hours left before Dec 12 but then I have to wait for 12 hours more because of timezone
FUCK THIS

>implying I have a cushy office job

jark?

...

Post your face when their introduce a new Dragon boss at the radiant side to mirror the Roshan on the dire side.

dude, if you don't have a bathroom at your workplace, you should probably call human services

...

...

I'm calling it roight here and now so I can get karma for this on Reddit later:

-Techies is reworked into an actual Dota hero instead of a cancerous piece of shit.

>3 words

god that would be retarded

>oh they are roshing
>lets go dragon while they rosh

Then both teams had aegis and the game never progessed

Everyone on Veeky Forums hopes you won't wake up

>Instead of aegis the dragon gives permanent +2 armor each time a team killed it

...

Is he the best player in the world?

I'm distracted as fuck need to know whats in this patch!!

He's the cutest
I want to be in a sauna with him and cuddle

>Oh look I can hit a normal kick any 5k player can hit
Reddit goes wild sucking this dude off.

he definitely rivals Ee and even Loh (reads as Loch, translates to piece of shit) for the most autistic person to ever be on a pro team

I'm fairly certain that the "new" being referred to with 7.0 is new heroes that haven't been in dota allstars before, like monkey king.

That's why it's called the "New Journey" update, because it's journeying into more heroes to further diversify the pool.

My guess is that throughout 7.00 updates new heroes will start getting added very frequently, and Icefrog and Valve have been working on a big pool of new heroes to roll out.

Either that or they made a sweet new HUD for the main menu

is it normal to crave nigress porn?

>assfaggots think patch will fix their dying shit game with boosted accounts and single elimination majors

Hahaha you are the shittiest video game general on Veeky Forums and the shittiest community of video games

>>In game MMR boost for 10 dollars per 100 mmr

Wouldn't mmr become meaningless if you can just straight up buy it?

Lu Bu jugg arcana?

i'd say first non-wc3 hero added is plenty reason to jump to 7.00

>This dog shit bait.

>>Juggernaut dual wield Arcana
He's getting a Berserk inspired giant claymore

wasnt that already done with the reborn update or whatever

t. butthurt EG fans

They should make a mask, there's tons of sword items with effects for juggernaut but all masks are shit

>yfw it's a healing ward

master player here
overwatch is literal shit baby game
kys
bye

...

>healing ward
but I actually pulled the golden kitty out of my compendium, pls no

huh what are you on about
I like jerax, but he's almost as obviously autistic as EE is

>No CLQ video making fun of shit pro players at the major

What is happening to him, I legit think he has lost all his willpower for this game. Watching his streams is really sad, he tries so hard to enjoy this game but everyone is cancer.

earth spirit was the one. they

Reminder that while rtz still fights for them 3rd places, EE has won a valve event and moonmeander has won two.

7.00 will have passive skills similar to LoL.

You know how Silencer currently has an 'passive' inbuild ability to absorb INT without needing to level up Glaives?

It makes no sense but Icefraud decided to do that a few patches ago just to buff the hero. At least it will now be consistent across the whole hero pool.

Meepo also currently has an extra +10% base magic resistance? Might as well include in the new passive skills.
