Anyone that posts in the Dota Gen thread deserves to be shot

wait, so are we going to have to refresh the page when the patch hits
I just want the notes I don't want to have to wait even longer because of a memeddos

t minus 45 minutes

i'm shaking brehs

Why would Earth Spirit be picked more if Jerax is the only person who can make the hero into more than a melee creep?

i really hope that gen guy kills himself

Post tits while we wait.

Why is there a split between two general threads, wtf?

>40 Minutes left

ALL HAIL GABEN

TYPE "HAIL GABEN" FOR INCREASED RANKED WINS

IGNORE FOR LOW PRIO 10 GAMES

Blame the Gulag for being new enough to not know to avoid the threads with bastardized OP text and Dota gen name

Don't work the patch up to be so big in your head the real thing won't compete. It's an update not a new game.

reddit

who miss /killingfountainwithAlchMaiden/ here?!

The game was better when fountain wasn't highground, you earned the right to spawncamp if it got to that far.

nobody actually fucking likes this man
he's a greedy fat fuck with bad ideas
everything he's ever accomplished has been on the back of other, more intelligent people

>he will never come back

t. edgy contrarian shitposter
We all like and admire him. He bankrolled Dota 2, TF2, CS:GO, and so many more.

you say that like its a good thing?

>dota 2
built off the back of somebody else's work
>tf2
built off the back of somebody else's work
>CS:GO
built off the back of somebody else's work

He's like Steve Jobs; awful person, admirable business man.

Valve has made a system where people do Valves work FOR FREE and then are happy when Valve sells their content in a chest for $2.49 keeping $2.30 of it. Not only that they've set up a nice "Host a LAN once a year collect at least a hundred million" rhythm

Fuck off

He's a ruthless billionaire businessman not some jolly santa of PC gaming

Yes, someone else did the work of MAKING the game. But he FUNDED the making.

2014 gabe looks like a fat sam hyde

Just like Kemal funded the greatest meme team in Dota history only for it to be reveled as a money laundering operation for the Turkish mafia?

Rich men in power never have peoples best interests in mind

but even then it's just repurposed game engines that they modded into something else, they didn't make a goddamned thing until source engine and even that was a travesty, source projectile hit detection was a joke

>Don't work the patch up to be so big in your head the real thing won't compete. It's an update not a new game.
i worked up 6.86 as much and it still ended up surprising me

30 minutes to go chaps

gaben is 11% richer than trump.
We hate him

Shut up casual, don't you know Valve made Half Life? And don't you know if you don't like Half Life you're a Casual? And that if you don't like the company that made half life and give them infinite free passes because you can't remove your nostalgia goggles, you're a casual?

You're not a casual are you user? Prove you're not by never saying anything wrong about Valve ever again or you're a C A S U A L

Any possible buffs or nerfs you're looking forward to?
Techies being viable?
Rupture interrupting channeling while it's applied?
Doom getting more armor?

25 mins to go

Reminder of the currently yet to be disproven leak
>Wisdom stat added to the game, with Visage/Magnus/Venomancer/Puck being some of the heroes added to it
>Monkey King added
>BKB getting buffed
>New five layered totem pole added to Radiant side of the map, acts as a Roshan-like objective where your team gets a mapwide buff for a minute if you destroy a face. Each face has a different buff and different way of defending itself.
>Juke spots getting majorly reworked
>Puck and Visage getting partial reworks for their new main stat
>Offlane is being made back into the suicide lane, whatever that may mean

fuck i am so hyped

Make techies great again

hih hooh

no you aren't
>general is at page 3

EYE OF THE STORM TARGETING THE TARGET WITH THE LOWEST HP %

SOME SORT OF TELEPORT A LA SPIRIT BEAR FOR VISAGE'S FAMILIARS

JUST DO IT ALREADY ICEFROG WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Literally all I want out of this is for Slark, Invoker and Timber to be gutted or deleted, heroes that play themselves belong in LoL

thanks bro
here's your (You)

The leaker also said Techies would be made a Wisdom hero and his mines are being reverted to a slightly nerfed version of his old ones

>invoker
>plays himself
Found the 2k shitstain

Lol if that's true icefrog's been diagnosed with aids and just wants to kill dota so he can have a quiet death without worrying about balancing anymore

Enchantress buff that makes her less of an IAS carry. Maybe add a cooldown and add a scaling with Wisdom.

>Teleport for visage familiars
SO FUCKING MUCH
PLEASE
I WANT HIM TO BE GOOD SO BAD

he also said a lot of existing abilities will be getting vector targeting

>Invoke henchmen
>Invoke cold snap
>Collect free kill

No man you're just really good at Dota

what does he care its valves problem now

>icefrog
>getting ANY pussy
>ever
KEK

most people that have aids are homosex

>getting aids from hetero sex

>less than 20 minutes
I'm pretty hype desu senpai

don't be too happy faggots. It's probably just a new compendium and memefight buff.
sub 20 min deathballs FOR THE WIN

>15 minutes
REV UP THOSE HYPE FOLDERS BOYS

there are so many more heroes that can be drawn there

homos are risky for aids only in the america, elsewhere it's about even for homo and hetero

...

before the thread goes crazy for days with shitposts about 7.00 is there ANY way to mod the game to let me set the map to skins I don't own?

>reddit's face when they see the techies buff

we aren't that fast anymore. this thread has been dying alot this year. Yesterday we had 320 posters which was the highest poster count since ti6. But anyway I expect this thread to be as dead as it is right now by next week

>10 minutes

Jesus christ old tobi (left)

What's so big about 7.00? How is it going to be different from if it were called 6.89

it's because some retard made the replacement thread too early and has all the shitposters in it right now
392 / 145 / 141 / 1
[Update] [Auto] 1

Will Icefrog revert all the unnecessary Doom nerfs?

>unnecessary

yea he totally needed to have a slower base attack time than Spirit Breaker while having his ultimate neutered to a 150 second cooldown

fucking moron

>five (5) minutes

we dont know

Everyone is posting here

>it's coming

what's the likelihood of the next patch being worse than this one

no one cares genposter
